Sometimes I make resolutions, sometimes not...
Chinese restaurant, chopsticks, yes.
Reading in bed, no.
We run off of rooftop antenna and use remote for the tv.
Last xray I had was early last year when I fell at work and hurt my shoulder. No visible damage but it hasnt been as strong or usable as before. Oh well.....
Happy New Year Day to all!

Today’s Question:

What’s your attitude towards New Year Resolutions?
I usually make them, and do fairly well at keeping them, for a time at least
I usually make them but rarely/never keep them
I sometimes make them
I gave up making them long ago
I’ve never made them XXX, they are a waste of time.
Other:

Extra Credit Question:

Please answer yes or no to each of the following questions.

(a) If you’re eating in a Chinese restaurant do you use chopsticks? Yes or no.

(b) Do you usually read in bed before falling asleep at night? Yes or no.

(c) When turning off your TV, do you also turn it off at the power point? Yes or no.

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you had an X-ray and (if you’re okay with sharing) what body part was X-rayed? When I went through TSA at the airport awhile back. Body part, hmmm, don't know, but they were all laughing.

Just for fun:

How do you plan to spend your day today? Watching the Rose Parade on TV, football, folding clothes, shopping for bare root roses, dinner, more TV, bed. CD off and on.

Happy first day of the year everyone, let's all enjoy this new year together...

Today’s Question:

What’s your attitude towards New Year Resolutions? - Never cared for them.
I usually make them, and do fairly well at keeping them, for a time at least
I usually make them but rarely/never keep them
I sometimes make them
I gave up making them long ago
I’ve never made them
Other: - I think I know why they call them Resolutions.. You come up with Solutions one year, then you don't keep them, so you do Re-Solutions for the following year..

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you had an X-ray and (if you’re okay with sharing) what body part was X-rayed? - September of 2011, before the second surgery on my right knee. I fractured/broke the knee cap (The patela) in May of 2011..

Just for fun:

How do you plan to spend your day today? - Relaxing.
