[lights1961]

[Michigan Girl]

Only retarded people would need to use a calendar to better themselves.

The only thing New Years signifies is that you are one year closer to the grave.

Don, your new av is perfect!!!!!!!!! You ARE the Eeyore of the boards

Eeyore is a little harsh ...but I agree!!

No no, not harsh! Eeyore is a very sweet and loved Pooh character! but he does love to spread doom and gloom!

No ...our Eeyore is a little harsh, but I agree w/him!!

[Michigan Girl]

To change my ways so you people on the boards will call me nice

If you do ...I can't stay and watch it!!

Don't worry, MG, it'll never happen. Just make sure Parfait sticks around.

Maybe I will find a way to even be nice to HIM

I don't know, SJ ...she sounds serious ...and dull, already!! :shock:

It's all a diversion! She's gonna come back after the New Year and be even meaner.

We'll see....Christmas gave even the Grinch a bigger heart

Yeah, but MR Lynn makes The Grinch look like Liberace in a tutu!

You'd never believe how often I actually hold back with responses. It's a struggle sometimes

I agree. But I usually say it in a nicer way than that. I just don't understand the point of doing it on Jan. 1st. If you're choosing to change something about yourself or make a big change in your life, what difference does it make if you do it on the first day of the year or the 132nd?

It's my belief that forcing yourself to do it because it's "New Years" is setting yourself up for failure, because you aren't ready. You're doing it because you've been thinking about it for awhile and then New Years comes along and you try to force yourself into a resolution. I've seen exactly ONE person in my life actually succeed at something they resolved for New Years.

So the possibility of Lynn's resolution
becoming a complete success, is practically nil ...thanks for the great news, sweet girl!!

Not at all. Lynn's resolution was to change so that people will think she's nice, but Lynn is already nice. It's everyone ELSE that needs to change.

[Everett]

I have some extremely aggressive career and home-owning goals that I will be pursuing. Unfortunately, that's probably going to limit my travel this year and I may only make 5 Journey shows. But if they fuck up the opportunity to tour with the Scorpions, it might dwindle to a mere 1 or 2. Do not fuck this opportunity up!!!

You can always see styx dan

Not even a day . Though having a job during the DAY would help, damn these night shift jobs

Agree with both of you.

[Melissa]

Well I guess *I'm* retarded since I do have one resolution, and I DID stick to my one last year too, so I guess that makes me even more retarded So I'll join the rest of you retards in your resolutions!

Eve, and Parfait after MG gets through with them.....

I'm with you, Mel. I think new year's resolutions are great. It's easy to track the day you started said resolution on, and it gives you a fresh start and clean slate. Sure, you could start them at any time like a few have mentioned, but you could also buy presents, don them with Christmas wrapping paper and put a fucking tree in your house in June, but people save that for Christmas, just like people save resolutions for the New Year! Tradition, bitches!

awe! Well then do you think that would work? Will everyone change, including Parfait, to accommodate me?? So this mean side doesn't have to surface?

Yeah, I think the idea is out with the old..in with the new. A new year, a fresh start. The whole Christmas season to me is a time to reflect, and from that comes ways to maybe better ourselves. Like how I will try to show less Grinch and a little more Cindy Lou Who!! But there are never guarantees with resolutions...old habits die hard and sometimes they fail

[Michigan Girl]

I think the point being ...there's never a bad time of the year to do good things, take better care of yourself,
do nice things for others, save more money, quit smoking ...or the bong thing ...you don't have to wait until
Jan ONE, unless you need the calendar to mark time ...That was his point!!

No, he is pretending he's getting tased....

I've never made a New Year's resolution in my life... not for lack of goals or things I want to improve. I just continually set goals and try to meet them depending on what's going on in my life. I set a goal to cut back on my drinking in August (notice, I didn't say quit), and I'm going strong 4 months with that. I guess I'd like to keep that going. It's been nice to get my weekends back, especially Saturday mornings, which is one of the few times I have to go hit some tennis balls or play some pickup hoops and enjoy myself these days. I've probably only been really hammered about 5 or 6 times in the last 4 months.

It's not like I was drinking all the time or anything, just heading to the bars once a week like most people my age do. But, I just got sick of the whole scene. Honestly, it's in large part due to the awful music I'm subjected to at just about every bar I go to. It's honestly not fun for me to go somewhere and have rap music blasted in my ears all night. It's not a good time to me. Now, give me the right occasion and I'll be right there pounding beers (a sports game, a concert etc), but I just realized it's not worth it just for the sake of drinking at bars and going deaf from rap and club music anymore.

Wow. You're really smart today. I personally find the best way to quit with something is through a bet. If someone tells you that you can't stop with a habit or do whatever, then you kindly tell the person to go fuck himself and show him/her what you're made of. There's nothing that can compare to the feeling you get when you tell someone:
I told you so.

Self awareness is the first step to getting help.

Exactly, and last year's was a doozy and hard for me as you know, and actually didn't really work until later in the year as you know too, and I know I don't HAVE to wait until January one, I just am because I like Thanksgiving and Christmas treats , and so setting the goal any earlier to lose the 20# off my fat ass I need to wouldn't be too damn smart, now would it? I want cookies for now, dammit (which btw, did you make those ones you make every year yet? YUM! ) And just because some of us might set one little goal on New Year's just because, doesn't mean we don't better ourselves in any other way the rest of the year But hey, if what I do doesn't work, then skinny bitches who eat foofy salads can gladly point at me and laugh... and then I'll get you to tell them to f*ck off for me

*and I used the star on purpose because I know that annoys the shit out of some people, so to stop annoying crap like that is NOT one of my goals this year!
