Question of the Day - Monday, November 4, 2024

[MoochNNoodles]

I'm sitting here organizing my kid's Christmas wish lists and looking up prices. The lists aren't too bad this year. Except for DD asking for pepper spray and the Nintendo Switch DS asks for every year but has yet to get. That's more than I spend on him for everything without including games. Our wii still works and I don't particularly like how he gets sucked into those games. He tends to get in trouble a lot when he has access to gaming a lot... So yeah; not a high priority on Santa's list yet. He also asked for a Garfield wall calendar for his bedroom. I thought he might like a daily one for his school desk but he wants it hanging in his room. And that's probably better for school distractions too. He's also a big fan of Mutts and Calving & Hobbes. And Peanuts. My calendar is right next to his desk too.



Do you still hang a wall calendar? What do you or would you choose for a theme?



I really like having a calendar up, changing it every month and just enjoying whatever is on it. I do really enjoy the comic calendars especially but I've done different things over the years. This year we have Simon's Cat up. I've done Pusheen, Mutts, Peanuts, the Thomas Kinkade Disney several times and occasionally a nature type theme. Last year I almost got a cool one with space telescope images. I'm also looking at the Pickles calendar this year because I love the relationship between Earl and his grandson Nelson. It reminds me of my Grandpa and I even though it's a grandson and grandfather. I keep a scripture calendar up in my dressing room too. I find little things like that are small pleasures that give me a little pick-me-up when I glance at them. Maybe I should get myself a desk calendar too. Even though I sit at the table.

i made a hybrid one of sorts back wen i worked but it was more like a list of what pools i needed to clean on what days to finnish with enough daylight left to fish at various locations before going home

 

[Tik cat's mum]

I normally put up the calendars that the grandchildren make at school,but now they are a bit older they don't make them anymore. So last year's calendar was got for me by my youngest son. He went away to Turkey and asked if I'd like anything bringing back. I asked him to pick me up a charity one I'd seen online from a animal rescue. I haven't put one up this year but if I see one I like then I will. I like cute animal one's.

 

[Winchester]

No wall calendars here. We don't use calendars at all anymore.

 

[neely]

I've always had two calendars - 1 is a wall calendar of a dog charity I donate to and the other is a spiral weekly cat planner/calendar I have beside the phone in the kitchen.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

I have a wall calendar and always choose cat pictures, surprise surprise! They're just cheap ones from the newsagent, the main thing is they have plenty of room to write appointments etc.

 

[denice]

I still have a wall calendar in the kitchen. I got one for next year this past weekend and it has cat pictures. The one for this year that is hanging in the kitchen now also has cat pictures.

 

[susanm9006]

I have a desk calendar, no particular theme, just whatever the dollar store sells.

 

[fionasmom]

I love wall calendars and consider them to be something like changeable art. They are usually cats, or other animals, but once in a while have flowers or nature. We have them in various rooms because they get used for different purposes with appointments, social obligations, etc.

 

[NY cat man]

I belong to the American Legion, and they send me a wall calendar each year, usually with landscapes from around the country.

 

[lizzie]

I used to get the doxie calendars they always had at WalMart,but they've been hard to find the last couple of years,so I just print a plain one for myself.

 

[Lari]

We have a magnetic dry erase calendar on our fridge.

My mom used to make shutterfly wall calendars with pictures of family for my grandparents and they always enjoyed that.

 

[vansX2]

I currently have two wall calendars hanging. One is 50's cars, the other is Abandoned Autos. both calendars are from Hemmings.com. My two 2025 are ready and waiting to be hung.

 

[misty8723]

Yes I do hang a wall calendar by the door to the gargage. It is usually cat themed unless I get one free somewhere. I also have a small date book for my purse and a small paper desk calendar. I'm old school. I do know how to add appointments in my phone, but it's just too much hassle when I can grab a pen and jot it down.

 

[cassiopea]

I still hang and use a wall calendar, I like having the additional organization and I find it helps knowing each other's schedules - Whether for work, appointments etc

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Not usually no. If I'm gifted one, I will hang it though. I think having one is beneficial for how I process my schedule so I should use one more regularly.

 

[maggiedemi]

No, I hate paper. I use a digital calendar on my phone.

My brother walks his dog and socialises with a bunch of people in Tasmania.. they gather at the beach where they do the walking and have birthdays etc. Several years ago someone decided to make up a calendar with photos of them all and I've used that ever since. I go down there every year or so and know the people and the dogs, so it's a lovely memory calendar, and practical. I'm one of those people who still writes down appointments on them.
