February is longer by 1 letter, and September by 2. Have run out of fingers and toes to count anymore. JS.

You celebrate every four years, and take pot luck with the other three.

Re: Anyone doing Dry January?
At the moment it looks like I am, but not by choice. Over the weekend picked up that super bug going around. Spent 3.5 hours in the ER New Years night being checked over. I suffer from COPD and this sucker hits the lungs pretty bad, by the time I walked into the ER I was just about on my knees. An awful feeling, thought I was a goner....After an ekg and a serious round of puffers I was released with 7 days worth of anti biotics. Not sure how long it's going to take to clear up but i know alcohol is the last thing on my mind.... Anyway the wife won't be happy if I reach for the Christmas booze presents. regards Stan
