Anyone else not yet have a date for New Year's Eve?

[liberalhistorian]

It's especially important for me to celebrate this year since I just started a couple of new businesses on the side that I'm hoping will grow into full-time endeavors, and my 40th birthday is Monday, January 3 (YIKES! I know for you gentlemen that's not a big deal, but for us gals, trust me, it's a very big deal!)

I was supposed to spend the evening with my best friend of 23 years and her boyfriend, but she now has to be out-of-town through the weekend. So, here I am, dateless yet again on New Year's Eve, SIGH. Maybe we should have a DU group gathering Friday night for those of you in the same position!

[jellybelly]

1. well...

I'd leave my date for a DU gathering anytime:)

[Left Is Write]

2. You're welcome to come over here.

It's just me and the hub and kids, unless we can get some of our friends to drop by. We'll have appetizers, goodies, drinks, cards, Trivial Pursuit (SNL and 90s versions), and music.

[liberalhistorian]

3. Are you in Northeast Ohio?

I'm in Painesville, twenty miles east of Cleveland. Given the area, there'll probably be a blizzard Friday night and we'll all be stuck at home, anyway, lol!

[Left Is Write]

12. No, I'm over two thousand miles away.

:(

[short bus president]

4. Pssssst! It's Friday night, December 31st.

;-)

[liberalhistorian]

6. LOL!

Ya wanna come up from beautiful warm NC to cold, snowy Cleveland, and be my knight in shining armor for the evening? :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[short bus president]

10. Hrm...

my Evening Armor is at the Dryblacksmith's. Ask about my special rates involving bunny suits!

[liberalhistorian]

22. Bunny suits?

Hmmm........now that would, indeed, be interesting; I'm all for trying new things! Got any "doctor's suits?" :evilgrin: :bounce: :bounce:

[short bus president]

39. Matter of fact I do.

I even have a nice cold stethoscope I could bring. ;-)

[liberalhistorian]

41. Oooohh, baby,

be still my pounding heart! How about whipped cream and butter (use your imagination!)

[short bus president]

45. You bring the whips and the butter...

;-)

[liberalhistorian]

58. No, no, no,

I said WHIPPED CREAM and butter, NOT whips and butter! Sheesh, you men! I'm too much of a lady to be into S & M, anyway, although I can be a tiger in plenty of other ways (use your imagination). I'm particularly good at..........uh-oh, never mind, we're supposed to behave ourselves on lounge threads now, SIGH.

[GOPisEvil]

5. I don't have a date, but there's a party at my house anyway!

I haven't had a date for NYE in probably 15 years. I'm used to it by now. :-)

It's a DU party! If I had a webcam, I'd post streaming video. LOL

[liberalhistorian]

7. A DU party sure sounds like fun, and

a great way to ring in the new year; I sure wish there were one around here!

[bleedingheart]

8. Mr. B and I were going to spend it with the kids...

but I was thinking about having a party at our house...but it is probably too late for that...

[liberalhistorian]

9. Try to throw a little something together,

you'd probably be surprised at how many people don't have plans, but wish they did!

[hollywood926]

11. I'm playing games at my boss's house. Bluh. n/t

[liberalhistorian]

24. Whoa! Better let

him/her win if you want to have a job on Monday morning!

[miss_kitty]

13. What's a date?

and why would New Year's Eve be different from any other night?

[mcscajun]

17. I'm glad you asked that question...

I'm looking for the same answers.

[noshenanigans]

14. Nope. *sigh*

I'm trapped in rural-ass North Carolina while all of my friends are in California, and there's not even anything to do here unless I want to ring in 2005 in Wal-Mart (shyeah).

So, I'll probably be right here in the DU lounge, sloshed on wine and posting things I shouldn't.

[shanti]

43. hey

i'll join ya!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. I'm by myself, too

I literally have not had a date for New Year's Eve since 1987.

How pathetic is that?

[miss_kitty]

30. uh-I don't think I've Ever had a date for NYE

So that could be much more pathetic than yours.

:|

[Kat45]

16. Yet? That sounds like a date might be expected -- and none is.

I haven't bothered with NYE for years anyway. It's not even worth bothering to go out, unless there's something pretty special going on.

Don't worry about hitting 40 in a month: I've had some of the best sex of my life in my forties; doncha know, "older women" in their forties are cool these days. :-) Unfortunately, about a month after you hit 40, I'll be hitting 50!

[liberalhistorian]

40. Well, one good thing

is that I had a complete hysterectomy a couple of years ago, and I feel better than I've felt in a very long time. So I think my 40's are going to be a good decade, at least I hope!

[supernova]

18. I'll be here

I was thinking about going to our "First Night" celebration in Raleigh, but i"m not too keen on being out on the street alone.

So I'll be here.

