I think i'm going to try and work better on my cholesterol and overall health. Also try become more social somehow.
mike.
-
Get back to the gym. Need to tone up and drop five pounds.
Be more social.
Be more understanding.
Get a promotion at work.
Continue working on my side business and turn it from hobby to more full fledge.
Be kind.
Oh and figure out this new Android phone I got (ive only ever had an iphone and im having issues)
-
My New Year's resolution has remained constant for decades...
To become half the man, my dogs think I am.
Joe

I've resolved to be able to walk soon. This lack of mobility it taking its toll and I'll have to restart my entire exercise regimen. Much more blobbing around will push me over the weight cliff.

I am going to figure out how to post pictures here so everyone can see my lovable doggy, and the lovable cat from hell. ;D
I am also going to have a better diet for myself, less junk food and fast food.

1) To get a new doctor
2) To quit smoking
-
I resolve to become a kindler, gentler Miss P -- full of love for my fellow life travellers, cognizant of the fact that a strong ship requires supportive semen.
I would also like to increase my intake of nitrite laden cured pork products so that I may obtain cancer earlier than expected and die.
And, of course, church attendance -- I've gone to church two weeks in a row now and will become a member of Gloria Dei (http://www.old-swedes.org/) by next weekend.
I'd also like to double my klonnie intake in 2013, for shits 'n' giggles natch.
-
I resolve to become a kindler, gentler Miss P --
Won't last an entire day. ;D

I don't make resolutions, just think of a few things and term them "goals." For me that's easier to deal with than something so unchangeable.
Goals seem to be all inclusive with the exercise thing; that includes me, plus losing some lbs.
It's been over 3 months since I quit smoking and my goal is to continue that. Every time I go back it's harder to quit again.
I'd also like to put some cash in savings. I have no emergency fund, it was all spent on Christmas and grandchildren. I just found out my car needs a serpentine belt, so that will have to be saved for.
Also do improve on my job performance. I believe there's always room for improvement.
-
if i manage to make it through the year without derailing, i'll count it as good.

You seamen receptacle, so fulla love.
Be kind.
This is as likely as Philicia's resolution. Though I do notice you said "be kind" (not kinder). Baby steps.
I've no resolutions for 2013. I will continue to be same unhealthy, whorish, meaner than a junkyard bitch, lazy slob. At any rate that's what's gonna happen even if I devise some grandiose plan to improve myself :/
-
1. Eat better. My eating is out of control and has completely gone off the rails.
2. Start jogging again.
3. Be a better dad.
4. Work on my fear of rejection.
...Other than that, Im perfect.

No, we just get our guns out and shoot them in the air.

I just want to know if Miss P is moving to San Antonio, or Wumpy is moving to Philly in 2013. The will they or won't they is getting old. Plan the wedding already. Make this your resolutions. Who here will be the brides maids? I will be the flower girl. I haven't wanted to see a wedding, since Alice married Sam the butcher. ;)

Black eyed pea consumption for New Year's Day dinner is a southern thing -- I was forced to eat them every year, and only then. My mother loves them. I think they are the most vile, nasty thing in the world. Even worse than beef liver and onions.
I don't think anyone indulges in that where I live now.

My mother provided me with a big plate of them for today's lunch. I don't totally hate them but they're not really my favorite.

Yes, Pennies the money. Sheesh whats wrong with you people.
I had a batch of fried cabbage and pennies for lunch (my Aunt got a penny), lucky her. I didnt get shit.
Now I am heating up some Peppered Pork Loin, Hot links , Black eyed peas with slab bacon, and Queso. Oh and Guacamole.
Damn, it's going to be a great year!

You are determined to get that 9er yet ::)
Good thing you're stuffing yourself because that's the only meat you'll be enjoying on this 1st day of 2013.
-
and Queso
I would like to kindly request a detailed description of what you think queso is. I rather doubt that it's authentic freshly pressed queso fresco sitting in cheesecloth, or quesillo Oaxaca. Or are you referring to left-over felching secretions from your Justin Beiber sex doll? Should I send you that animated .gif file with hot milk shooting out of that twink's rear end? It's ever so unfortunate that we can no longer post such delectable internet discoveries!

