I was thinking the same about Cathy and Dilbert, Rachel!

I only mentioned three. I'll add Baby Blues, which I'm fond of.

In November 1984, Bloom County had the line "If two million people do a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing." I kept that one on my bulletin board for at least four years.

I still have that same Bloom County book!

First it was Peanuts, for me. Used to read the Sunday funnies, then later the daily B&W set. Get Fuzzy was my '90s favorite.

Bloom County started me on a lifelong penguin quest after I became "Opus" as a camp counselor!

I edit nonprofit health and equity organizations' reports. I compile material from multiple people to create a cohesive document and ensure messages don’t contradict each other. My background is in public health. I led a nonprofit association before becoming an editor. #AmEditing

Thank you, Laura!

Should have said "FOR ME." I like how much we learn that what works for one person is different than what works for another!

Early January seems like a better idea than late December! #ACESChat

Fair! I don't always read even the newsletters I purposely subscribed to. I also don't want to feel like a burden.

That sounds like a good end-of-year plan, Alicia.

I often (not always) choose a word for the year. This month I settled on FUN. Learn more about fun, distinguish between fun and enjoyment, and have more fun.

And I've already started :-)

That edit button would really help.

Where's the edit button in Bluesky?

I have a sub-question for 9: Do you send out greetings this time of year?

I have a friend that does a Finance Friday for her business. We often send each other our checklists. #ACESChat

Ha!

Jamie, do you do anything unusual, or is it pretty much catching up on those basic $$ tasks?

Oooh, I do like a good mind map with color pens. Or a big place to mix words and doodles. This sounds like a fun way to prepare.
