So it's time to get a new calendar (assuming you haven't already, or that you haven't gotten one or two or three for Christmas.)

What kind of calendar will you have?

õ
Yes, of course I'm getting a wolf calendar!

USAA normally sends me a calendar......I wonder where it is? Oh well, I might have an excuse to buy a girly one for my office.

New calendar? I will be re-using my 1980 Doctor Strange calendar, because all the dates match up and some of the pictures look cool:

I'm pretty sure my PDA has a calender on it.

Between the free calendars (with cool recipies) that all the grocery stores give out here, plus other free caleandars that other places give to me each year I don't think I have needed to actually pay for a paper calendar since the early 90's.

We used to get free calenders from a local funeral home. Whee.

I get a free calendar from my Representative, every year.


Currently, I do have a White Sox calendar.

I like to have a nice calendar on the wall. In our house they usually have nature or astronomical themes. Last year it was birds. This year I got a great astronomy one for the wall and a Sierra Club engagement calendar with an awesome photo for each week of the year. The photos of plants, animals and scenery are world class gorgeous and are all from US parks.

I have the WWF one for Wild Cats. I'm already using January because it has a gorgeous picture of a snow leopard.

I also have half a dozen more that have been sent to me that I'll probably recycle most of.

And yes, I still use paper. I like to just glance over rather than messing with Outlook or something on my computer.

The wifey got me an NBC's Office desk calander for Christmas, thereby making this the best Christmas ever.

My roommate brought home a Simpsons calendar and a college life calendar, one of which can go in the living room.

I'm trying to interpret that in a non-gay way.

Should I just give up?

My Aunt sends us a Murphy's Law calendar every year with all the family birthdays and anniversaries.

I used to love the old Tolkien calendars with art by John Howe.

Mike Holmes is a contractor/renovator and he has a show up here that he goes in and fixes houses that have been screwed over by disreputable contractors. He shows you how they screwed up and how he's going to "Make it Right".

For each day, it just says "One day closer..."?

In a moment of homesickness, I picked up a Portland wall calendar yesterday.

I also always get the New Yorker page-a-day cartoon calendar.

I got my bosses at work their yearly Rottweiler calendar.

The local pizza place gives out calendars so I got one from them for home.

UPS gives calendars to their customers so the driver gave me one that I use in the warehouse.

I got a National Baseball Hall of Fame Cooperstown Collection Calendar. I got a Marvel Comics Heroes one for my boy, I had to exchange a Star Wars one because my wife doesn't want our kid to look at Carrie Fisher in her bikini costume. My wife got a Monet calendar for her office and a Thomas Kinkade calendar for the kitchen.

You won't ever be taking the kid to the beach, then?

That's a shame. Kids love the beach.

He's only 3 and my wife feels he shouldn't have anything like that in his room for a month, just yet.

Actually, the beaches aren't full of females in bikinis, the ones around here aren't anyway.

My opinion as a parent is he's probably too young for it to matter one way or another. But he's not my kid.

Well, that sucks.

I got a Pacific Northwest one. Collin has one of classic motorcycles. At work I'll put up a cat one in the public area and a really nice nature one in the staff room.

To hell with buying one. I made my own using MS Outlook and visited this site (http://www.timeanddate.com/) for holiday listings :p

Morna and I got a Perogy Cat calendar yesterday from a friend of ours who has been drawing a cartoon a day for several years. Perogy Cat is one of the main characters in his cartoons which are collected as the Magic Tooth Dailies.

The artist recently travelled to Europe and took pictures of a Perogy Cat plushy in front of such famous landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, Abbey Road, The Pantheon and the Berlin Wall.

I just got a the office calendar from my nephew. He knows my sense of humore remarkably well. This is the "Inspirational (http://www.calendars.com/Product.asp?PID=1&MGID=10857&IID=44415&gAffInfo=_standard)" version, aping successories with quotes from a different character every month. May is Dedication. "Yeah, I'm not a temp anymore. Which means at my ten-year high-school reunion, it will not say, 'Ryan Howard is a temp.' It will say, 'Ryan Howard is a junior sales associate at a midrange paper supply firm.'

That'll show 'em."



Totally awesome.

My grandmother buys us very business like calendars for three year periods. No pictures, it's all business.

She recently gave me a 2008-2010 calendar and she gave everyone else in the family the same thing including one for herself. The funny part is that she is 103 years old...

...does she really need a three year calendar?

Doesn't hurt to be optimistic.


One of my belated Xmas gifts from an aunt yesterday was a Simpsons At The Movies calendar!

I have a JupiterImages calendar. Stupid thing is only 6 inches wide so it's hard to read from a distance. Looks like I'll have to rely on the crappily designed corporate calendar...
