I need to go to the mailbox. There should be a top in there for me I ordered. I really need it to fit and look great as I am out of options for something to wear to my niece's wedding on the beach.

A bikini?

Perhaps Ben and elmore are eating a vat of chili together, playing Parcheesi, and eating fish sticks on the side - the one thing that's apparent is their collective balls will be dropping elsewhere - and I'm jiggy with that, balls dropping-wise.

Now I'm listening to the soundtrack of Atlas Shrugged.

I like the idea of DRs Ginny and Elmore playing parcheesi. Does anyone still play parcheesi?

I like that idea, too, DR Jeanne!

Part II of Atlas Shrugged should be to me on Blu and Ray in February. Can anyone think of another example of a multi-part film where part two features a completely different creative team, composer, and all new cast playing roles that other actors played in part one?

One thing I was surprised about when I moved to Virginia is that there are independent cities that are not part of a county. For example, Alexandria and Falls Church are cities that are not in a county. Arlington is a county. Then there's Fairfax City, which is not part of Fairfax County.

Fascinating, huh?

I've come across that in a few places. A genealogist's nightmare, for those who partake in such things.

Fifteen minutes to go for the Eastern Time Zone.

I hadn't thought of it from that standpoint.

Many people assume, as I had, that ALL cities are part of a county. Many times I'd be asked which county I lived in and, of course, I didn't. "City of Alexandria", as Kevin points out, means "CITY of Alexandria."

I suspect it mostly happens in older (as in 200 years old) areas.

East Coast balls - get ready.

Almost time to drop 'em.

I've seen that in a TV series or two. Most annoying, IMHO.

I think I'll prep the champagne bottle so that all I have to do is pop the cork. It has been my custom for the last few years to have one tiny sip of champagne at midnight. I don't like the taste, but I do it. Then the bottle usually sits in the refrigerator until next New Year's, when I discard it and replace it with a fresh bottle.

Firecrackers in our neighborhood...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #344 on:** December 31, 2012, 08:44:19 PM »

We really don't want to end this on Page Twelve, do we?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #345 on:** December 31, 2012, 08:44:49 PM »

The East Coast will be humiliated if we end our portion on Page Twelve.

8 Minutes to go!

Via Facebook, I asked my cousin in Japan about 2013. He said, "So far, so good!"

Balls are at the ready on the East Coast.

And then we have three hours till the official West Coast New Year's Rockin' Eve balls drop and 2013 really begins.
