Happy New Year (on the East Coast anyway)! May this be a year of happiness and prosperity for us all!

How many times will you miss date a check before you get it right in January?

it used to be a big issue, when we still wrote checks.

i suppose it won’t be all that long before we have to explain to the youth what a checkbook was, much as we now have to explain what a phone booth was.

Happy New Year East Coasters!!!!!  I might not even make it to midnight here on the left coast.  One of my FB friends, a guy, mentioned that he was unsure what to wear for his New Years Eve on the living room couch, LOL!  I am on the computer, in my room, wearing a lovely white and purple robe and I just fixed a second martini.

Happy New Year!

I'll check back once more before going to bed. Too much sleet shoveling

Over the evening, I had an entire "champagne" bottle from Napa valley. But I started around 6 PM

Reply to Syrah in 2:   I still write checks, Syrah, LOL.  I'm 72 now so I figure that it's okay.  I like being old school.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 6: Why not?  I usually wait until after 8:00, our time, before I have a cocktail.

My daughter is 27, and I remember teaching her how to write a check about 10 years ago. These days, I doubt she even writes a check for the rent. It's all Venmo.

i had to order one of those credit card machines for my business. 

We are approaching a time when not being able to accept credit or debit cards will destroy a business.

Reply to Syrah in 10: At least the interest rate is low now.  Back in the day, when our business was young, the interest was very high.  We "carried the paper" for our clients who needed time payments.  

I don't even know if I posted about this here but our last employee (a wonderful guy) decided he was sick of doing plumbing and left on March 1st.  On March 24, my hubby had a stroke.  We ended up just giving up on the business.

Reply to @PBJ3 in 11: sorry to here it ended that way.

i hope you are able to retire at this point.

I am working on an idea that might help me survive until I reach retirement age or become physically unable to work.

I'm glad you are looking into solutions for when you get older, it's a smart thing to do.  We weren't not so smart.  Happy New Year, Syrah!!!

Reply to @PBJ3 in 15: "Weren't not so smart", LMAO.  Most likely, I need to stop with the martinis. OMG

Let’s play a fun game. 

Name something about 2020 that is already good. 

I will start.

Hillary Clinton is still not, and will never be President!
