***Well, Friday Is The End Of The World. Shall We All Meet On YT & See It Out?***
 

Just saw an update from CBS News on Twitter reminding everyone that the Mayans say this Friday is the end of the world!!! I say we all meet here on YorkieTalk to show those Mayans that Yorkie owners know better and will post ourselves through their so-called "end" telling Yorkie tales and looking at pictures of our babies?

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! :eek::D:eek::D

lol.... it does creep me out a bit to be honest!! I will check it from time to time to see if everyone is ok.

It is also Yule, longest day of the year. Marks the death and the rebirth of the Sun God. also marks the vanquishing of the Holly King, the god of the Waning Year, by the Oak King, the God of the Waxing Year.

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

See ya Friday. Lol

I'm in! Lets do it! I'm not so sure the end will be here. :D but DH told me to hold off on our 4 wheeler payment which is due Dec 22! :sidesplt::sidesplt:

Well, the 20th is me and my husband's 31st anniversary so we're getting it in just in time!

Seriously though, only God knows the time and the way the world will end so I plan to carry out my business as usual with no worries. It will be interesting to wake up on the 22nd though and see what excuses are made :rolleyes:

So, yah...I'll probably be on YT too :)

P.S. Maybe we should all open our presents early too ;)

That is my belief as well! I'm sure the excuses will be something else!

When we were in Baliz this year our cave tubing guides were Mayan so we asked then their beliefs on the calendar and the end coming, all of them laughed and said how they like to make fun of the crazy Americans because the calendar ends there due to they had been working on it for long they just got bored and stopped lol

Haha! That's funny! I've always loved this cartoon:

Well, I plan to have some snacks and a good movie to watch all the while posting all I can! Not sure my fingers can get in 40 or 50 posts but maybe I can.

I tried watching a couple of the specials on the Mayans and was so creeped out by the bloody rituals and things I couldn't see them through the program. Yikes! Times of old were tough! We think these are bad times to live in but we live in heaven on earth compared to those folks! No wonder they wanted the world to be over - just surprised they didn't try to call an end sooner!!! Well, eventually their "world" did end but nobody seems to agree how.

But Mayans aside, there are all those Doomsday Preppers who have MRE's, weapons, underground bunkers with special air filters and all kinds of things so they will survive the ELE-level asteroid hit or volcanic eruption so big it could cause a nuclear winter for a year or two, no sun, no vegetation, etc. or whatever it is they think is going to happen. I'm thinking if something that bad happens, who wants to survive in that kind of world anyway!

Our Lord alone knows the date and it will be when NO one expects so we know for sure it won't be this Friday, so see you all here and we'll see how big of a gang we can get posting and strain those YT servers! :D

So are you starting a thread Friday?? :D. Got to get you those 40 or 50 posts!

Haha. Maybe so! I hadn't even thought of that but maybe I can. We can count down the hours or something while talking Yorkie talk. Somehow I just have to get my 50 in this year - better still to post right through til 12-22-2012 to show those Mayans and doomsdayers a thing or two about those of us who made it through Y2K and beyond! I just thought joining one year and getting to 10k posts by the next would be something I would never do but now that I have gotten so close, got to try and see if I can't do it. What if I get to 9,999 and fall asleep or something????????????????????

:eek: You better have someone on sleep watch!

Haha. If I'm close enough to 10,000, I'll have to set the clock to alarm about 11:00 p.m. just in case so I can wake up and post for a straight hour if I want to get them all in by the time the clock roles to 12-22-12!

Games will get your post count up quickly! :D
