[Darc Knight]

A belly full of Xmas junk food, woman gone (I finally think), back to reading The Intelligent Investor. Oh yeah resolution: to finish this Book and start the next.


Inb4 someone says "my new years resolution is to not make any new years resolutions".

 

[Smurf1976]

woman gone (I finally think)

If she's reading the thread then that will likely be achieved, possibly very quickly.

Possibly not a bad thing Smurf. They say females have a biological need to speak a million words per day or something. This one exceeds her allowance by mid morning

Hug a leftie at least once a month

Ah how sweet.

Starlight did tell me she had very fond memories of the hot tub and the special brownies she shared with you and your delightful wife. She did mention she was thinking of returning on a more regular basis to re examine the fundamental differences between.... people..

As long as there are no "surprises", examining differences is right up our ally, bas

My resolution is going to be, to stop trying to change peoples minds, just take a deep breath and say " if you think so".

If then, they want to pursue further discussion, I will offer it.
Ah the benefit of age, it allows you to observe life in retrospect, and gives you the calmness to not to be drawn in.
It beats the hell out the the head banging, that went on in my youth.

 

[Smurf1976]

I've just realised that I have not consumed any alcohol, at all, in 2018 thus far. Zero. That wasn't an intentional thing by the way, just how it has panned out.

So I can't resolve to drink less alcohol. You can't cut zero.

I don't smoke so can't resolve to quit smoking.

I haven't watched TV since moving so no point resolving to watch less TV.

So that leaves the obvious one. I resolve to not be so boring in 2019....

It beats the hell out the the head banging, that went on in my youth.

The only proper place for head banging is at a concert.

Anything worth measuring can be measured in MW or dB and in both cases more is better.

 

[Knobby22]

I had a high pressure year and let myself go a little.
Resolve to get fitter and see and lose a little weight.

@sptrawler I like your New Years resolution "My resolution is going to be, to stop trying to change peoples minds"

If I may, I would like to dump a few quotes that you might find useful..

Idiots
When you can't educate an idiot I usually say "I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong" & leave it at that.

Clouds
I find some people are like clouds. When they go away, it's a brighter day.

Happiness
All guest make you happy some when they arrive & some when they leave

Skate.

My resolution for next year will be the same as this year... 1024 x 768 pixels

I can't believe that when you were renovating your new house, crawling through tight ceiling spaces, eating dirt etc, that you didn't earn yourself a cold hard thirst for a coldie at the end of the day?

Why would someone born in Tas and living in SA drink Victorian beer?

Actually the cat won't drink SA tap water but that's another story. Bottled water for the cat it is then.

That the renovations aren't actually finished yet might explain it too I suppose....

 

[wayneL]

Not a resolution,but a project.

I'm calling it he nostalgia project.

An idea to get back to what we had in the seventies and eighties. Sure there were problems
back then as well, but for us that was the happiest time of our lives... so, the goal is to recapture how we *felt* about life at the time.

That means ignoring some issues, and enhancing others... maybe even letting go of some things wayneL thought was important, but in the scheme of our lives, arent.

It means listening to more music, than news and politics.

It means appreciating and loving the animals, both domestic and wild, in our lives.

Appreciating creation, or nature, more.

Looking for the beauty, not the ugliness.

It means embracing my particular faith, not being afraid to (subtley) profess it, and accepting whatever others beliefs (or lack thereof) are, without judgement.

It means understanding that we may be on the fringe now, but being happy to be there.

I may try to learn to sing, even if only like a 90 year old
hog farmer, with a rep of folk songs, maybe even play an instrument, even if at this late stage, it's just blowing a moonshine flagon that I was responsible for emptying.

Tall order, but we are going to give it our best shot.
