We are a bunch of crazy Americans! Lol I always say the world can't end we are going to Disney World on the 30th lol

I am trying to convince Ryan we need to do New Years Eve at Disney like we used to every year.

I'll try and be on but I may be too tired from spending my life savings before Friday! lol

[MandiesMom]

Well since it's just another day and I'm here everyday, I'm in.

I think that every culture has that rebirth. And the mayans are no different

Yep, and it also means that if Friday's the shortest day of the year - then on Saturday it'll be SUMMER woooo hoooo!!!

And as we're ahead of you time-wise in the UK, then the world will probably end here before the USA....so I'd just like to say it was wonderful to know you all, and if I don't post....then you'll know it was all true Take care out there! Sally x

Jeanie you can make it to post 10,000

I am pleasantly surprised no one has been going door to door in my neighborhood informing us the world is going to end.

Following the translation of the Hopi version the world will end too...and the new world of informed thought will begin the next morning...maybe they were just mocking the calendar the Mayans passed out...

So what time on the 21st is the world supposedly over. I'd hate to miss it. LoL I'll be here posting!

[sandy simpson]

The bible tells us that no man knows the day or the hour the world will end. The prophesies all point to the downfall of man and the evil that will take place. Sounds like our world today with all the sadness we are experiencing. Rejoice that we have heaven to look forward to and when the day comes we will be with our Savior and Lord.

LOL No time has been set! In fact you can argue if it's the 21st on our side of the world (because that's where the Mayans are in) or if it's the 21st on the Eastern hemisphere...

Either way, it's just the end of their calendar. They have many calendar endings as do so many other cultures, just as Teri mentioned.

My only fear would be the wackos. But I'm pleasantly surprised to have not heard or seen anyone going off the deep end. Remember a few years ago where the pastor (??) was freaking out saying he calculated the end of the world? People gave up their entire life savings, had their pets put to sleep, and sold everything. And then, whoops...no end of the world.

LOL! Hey, let's get a group together and head southwest on the first plane out! We can access YT from the hotel and still post away on Friday.

If I really thought the world were going to end, I would buy myself a 100" flatscreen, dynamic sound system, huge solitaire diamond ring the size of an ice cube with full matching suite, eat nothing but Sundaes, fudge and pizza and buy out Neiman's. Plus, I'll confess, if the world were going to end and it couldn't hurt any more little animals to do it, I'd have a fabulous full-length sable for these last few days. I'd probably sleep in it, too! And first comes my Jaguar classic in all black throughout!

I'm trying for 10,000 posts before the end of the year and, for sure, if the world is going to end, I would want to get them in before that! JK!!!

Someone did post an earlier thread about there being a record-setting day for YT and couldn't we try to beat that and I lost track of what we decided to do. I know this Friday is a bad time with family get-togethers and holiday parties and so forth, but if anyone wants to join me, I'll be here trying to get to 10,000 posts!

Friday 6pm Eastern Time

Wow I didn't know people went to that extreme. I think the Myan's decided that by 2012 we could create our own calendar.
