Okay so what is everyone doing for New Years Eve??
Getting Hammered drunk?
Hanging with the fam and going to bed at 11:00
Staying up untill 12:00 to bang post and pans?
Playing games all night and riding the caffiene high?
Shooting off illegal fireworks in the neighborhood?
Lets hear it!
I am going to be hanging with the fam and playing games this year! Sounds like fun! NOT!

I'm going to the Provo/Orem area to do some much needed shopping, then returning home to have a few drinks and spend the evening with the family. I'm saving the fun stuff for the weekend. :haha: Hoping to get outdoors in the snow to live it up for the new year.

Well, it sounds like my new years won't be as good as Devo Stevo's... but it should be pleasant. I plan on playing my last game of Killer Bunnies for the year, and my first game of 2009 with the Fam. And eating waffles :)

MMMMMM Waffles, and rabbit hunting...Perfect!
As any other news photographers on the site will tell you, work will, as usual, bogart my New Year's Eve. This is what will be doing the majority of the damage...

If you want to come out to our pond and shoot fireworks, they aren't illegal here. You might want to start driving now, though, because, well, we are in Oklahoma.

I may or may not be doing some of the following... :ne_nau: :naughty:
Since I am new in my neighborhood maybe I should raise some hell. :lol8:

We've never been big party folks for New Years Eve. Our tradition is watching "Hudsucker Proxy" on DVD, a Coen brothers film, clean, family friendly and hilarious (if you like their brand of humor) and centered around New Years Eve. I highly recommend it- "you know, for kids!".

Spending it with a friend on the Quechon reservation near Yuma.
Should be interesting. She says no pictures allowed.

On a flight Vegas to London. :sleeping:
Even though it's not my birthday it's still none of your business... :naughty:
Really, looks like we're going to spend New Years eve driving and we'll camp somewhere near Goblin Valley. There's some exploring to do there on the 1st then we'll head down to hook up with the freeze fest the evening of the first. Of course that all could change; we're playing it fast and light again.

Undecided here. :ne_nau: At this point, looks as if we may hang at the house. I'd like to go board on Thursday so I don't want to be all hungover.

My wife and I will be driving drunks home. Operation Red Nose (http://www.operationnezrouge.com/en/). Phone the number, we come and get you, and drive you home in your own car. Wake up in the morning, you're safe and the car is in the driveway. Way beats a taxi. And all by donation. (Donations go to local sport organizations - in our case, the local gymnastics club, where both our kids go.)
It's a hoot, hanging out with the drunks, but staying sober and providing a service. I've done it the last couple of years, though not on New Years Eve yet - just weekend nights around Christmas.
The kids will be at the gymnastics club, staying the night (we'll get home around 4:00, and have to pick them up at 9:00. yawn)

I think I am spending the evening with a couple of friends. I don't really feel like going out to a bar or a club. I am all partied out after New York.

Looks like my plans have been foiled again. The wife and 2 of my 3 kids woke up feeling sick. Looks like I'm having a great time this year and none of this... :naughty:

I think this is great! Maybe I should look into starting something like that in our little valley since our ONE cab service SUCKS.
Only thing is, I'd supply the barf bags b/c I wouldn't want anyone puking in my car. :lol8:
bang pots and pans at midnight with the family. Then snowshoeing on Thursday.

I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill all of these requests for the midnight kiss. I cannot be in 7 places at the same time.
No offense to anybody, I just have to go with the woman that is most desperate.
Again, I'm sorry.

Looks like I'm the winner. See my previous posts in this thread. :haha:

Ah, but that's the best part - you drive them in their own car. We'll drive to the pickup point in our car, I get out and drive the drunks home in their car. My wife follows me in ours (with no passengers). At the destination, I get out and back in our car.
It only works if the boozer took their car to the party/bar. They have to plan ahead to either use the service, or else see the signs at the bar (we drop off table signs and cards) and decide to have a few more than they planned to. A lot of people plan to use it in advance.
By the way, I've never had anyone throw up in the car yet... :five:
How does that work with insurance. Here if the drunk person didn't have insurance on their car and a cop pulled you over the driver of the car(you) would get a driving without insurance ticket and both the driver and owner of the car would be required to have SR22 for 3 years. Very heavy fines for driving without insurance $400 +.
My plans changed about 5 times in 2 days now.
At this point, I am taking my kid to my parents, going out to a fine restaurant with my better half and then heading home to finish "Grey's Anatomy" series before midnight. We have been watching the series like two addicts for the last month all 5 seasons. That way we can start 2009 "Grey's Anatomy" free.... on to Private Practice :haha:
Happy New Year everyone! :2thumbs: I wish you all don't lose as much money in 2009 as you all did in 2008 :lol8:

Here we have a province-wide socialized auto insurance company (Insurance Corporation of BC - ICBC) that covers everyone for basic insurance - third party liability. You can get additional insurance (collision, comprehensive, etc) through private carriers or ICBC. Kind of a complicated situation.
BUT - the insurance company, ICBC, is a sponsor of the program. We are covered for everything by ICBC. If we have an accident in the client's car, it is fully covered by ICBC, no matter the level of insurance that the client holds, and with no deductible payable. Of course, they do thorough background checks (for driving and criminal offenses) on all volunteers.
We the volunteers are also given a lot of discretion. If we don't feel safe, either with the people involved, or with the vehicle we have to drive, we are encouraged to decline the trip. Each team has a cell phone issued by dispatch (another sponsor is a cell carrier, Telus), and they have our numbers, we have theirs. There's also 911, of course.
And at the end of the day, one of the sponsors (Shell) gives us a gift cert. for gas. The only thing we are giving up is our time.
wow that works out quite nicely then.

Turns out I am going to a party at 6 p.m. so I'm not sure if I will be up to welcome the new year, heh :haha: It all depends how my friends' daughter is behaving, if she gets too cranky we will head to their home to continue, if not, we will party on in the larger crowd. Boy, I would so much love to have someone to drive my drunk ass back home tonight. :ne_nau:
