I'LL TRY TO KEEP THIS SHORT AND SWEET.
I DON'T MAKE RESOLUTIONS, AT LEAST THE CONVENTIONAL ONES.
THINK OF IT THIS WAY...
YOU MAKE A RESOLUTION GENERALLY TO STOP DOING SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE. YOU START THE NEW YEAR AND MOST PEOPLE FAIL BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH.
MY RESOLUTION IS TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T DONE BEFORE. THIS GIVES ME THE WHOLE YEAR TO SUCCEED.
WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE. SPEND THE YEAR TRYING NOT TO DO SOMETHING, OR SPEND THE YEAR JUST TO DO ONE THING?
I ALWAYS SUCCEED BECAUSE WITHOUT HAVING ONE PARTICULAR TRAIT , HABIT OR FLAW TO FOCUS ON, I CAN SUCCEED BY DOING THE SIMPLEST OR THE HARDEST THING I CHOOSE.
I LOVE HEARING ALL THE RESOLUTIONS BEING MADE ON NEW YEARS EVE, ONLY TO SEE THEM BROKEN THE VERY NEXT DAY.

JUST MY $.02 WORTH.

ANYWAY, HAVE A HAPPY, SAFE AND ENJOYABLE NEW YEAR !!!

I WILL quit chew.:wall: :crying: :drool:

Redlite--that makes two of us.

Saying goodbye to SKOAL.:af:

but I still cant stop chewing nicotine gum!:smash: :smash: :smash:

Stop smoking butts.

1/1/04. all done. hopefully for ever :smash: :smash:

Yup, definately bring Jimbo fishing...
I got a boat just prime for cod, just get yer butt up here to Mass!
My big resolution is to get out of the restaurant biz...It killed one marriage; I'm darned if it's going to kill the relationship I'm in now.
On the positive side, now that I don't have a house anymore I plan to FISH!
OH, ps... now that I live two miles from the Watertown run, I plan to catch many, many, many herring.
Plan to take many of you monkeys out on the boat that I've been working on for the last three years.
Last, but not least, I will continue to enjoy being happy. I haven't felt this good in five years.
HOHOHO
Rick
PPS watch out for Mikey...He should be up and running on the board in the next few days!!!

Joseph, I got some news for you. Impossible to do all three.

Meet girl = you gain 50 lbs cuz you're all fat and happy and you don't feel the need to stay in shape to attract a mate

meet girl = you no fish more cuz she no let you.

You know what, I'm going to change my resolutions. I am going to fish, move my arse around, and get ripped.

Hey, supposed if you weren't married and were interested in guys, will that what u stated apply to this?:hee:

Notaro,

Are you coming out of the closet ? :eek: :eek: :eek:

how is that? Your stamina increased? Ran like a flash?

I plan on stayin off the smokes for good. Picking up my patches tommorow morning.

And I hope to fish with more of you guys :)

Notaro, I quit (we did, my wife, too) 7 weeks ago. As far as stamina you have to speak to her about that. As far as running like the flash, well only when my youngest one screams, "Daddy, the toilet's clogged and the water is running all over the floor." I can't speak for anyne else, but I used to drink a considerable amount when I smoked, too. One beer, one smoke, one beer, one smoke...you might see how that could get one in a rut. With that behind me now, I see all that I put aside to feed a nasty habit and I'm happy making up for lost time. Mostly, my kids are happy about it. This was a New Year's Resolution from many years back that finally came to be. Good luck to everyone else who is quitting or going to.

Fish more with wife & kids.

Work less and make more, I'll be happy with just the first one.

Scout better woods & water.

Learn how to use my GPS to the fullest.

Tie and throw jigs.

Skish.

Smell burnt drag washers :)

to dress as classy as fish wee wee

to buy scuba gear and stalk Notaro and pull on his line

to bust out of the beach like a nuclear clam and scare the clammer

to own as much PC stuff as John

to learn to turn out a bunch of pencil poppers

to catch a bunch more stripers than last year

not to get mad cow disease but still eat steak

to hike more often: as the answer my friend is blowing in the wind

to use my new (sled) toyota camry to find more spots and hookup with other members to fish with....

that'll about cover it...

:D

Same resolutions I made last year...NONE...Cause I never do what I say I am going to anyway....LOL:smash: :D

hey, raven u scuba??

resolutions:
get in better shape, and get a job!!!

Follow Goose to all those new spots he finds:happy: :happy: :happy: and help him catch all the big fish.

i grew up in Newton actually... but did my SCUBA thing in La Jolla
california many years ago- and then became a mountain man.
always wanted to take up the sport again. CASH flow restrictions
have prevented that idea from materializing thus far.:mad:

cool

18 hrs off the chokes and things are good. I am gonna have to get me some nicorette tomorrow. These first few days are gonna be tough :smash:

Beachwalker: take a hot shower, or a long hot bath. Get some valerian tea, a root of some kind, that will calm the nervous system. I'm also a big believer in Epsom salt--this too will help the body relax. When I'm feeling like ass I head for the tub.
Good luck. I dropped the burners three years ago.


I am not an angel though for I still chew the SKOAL.

Not a safe alternative to butts, highly addicting and one nasty habit.

:smash:
