I have nothing to add other than I already feel stressed out just seeing these predictions, lolsob.

[dc2london]

I don't think I have it in me to do 2024 at once but I feel very strongly that there will be a weird boat related news cycle. Something weird will happen to or with a boat.
Also, I am not an astrology girlie, but the astrology girlies swwm convinced that 2024 is going to be crazy.

I’m not even superstitious really but this thread seems too much tempting fate and I will not be participating because even the thought of making up potentially bad things is going to make bad things happen. I hope only the good predictions in here come true lol

[jaidit]

I don’t want to be that lurking person, but trueblue #7 is insensitive. Especially for those of us who lived through a semi recent mass casualty event here.

Can I sit with you? 23 was bad enough personally I can’t put that energy out there for everyone else as well

[clucky]

Starting the year with a 7.6 earthquake and impending tsunami is too much already.

[mrsweasley]

I don't like how possible so many of these suggestions seem

I also cannot put together a list, it's too much. I don't have good feelings so I think I'll spend the year petting the kitten and trying to avoid the news cycle for my mental health
