Since I doubt that, after dinner and around midnight I'll have even a few minutes left, I want to wish now, to all of you, fellow SHPers...

... A happy, great, enthralling 2009!

Have a safe and healthy new year everyone!

Although it doesn't sound like its going to start off that great with the baggage, but I certainly hope it ends up better than 2008 did!

Happy New Year to all!

A happy and serene 2009 to everyone.

Happy 2008 + 1!

Happy 7D9, 3731, 11111011001, or MMIX!

Hmm. New Years' Eve was very peaceful here in Australia. I didn't really feel like going out, particularly as I can see the fireworks from the back window of my apartment. So I just stayed home and invited some friends over for a nice relaxed dinner, after which we yakked and drank and watched the spectacular stage version of War of the Worlds 'til the firework show came on. We watched that for a few minutes before returning to our movie, after which we all said our goodbyes. Yes, boring, I know. ;P

So how was your NYE?

We watched the ball drop on TV then listened and watched the loud fireworks outside. Great cheap entertainment.

Fireworks are cheap? *shrug*

Here in Australia, my home town of Melbourne spent $2.34 million on the fireworks display; Sydney outspent us, going to $2.41 million. Yet the world is supposedly suffering one of its direst financial crises since 1929. *shrug* Go figure...

We didn't buy them. We simply watched out our window... where almost every neighbor was cracking them.

Ah, ok. I've never bought fireworks, so I'm not sure how expensive fireworks are individually or for one household. Glad you had fun.

Happy new year!

Hello everyone!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all !!!

If you're searching for fuel, believe me, you have come in the right place!

Depending if they're the little spinny-on-the-ground type, they're relatively cheap but if you go for the gusto, they can get pretty pricey.

When I was little, we'd drive up to the mountain and watch the fireworks below throughout the town. Very nice evenings.

We have to sneak into Mexico (which is no longer a safe city to sneak into, if you have heard) to get fireworks, as they are illegal in (most areas of) California.
