I'm just looking forward to the news reports of what people do on that day.

Rob, 2 other couples of our acquaintance and I are having a party on *saturday* the 23d. Invites are sent, formatted sort of like a wake announcement. Entertainment is going to be the DVD of Whoops Apocalypse. Menu is still being considered as we have allergies and medical conditions to take into account. Part of it will definitely be fondue - broth and assorted meats, swiss classic cheese for the veggies and starches, no idea what else for dinner nor desserts. Other entertainment is decorate-your-own Mexican Day of the Dead skulls, and gingerbread skeletons.

Over here, one of the major TV stations will air a live "End Of The World Gala" with lots of entertainment. I and Mr Zel are considering dressing up like was it New Year's Eve - hey, if we gotta go, we're gonna go in style

This is so silly. The Mayan calender works like the odometer on an old car. What happens next month is no more the end of the world than the odometer rolling over from 999999.9 to 000000.0 is the end of the car.

According to the Myans we have been born and died several times over without our knowledge. Bit me a worrier addict can't help but worry. Trying to teach myself to chill more and worry less.

There was a cartoon that was on Facebook earlier this year that had a Mayan with a calendar saying "We ran out of room after 2012" and another Mayan saying "That's going to freak someone out someday."

This time round would be about the Seventh time the world has ended, if the Mayan Long Calander ending = the world ending.

Or, you know, like the Calendars we use today.
