New Years Eve Party Here!!

[wendy1214]

Welcome to HCWT first annual New Years Eve Party!!!

Each 1/2 hour (or when i remember to post lol) I will post a new question for you all to answer! Have fun- and If I am late, please feel free to post your own question!!

4 hours to go til Midnight here on the East coast!!

Question one- When was your most memorable New Years Eve, and why??

[KellyMarie]

Oh Lordy...1983.........went to jail.......most memorable ever!

[wendy1214]

ok- we need the story to THAT one!!!

[KellyMarie]

I was 18, was dating my now hubby....I was wasted, he wasn't, he was driving.......we were actually on our way home and we hit an icy spot and swerved and got pulled over........I had a huge glass of bourbon in my hand....I guess I was so drunk that when we left the party we were at I took it with me...well hubby was over 21 and we went to jail, me for minor in possession and he for contributing to a minor...they let us out after a few hours, but it's definitely the one New Year's I will always remember.

[wendy1214]

wow- you were lucky they let you out! So, Kelly does have a naughty streak in her!!!!

I guess my story was New years at a friends house when Dh and I were just married. We were drinking (of course) and I had a bit too much. Did I also mention we had spaghetti for dinner. On our way home I told hubby to pull over. he did, opened the door for me and well, I got sick.....only I didn't lean out the door! It was nasty. He got me home and stuck me on the shower while he went to clean out the car. I must have been in the shower forever- every time I peaked out, he was there, giving me the EYES. I was afraid to some out! lol (we now refer to them as the shower eyes! )

[KellyMarie]

:lol: Once, I believe it was my 21st birthday, I threw up in my BIL Mike's boots...while he was wearing them :rolling: That one is a very long story :rolling:

[wendy1214]

lol!!

[KellyMarie]

I had really, really long hair and we were in his driveway sitting in the car....well I was in the car because I don't think I could get out or hubby wouldn't let me out :lol: Anyway, hubby told his baby brother..."go open the door for her she don't look too good" and when he opened it I started to get sick and he leaned in to pull my hair back (such a good BIL) and I puked right down his boots :rolling:

[stlcouponwizard]

I don't remember most but have been reminded of all by my wife, She keeps on a very short lease these days.

[wendy1214]

yuck! The stories I could tell from when I was in college!!

[wendy1214]

ok- 9 pm, 3 hours til the ball drops-

Question number two! Have you ever kissed a stranger on New Years Eve just to get your New Years Kiss??

[KellyMarie]

I drank too much when we went out back in those days....hubby and I were weekend warriors, we were wild, young and wow stupid and irresponsible...I am really surprised we are even alive

[KellyMarie]

ok- 9 pm, 3 hours til the ball drops-

Question number two! Have you ever kissed a stranger on New Years Eve just to get your New Years Kiss??

Just on New Year's? I kiss strangers all the time :rolling:

Ok, I am kidding.....I don't think I have ever done that

[wendy1214]

Kelly- I once went out with friends drinking- I was driving( i know, tsk tsk tsk :tsk:), I almost missed the off ramp, quickly turned off, hit the stones on the edge of the road and spun the car and went down in the ditch. My friend in the back fell off the seat, and all you heard from her was "Booom" I drove the car back up onto the road and we were on our way- surprised no one (or my car) didn't get hurt!

[KellyMarie]

Crazy what we used to do and got home safely huh?

[wendy1214]

yup! Crazy and stupid- thinking we were invincible!

[stlcouponwizard]

Yes, But only the people that were in the building I was in.

[wendy1214]

ooohh- and how many people were in the building Neal??? lol

[KellyMarie]

Yes, inquiring minds want to know!

[stlcouponwizard]

hundreds at least

[wendy1214]

you stud you!!!

[stlcouponwizard]

no, just curious and drunk

[wendy1214]

:rolling:

[KellyMarie]

:lol:

[stlcouponwizard]

What was the strangest Job you ever had?

