Just after twelve now, I'm sitting here having a egg on a toast, with ovaltine,
and watching my dog joe, watching me, with a slight drool, (the dog, not me)
How good is that, first thing in 2009, I think it's great. My husband could never
stay up this late, he is a morning person, I am a night person, that's OK.
We had our wine and cheese etc earlier, while watching the hockey game,
OK, I'm off now to send my daughters a happy new year wish.

take care all

How many New Year parties can you have in a year?

I had my first on March 21. Now this one is my second. When I was in China, I would then have the Chinese New Year as a third.

I'm all New-yeared out:smile:

Machjo. IPA /'matSjO/ (or as close as I can get it with the basic 26 letters of the alphabet).

Or /'matshyo/ as an approximate phonetic spelling in English.

If you pronounce Said as /'sai:d/ it sounds almost like /sayid/, which means a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad.

I was pronouncing your user ID as though it was Spanish, Mach'ho.

'Ma' is the first syllable of my first name. and 'chjo' is a diminutive suffix, like changing Mattew to Mat for example, or Catherine to Cathy, etc.

Happy New Year, everyone!
When we congratulate each other in Russia, we say something like - "New Year, New happiness!" So I wish everyone heaps of new happiness in the New Year, and all the happiness that's been left over from the last year! :smile:
