New Year Resolutions

[eternaltrue]

As I said in another thread I'm giving up booze, is anyone else gonna make Amy changes to their life?

 

[Big Black Dog]

I'm not going to cuss any damned more.

 

[Oddball]

I made a resolution long ago to make changes when I notice that they need to be made, rather than waiting around for one day out of the year to make them.

 

[boedicca]

I intend to find additional ways to Go Galt and focus my income on paying off the rest of my mortgage as fast as possible.

 

[Big Black Dog]

I'm going to trust more that there is a Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny and Owe Bama was really born in Hawaii. It will be hard because all 3 are myths.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I don't drink much, I'm in pretty good shape for my age and I've already paid off most of my debt in previous "New Years Resolutions" so I guess I need to:

1. Organize the House better. My wife and I live in a house that was built in 1927 so it doesn't really have any closets or built in shelves and as a result our house is pretty cluttered. So what I need to do is go through all my clutter, in the the house AND the garage, throw out what I don't need or use and organize the rest. Then either build shelves or buy furniture.

2. Study Japanese AGAIN! I used to be pretty fluent in Japanese but those skills have greatly diminished in the last 10 years or so. We've had guests visiting from Japan recently and I was sitting there without much to say because I'd forgotten most of it! You know how it is with a language, you have to "Use or Lose it" and I've lost most of it.

3. Master the Guitar. I've played acoustic guitar since H.S. and I recently bought an Electric (Epiphone Les Paul) so I'd really like to learn the fretboard and then learn to solo.

Nada. Just another day, another year.

I gave up making New Year resolutions years ago...it's like trying to keep a promise (which I don't make any promises or guarantees to anyone for any thing any more either) I am not very good at sticking with them.

Good luck E-True...you can do it...I hope the New Year brings you much love and peace.♥

 

[Noomi]

Yep. I make them every year and some of them I stick to, others I don't. This time, I am determined to:

Pay off at least $10,000 of my loan
Lose at least ten kilos
Exercise often
Eat healthier

Just the usual ones, really.

 

[dblack]

I just ordered my first "smart" phone. My resolution is to make it through the entire new year without losing it.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

New Year's resolutions are stupid.

 

[uscitizen]

Several years ago I made a new years resoloution to not make any more new years resoloutions.
No problem at all keeping that one.

I don't make them either, but this coming year will be different. I plan to do more reading ( even fiction ) and watch less political programs. I am tuning out politics by 50% or less. And I will stick to this. The idea came to me last month, but I thought I would throw it into this thread, as a New Year's Resolution....

Before I make any more resolutions, I will wait and see if there is a difference in the taxes that are withheld from my paycheck. If there are, I may turn to drugs.....

Found this, thought it might be helpful. Sometimes clutter can just stymie a person ... where to start? Our house isn't too cluttered but the constant dog hair ... oy. Although our closets and a few drawers leave a LOT to be desired, need to get them cleaned out. Kids rooms are awful (mostly the oldest and youngest; oldest clutter, youngest @ 15 pig sty) Ah well, it's on them, I give up and just close the door.

I have never made resolutions in the past, but sometimes the start of a new year gives you the push you need to make some changes, gonna start to walk more too, I love walking its just the weather in the UK has been so wet the last few years

 

[JOSweetHeart]

The only thing that I can think of right now is to get certain areas of my house straightened up. What makes that easier said than done is the fact that I sadly do not have the help that I need in making all of that happen.

God bless you always!!!

I've done the same thing for many years.
Damn, I'm good at it.

 

[NoNukes]

Quit arguing with stupid people.

Many of you will not hear from me next year.

I resolve to work at least twice as hard at trying to undermine the Quran.

eternaltrue, that's a good idea. Fortunately, my truck has 2 umbrellas in it, and it's right by the door most days.

I wasn't going to make one, but walking outside a little each day is such a good idea, do you mind if I borrow your idea to walk more?

It's so pretty here in the Piney Woods of Texas, it's going to be fun. I think I will start a thread and make myself post about walking every day.
