I have three this year:
• Entirely eliminate food from my diet till I have lost those goddam ten pounds.
• Change careers (this one is being forced on me—I have hit the “age ceiling” in magazine publishing).
• Stop posting on this MB.
. . . Let’s see how successful I’ll be at any of these . . .
Sorry, Eve, but somebody beat you to this thread topic:

As to the actual resolutions you posted in your OP, let me merely say … Yeesh! :eek:
Taking sort of a “Sherman through Atlanta” approach to your resolutions this year, eh, Eve? I made resolutions on my past birthday, rather than New Year’s. So far, I’m on track to complete 'em by the time the next one rolls around.
Maybe for New Year’s, I’ll resolve to do things like “drink beer” and “liberally apply hot sauce to anything I can get away with.” That way I won’t disappoint myself.
Oh, the usual…get organized, don’t let insignificant crap get to me, run 3 miles 4 times a week. And cut down on the hooch.
No matter how much I yell - people in other cars don’t care…

Instead of resolving my issues, I will just repeat until I have convinced myself it is true.
I remember Steve Dallas’ New Years resolution in ‘Bloom County’.
“I, Steve Dallas, resolve to smoke, drink, and carouse with tarts as much as humanly possible.”
There is already a thread dedicated to this subject-just follow the link tracer has conveniently provided.
I’m locking this one off.
