Goodbye and Good Riddance 2018: The Real Bad Place Was The Friends We Made Along The Way
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2018. You have a lot to turn around, 2019. Be a Good Place.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congratulations Debet!

Awesome, debet!
I am holding off on summing up this year until my next doctor appointment on January 2nd. I feel like that will be a fitting cap to the year, good or bad.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Debet!
And meara, your 2018 doesn't have to follow the calendar, either.
I'm starting to see ads for how to celebrate the New Year 2019. It feels freaky. Personally, I think I'll do what I did last year -- get on the Net, tune to a radio station in London, and celebrate with the British at 7:00 Eastern time. Go out for a quiet dinner (there's an Irish pub near the apartment), and spend a quiet evening at home until going to bed at a reasonable hour. Yes, I'm 56 years old. Partying until dawn never was my thing, and it's even less so now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Thanks, everyone! We're pretty excited. You know, when not puking.
We'll likely be playing board games to ring in the new year. A neighbor does fireworks, so we'll get that display by proxy.
Meara, seems legit.

Congratulations, Debet!
I'm thinking board games would be a good NYE activity. Board games and bubbly!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm thinking board games would be a good NYE activity. Board games and bubbly!
We've played Pandemic Legacy (both seasons) for the past two NYEs and I highly recommend this approach!
