Calendars - what are they good for?!1 -

[UTUSN]

In my long gone yoote, the early working years 20s-30s, businesses I patronized gave courtesy calendars to customers. Nice touch.

Later years I need two - a wall one in the loo (for the morning shaving mirror) and a desk booklet one for medical appointments and daily diabetes testing, plus a footnote deal for monumental events from past years.

For the monthly loo wall, I like impressive historical architecture pics, variable monthly.

Recent years have had more trouble finding things to live with for the whole year.

For the booklets, big brand outlets are ridiculous $10+ and sky's the limit at the bookstores. But the Dollar ones are $1. One Dollar type has'em and other two don't, gotta search'em.

This year the selections for wall have been rough. I don't want Puppies, Kittehs, National Wonders, etc., same-O daily. I want monthly variety.

Found an internet outlet. Even topics like for gifting varieties of relatives and Fundie neighbors.

1. From my U. of YouTube, just learned Caesar got his calendar from Egypt.

Had always heard how Caesar fixed the calendar for us, well he got it in the diddle time with Cleo. He was inspired in his diddling.

Egypt , *one* source (of several) of all things Monotheism, virgin births, half-deity/half-mortal, and resurrection.

(Have kept calendar for many years, beginning in yoote.)

4. As a supporter of St Judes, I get a calendar every year. Not an oversimplification one

But it’s a perfect size to put by my checkbook. Every year I transfer bdays, anniversaries n important contact numbers so it’s all together. I’d be lost w/o it. My iPhone has a calendar n I know it’s old school but it’s real handy n works for me.

5. AWww, so sweet. I'm lapsed but will have my soft spot forever.

My old sister reminds me how hard they prayed St Jude while I was in Vietnam and the day I got home it was his feast day.

7. I love that!

[Corgigal]

6. I buy myself 2 every year,

one for the kitchen, the other for my office area. I like seeing the new pics, and I think it gives my adult kids comfort that mom is still doing mom things.

8. Electronic pics of your loves?

[Corgigal]

9. Oh hell no.

Don’t like them that much. This years, pretty horses and mountains.

Haha.

10. Didn't mean bad by "loves" meant loved-ones.

You have corgis? What's their temper?

[Corgigal]

14. I have a corgi, named Abby.

Two rescues , we call them then Rosie and Leo Show.

All my dogs think they are something, and love to bark to hear their voice. All happy, get barkboxes, and loving life.

Like all our furry friends should be.

Thanks for asking.

11. I got two from my car dealership last year, helps me keep track of what month/day it is!

One was wildlife photos and the other was classic cars. But when I was there a month ago, there were none on offer.

[UTUSN]

12. I'm making BOROWITZ to send you one!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. At this point, I could sure use it!

[UTUSN]

17. Well, of *course* you do! - we're so predictable!

[UTUSN]

20. WWSD - What Would Skittles Do

[Skittles]

21. I have two calendars

a big one on my kitchen wall with a different theme each year - this year was aborigine art, next years is Northern Lights

the little one is a work companion to scribble on when I am too busy to access online calendar

hey, I used to send calendars to Texas soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan - usually Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders

22. Around here...

Banks and the gas company and the hardware stores still give them out.

But have you been to a mall at this time of year? I have to go over the pass to the next county but the mall usually has some calendar vendor in the walkway set up. The last time I went, the vendor had a giant display with more calendar types than I could imagine, and I have a healthy imagination. They had over a hundred wall calendars but they also had several desk and book types.

Maybe browse a mall before xmas or end of the year. Then again, a lot of them go on sale after the 1st.

[UTUSN]

23. Gosh, can't even guess how many years since I've been in a mall!

[2naSalit]

24. I hear you!

I think I can count the number of times I've been to a mall in the past 20 years and it would still be a single digit.
