The last day of the year, the last day of the decade. The 20’s kick off tomorrow and, surely, 2020 will be better than 2019 and the twenties will be better than the tweens/teens.
Happy New Year, everyone.

I for one, am looking forward to not having to come up with silly circumlocutions to describe what decade we’re in. Welcome to the ’20s everyone.Report
Do the t(w)eens have a nickname yet?
Should we get started on a nickname for the 20s? “The Roaring ’20s!”
Edit: Nevermind. There was a reason I was able to come up with that one so quickly.Report
You mean the Venti’s? Maybe Venti Grande? Or are we going with double-deuce?Report
Lets us hope we get something as beautiful as art deco and avoid something as horrific as the world wars.Report
You do know that both those things are from the teens?Report
Or the thirties in the case of WWII but the roaring 20’s were perched right in the middle of them. Still, a sound point.Report
Yeah, the 20s were pretty good for their era, it was the decades either side that sucked hard.Report
If you lived in a city of some size. Rural America, still 49% of the population, suffered badly through most of the 20s.Report
Wine: Procured.
Extra bottles of water: Handy.
Hamburger Helper: Made.
Extra bag of chips that I got from Chipotle when I went there yesterday: Remembered.
Happy New Year, everybody.Report
Yep, the wife is making chicken thighs in wine sauce with wild mushroom, I have multiple semi-local beers, she has had a gummi. In other words, bed by 9:30.
Happy New Year!Report
I spent an inordinate amount of time on this website in 2019…and enjoyed every second of it. Thank you all for a fulfilling year, thank you for reading, thank you for those that supported, and if you didn’t like my contributions, well…there is always next year, will try harder. Hope all of you and yours are blessed and happy in the new year.Report
