Remember???
Ten years ago, up here, we were in the midst of the repercussions of the Ice Storm. In my case, 11 days without hydro and the loss of people I had thought were good friends (Nothing like Mother Nature to point out the cracks in a supposedly solid friendship, big time!).

Nine years ago tonight, we were all curled up on our couches, wondering if we had stored enough stuff to get us through the initial 2K meltdown. I don't know about you, but I held my breath at midnight, not really believing we were going to have problems, but well, it didn't hurt to be ready. Just in case, eh? I remember feeling very consoled that 2K had hit in Australia and they were still functioning.

For those of you still on-line tonight, my early wishes. May 2008 bring you health, wealth and prosperity. May it be kind to you. May it bring you the fic you want to write and the fic you want to read.

I want to thank you all for the support you've provided over the years. The encouragement. The feedback. :-)

Virtual tight hugs to all of you.

Love,

Josan

What a wonderful wish! The last is so often provided by you so I hope this one comes true for you as well.

From Australia: a very Happy New Year to you. This one seems to be safe so far.

*big hugs*

Thank you.

What? No ice storms? Mind, a little hard when you're having +40 temps. :-)

*giggles* No ice storms and the heat is almost tolerable at the moment but you just reminded me of new year 2 years ago. I really thought the world was going to just keep getting hotter and hotter until we all fried up. Here's how hot it was then:
It's now 1:38pm and the temp. has reached 43.2oC or 109.76oF. How much fucking hotter can it get? Er, maybe I shouldn't have asked that...it's now 2:16pm and 44.6oC - 112.28oF. FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
I think it got up to about 47oC before it started cooling off.

47C! OMG! I don't know how you did it!

I hate the 30s, whether plus or minus; never mind the 40s!
