Now 20 years later, is there any panic about anything? of course there is, but it doesn't require having a lumpy mattress.

Now I have read to write out the whole year 2020 so no one can add different years behind it - like 20 and add 19 = 2019. A safety thing - but I have no idea why.

The ball still fell in New York and I don't think anyone lost TV power to view it! 2000 was a sad year for us as Jack's Mom passed that year in February. Things were never the same and then his Dad passed almost a year to the date after her. So no matter the way of the world, things can change or alter your life every minute of the day or year. So enjoy your time and not worry too much about the small stuff!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-1761173871739069002020-01-05T13:33:33.219-05:002020-01-05T13:33:33.219-05:00Interesting point of view, from the IBM side of th...Interesting point of view, from the IBM side of things. I don't recall being overly concerned at the time … just made sure my car's tank was full. Rather, feeling a bit miffed because the man I was dating -- a (cruise) ship's officer -- had to be on the bridge that night.<br /><br />Have you seen on Facebook, people are being cautioned not to abbreviate the date on their checks or legal documents. For instance, 1/5/20 could be altered to read 1/5/2017. Who thinks of these things?!

I remember all the hype about Y2K. We have a 5 gal. bucket with a Y2K logo on the side of it......designed by my lil sis who worked for a graphic design co. at the time. Once again, the good Lord did not let the world collapse because of the coming of a new year. lol<br />love n' hugs from up north where we're easing into another year with fair weather waiting for the next snow coming our way.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-56732025555513071212020-01-05T08:59:22.380-05:002020-01-05T08:59:22.380-05:00I remember the Y2K.

I saved the last News Paper of 1999 and the first of 2000. <br />Hope you can find a better internet outlet. Your post are too good not to read each day.<br /><br />From Gtown<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-42005537118787805032020-01-05T08:43:42.261-05:002020-01-05T08:43:42.261-05:00Funny about the big hype of 2000 but for months th...Funny about the big hype of 2000 but for months that was all the news and then relatively nothing came of it. Funny again how we get into dithers about things we sometimes have no control over. It truly is amazing how much technology keeps changing, but then at the same time how there can be places with little or no Internet service in major towns. What's up with that?<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
