Fellow FReepers

Please post your 2007 New Year's Resolutions below.

Yea, I know, some of you don't believe in 'em, etc., but after last year, we do need some change.

So, please list them here, no matter what subject or relavance.

We can then review them on occasion through the year to see how we're doing.

Go for it !!

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I'll start:

1) Meet & get to know some FReepers in my area (Twin Cities).

2) Contact my elected officials much more often and help keep our Right Wing officials "on the Right".

3) Help start a Bill that will hold accountable that the Child Support money being paid out by the Non-Custodial Parent be spent & used on that Child. Any monthly money left over goes directly into a College Fund.

[cardinal4]

Im going to try and be a better parent..

[LiteKeeper]

Never go through the frustration of making New Year's resolutions again! :-)

[Lokibob]

I will NOT become a professional wrestler this year.

[motzman]

I resolve to punch more people in the face.

[spinestein]

I resolve to be LESS tolerant of people who engage in "bumper sticker" politics. So far I've been fairly polite to those who say things like:

Clinton lied, nobody died
No blood for oil
Defend America impeach Bush
War is not the answer

...and other such banalities which only identify the speaker as someone who has a brain the size of a walnut yet thinks HE'S the smart one and it's HIS duty to try to inform everyone else how the world works. I've had enough of these arrogant pricks and I'm no longer going to go out of my way to spare their feelings in my replies to them.

Other than that I'm perfect and don't need to make any New Year's resolutions.

Already posted HERE

I resolve not to play anymore practical jokes on FR.

[Lokibob]

I'm going to eat all the M's in a package of M&M's, then send the remaining W's to Australia for the kids down under to eat.

[COUNTrecount]

My Resolutions

1.Spend less time at the computer.

2.Cancel #1.

[spinestein]

[I resolve to punch more people in the face.]




That's a good resolution! I think I should incorporate that into my own resolution to be less tolerant of others.

[MamaB]

You sound like me. One of my hobbies is genealogy. I spend hours checking into leads I find. Guess that is why I have over 13,000 names in my FTM. Life is too short not to do what I enjoy and then to pass it on to others. I found that our when our daughter died in 2004 and then this year when my brother died in May and my husband died on 8 Jul 2006.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

A couple bumper stickers I STILL see...

"Wellstone!"

"Never Park the Bus"

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I resolve not to click on your link anymore before I read the fine print !

[SoldierDad]

Let's see. Where to start.

1) Lose 30 to 40 lbs.

2) Be more politically active by contacting my elected officials more often and voicing my opinions.

3) Obtain my LEP and work towards earning my admin credential.

4) Move closer to where I work so I don't have to commute 2.5 hours one way.

5) Go fishing more often so that paying the ridicules price for a fishing license feels more worth it.

[COUNTrecount]

So sorry about your losses. The Internet allows us to reach out to many we'd never know otherwise. Happy New Year !

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

MamaB - you have FReep Mail...

[motzman]

So many problems get solved with a good FacePunching.

The threat of a good FacePunching stops most problems right in their tracks.

[magslinger]

LOL, at least I'm ending 2006 with a bang!

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I'm adding another:

Gotta find a good GirlFRiend.

The "Right" GirlFRiend.

(Mail me any leads, please...)

[Enosh]

I've decided to win the lottery.

[doug from upland]

Stop Hillary. Finish the film.

[Florida native]

Goals I'd like to accomplish by the end of 2007:

1. Firm up and lose 25 lbs

2. Obtain my MCSA

[CyberAnt]

I don't usually post in these New Year's threads, but this year was especially difficult for me losing 3 members of my family in a 5-month period. One was my favorite brother-in-law, the next was my mom (93 yrs), and then the worst, my 36-yr old son who had multiple cancers.

I'm looking forward to the NEW year.

I wrote a book which was released in October, and it's getting good reviews from family and friends. My former Pastor (who's now with another world-famous ministry) has offered to assist with sending the book to his ministry's promotion's person and see if he can help me promote the book.

