[resourceboom]

[prawn_86]

And one that slipped my mind:

Continue to expand and grow my travel forum, as its something i enjoy doing Im hoping to eventually (3 - 5 yrs) make it a premier online destination for travel questions/advice/info. What ASF is for stocks i want mine to be for travel.

 

[Bushman]

None - perfection is bliss

Oh alright - donate more to charity, tackle my anger management issues, perfect my cover drive and forgive the propaganda loving 'righties' when they talk about executing terrorists in Asia as a means of protecting Australia's borders.

All in all, try to become a better 'christian bhuddist centrist money-loving inflation fearing capitalist socialist anorexic body obsessed consumerist whale and tree hugging waxed androgynous' man of the 21st century. I can do it - FHM told me so!

...and happy New Year to all of you. Hope you all get a pash down at the beach on the big night.

look some years its taken me 6 months before I decide what to do...and then I do it
some of the other things I would like to do...but cannot be bothered....I just dream about it.....for eg; going for a brisk walk in the morning....I only do it in my dreams,,,,,and I feel terrific afterwards.....so does the dog ! dieting...no worries...I look terrrific eating fish and salads....I picture myself eating the same stuff the animals do...all that green yukky tasteless stuff...
better to leave it for the animals...and they do not worry about diets....some of them only worry about ending up on your table

It's funny how a New Year resolution thread has turned into a discussion on weight loss. The answer to being overweight is so obvious...eat less. It's great to think though, that people are otherwise happy with their lives.

I did try to get the fat bastards off this thread yesterday but they are still on about losing weight at New Year, today.

They will be out on Jan 1 upsetting the wildlife a huffin and a puffin in their trackies.

How about some proper resolutions.

[Mr Capital]

I said get fit NOT Lose weight.

[korrupt_1]

1. Take long service leave
2. Spend quality time with toddler
3. Buy a 4WD
4. See more of Australia
5. Be nice to everyone

 

[Julia]

1. Learn to ignore people on forums with whom I disagree when I know that to argue with them is pointless and frustrating.

2. To be less literal in interpreting what people say. Let much of it flow over me.

3. To be grateful for every day I'm alive, reasonably healthy, with choices in most areas, and financially self supporting.

4. To resist the temptation to get another puppy.

GG, you can't go travelling business class or first class and drive a 'Monaro!'

You have to get a decent car like a Lotus or AMG Merc. I dont see cigar smoking dudes in Monaro's, Merc's yes. (Resolution 11)

And!!!! Perhaps we should be more tolerant of ZackW if he in fact lasts until the New Year (Resolution 12)

And!!! Take it easy on the cyclists GG, some of us are keen investors/traders as well and you wouldn't want to have no one to talk to would you? (Resolution 13)

All good points mate.
Resolution 14 for me is to be more humble , so in that spirit I accept your points although I'd prefer a few concessions please.

An Aston Martin rather than a lotus or a merc.

ZackW I will be more tolerant towards , difficult, very difficult but I'll do it. I've never been partial to blokes with mullets.

I myself once rode a bicycle with a pelethon of Italians all called Bruno, so I will be more tolerant of cyclists.

gg.

 

[springhill]

first of mine is to devise a plan to recover all that money lost on shares in 2008....and I have already cut my alcohol consumption in half, beginning last Monday

I have decided to double my alcohol consumption, as the investment decisions i make when sober are obviously not working. Maybe the ones i make when im blotto will pay off

 

[ck13488]

1. go from 80 to ~85kg and maintain same bf%
2. get a traineeship and continue uni
3. save/invest/generally not waste 25% of my income
4. less morals...same standards

[nevieboy]

1. Drink more.

The thing is, I'm actually not fat.

thats funny...but definately not good for any investment decisions.....
I was only consuming alchohol after hours....which should not have affected my decisions.....


It will be awhile before I trust any of them with my cash again....and doubt any sustained recovery will take place in the market until much later in the year....
one would have thought I would have learnt my lessons from the tech wreck days...
cheers

Think I might give up mild swearing, and take up f***ing cooking.
