Party time again!

wiseheartHi folks! *waves*
Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.
So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!
You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.
Cheers!
Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

From:Congratulations, to everyone!
Date: 2011-10-07 08:49 pm (UTC)We'll have to aim for first-grade comments from now on. We still have two days to reach Page 7 - it will be hard, but doable, I guess... plus, if we produce too high counts this year, how are we going to beat that in the next one? *g*

Lesson time!
Date: 2011-10-08 12:26 am (UTC)(First grade in the US used to be the first year of full-day school, while kindergarten was only a half-day, either morning or afternoon. Nowadays, K is often all-day: both parents work, lots more that kids have to learn and so on.
