nemontemi?

According to legend (or history or science, depending on how you do this), when the extra days (dias nefastos -- or nemontemi) numbered five, then the Aztecs would have a fuego nuevo...

we have a leap year every four rather than waiting for the five to pile up.  And the only legend I have heard is about this being the day that women could/should propose ... I heard, again, this morning where that was true, which country... but now I can't remember.

In any case, I wonder, if the crazy feelings people have been describing to me lately don't have something to do with this dia nefasto we are experiencing today...

Try to embrace the uncertainty.

  2. Unquestionably believe that which you said.
    Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net
    the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely
    get irked while people think about worries that they plainly
    do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could
    take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
