I still have calendars from when I was a widdle kid. They have the neat paintings of what people thought Tolkien’s stories looked like before the movies came along.
Um, Arlo, my perpetual calendar which covers thru 2036 doesn’t show a repeat for 2018. There must be a leap year in there throwing that off since it does show 2030 to be a repeat of 2019.
I keep my old calendars. Not to re-use, as I write all over them when bills are due and what we did, but to look back every now and then at what happened. Sometimes it is nice to take a trip down memory lane.
I keep my old calendars for the pictures. Some are in my ‘try to copy for drawing/painting practice’ pile, some are in my ‘decorate lamp shades, vases, etc’ pile, and some are in my ’don’t get this messed up because it’s collectible/valuable’ pile. Currently have 3 lamp shades waiting repair/decoration. How does a steampunk base with a bird-of-prey shade sound? Seriously, it’s on my list.

Hint: Google calendar. And it constantly updates your important birthdays, anniversaries and assundaries.

I recycle calendars. Why waste them?

Conspicuous consumption: a new calendar EVERY year!

Save it. You might have your referral to a specialist approved and confirmed by then.

My 2018 calendar went into the trash at 12:01 AM, January 1, 2019. Good riddance.

Welcome to Geezerdom, Arlo!

Dear Arlo and Janis: I doubt that I will be here in 11 years, either.

Considering the “iffness” of whether we’ll be here ‘then’ much less next week..

To be perfectly honest, 2018 is NOT a year I want to repeat.

In ll years they will be dead, or have forgotten their names.

If Arlo likes to reuse his calendars does that mean that he likes to live in the past?

Save it! You might need to shamelessly lie your way through a Supreme Court nomination hearing.

Only because 2018 and 2029 are not Leap Years.

Calendars are first drafts of journals.