To promote good luck for the upcoming year my family lights a candle. Usually a nice Bayberry. Seems like a much more reasonable way to summon good luck than eating old coins.

A lot of good goals/resolutions...I'll add mine. It's a small list, but stuff I need to get done. I'm also stealing some from others, because I like them :D
- Get out an socialize more
- Finish paying off credit cards
- Excercising more. Starting with getting out and walking more. Since the diagnosis, I've been kind of under house arrest, and now that I am feeling good again, I need to start working some muscles. It's been too long.
- To read more. I got a Kindle last year (2011) for Christmas, and barely use it. Part of the problem is I can never find any good books...
- To stay as healthy as possible :) So far, it's looking good.
Like BT, I think of them more as goals. I never stick to my resolutions...maybe this year I can accomplish my list of goals.
-
Now that I re-read Wumpy's homemade meal it sounds about three times as greasy as a White Castle bag of sliders. Do you actually consume all of that pork grease without taking imodium? And I had to look up how to cook "fried cabbage" and it looks like it's cooked in bacon grease. Looks horrible.

It's "slap your mammy" good! Yes, has to be fried in bacon grease. My southern peeps know what I'm talkin bout. ;)
and I've never had to take Imodium, my movements are something to marvel at, perfect in color, texture and consistency.

We were invited for cabbage and black eye peas. But, we decided to do Chinese instead. I got this fortune cookie.

I am going to try to do more exercise for 2013. Started three hours of kettlebells a week and two hours Brazilian Jujitsu. By the time I am 60 I want my purple belt.

Now this would make a good sitcom...kind of a modern day "Green Acres" (for those of us old enough to remember that show).

I looked up seasonal recipes for NYE and Pennsylvania Dutch and they eat roasted pork and sauerkraut (http://www.timesunion.com/living/article/Sauerkraut-on-New-Year-s-a-Pennsylvania-tradition-561496.php) with homemade applesauce. Some people supplement this with some oddity called chowchow (http://lancasteronline.com/article/local/798595_County-residents-usher-in-New-Year-with-pork-and-sauerkraut.html) which evidently is some nasty sludge looking material (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow-chow) that is pickled. And it's supposed to be Wos Wit Chow-chow (http://www.wos-wit.com/shop/reslishes/18-oz-chow-chow) which I looked up and have never heard of. I'm sure I've seen stuff like this at my supermarket though.
I had a friend in college who was from Baltimore and they ate sauerkraut on New Years too even though they were Italian. But they had kielbasa with it not roast pork which seems Polish to me. Fortunately since I don't, nor have I ever as an adult, lived where I grew up I don't feel tied to any tradition on a seasonal basis.
I suppose sauerkraut is healthier than frying it in bacon grease. Am I the only person who throws away my bacon grease and refuses to ever cook with it?
ps: I'm about to make grits and skillet-seared salt-cured country ham for breakfast!
-
My grand parents made home made chow chow and slathered it on all kinds of food . I never cared for it but it was a staple at their table .
-
If done right chow-chow makes a tasty relish. Done right black eyed peas are delish. I make a black eyed pea humus that's a big hit.
-

No

I'm unashamedly bragging on my black eye pea recipe . Every single person who had them asked for the recipe , even the children that were there asked for more to their moms amazement .

...

...
Evidently so. I made some nice slab bacon on Christmas morning -- that's the first time I've cooked bacon since I moved into my place in 2010. I couldn't resist saving the bacon grease, because I knew it would make some delicious cream gravy that I slathered over homemade biscuits on New Year's morning.
Bon Appetit!
-
I think bacon grease is considered a spice the south ... if we could grow a bacon grease tree I bet we would .
-

I am totally with you on this one. I find the practice vile!!!!
My granny cooked bacon every morning and I watched in horror as she woul dip bread in the hot bacon grease and eat it. I can only imagine what her arteries looked like. She might have lived a lot longer if she ate better. She died in her sleep of a massive heart attack. She was only 94. My other grandmother is still alive. At 93, we won't even attempt to change her ways. But I guarantee you'll find a huge vile can of bacon greast in the cabinet.

