Eva3340, with thanks, and in the hope that she moves her sign... :)

There's no more popular birthday on here than Jan. 1! :) The new calendar isn't up yet, but last year I think there were something like 600 members who reported their birthday on this day of the year. So here's to all of those celebrating lyla birthdays today, real and imaginary! :)

Sending best wishes to all my friends here, for a rewarding, healthy, prosperous New Year! To pleasure, success, and friendship in 2016!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, loneskater!

A warm welcome to you, Melly! Have fun here.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

I agree with this too, and it's well said. But making resolutions is like setting benchmarks, picking out areas where that daily effort should be specially directed.

Three areas: character, carrying on :), and career. 1. Character: The operative word for 2016 is friendship. I want to be a better friend, more attentive and caring. I want to repair any friendships that my negligence has damaged or broken. This is my serious resolution. 2. Carrying-on: lots more eating out in my favourite places, and finding new favourite places to eat out in. :) 3. Career: I want to learn Russian, and travel to Eastern Europe, for work, and also for fun. Maybe meet some Eastern Europeans, and work on resolutions 1 and 2 as well!

After a hard night's work...

A Christmas present :)

A very Merry Christmas to all!
