B, I think I do have resolutions:

* I will not get drunk again.
* I will try to reorder my priorities thus:

1.God
2.Kids
3.ME (Spiritual, physical, emotional, mental health)
4.Marriage/Squid
5.Everything else

* I will stop overanalyzing everything
* I will stop feeling sorry for myself
* I will not waste so much energy hating OM
* I will try to be happier
* I will get a new job which still pays enough but allows me to LIVE too.

Tougher than they sound.

You got any ?

New Year's Resolution? Put all this stuff (was going to use another word but would have been edited LOL) behind us once and for all!!!!

Oh, and try to give up smoking. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Robby, ROFLMAOPMP. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Have you had any more hits on the Weight Loss Plan? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

No bids but TONS of views and 2 watchers!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Stop Smoking plan is a bit different. You can only buy cigs from me (at $1,000 per pack). If you smoke any others your $ is mine. If not you will be rebated, over time, until you quit. A 20% admin fee applies! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Yeah, I'll pass on that one, thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I'm waiting to see the Weight Loss Program reported in the world papers as one of those "weird but true" news items. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Aussie - Yep, I had a GREAT time. For some reason my house has always been the house where all the kids show up. The 2 year old even sneaks over by himself if he can escape his mom's watchful eyes.

I have all the kid friendly stuff - playstation, game cube, soda, plenty of food and comfort. They run to meet me when I come home from work. My kids are grown and now I can spoil the heck out of the little ones.

OK, I realize this part of the world thrives on tourism and they need to keep making money for their economy. But this story just sickens me tourists resume sunbathing

Couldn't they forgo their holiday and help with the clean up? I don't know,just doesn't seem right.

Yep, FF, people never cease to amaze me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

We've had news items of New Zealanders coming back here who were right in the middle of it all and they are too traumatised to even speak about it. Quite a few have stayed on to help.

Yet, there are people over there playing golf and drinking in the bar as though nothing happened. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Yes, Jen. It is sad that so many can put their blinders on and go right back to their fun.
