OBTAINABLE RESOLUTIONS

**************************

Are you sick of making the same resolutions year after year and yet you never keep them? Here are some resolutions that you can actually accomplish! Enjoy! :-)

10. Read less.

9. I want to gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds.

8. Stop exercising. Waste of time.

7. Watch more TV. I've been missing some good stuff.

6. Procrastinate more.

5. Drink. Drink some more. :lol:

4. Start being superstitious.

3. Spend more time at work.

2. Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.

and last but not least...

1. Take up a new habit: maybe smoking!

You should have all come to my BIL's to share our Christmas virus . . . first time that I can ever remember having lost weight over Christmas. And you know how the last thing you had before you "lost it" (so to speak) becomes the last thing that you want to eat? Well, the last thing that I had was a milk chocolate truffle. This troubles me. Surely it will help my weight loss goals for this year . . . but dang!!! It's CHOCOLATE!!

I feel for you Emily, that would be murder for me. Mine is nice and all but she pushes her views....religion and beliefs are a main one, she always tries to start a debate. If it is not that she will just start acting emotional. Like John's dad works a lot and so if he doesn't come home exactly when she tells him, when he gets there and we are there she will get mad and then cry and it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Plus she always is pushing to take natural herbs and drink this all healing juice she claims I should give it to my cancer patients at work since chemo isn't doing them a ounce of good....I have nothing against people taking herbs or taking anything for whatever reason but don't push it on me repeatedly....she even sends us stuff to our house....

ALL the decoration are GONE! AWAY!! Feels like Christmas never happened!! :rolleyes:

We don't take our decorations down till the Epiphany, so we've got a few days left .... but the kids have to get their stuff out of the living room today ... the house has been trashed long enough!

Maybe my sister looks like your sisters - 'cause I don't think she looks that much like me. However, the pic of your oldest daughter looks a LOT like my niece.

Now that would be funny .... how old are they? :lol:

Well, I've been gone all morning .... have to go make my blackeyed peas and hog jowls ... any Southerners here? My family is from the south, so we have always had the blackeyed peas on New Year's Day.

I like pork and applesauce, but I've never been a saurkraut fan!

As much as I like black eyed peas, you'd think I'd make them more than once a year!

I don't do saurkraut either....not my thing. I don't feel too good either after dinner. I think my cosmo's are catching up to me....I think this Silly is going to camp on the couch for the remainder of the day.

Ack, that would drive me nuts!!

I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. We went to a party at a friend's house and had a pretty good time. I always get a bit teary eyed watching the ball drop on TV and hearing Auld Lang Syne and seeing people hugging and kissing in Time Square. Last night I was getting particularly misty and sniffly for whatever reason. I had only had a couple of glasses of wine and definitely wasn't drunk but I really didn't want to look like that girl who gets emotional and starts bawling about everything when she's drunk. NOBODY wants to be that girl! :lol: So I had to run into the bathroom and compose myself. I just imagined somebody asking me 'what's wrong?' and me sobbing 'It's ... just...so...beautiful'. I'm not sure Ryan and I would have been invited next year!

Thankfully I was able to get over it and partied without tears until the wee hours. I hardly drank at all but I feel hung over from lack of sleep. I'm not sure how I was able to study all night and then write an exam in the morning a few years ago while in University. I can hardly think straight enough to do the laundry today.

Happy 2008!!!

I would like to wish everyone here a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

I really do love to pop in here and get my silly "fix" for the day. Thanks for that.

AND, I have enough blackeye peas for everyone. Carla, don't forget to put a nickle under your bowl of peas, it will bring you prosperity.

Say What??!!?? Hoglets in my hair??!!?? Did my hair look that bad??? Ummmm . . . plus, we were at the mall. Only service animals allowed and my hoglets are not seeing-eye-hoglets. Had to hide them in my purse. :ph34r::lol:

Now that would be funny .... how old are they? :lol:

My sister is . . . <have to stop, ponder, do the math> . . .48. Her daughter will be turning . . . <carry the one> . . . 31? in about a week. Yeah, if you noticed, my sister started a little young. And when I say your daughter looks like my neice, I meant about 10 years ago.

A nickel under your bowl of peas!!!! I've never heard of that. Brings prosperity??? In this house, it would bring an argument over who gets to keep the nickel. Then I would have to produce another nickel to keep it fair . . . and now I'm down ten cents!!

have to go make my blackeyed peas and hog jowls ...

Hog jowls? Like, old man, hanging down from chin, fleshy jowls? Whoa.... :o:lol:

NOBODY wants to be that girl! myself. I just imagined somebody asking me 'what's wrong?' and me sobbing 'It's ... just...so...beautiful'.

I have this exact problem, not when the ball drops, but when we are at a movie. Funny, it happened today...we all went to see the Waterhorse. Very good escapist fantasy, a little sappy, and boy, they get me every time. My DS is looking at me out of the corner of his eye, I can just TELL even though it's dark, to see if I'm tearing up at the end. Nothing really sad, just a little poignant, and I'm willing the tears to stay unformed. Unbelievable. I always cry...my kids have more fodder at which to roll their eyes (dig the prep. use?!)... :lol::rolleyes:

Ha! I'll put it under my hubby's bowl!! I don't work, so he needs to be the one who's prosperous!

.....Six children...and she says she doesn't work.... ;)

Carla, don't forget to put a nickle under your bowl of peas, it will bring you prosperity.

I wonder if that's like our (English) tradition of putting a coin in the Christmas Pudding?

Hey, we can meet, too! Chloe and I will be going to NY on the 9th, can you be there?

Yeah, yeah, no problem, where are we meeting???

......OH.....WAIT!!....HANG ON!!!.... :rolleyes: ....hubby will go BALLISTIC if I tell him I'm off to New York for a few days to meet some friends.......so will the bank manager :lol:<_<

I usually serve them over rice, but they're good plain as a side dish, too. Basically, a black eyed pea is a bean .... they are seasoned with the ham cooking with them and with some garlic .... maybe a little lemon juice, too.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
