AN EARLY HAPPY NEW YEAR POST!

[lights1961]

98% of the planet refers to decades this way and most of us know it starts with the 1, but you always get the Smarty McFarty who has to pop up and go "um, technically..."

If it works in past referece, then it works in present and future reference too. Next Friday begins a new decade (maybe not *AHEM* "techically", but for general purposes, yes).

+1 here... not that I lose sleep over this...

I've lost sleep over it for a decade now - ever since 2000.

YOU must be REALLY TIRED!!!

happy new year...

"Although any period of ten years is a decade, a convenient and frequently referenced interval is based on the tens digit of the calendar year, as in using 1960s to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969. Often, for brevity, only the tens part is mentioned (60s or sixties), although this may leave it uncertain which century is meant. These references are frequently used to encapsulate pop culture or other widespread phenomena that dominated such a decade, as in The Great Depression of the 1930s.

Some writers like to point out that since the common calendar starts from the year 1, its first full decade contained the years from 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on. The interval from the year 2001 to 2010 could thus be called the 201st decade, using ordinal numbers. However, contrary to practices in referencing centuries, ordinal references to decades are quite uncommon."

WHEW!!! I hope this is gonna be an open book test. Otherwise, I'm in trouble.

Here's a secret they never let you in on.....the "terrible twos" start at 18 month and last until about 4 or 5.

But it's all good cuz you'll look back on all of it fondly.

Happy New Year to everyone at MR.

I'll be spending a quiet evening at home with my husband. We'll be enjoying some king crab and watching The Hangover. New Year's Day, party with friends.

I found these old photos of my grandparents Lucy & Ray enjoying a New Years Eve party back in the 40's. Thought I'd share it with you all. Even though they both passed on over 30 years ago. I still miss them so much.

And to you as well, P. Hoping you make it to MRF. Will be fun to meet ya.

I'm determined for 2010 to be better after an absolute full-on crappy 2009.
2010 needs more hightlights. Hopefully MRF will be one of them.
