    New Year's Resolutions

    Do any of you make New Year's Resolutions? If so, what are they?

    *********************

    I resolved to get my personal affairs in order, so today I completed my will, my health care power of attorney, my living will and my general power of attorney.

    What about the rest of you? Any goals, resolutions, bucket lists?

    May it be 50 years or longer before you need to use any of those.
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    I did it so I didn't have to worry about who would be looking out for and taking care of my kids.

    It was sort of like putting the last piece of the divorce puzzle into place.

    I was going to do it anyway, but it just happened to coincide with New Years. After Christmas I resolved to really lose some weight. So far Day 3 and I've lost 3 pounds.

    To never again draw the ire of the moderators, as silly and ridiculous as their rules and standards may be.

    That was a joke (the latter part). Happy Holidays to all, including......THE MODS!

    Yeah, right.

    I don't do resolutions. They just don't stick for me.

    My resolution is to try and make matzah balls ... and to do so to the proper texture.

    Since you did this in 2008, does it count?

    I resolve to have people over more frequently during the year. It will make me keep my house neater. So, if anyone is passing through Kansas, let me know.

    Nothing original here, but I resolve to lose 50 pounds, not to be healthy (although that will be a nice secondary gain) but to look good for my 30th high school reunion!! I cannot attend weighing more than I did when I went into labor with a 9 lb 2 oz baby which is where I'm at now : (

    Um, yes, because I resolve to put my marriage and divorce behind me. I prefer to keep it in 2008 and not drag it into 2009.



    Edited to add: I'm Jason Williams. I may stop posting for a while and enjoy this status.

    In the big scheme of things, its not a big deal, but I'm going to try to quit drinking pop (soda, soft drinks, coke, whatever you prefer to call them). I probably averaged two a day in college and the year and a half of grad school. I"m going for the cold turkey method a la my father (who up and quit one day 15+ years ago and hasn't had one since). Ugh, the first few months of 09 could see a very cranky Cormac. Any suggestions for substitutes from anyone else out there who has stopped? Water and milk can only go so far! Everyone pray for me, thanks!

    Do your soft drinks contain caffeine? If you're only drinking 2 per day, you should be fine going cold turkey, but if you're drinking a lot more, you may want to try cutting back some each day in order to avoid a caffiene withdrawal headache.

    Club Soda with Ruby Red Grapefruit juice mixed in. I know it sounds disgusting, but actually it is pretty good - a nice combination of tart, sweet, and fizz. Then later in the day you can add vodka.
