Happy New Year

I thought that since it is New Years eve I should say more than just Happy New Year to all my readers. So hope this is somewhat interesting.

There have been stamps to commemorate the New Year since 1887 when in Germany the official postal printer inscribed envelopes and greeting cards.

From 1932 the government of Paraguay issued New Year stamps overprinted overprinted “Feliz Ano Nuevo 1932” (Happy New Year, 1932).

In 1935 Japan issued two New Year stamps. The USA has also issued (Lunar) New Year stamps with the animal of Chinese New Year. I am not sure from what year but I recall seeing some from 1997 somewhere, I think.

In 2009 the USA stamp will feature the Ox. The Ox is seen to represent positive characteristics such as responsibility, industriousness, intelligence and practicality, as well as negative traits like stubbornness and intolerance. Ye gods it must be my year!!!!!!!!! :-)

Here in Seoul there is probably some partying but not what I would be used to in Sydney. The “real” New Year here is the lunar New Year running from January 26, 2009 to February 13, 2010. I will miss it, but not that much as I’ll be back in Sydney with family. :-)

Happy New Year.. Look forward to you joining me on this blog in 2009

Enjoy your stamps……….. Michael

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
