On this last day of the year, I had a look wayyyy back at the beginning of this thread; which was naturally started on January 1, 2013. I noticed (and recalled) this suggestion: > [@Le\_Ministre\_de\_l\_au-dela](#): > > As I said on the last thread, I’d never thought of getting someone else to start it… > > Here’s a proposal - how be for 2014, we make the person with the most posts in this thread start it? There weren’t really any responses to the question, so I though I’d bring it forward. I like the idea. It looks like **Cat Whisperer** has the most posts as of the time I’m writing this (468 posts); so, folks, should we let **Cat** take us into 2014? ---

Everyone to the east of Calgary will have to wait until it’s 2014 in Alberta. Can’t have 2013 on an exclusively 2014 thread, thereby destroying the space-time continuum. ---

I started this one at 10:30 Toronto time, which was midnight in St. John’s, NL. That way, it was 2013 in Canada… ---

The time and date on that post says 12-31-2012, 09:29 PM on my computer. I’ll bet we’re in a timeline other than the one we were in before that post! Maybe the 2014 thread should wait until the new year Mountain Time. ---

I don’t think we need to worry about this. I am already destroying the space-time continuum by studying programming in French. 🙂 ---

Well, screw the space-time continuum. There are more important things to send shivers up my spine: [**Winnipeg colder than Mars**](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-deep-freeze-as-cold-as-uninhabited-planet-1.2479967). Not a record-breaker, though. ---

**Cat** hasn’t been around since about 2 pm this afternoon, so she may not have seen the brief discussion up-thread. ---

I’m back! We went out for wings and beer, and then I drove my completely-loaded husband home through the driving snow. Went out, had beers, had wings, had poutine, had nachos, had dessert, and home and in my jammies by 10:00. I think this could be our new New Year’s Eve tradition. 😃 Now I’m going to go start a new thread for the new year. ETA: I didn’t have beers. I had club sodas. Just to clear up any DUI implications. ---