I've also launched 2 websites which I hope to promote better by using the techniques from a marketing class I'm taking. Through the book and the websites, I hope to have enough income to get out of debt .. which will allow me to work the websites from home (instead of working for someone else) .. and my long-term goal is to be out of debt this year (or as soon thereafter as possible) .. allowing me to purchase a 4-plex or 6-plex, where I can live and the other tenants will pay the mortgage. I have friends who own a lot of property who will be assisting me in that endeavor.

While the sadness of this year will be with me for awhile, I'm very optomistic about my personal fortunes being improved this year and the next.

The secret to resolutions is to make them realistic and easily doable. The more resolutions you can accomplish the more encouraged you'll be and the easier the next goal will be. So, I will list my resolutions:

1. Get out of debt.
2. Concentrate on marketing class.
3. Get website for book up and running.
4. When debt is paid - start looking for investment property.

[spinestein]

LOL!

Last year I started taking martial arts classes. I think I should start referring to it as "face punching school". I can't wait until we start working on the groin kicking part; that should solve a few of the more difficult problems that face punching won't solve.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

My deepest prayers and best wishes for a fresh new year.

FReep mail me the book info, site, etc.

[matt1234]

I resolve to start writing "2007" on all my checks.

[motzman]

[rottndog]

I resolve to start writing "2007" on all my checks.

I resolve to do this before I make it through my first book of checks.

[bannie]

Oh, gee. Let's see......................

Lose weight? Yea, loooose weight.

BWWWAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA!

[R. Scott]

Get back into working out again.

[fanfan]

Bump!

[Pusterfuss]

A couple bumper stickers I STILL see...

I saw one at Rosedale Friday: "Preserve the Sanctity of Divorce".

[bannie]

Doug, I encourage you to succeed in both!

:-)

Happy, New Year! You're a wonderful asset to our Nation!

[proud_yank]

ROFLMAO!

[proud_yank]

No blood for oil

I could never figure out how people can actually put that on a car, and not see the hypocrisy.

[fanfan]

Im going to try and be a better parent..

You already are.

;-)

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

May sound silly but...

Mine is to take my injections regularly, no matter how lousy they make me feel.

And to work out three times a week.

Happy New Year all!!

[Dead Corpse]

1) Move back to Minnesota.

2) Add to my firearms collection

3) Possibly position myself for a 2008 run on a political ticket as a conservative in Minnesota politics. Will get active in MN politics one way or the other though.

[proud_yank]

What are yours? Since I've never really kept through with one in the past, perhaps I'll try a different approach this year...

Eat more fried & fast food.

Add 2" or more to the waist line.

Be tolerant of leftarded idiots.

Won't try to get a promotion/raise.

Won't ski at all this winter.

Won't paddle at all this summer.

Won't get a trophy moose and/or caribou this fall.

I'll let you know how it worked in a year :-)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Keep in touch - we need you here.

We need to be at the '08 Nat'l Convention at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

[fanfan]

LOL!

You planning for success?

[rottndog]

I resolve to post no less than 5 replies a day.

[rottndog]

I resolve to post no more than 150 replies a day.

[proud_yank]

Just trying a little 'reverse-psychology', thats all :-)

[cardinal4]

Thank you, FanFan. Both my wife and I work full time jobs and go to school. I dont give enough attention to the boys and my daughter. Im going to work to change that..Happy New Year!

[KoRn]

I WILL quit smoking this year! I plan on doing it within the next week.

[Enosh]

Good luck! It can be one of the most difficult things you will ever do, but the rewards are significant.

Me, I intend to be cremated so that I can continue to smoke just a bit longer.

[republican4ever]

Mine is one and simple: get rid of the cancer they've discovered last month.

[republican4ever]

... and after I've done that:
Move to Texas!
And then... we'll see.
