| 80. i have never gone out on new years eve, i will never. i have no desire |
|
and i feel no pressure to. i dont like the whole concept and i have never felt bad that i have never done it. i do new years eve the way i want, not the way others think i should do it, or they chose to do it. but then i left about all my life that way, wink
happy new years to you
good health to your wife
and hugs to your daughter
