It's 2024, I'll be another year older (YIKES!!!). I still have so many unanswered questions!!!! I haven’t found out who let the dogs out? Where’s the beef? How to get to Sesame Street? Why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps? Why do all flavors of Fruit Loops taste exactly the same? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Why are eggs packaged in a flimsy carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails? What does the fox say? Why is “abbreviated” such a long word? Why is there a D in ‘fridge’ but not in refrigerator? Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, yet dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? Why do you have to “put your two cents in”, but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts”? Where’s that extra penny going? Why does the alphabet song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Why did you just try to sing those two previous songs? Just what exactly is Victoria’s secret? Where is Waldo? Can you hear me now? Do you really think I am this witty?? I actually got this from a friend of a friend, who stole it from her brother’s girlfriend’s uncle’s cousin who lived next door to an old classmate’s mailman. Happy New Year!
Some NY ponderings

Great questions for the New Year. However, do you really want to solve them? Having a bit of mystery in your life is a good thing. Sorry I missed your post, since I was cruising. Not sorry we were cruising. I am now over my NY (new years) cold and will ponder your questions.
I'd love to share the answers to those questions with you, as I know all of them. Unfortunately, they're only made available to those willing to look deep within themselves, and seek cosmic guidance. I'm not permitted to share my answers, for it would upset the balance of the universe.
I'm still struggling with two of life's eternal questions though. The first is: "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?". Best I can figure is the answer is within the question, i.e., Where in the world is Carmen? San Diego!
Second, are the Mario Brothers full names Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?

Please remember, some of us live in New York, and feel misled by the title of this post. Hence, I will be filing a $5 billion lawsuit much like the woman suing Hershey Chocolates for misleading advertising on their Peanut Butter Pumpkin candy.
‘Kindly abbreviate New Years with NYE or NYD.
btw, it takes 3 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop. According to the owl in the commercial.
As an ex-NYer meself (I grew up in El Bronx literally in the shadow of the old Yankee Stadium) I can understand why NYers could be easily confused....about almost anything...as for the woman suing Hersheys...I'm in awe, and jealous.....as for the owl, didn't find out until much later that it was actually a bird...thought it was something you smoked....

I believe I know what happened to Waldo
Yes, nice thoughts that I will NOT even attempt to answer. I had to read this twice, and look at your heading three times before I finally got it.
NY = New Year, As a person (somewhat lacking in the mental capacity department) I read New York twice trying to figure out what your amusing thoughts had to do with New York State. THEN -- I got a sudden brain burst that elevated my intellect to your lofty levels. Sadly, once the burst dissipated, I returned to my normal subterranean levels. Happy NY from NYS.
Starting the new year with too much time on yer hands already eh??? welllll...you're in good company...if you get some answers to life's imponderables, let me in on it.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
