1 January

is World Day of Peace

A celebration established on the initiative of the French philosopher and humanist Raoul Follereau
by Pope Paul VI
in a letter of December 8, 1967,
addressed not only to the faithful of the Catholic Church,
but to all People of Good Will.

Today Pope Leo XIV noted
that January 1 marks the Church's World Day of Peace
and used the occasion to issue a prayer.

"Let us all pray together for Peace:
first, among nations bloodied by conflict and suffering,
but also within our homes,
in families wounded by violence or pain."

2001. NYE Singles Dance. Middle of frigid winter. Low on fuel, tall boots, short skirt, cardigan not made for warmth.

Got lost which should have been my sign to just go the hell home.

But I persisted.

Found the venue, found the dance floor.

Counting me there were eight singles total. And none touching my decade.

I didn't have the heart to kill the robust party by 1/8 so I stayed. To be polite, I suppose. Or to put off the 60 miles drive home, on an 1/8 of a tank, the fraction of the night.

Found a gas station in the middle of frozen nowhere, had to enlist a stranger for help, because that's safe, and continued on my way, only to be stopped by LE on the inskirts of my hometown, not by one squad car but three. Boxed in. LEO approaches, "Ma'am, have you been drinking tonight?" No, Sir, but considering my night, I probably should have been.

I guess someone called me in for crossing the fog lines. Which I was doing on purpose, to stay awake! Rumble strips.

No worries, Officers, I'm WIDE AWAKE now.

But i think we were all agreed -- I should have stayed home.

[Gemmie]

Of all the strange things that have happened to me over the decades, I have to say NYE isn't one of them. What a boring life I live. lol

 

[303gmf]

At least the state or name of the town. Inquiring minds here

I've spent many nights sleeping in the gutters of Pasadena, waiting for the parade.

There's the title for your book.

There's the title for your book.

Are we sisters?

 

[Megnut]

Are we sisters?

Could be. Because, coincidentally, that's the title of MY book, and I've never even been to Pasadena.

I AM Helen of Pasadena.

 

[charminglane]

I always thought the first line of my book would be:
"I knew she was a hair flipper from the minute she sat down."

 

[Megnut]

I AM Helen of Pasadena.

You are Helen, and I've been waiting on a parade my whole life.

My craziest New Year's Eve was the one where I went out with 2 girlfriends to a hotel NYE party. There was an entrance fee and then it was all you can drink. Well both of them DRANK like it was their job. Thank God I am not a big drinker and kept my senses about me. The married girlfriend was on the dance floor wasted making out with some random dude and then she was at a table, with her head on the table barfing onto the floor. The single one was depressed because the DJ she found super cute was totally into another girl...and was making a fool out of herself. I decided it was time for us to leave.

Problem is I could not corral both of them, so I called my sober husband who knew both of them to come help me somehow get both of them out to the parking lot to get into a car. The single girlfriend wanted to fight me because she was not leaving the DJ with that woman. I told her I was not going to leave her at a hotel blasted where she was vulnerable to predators. That did not go over well and I had to call 911 to get some help while we waited for my husband.

Thankfully, he got there and we got married girlfriend out to the backseat of my car. That is where the cop found me from my 911 call and she thought I called the cops on her and that she was in the back of a cop car going to jail LOL. I called her husband to pick her up...lol. Then we got single girl into the car and got her all the way home and she realized she had forgotten her keys including her house key in her car at the hotel and we had to fu@king drive back to get them.

The next day married girl has a nurse/paramedic something friend come to give her fluids via IV she felt to horrible.

NEVER again!! LOL
