Backroads Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 For those of you who still have paper wall calendars, what kind are you using this year?Ours has pictures of old maps. We also have a giant At-a-glance laminated monstrosity of a sheet for the whole year hanging up in our library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David13 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I have the monthly large At A Glance office generic type.That's the only theme so far. I'll see later if I get cats, or motorcycles, or something, maybe scenery.dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Lighthouses. My mom always gives me a calendar for the next year for Christmas. It’s not Christmas if I don’t get my calendar. She knows I like lighthouses, so that’s what I usually get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zil Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 If you like snarky, I recommend building your own... At work I have a booklet-style one-month-covers-two-pages thing. (Mostly cuz I don't trust the HR system to accurately track my time off, so I do it on paper.) My fridge has two dry-erase calendars which I use mostly to track birthdays, church events, and similar (I also put those in my email system so it pops reminders for me).

NeedleinA Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) "Tropical Islands" on the fridge paper calendar. Either subsides the need temporarily to go to a tropical Island or on the flip-side increases it? Haven't figured out which yet. Going to Hawaii in March now though...

Iggy Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Baby Animals on the wall above my computer.Old fashioned Day Planner in my purse. I am so dependent on that planner - I have three months in it along with my address book. I keep all of the Day Planner past years, in case we need to verify appointments, happenings and when I put batteries in my hearing aides. Hubby uses his Kindle Fire.

Palerider Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 We always buy calendars from the LDS bookstore in Nauvoo. One calendar is temples and the other is one of the teachings of the Savior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still carry the old fashioned day planner in my purse. I put everything in that planner. And it's funny. I keep old ones too. It's been amazing the things I've had to refer back to with those. I think the oldest one I have is from 1992. Iggy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm with you. I still carry the old fashioned day planner in my purse. I put everything in that planner. And it's funny. I keep old ones too. It's been amazing the things I've had to refer back to with those. I think the oldest one I have is from 1992.It sure came in handy when the across the street neighbor threatened to kill me. I had written the encounters in my planner - noting the time of day, etc. When Hubby insisted that I press charges after a week of drugged out neighbors threats, I could go back in the planner when the ADA had me come in for my disposition. The neighbor also threatened two other of us female neighbors, but only the gal next door to me wanted to press charges against him. She used her cell phone to record what had happened to her. She actually recorded his last threat! I kept the old ones because I recorded my blood glucose levels, when I took my insulin, what was eaten and when. On days that Hubby and I both had appointments, there just wasn't room for everything, so I bought journals that had enough pages for a year to 6 months to use as my Diabetic Journal. Before my biannual total blood work up medical visit, I transfer all the data (not the meals) to a chart I created using Excel. Then a week before my appointment, I email this chart to my Primary Care Physician so he has time to study it. I keep mine in 1 gallon zip bags. In AZ there were some really icky bugs that got into my stored paper. Not the blank paper, but the written on. Think they liked the ink and pencil lead! Some of those bugs got into the boxed food stuff too. Rice-A-Roni, Pastas, Instant Stuffing, Hamburger/Tuna Helper. After throwing away about 6 months food storage worth, I vacuumed sealed the new boxes. Ooops, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I use the calendar on my phone for everything. I like the idea of being sent reminders of event coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhold Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have a Transformers calendar for the house. I bought a My Little Pony calendar for the office just to see what everyone else does. Backroads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