In 1972 I was hired as a costumed host at 6 Flags STL. I was HR Puffinstuff, Cling & Clang and Rocky Racoon. I meet my wife while working, I was resting in a pile of stuffed Animals in custome in one of the toy stores. When this very good looking young lady approched I took notice (who would have guessed) She reached down to touch me and I moved, She just about wet her self. Two years later when we formally meet we were talking and discovered that she was the young lady I scared that day.

[wendy1214]

ok- 10 pm, 2 hours to go~~

Silly question- after reading some of the responses already- have you ever gotten so drunk you don't remember what happened the night before, or woken up somewhere you shouldn't have??

[KellyMarie]

Neal that is a great story.....I also met my husband a year or so before I "formally" met him...a very long story for another day

Strangest job...hmmmm...I don't know about strange but the worst i ever had was when I was 18 pulling eviseras out of chickens at the processing plant

Wendy...one time, my husband and I went to a bar called the Crazy Horse, I was around 23 or 24...he said I got so drunk I pulled my clothes off while we were driving down the interstate and threw them out the window, he also said I saw a coyote turn into a pig and then a duck in front of our car.....I don't remember ever leaving the bar, his cousin Johnny and I had gone shot for shot for hours and I was apparently pretty wasted.

[wendy1214]

wow! Most all my stories are college ones- went to visit a friend at her college and we were drinking tequila-my first time ever. I woke up in the guys room on the floor with my friend no where in site! Nothing had happened, but I had no idea where I was at first

[Tara]

Neal, what a neat story.

[KellyMarie]

:rolling: Wendy, last year my youngest went to a concert in Little Rock and got drunk and passed out in the ladies room, next morning he was "famous" he was being talked about all over the radio stations...I could have killed him! H esaid whne he woke up a few girls were laughing at him.

[KarrenOliver]

Wow...lot's of catching up to do!

[wendy1214]

:rolling: too funny!

[KellyMarie]

he is very lucky he didn't go to jail that night, the police checked his id and asked if that was him and he said "no, that's my brother, I'm only 20" They said the only reason they didn't arrest him was because he told them the truth.

[wendy1214]

wow- with a "fake" id and all! He could have gotten charged with all kinds of things!

[stlcouponwizard]

Not a better job in the world, there was no chashing the girls, they came to you and all they wanted was a hug, a picture and they were gone. How sweet

[Allison]

Oh lord! The stories I could tell...I was a little out of control back in the day. I am completely amazed that I am alive today. I remember one night I got so drunk at the bar. I couldn't find my friend anywhere and she was my ride home. A guy offered to let me crash at his place. Before we left I wrote a note and put it on my friend's car (I know I know, she was obviously still there if her car was). I woke up in the morning with absolutely no clue where I was. I was on a couch and there was a guy on the floor. Next thing you know some lady (his mom) came into the room and asked if I wanted coffee. She asked who I was and the guy said "some drunk chick I found along the road". I was so embarrassed!

[KellyMarie]

:rolling: Allison that is great!

[wendy1214]

Allison- one time I was won in a game of darts! I begged the bartender I knew to take me home instead of the "guy who won" Well, I also knew this bartender used to be known for the number of women......... anyway, we are walking home and it suddenly hits me, what am I doing! I wound up getting out of anything, but wow, what you do when you aren't sober!!

[KarrenOliver]

Neal....I would say that was one of the better jobs to have...my first job was working in a donut shop!

[KellyMarie]

I a loving this thread.....wow, I think I prefer being sober on New Year's LMAO...I actually don't drink at all anymore

[KellyMarie]

What's our next question????

[stlcouponwizard]

it never really mattered to me where I woke up at. I was just happy to be wakeing up.

[wendy1214]

OK- 10:30 new question....

How did you and your spouse/significant other meet??

