Hey DU... May your next year be better than your last.

Happy New Year DU.

classic nordic (sweden denmark norway)

[w0nderer]

20. my pleasure

cherokeeprogressive hope you don't mind

do you 'know'/'speak' cherokee (no offence intended)?

if so
what is 'happy new year'
and
'have a good one' / hi/how are ya? (polite daily greeting)

*yes i'm linguistically interested*

[cherokeeprogressive]

24. I don't, and it's only because I'm lazy.

My Maternal Grandfather (May the Great Spirit Rest His Soul) was born on the Cherokee Reservation in Tahlequah, OK. I have his language primer from school. My Mom gave it to me long ago.

3. I live for that. I blame the Irish in me.

Happy New Year!

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. I'm always reminded of what I've been told is an old Irish Toast...

"May you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead."

Oddly enough; I can't count the number of times I've had people misunderstand the good wishes in that toast!

Happy New Year

[w0nderer]

21. lol

it's like tolkiens

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

people not getting the good wishes in that irish toast need to have a bitter less before listening to it

[Marie Marie]

4. And a Happy and Healthy New Year to you too Cherokeeprogressive

And ditto to the rest of my DU family.

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Thank You ;) nt

[Hoyt]

5. Back at you, CherokeeP. DU is a good place even when we disagree.

Well, most of the time.

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. Hoyt... my disagreements with you are NEVER motivated by any kind of dislike.

So we disagree sometimes. I bet we'd laugh together, were we in each other's company. About something anyway. I don't think you're a bad guy at all. Passionate about what you believe is how I'd describe you.

Happy New Year to you Sir.

[Hoyt]

15. I feel the same. Thanks.

[pinboy3niner]

6. May the best you've ever seen, be the worst you'll ever see...

May a mouse never leave your girnal with a tear drop in his e'e. May you stay hale and hearty until you're old enough to dee. May you always be as happy as we wish you all to be.

--Scottish toast given by 'Ducky' (David McCallum) on NCIS

Happy New Year!

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. You never fail to put words up that amuse and entertain. 's what I love about you.

And have you ever wondered how David McCallum has managed to age so gracefully? Would that I could have done that. Sadly, that fork in the road is continents behind me...

Happy New Year to YOU Sir.

7. May 2016 be better for us all.

Happy New Year, cherokeeprogressive and DU!

[cherokeeprogressive]

16. For us all indeed. A lovely sentiment.

Happy New Year.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. And may your next year be better than your last, my dear cherokeeprogressive!

I appreciate your good wishes more than I can adequately express.

Happy New Year!

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. Dearest Peg...

I saw or heard or read somewhere, the following quote and I paraphrase:

"The human mouth isn't capable of making sounds that adequately express my love for you."

Talk about 11 on a scale of 10.

Happy New Year Doll!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Aw, thank you..........

Love you too.

And a very Happy New Year!

[roguevalley]

18. and to you also, cherokeeprogressive.

[pipoman]

19. or 'Make' your next year better than your last?

This is my new years resolution every year and it usually happens.

Make a happy new year!

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. Yes there is that. Endeavor is the word I'd use though...

Reminds me of a commercial I saw years ago. The back of a guy's T-shirt said "Up Yours". Then you got to see the front of his shirt, and it said "Make 7". Loved it. "Make 7-Up Yours" was an advertising campaign.

Happy New Year!

[2naSalit]

26. And the same for you and yours!

[VOX]

27. Thanks and same to you...and all here.

We are indeed inhabiting "interesting times."

All good wishes!
