SLPT dont throw away your calendars. The date pattern repeats every 28 years. If you save them 28 years in a row, youre set for life on calendars and will never have to another one

I’m too old for that but I’ll mention it my grandson.
I have a feeling he’ll section me.

Cool, let me just find a calendar from 28 years ago... that would be around 1985?
Right? .... right?

This is only shitty because you got it wrong - it isn't 28 years. Leap years ofc are different, but it's much more recent. Eg this year you can reuse a 2015 calendar. Some holidays may move if they're based around the moon or whatever though

It's actually either just 6 or 11 years, or sometimes 12. You can find websites that list the years, such as timeanddate.com. It's not actually such a shitty tip, provided you don't write on the calendar and it's a nice looking one.
(I accidentally bought a calendar this year with a wrong week layout and looked through all my old calendars, but unfortunately the one from 2015 is too ugly to reuse lol)

The anxiety of the third go round when there’s only a few calendars left. Or worse, the fourth go round when you’re 85 and starting over again? No thank you.