Hubby and I actually met freshman year in college, but were best friends! I wanted to out with him, but was dating someone, and same with him! Anyway, one time a bunch of us were down in the lobby, and I remember thinking one time "I could see myself married to him someday!"
The following year he transferred out. I saw his old girlfriend and asjed about him, she glared at me- found out she thought their was something going on between the 2 of us!
# years later he gets a job interview near the college and looked me up! We talked and exchanged addresses- this was april/may. We wrote a few time, and when I went home for the summer I lost his address. The next fall (my last semester) he came back to find me. He actually found his old girlfriend and asked to help find me!!!
4 months later we were engaged!!
I call it our fairy tale story

[KellyMarie]

awwww...that's a great story Wendy!!! It will take me a bit to write mine out :)

[wendy1214]

that is why the question was late!

** or add on to the story- at one part I found out marty's brother was coming to visit. I thought to myself "oh if marty is this great, maybe I have a shot at his brother" I stopped over to his dorm room when his brother was there, stayed for 5 minutes and made up an excuse to leave. I still have that opinion about his brother! lol

[stlcouponwizard]

I meet my wife at a party in the early 70s, the party was over loaded with bunches of young ladies, I ended up playing some game with three gals and won!!

[wendy1214]

ah- so you won her at a game?? lol

[stlcouponwizard]

no there was three of them and one of me, (oh to be young again)and if you ask me she won me :)

[KarrenOliver]

I met my current dh (most of you know that I was married for 24 years to the jerk of the century who had an affair and just couldn't understand why it should matter?) through friends at a car show. My ex and I had a 34 Ford and we went to a lot of car shows and cruises. I had hardly spoken to my dh, because I wasn't interested, I was married, end of subject. Then about a year or maybe 2 later, I found myself divorced. I remembered him and that he had helped take care of his dad while he had cancer and that was why he wasn't around much. I heard that his dad had passed (through car friends) and went to the funeral to pay my respects. I then called him a few days later to ask how he was doing and he asked me and I told him that I was now divorced and we talked for 2 hours on the phone. My divorce was not final yet, and my mom was very particular about stuff like that even though I was a grown up. She encouraged me to not be seen in public with him til after everything was final and then we started dating openly and got married a year later. Oh and New Years Eve of the year we hooked up, my ex called me on my cell phone and told me he would see me dead before he gave me one dime in our divorce. Had to go to the court house and get a restraining order after that. Everything finally worked out and I am one happy woman!!

[wendy1214]

Glad it all worked out for the good Karren- sometimes we need the bad to show us how much better the good can be!

[KarrenOliver]

Exactly, Wendy.....it has led me to where I am today! So very happy and in love with my man!

[KarrenOliver]

Kelly must be writing a book!

[wendy1214]

God Bless the Broken Road That Led me Straight to you!

OK- last question from me- what do you watch when watching the ball drop???
I watch New Years Rockin Eve, but as much as it hurts to say this, I think it is time for Dick Clark to step down. The poor man, I love him to death, but time to let go.

[stlcouponwizard]

good night Wendy

[courtney]

I am a loyal Dick Clark fan- poor guy, it's tough to watch him, but it wouldn't be the same without him!!!

Just got home from friends' a few minutes ago- going to get pj's on and snuggle with DH on the couch- HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KarrenOliver]

We watch whatever channel hubby is watching....

[KellyMarie]

[wendy1214]

[ChatWithVera]

Here is a New Year's tradition that my daughter's in-laws have done for most all of the years she has been married. They jump into the new year. The older parents, parent's siblings, children, cousins (old enough to be there) have a party (non-alcoholic) and when the clock strikes midnight, they are all standing on chairs and tables holding hands and the jump together into the new year. Now I don't know how it all got started since they were doing this when my daughter married into the family, but I just hope the house has a good foundation. :lol:

[wendy1214]

3 minutes

[wendy1214]

[wendy1214]

[wendy1214]

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a right good willie-waught,,
For auld lang syne.

[Tara]

Happy New Year!

[KellyMarie]
