What are your New Year's Resolutions?

[jbocker]

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.

What immediately came to mind for me was to find a supplier of good old Horse Shoe Rolls (I don't think I have seen them since the 80's). Make Horse Shoe roll with butter and vegemite or Tomato & Onion or Ham and Cheese, with a big glass of full sugar Coke and perform a minimum 5 second chesty burp. That will show the grandkids what life should be like.

Not sure that leaving Tassie off will work well. And I don't think their pre-empted plea for reasoning and forgiveness will do much more than make a few people gag when they read it.

There's 3 cables and a pipeline between Tas and Vic so they could incorporate those into the biscuit design thus making the island state easily snapped off for separate consumption. Trouble is, they'd probably all snap in the box.

Meanwhile I'm getting in early and my new year's resolution for 2020 will be to not be at home sick early in the new year. It's the second time now that I've fallen ill on or about the 3rd of January. Happened two years ago and I'm crook now. Nothing drastic, just a cold or flu or whatever, but I wouldn't choose to have it that's for sure.

On the positive side it has given me plenty of time to read a lot of threads on ASF and re-evaluate my investments.

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.

Can you send me some of your hootch.

That's what you get, for thinking that silly Billy, is what you deserve.

I think I'm going to need it all for myself

I am always looking about the world for inspiration and it is often the Queenslanders that provide it. See oddspot.

Could become an Olympic sport. The 10 nicker's dash, the 100m nicker donning hurdles.
I've obviously had a wasted youth, i was always trying to get them off, not on.

My New year's resolution was to drink less alcohol

Revisiting this; a lot of what I have said here we have achieved, although still overly involved in news and politics. I guess I am just a junkie in that regard and probably will never be able to let that go until I am totally demented.

My New year's resolution this year was to reduce my alcohol
consumption, I have already failed

There's always next year.

I can't possibly make the same resolution.

Consumption during 2023 = literally zero.

Well, unless you count alcohol burned as fuel in an engine.

Boo!!!

That's no fun

 

[Knobby22]

Overall I had a very good 2023 and as a result did drink a little more alcohol, so my aim is to try to only drink while socialising and not to relieve work stress.

My big resolution this year is to try to take more cut lunches to work and save a few bucks and also have a big party as a scary big number birthday coming up.

21 again?
