2017 Resolutions (Or Shall We Say.....Ideas For Change, But By No Means "Firm")

In 2017, I will not talk politics in this MB!!!!

OK.....no talking about politics in this thread, or else you will have to do 20 push ups and 10 times around the track.....which of course might work out for you if "exercise" is high on your list!!!

Who am I going to argue with? I don't make resolutions because I never keep them

HC....you and I have lots of potential room for arguments (think big bud!!!), so lets agree to stay pals, and keep our hands off the forbidden fruit.

[CanDB]

One more....I will do my best to initiate interesting discussions. I know, up til now I have not considered the "interesting" part. But this is Can Part II.

I considered making a resolution not to swear and then thought, 'the hell with that'.

Thanks. She cuts the grass too! It started a few years ago. I came home from work on a Wednesday or Thursday evening and was tired. She said the grass needed cutting. I said I would do it on Saturday. She said it needed cutting 'now'. I said again, I'd do it on Saturday. She pressed it and I said if she wanted it cut now to go ahead. About 5 minutes later I hear the lawn-mower. I felt pretty bad about it-- like she stole my man-card, but I had gotten home late and really was tired. After that, I have cut grass maybe 10-times since. It was always done when I got home. It transpired into shoveling. Now, I just stand at the front door, look out the glass in my sweats and drink coffee. It's not one-sided though. I do all the cooking.

Hey....it's all good! Division of labour, right?

Which sort of leads to another resolution of mine, which actually caught on just a month ago.......I cook more myself, and try something new every week. New for me that is. So far I am doing quite good, although my wife does back me up, otherwise some foods would be the wrong temperature, or overcooked! (At some point too many things need to be attended to!!. I'll get better at it after I repeat the menus.....I hope!)

Otherwise I still make steaks, eggs, burgers, pancakes, you know the basics!
