My new year's resolution is:

"Don't Make A New Year's Resolution!"

I never keep them anyway!

But ...

I will try to keep fit, eat healthy and be happy.

Christmas has been and gone, next stop, New Years Eve Party :rolleyes:

I do'nt have any new years resulotion.........

But I have a wish.."If there's any man for me wich God will be given for me...I hope it will not be late..." :rolleyes:

"Prayer for wheelie182"

Dear GOD, please take care of this person, he is so kind if he's sleeping.
And guard him so tight.....when he's awake.
Guide and protect him when he's stucked in lift,or even when he stucked
on the floor.(I hope he'll never drag his ass again,it cause him a pain to his
butt).I pray also,that he can have his own parking space,please God spare
him.Have mercy on him,when he's car got a scratch or a dent,lead him to
a cheapest car shop.Give him a lot of his favorite crap music,like metallica
and his others nonesense songs.All and all give him a peace of mind........
AMEN!

Happy New Year to all!!!!

Well, I got a few crappy gifts myself. Here is the list...

I got a treadmeal, bicycle, rollerblades, skateboard, pair of hiking boots, and a pair of snow ski's.

Just kidding... I got a new camper shell for my truck so I can put my chair in the back without it getting soaked in the Houston, TX rain.

I haven't a resolution yet...so many choices. :lol:

I hate to even say this out loud, so I guess it's good that I can at least write it down here. I'd hope to be not smoking by this time next year.

God, I'm gonna miss it!

I didn't get any crappy gifts this year....I gave away a few, but so far none have come back to bite me in the butt. :rolleyes:

I received a vanity table/mirror, and was only too happy to get it, because until now I've been forced to just guess at what I was doing. LOL.

My resolution is to lose 20 pounds and Bruce said his resolution is to become a 'better' person....I already thought he was pretty swell....but, maybe he will do some more chores!
I got GREAT Christmas gifts. I did get one strange one though. Bruce's dad gave me a hammer to keep in my car in case the door ever gets stuck and I need to bust out of the window!!

Bruce got one too...
We just got back from a ram hunt out in Texas. Bruce killed two rams!!!

Well Caroline for your information, I got the man..The fat man with a red suit brought my husband home for xmas, I kicked him out almost 2 years ago and the day after I went to see the lawyer I regreted had done it...so I decided to call him and we started to talk again, so I guess I am in a honey moon stage...we are 480 miles apart, so it won't be easy to reunite...I can't work in Florida, STUPID State won't transfer my license from NY and SC to FL, and i would not be able to take th board either, becasue they won't license someone who took the test more than 5 times, I can't believe I can work in 27 states and not in Fl, and he refused to comeback to SC after what I put him, and after he reorganize himsefl, so I really want to have my family of 14 years together I would have to give up my career...So my resolution is to make up my mind and clear all my doubts w/o resentment so it can work... To pay off my credit cards.... To keep wheelie in control....it looks he started the 2006 being very funny and unrealistic about the skateboard...
O.k whatever will be will be..I hope you guys can keep your resolutions...i have a very one to keep or make this year...

Good Luck Guest_Joisliniad

It's nice to hear a story about love lost then regained again. I hope all works out well for you and your husband.

Myself for a resolution I'm quitting smoking cigars. I started 1 1/2 weeks before New Years Eve, so I have somewhat of a head start. Let me say to people trying to quit smoking, "do not start smoking cigars for a substitute for cigarettes)

LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING----WOW----WHAT A RIDE!!!

Regards

Marty

Good to hear that Joisliniad....
It's a good starting for 2006,good luck for the new marriege life.Hope it settle for good.I'm happy for you.......

For wheelie....
can I say something about the skateboard you've got????

:angry:

it's your kinda alternative to your wheels just in case you've got trouble on it....

flat tyres?

put your butt unto the board then put together your knees,then spread it widely as you can to your both side.Keep instill your feet unto the board.Put slipper to your both hand then you can use it to move or to push yourself.Then that's it you can navigate your skate board anywhere you want to go.But be careful on the traffic lights and the pedestrian ppl. passing by,they might hit you.Additional,you must have a whistle on your mouth just in case somebody will trap/block your way.

What do you think, cool idea??? :unsure:

I reckon...(another damn ppl..crap,nonsense...tut tut tut carolline!)

To add to the skateboard discussion:

I recently watched a tv show about a woman born with half a body. She seemed to be missing from the waist down. She used a skateboard almost exclusively. Talk about some buff arms!

Joed, I saw that woman. She actually had a baby. It is pretty amazing what those people can do. Bruce said he thinks it would be easier not to have legs, because they are just dead weight.

I saw that programme too. The woman (I forget her name) had a lot to cope with, family-wise.

HillaryMCarter - I used to think that about my legs - like, I can't use them, so what's the point in them being there. But now I think I'm glad they are still there - I would surely elicit even more stares when in public with the chair AND no legs.

ME!!!!

Well, it wasn't officially one of my resolutions...so I guess I didn't break it. It just turned out that I had a hangover January 1st and I don't smoke when I have a hangover. Well, I didn't smoke all the way until the 4th...which, coincidentally was the day that school started back!
I only have one a day though. Usually right before bed, I will have a smoke and a glass of something good!!!

I was one of those who hoped to stop smoking...although if you noticed I slyly said I hoped to not be smoking by this time next year. :lol:

I'm waiting for that resolve to kick in. :angry:

Honestly - you three are terrible!

You've all come up with super poor excuses for not giving up the evil ciggies-

SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!! :angry:

*maybe that'll guilt them into giving up*

I have to admit that I also started smoking those dam cigars again. Last Monday while shooting pool somebody offered me one and I took it. And I must admit I did not feel guilty after smoking that cigar with a beer and shot of Jose Cuervo Tequila. :angry:

But I will try quiting in the near future.

OK, OK, I'll admit it.... I didn't even want to attempt putting the thought of quitting smoking into words...

But how's this for an excuse: I DON"T WANT TO!

Its really stupid because I've stopped twice for a year each time I was pregnant and I went back to it after I stopped breastfeeding both times... It was so hard - other women craved weird food - all I craved was a smoke!!! :angry:

So there's actually NO ONE on this board who managed to give up smoking this year?

Oh dear oh dear.

Maybe next year. Actually, probably not, right?! :angry:

Give us time!!!!! Its only a couple of weeks into the new year yet!!!!

Im not scared of giving up....Im scared of the killer cravings that hit me after a few hours!!!!

Actually I am going to stop smoking on Feb 3 (there I have to now that Ive said it!!!!

) as that is the first anniversary of my fathers death from emphasemia and lung cancer from smoking.

I know I should stop making excuses and do it now but maybe that way it will mean more to me, as the memories of watching him go through that will be very much on my mind. He smoked right to the bitter end. Also it was his birthday today.

Anyone want to stop with me??????

I will let you all know how I get on!!!!

Jilly, I would love to stop with you.....but, if I stop then my real new year's resolution will be kaput! My resolution is to lose 20 pounds and we know that won't happen without a cigarette. Bruce makes fun of me because as I am leaving the gym, I am lighting up! We are thinking of trying to get pregnant in May, so I will probably quit in April. Bruce said that as soon as I have not had a cigarette or alcohol for a month, then we can start trying. Plus, I have to make a 3.5 GPA in school for the next 2 quarters!!! We are trying to strike a deal!