No, but I cant remember the last time I cooked bacon at home. Must be a southern thing.

I am reading a book right now called "Fall of Giants" and they do this. They put bacon grease on bread and eat it. Granted the book takes place in 1919 in Wales.

Yeah really. What an odd comment, Wolferella. I see the white zin is uncorked early today. Happy New Year!
Oh, and as regards bacon grease and making gravy -- I DO NOT MAKE GRAVY FOR MY FUCKING FOOD. Though I do eat it when I'm home at my parents though I don't think we had it a single time on anything this past visit.
No, but I cant remember the last time I cooked bacon at home. Must be a southern thing.
I cook bacon sometimes just not a lot, and try and buy local pastured pig meat from the farmer's market. And a lot of time it's that leaner "back bacon" like what is used for Canadian bacon, and what is sold in the UK. Seriously way better and after cooking it there's not much grease at all in the skillet.
As far as bacon grease on bread, I suppose that's no worse than the elitist bone marrow on crostini, and you girls just know if that's on the menu I'm all over it. One of my favorite things in the world. Actually bone marrow is more like butter, not bacon grease so nevermind. IT'S "MEAT BUTTER"! Supposedly in an evolutionary way it's what helped humans develop larger brains.

What??? have you misplaced your sense of humor this morning?
And so you'll know, if I DO drink this early in the day; it's green bean coffee with Baileys. That way I'm a wide awake buzzer. Unlike the first time I did Yager bombs. I had never heard of Red Bull and we drank those shots all night long. Suddenly, I was surrounded by a bunch of wide awake drunks at 3:00 am.

-Work on getting my credit card debt down. I should be able to pay one off this year and close the account while continuing to get my AMEX under control.

YES YES YES! a Thousand times YES!
PS- I got a jar of ChowChow for Christmas, also a jar of Corn Relish (which I just finished today) :P

Gravy is bad for you. Stop over-cooking your meat and you won't need it. We all know that Southerners order their steaks well done like shoe leather.
As far as Chow Chow -- this is one, and you should feel bad that you eat such things:

Gravy is bad for you. .
I only eat gravy on my biscuits and Chicken fried steak. So Im safe.

You're a liar. I know you put it on that over-cooked dried-out bargain basement cut of beef you throw in a crock pot for 12 hours and call roast beef.
Next thing you're going to tell us is that you're actually 44 years old.

Stuff my coin clutch and give this savings plan a try so I can have more pinch money. It is a few steps back from the edge of my personal fiscal cliff.
I have already put away loose change to the week 10 amount.

the first half of that plan isn't too bad; but it gets real scary during the second half. There's no way to do that on a fixed income. ;)
Good luck and I hope you stick to this plan - then take a trip with all that money ;)

Of course, I had the get in better shape resolution. Still working on that. I keep planning to use the elliptical and weights, at least 3 times a week.
I have done really well with getting organized. We have a room in our basement that was/is filled with junk, but also important papers and mementos. I've gone through all of it. I've thrown out most of the junk. And, I've finally made use of the filing cabinet we bought. Tax papers all together. Mortgage stuff all together. Legal papers all together. Bday, valentines day cards in a file. We've begun scanning in all those old photos. I found the blueprints for our house.
I even found some old nude pix of myself. Full frontal and up close butt shots. I would never allow an up close butt shot today. I had hidden them in a stack of news scripts I saved. They were some of the first news scripts I wrote. That kinda made me depressed. Man, I really should have gone into porn. ::) What is funny, but often the case, I felt very insecure back then. I would love to look like that again, and have all that hair.
Another interesting thing is reading all the letters from friends and family, from the last 20 years. Everyone is talking about having email at school, but not at home. And, others saying they don't have email yet. I haven't gotten or received a snail-mail letter in over ten years. Oh, I found a pile of those AOL discs they sent on a weekly basis. Also found several of those discs, but I don't have a way now to see what's on them. I forget what they're called. Not floppy discs.
-
Not floppy discs.
although they were not the original 5 1/2 inch floppy discs we used with the apple II e or an IBM, they were called floppy discs - 3.5 inch floppy disk.
