Anyway, I don’t make resolutions on things I really need to do, I try to make them optional things that would improve my life. So I’m trying to get at least an hour of crafting in a week. Yeah, my stuff is crap, but it makes me happy.
Just got a copy of the book by April Winchell called Regretsy for Christmas. It’s a riot… and I highly recommend it. Wish the site was still up.
(fun fact, April is a voice actor and has been in several movies including Who Framed Roger Rabit, Despicable Me 2, and a ton of TV series.)
April What’s’erface is a big meanie who says bad things about the things other people make. So what if they’re funny looking, weird, or stupid, there is no reason to laugh about it.
@chienfou I used to check out that site- I’ll look for the book. April’s father was Paul Winchell, a really famous ventriloquist and voice actor. He voiced Tigger.
@sammydog01 …and Jerry Mahoney…
(spent some time looking around at stuff on Paul, Jay Johnston, Jeff Dunham etc and came back to see you had posted this while I was off…)
@sammydog01@SenorYEETZ@narfcake
reminds me of a kitchen towel we gave my daughter:
Good moms let you lick the beaters
Great moms turn off the mixer first.
@f00l “They” actually had a weather segment tonight on the local news talking about it. While the Southernly winds are great for our temps, we need the Northern air to get that shit out of out fine state.
I vowed to give up Pepsi. That lasted 7 1/2 days. I broke. And after that sweet delicious bubbly goodness was devoured, I really felt like I was so close to getting over the top of the hill. Another couple days and I probably wouldn’t have the strong cravings anymore.
@ruouttaurmind soda is tough. It took about two weeks for my addiction to lessen. This was after I had spent a week cutting consumption in half. I just went cold turkey. After about a month I started to feel fine.
It’s been probably around 4 years since I quit drinking soda everyday. Occasionally I’ll have one here and there. It was probably an entire year without drinking any soda at all.
@therealjrn I get the Pepsi Throwback or Real Sugar variety when it’s available. My local supermarket only carries it sporadically for some reason.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@RiotDemon This is a relatively recent habit for me which makes it all the more frustrating it’s such a challenge to beat. Only the last 5 or 6 years. Prior to that I was a strict water or unsweetened iced tea drinker. I will beat this. I had one can yesterday, now I’m back on the wagon for another try.
I don’t do resolutions, but I do usually give up things for Lent. I find the set end date makes it more manageable, while 40 days is still long enough that it might become a more permanent change. I quit soda this way.
I was waiting for this topic to come up since I don’t like to fill up space with random threads. But none of you made one. So I did.
@sammydog01
I like random threads!
Why wait for a new year for a new resolution?
@Cythwulf It’s the only time I actually think about it.
@sammydog01 That’s fair. It’s not a new years thing, but I’m trying to just make changes to my life when I identify issues.

@sammydog01 I am the same with cooking and baking:I have fun making it but it is a dice roll if it will be tasty. Weeeeeeeeeee!
@mollama Let me know how your next project comes out!

@chienfou @sammydog01 Amazon review:
Ha ha. Somebody saw their project in it?

@chienfou I just spent waaaay too much time watching video clips. That guy sure was talented.
I usually try to eat better for a new years resolution but, I never stick with it.
@SenorYEETZ
/image eating better
There are other options:
/image eating batter
/image eating butter
@narfcake

@cinoclav One left:

(What is a botter anyway?)

@narfcake Dutch sailing vessel… sounds a little chewy.
@SenorYEETZ How are the vegetables coming?

@SenorYEETZ Someone brought this thread back to life and I saw your name. How’s it going?
I stopped doing resolutions. I just try to fix my fucked up life when I think about it.
I stopped doing the, how do you improve on perfection?
@cranky1950 haha I hear that!
@cranky1950

There is always MOAR.
@cranky1950 maybe start with spelling?

@carl669 BOOBIES??
@moonhat those too.
Given that all of N TX is under heavy attack from evil mountain juniper pollen, my resolution is to simply
/giphy Breathe
@f00l That shit is blowing up into Oklahoma. Keep your Texan pollen on your side of the Red River please.
@therealjrn
I told the over-the-border-pollen-vanguard to ask for you specially.
@f00l “They” actually had a weather segment tonight on the local news talking about it. While the Southernly winds are great for our temps, we need the Northern air to get that shit out of out fine state.
@f00l did you accomplish your resolution?
I resolve to zip up my jacket more often.
I’ve got to lose some weight first, then I’ll start zipping.
@therealjrn did you accomplish your resolution?
@elimanningface Nosey. Yes, yes I did. Some. lol
I typically don’t do new year’s resolutions. I did this year. I resolved to become a roaring alcoholic. So far I’ve been just putting it off.
Oh well. I can start tomorrow…
@jst1ofknd did you accomplish your resolution?
I long ago resolved to not make resolutions. Been successful ever since!
@mike808 sounds like an oxymoron!

Well, tomorrow is a new day…

@RiotDemon @ruouttaurmind Soda is tough, but thankfully I just drink pop.
@ruouttaurmind @therealjrn
/giphy what flavor Coke do you want?
@RiotDemon @ruouttaurmind I like the good shit from Mexico, with the “real” sugar…but I can’t drink any sugar any more.

@ruouttaurmind soda is no joke to quit. I wish you luck!
@RiotDemon I appreciate your encouragement.
@therealjrn
@ruouttaurmind did you accomplish your resolution?
@elimanningface
I promise that tomorrow I will stop procrastinating.
@rtjhnstn Maybe Monday would be better, a fresh start on a new week and all that.
@rtjhnstn did you accomplish your resolution?
@Mothersnakes @rtjhnstn I usually try to wait until Wednesday to stop procrastinating because then it’s easy to see I can wait until the weekend.
