Hmm I don't think it has completely stopped yet...a friend of mine got calls like that once (over a few days) and the best part was it was from a foreign number! who would be crazy enough to spend money on international heavy breathing calls. As her incoming calls were free we just left it on an ignored it.
Had a friend who had thicker than normal toenails - but she later found out that it was due to some infection (there was no pain but I dont recall any other symptoms) - it might be worthwhile just checking with a doctor.
dont celebrate it so it doesn't realy matter to me but I still like it because we get a day off...that and new year means there is something to look forward to in December. The kid in me likes the decorations and trees and such too :).
