Anyone , making New Years resolutions ??
 

  • Order every drink on the Starbucks Menu.
  • This will be interesting, reason being, I've never been into a Starbucks.
  • Write your own Instagram captions.
  • This will also be interesting because I have absolutely no idea what Instagram is.
  • Stop drinking your morning coffee AFTER you brush your teeth.
  • Oh come on, I wake up, bladder screaming, pee, pee, pee. That sorted I'm in the shower, washed and teeth brushed, all before six am. Coffee and croissants follow. So if I breathe coffee & croissants over you, at least you know that I got up in time for breakfast.
  • Celebrate Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas, in July!
  • This is probably not even funny. I remember hearing a radio presenter talking about, last minute Christmas shopping in November.
  • Exercise…your right to Taco Tuesday!
  • A what?
  • Host a chicken party!
  • I don't know any chickens, but I do have a few eggs in the fridge!
  • Stop blaming my farts on the dog.
  • My cat's farts could strip wallpaper, it's just too easy to blame the feline farts.

‘New Year’s Resolutions’
I doubt that anyone has ever said at the start of a new year; “This year I’m going to drink more alcohol, eat more junk food, do no exercise, and sit on the sofa for hours watching daytime TV. I won’t eat fresh food, or fruit, or vegetables. I won’t cook any fresh food at all; I’ll order in takeaways from Deliveroo; food with lots of salt, sugar and preservatives; the more additives the better. And I’m going to take up smoking; I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it if I try hard enough; and it might be fun to try recreational drugs.” No; people will be feeling that the new year is the perfect time to give up all their bad habits. But will they succeed? Apparently, ancient Babylon is the place where the first New Year’s resolutions started; way back more than 4,000 years ago. They started this tradition during their 12-day New Year celebrations when they would plant their crops; pledge allegiance to their king and make promises to their gods to pay all their debts and return borrowed items. I wonder how many lawnmowers got returned back then, lol. Failure to do all this would result in disapproval from the gods. The tradition also continued with the Romans; the Emperor, Julius Caesar, introduced a new calendar in 46 B.C. declaring 1 January as the beginning of the new year. The date was to honour the god, Janus; he had two faces; one looking back into the previous year; and one looking forward into the new year. Sacrifices were made to Janus; and the people promised to behave well for the new year. During the Middle Ages, the tradition continued when knights pledged to renew their vow to chivalry by placing their hand on a live, or roasted, peacock. This annual ‘Peacock Vow’ always took place at the end of the year and was used to maintain all the values and high standards of being a knight. New Year’s resolutions also feature in religions such as Christianity and Judaism. I suppose the start of a new year is as good a time as any to make changes in lifestyle; but a 2007 study from the University of Bristol showed that 88% of those who set New Year’s resolutions for themselves failed to keep to them. I’ve never made any New Year’s resolutions in my life; but this year I’ll make an exception. My New Year’s resolution for 2022 is to have as much fun as possible and enjoy the year; I hope that’s achievable, lol. xx
 
I try not to make New Years Resolutions, that way I don't feel bad about breaking them or failing to succeed at them. Having said that, I must admit I'm really liking the one charry has going, I especially like the part that says, "... to have as much fun as possible and enjoy the year," and hope it's achievable.

Probably not, but they'd be easier resolutions to keep, don't you think? :ROFLMAO:
 
I was always a straight shooting type of guy; never one to "beat around the bush." My one and only hope and resolution for 2022 would be:

I'm looking for a good woman that ain't got no man and who is looking for a good man!

Wish me luck cause I might need it. At my age there are so many women that have been abused, lied to and cheated on by men that they are sick and tired of us. I had 2 good marriages that lasted 43 years and I'm not giving up. There must be good ladies around that want to travel, have fun and enjoy what years are left. I intend to keep "searching."