I do think I will go to a champagne tasting earlier in the afternoon, though. So I will pick myself up a bottle of bubbly. And have mimosas on NY's Day.

[EstimatedProphet]

19. I'm not doing anything for New Years

Conflicts in plans mean that the Prophetess and I aren't going to be together for New Years. So I will be logged in I expect.

[neebob]

20. Not yet?

Nope, not yet. :)

[SarahB]

21. I wish I did.

It would be really nice to go out and have fun with a man I didn't have a bunch of emotional baggage with. Just dinner and dancing maybe. I'm ready. :D

[Taverner]

23. Hey, I don't have a date...

Mind if I join ya?

[SarahB]

26. Sadly, I need more than a cyber dude.

One way or another, I think it's time for me to hit the world of reality very soon. :D

Thank you though, handsome!!!!
:yourock:

[Taverner]

33. Send me a ticket and I'll fly to Stepford :)

[SarahB]

36. It's awfully lonely in Stepford.

:(

[liberalhistorian]

28. Well, you're three thousand

miles away, but you're welcome to join me on DU cyberspace, if I'm here!

[liberalhistorian]

25. Yes, you're right, it sure would,

especially the lack of emotional baggage part! Just a nice evening, a nice dinner and good conversation, with the usual toast at midnight. SIGH.

[NightTrain]

52. Well, I'm local.

:hi:

[liberalhistorian]

57. You guys should have

an impromptu DU gathering for the evening, then!

[maveric]

27. I have a date with 30 comatose and incapacitated patients on ventilators.

Like every holiday I have to work.

[liberalhistorian]

29. Are you a

doctor or nurse?

[maveric]

47. Nurse, LVN

In a Sub-Acute(critical care), unit of a convalescent hospital.

[Wapsie B]

31. Respiratory Therapist? n/t

[SarahB]

35. How's your sat rate, baby?

:D

[Wapsie B]

46. Runn'n about 98% and climbing baby

;-)

[maveric]

48. 96. Not bad for a smoker.

We need to keep them above 90.

[Wapsie B]

55. That's outstanding for a smoker. Not bad for a non-smoker either.

We've been seeing a lot of smokers lately whose lungs must resemble burned out mufflers. Needless to say their SaO2 levels ain't anywhere near normal, even with supplemental O2.

[jpgray]

32. My date is out of town

:cry:

[WindRavenX]

34. No...but might as well not have one to begin with

He's 3,000 miles away in Maine, and I'm stuck in lame ass Eugene, Oregon :eyes:

[liberalhistorian]

37. Wow, that is

quite a distance! Any plans to get together soon? Long distance relationships can be so hard at times.

[WindRavenX]

38. Yeah, I go back to Boston Jan. 15th

I'm just back in OR for my semester break :)
I miss the guy though...he's my first die-hard liberal relationship so we spend *hours* just talking about how much we hate *.
Ahhhh good times.

[shanti]

42. don't have one, don't want one

new year's eve is for the birds. according to my sons, i'm too old to be partying anyway :shrug: i'm 49 :eyes:

[tyedyeto]

44. Not dateless but.........

will be at work.

Is there a difference???

[qnr]

49. December 31st. Sorry... but I did manage to wait all day before

saying it.

[NightTrain]

50. I plan to stay home New Year's Eve...

...especially since the weather people say that Connecticut might get freezing rain that night.

[CitySky]

51. The One Time I Ever Had a Date on New Year's Eve

... he PROPOSED, and I was *NOT* ready for that and had to tell him so. Futher: he had informed EVERYONE in his personal life that he would be showing up at events later that night and the next day with his new fiancee. Ugh. Talk about a mess.

NYE was always a big bummer for me before then -- all of that anxiety, expectation, and hype. After the nightmare proposal incident, I finally learned my lesson and started my own NYE tradition the following year: I go to bed early! mmm, a good night's sleep -- what a great way to start the new year. :)

This year: new "special friend" works night shift in a hospital; had to agree to take one of the holidays. He said he always works NYE because it's HIS least favorite holiday too... :loveya: Hooray for me; I'll get my good night's sleep guilt-free!

[personman]

53. I have no date

but I think there is a K-1 (kickboxing) event on pay per view. So maybe I'll just watch a few steroid loaded monsters punch and kick eachother into a bloody pulp.

I dont drink or smoke or anything so I'm boring on party nights, plus I think my freakishly large penis is intimidating to most women...
*winks at the ladies and pretends he's not a loser* hey baby...

Can't imagine why I don't have a date...

[WMliberal]

54. still workin on it.

Two possibilities...

[liberalhistorian]

56. Well, be sure and let us

know which of the "possibilities" happens and how it went! Inquiring minds want to know, and we're all shameless voyeurs here! :evilgrin:
