What is your New Year Resolution?

I have two
1. eat more popcorn
2. pet more kitties


:popcorn:

1. Get into shape
2. Get into a raunchy threesome
3. Die content

Now we know that, at best, only one of them is going to happen. Which is why I'm starting to exercise gun-ho! :rofl:

same time ...thanks :rofl: fixed

popcorn and eat... er, forget that part
:hi:

are you trying to get my thread locked before it even gets started???

If I did, I'd fail w/in a week anyways.

more than eighteen times a day." -- and then reward yourself with some chocolate or something when you attain it.

I quickly determined that they weren't *pets*, they were furry *roommates*. That didn't change things in the mind of my husband-at-the-time, of course.

I don't know if it'll change things, but I have to take it.

Tucker

and other various words of wisdom....

I change it when I think of it.

Just askin'

no.

:shrug:

and tears are streaming...dunno why but this just cracked me up

Get another job.

Use the money from the job to see lots of birds.

It's a vicious cycle....

You can see birds, play with birds, have birds try to hijack your coffee, shower with birds...

Tucker

I want to see a Limpkin. :(

How'd you like to share breakfast with an Umbrella Cockatoo? In my house, you haven't got a choice, you *will* share your breakfast, or face the wrath of The Beak...

Tucker

Last week in the paper there was an ad for a pair of parrotlets and the cage for 175.

I was pretty tempted, but I've already got a snake and a dog that need more attention, so I couldn't do it.

Then parrots are for you. When my younger son was about eighteen months old, and I knew he was the last of my human babies, I resolved to have a psittacine eventually. But I am the weird sort of person who wants to live with toddlers for the rest of my life. I love the way they want to get into everything! I think there's maybe about 3% of the population who really wants the "terrible twos" to last forever, and doesn't care whether the loud, fussy, messy baby is a human or a "flying toddler with pliers on his face."

:applause: get the patch or whatever it takes but DO IT

I picked a safe one! :)

hair, yes beard, no

It whipped in her face when I looked to the sides.

Of course you would need to braid your beard while riding





D'uh





:blush:





sorry, my bad

I may have to begin leaving it braided more often.

one can imagine ALL the possibilites....;)

#2.Help get the rest of his cronies removed from their jobs.

:patriot: c

:applause: :patriot:

it seems I listen but don't hear what people are actually saying. I mean I hear the words but all I hear is blah blah blah... also I would love to find a clue in 2006.

I LOVE YOUR AVATAR!!!!!

in the heart of someone named Wildhorses

but, like this year, a lot of that depends on the price of gas...

will be to only buy normal orange juice and coffee instead of "Transfair" products which support small Third World production. I'll feel like a pig. I know I'll need the support of the Lounge, though, when I do quit!

----------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

anything I can do.....feel free to PM me just to vent....matter of fact when you get the urge to light up...just PM me instead!!!!

I have a house to renovate and I know I wouldn't be able to do it before that date.

-------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

:spank: but truly I know it is hard and I wish you the best...

and lose the Katrina weight I gained.

:applause: best wishes for your success!!!

Lose weight.
Stop smoking.
Stop using my credit cards.
Start going to church again.

I got tired just reading it:rofl:



Good luck....I have a feeling you are going to need it!!!

to your usual, except the smoking part, I quit about 6 months ago :-)

:applause:


and good luck with the rest of that very auspicious list

not to brag but I lost 18 pounds this past fall too (but really only 15 lbs now after X-mas) :blush:
I still want to lose about 10 more though.

:applause::applause::applause::applause::applause:

Nearly 7 months ago, I gave up caffeine and Pepsi. It's been a resolution of mine for years but I've finally accomplished it.

For 2006 I've set some very pressing goals.

1. To learn yoga.
2. To begin learning French.
3. To limit myself to no more than 3 fast food meals per month until I achieve the body results I want.
4. To be more active in the DU lounge.
5. To workout regularly (meaning more than once a week).
6. To gain more self-confidence.
7. To get a nice tan.
8. To read at least 20 books.
9. To completely revamp my style.

:D

Swear less.

3. swear MORE.....to my list :rofl:

you know? :)

:hi:

It will help. Quitting smoking is the resolution, not the trying. :) Seriously, it will change your frame of mind.

Thanks :hi:

Oh, when you first quit, and someone offers you a cigarette, turn it down by saying, "I don't smoke". It's more positive.

:hi:

and so far I've lost 10 pounds! :P

jumped the gun didn't you?





really though it is most excellent!!!
:applause:

automatically give up the action?






goes back to: I think therefore I am








Good luck, I think

Resolutions

Whereas: I have never, in seriousness, made a New Year’s resolution,
And whereas: I would benefit from a change in situation,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will make resolutions today.

Whereas: I have wasted uncountable hours in futile attempts to help loved ones,
Whereas: My time is precious,
And whereas: Many of my loved ones still require my assistance,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will find and employ more effective means and methods to assist loved ones.

Whereas: I have often demonstrated an amazing ability to extend my stamina, perceptiveness, connectivity, resilience, and combativeness when such is required by a loved one,
Whereas: I am unable to produce such extension for myself,
And whereas: I often require such extension,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will value myself sufficiently to employ my full ability for my own benefit.

Whereas: My escape from parental authority is long overdue,
And whereas: My parents are an obstacle and a danger as often as they are a resource,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will immediately begin all necessary measures to set up and hold ready a financial escape route.

Whereas: When faced with injustice and bigotry, I am likely as not to remain silent,
And whereas: To do such is immoral and cowardly,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will actively oppose injustice and bigotry.

Whereas: I am possessed of dense and durable skeletal and muscular structures,
Whereas: Such imbue me with potential physical strength unavailable to most persons my size,
And whereas: Such are underused,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will strengthen and train my body.

Whereas: I have often been defeated by assignments requiring fast C++ programming and debugging,
And whereas: This semester is my last chance to complete CS2604: Data Structures in C++,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will more thoroughly learn and more effectively use the C++ language.

Whereas: Differential Equations is a subject executed with mostly simple operations,
And whereas: I have failed to differentiate my way out of a paper bag,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will master and defeat Differential Equations.

Whereas: I have been at the mercy of my professors’ skill,
Whereas: Some professors at Virginia Tech are very unskillful,
And whereas: I have expended all of my withdrawal credits,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will recover and rebuild my alternative academic sources.

Whereas: My English Minor is proceeding far more smoothly than my Computer Science Major,
And whereas: Such may represent my best employment prospect,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will investigate professional writing opportunities.

Whereas: Penmanship is an essential communication skill,
Whereas: I write mostly by keyboard and stylus,
And Whereas: My handwriting has suffered as a result of such,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will more often update the handwritten Sixth Book.

Whereas: I have written some art and much garbage,
Whereas: I no longer write often,
Whereas: My writing is one of my most prominent defining marks,
And whereas: My ideas, if unwritten, are soon forgotten,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will write more often.

Whereas: I enjoy the sound of my own voice in full tone,
Whereas: Such is now heard only when I talk in my sleep,
And whereas: I wish to recover my voice,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will greet myself aloud upon awakening.

Whereas: Reality is often unpleasant to an extreme,
Whereas: Attempting to avoid such unpleasantness is often futile,
And whereas: Denial of reality almost always results in a worsening of said reality,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will face up to reality honestly, candidly, and in a timely fashion.

Whereas: I have at all times since developing self awareness been dominated or subjugated by another person,
Whereas: Such is not at all right, natural, or acceptable,
And whereas: Such has often occurred by my ignorance or with my willing consent,
Therefore be it resolved that: I will be nobody’s bitch.

Your list should be required reading for everyone who's an adult and still held hostage by family, friends, fear and the old worn-out "woulda, coulda, shoulda's"

Your post has touched me deeply. I want you to know that.

Be blessed.

I'm resolving to spend less money, consume fewer resources, recognize that I have no need for more "stuff", and enjoy more simple pleasures.
