For those of you celebrating the Gregorian New Year, I wish you a happy one.  :D

Here are some safety tips for partying tonight

Because not everyone follows safety tips, you never know when they might need a hero.  Know the signs of alcohol poisoning and what to do for a drunk friend.  Have a designated driver if people will be drinking alcohol, collect funds to hire a ride, or keep tipsy people overnight.  Watch for sexual harassment and be prepared to intervene.  Think about holiday party hazards and be ready to provide first aid.

If you are a designated driver, party monitor, or host of a party with similar safety protocols, then you can reveal a verse in any open perk poem:
"Spirit of Truth"
"Testing the Metal"
"Dangerous Refuges"
"From Silica to Silk"
"The Marble and the Sculptor"
"Picking Up the Litter"
"The Golden Peaches of Peace"

For a peek at how people in Terramagne handle someone who's had too much to drink, see "Through the Haze" and "The World Keeps Spinning." Similarly, "Down New Paths" does not involve actual alcohol but does feature a similar level of disorientation.

Panda Hippo Gnu Deer! Sadly, I am not partying to night, is a sickie. And having major What Do We Do Now discussions.

Oh, and sponsoring poetry before the year ends, because I can. :D

Thank you!

I'm not any of the things listed above (my contribution to NYE safety begins and ends at my house rule that if you're here at 8pm, you're staying), but I want to say thank you for offering a tangible (sort of) reward to those people putting themselves out to shore up the safety of those around them. It's very kind, and a wonderful idea.

I hope your evening has gone and continues to go well. Happy new year. :-)

You offered a prompt in any linkback poem, for the FB boost on theme post?

Picking Up The Litter, please. :-D
