ON THE LIGHTER SIDE - NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS YOU CAN KEEP Are you sick of making the same resolutions year after year that you never keep? Why not promise to do something you can actually accomplish? Here are some resolutions that you can use as a starting point: 1. Gain weight. At least 30 pounds. 2. Stop exercising. Waste of time. 3. Read less. Makes you think. 4. Watch more TV. I've been missing some good stuff. 5. Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow. 6. Take a vacation to someplace important: like, to see the largest ball of twine. 7. Not jump off a cliff just because everyone else did. 8. Get in a whole NEW rut! 9. Start being superstitious. 10. Create loose ends. 11. Not believe politicians. 12. Not swim with piranhas or sharks. 13. Focus on the faults of others. 14. Mope about my faults. 15. Never make New Year's resolutions again. If anyone would like information put in this column please e-mail me at helenmack@buckeye-express.com. Please put Union Journal in the subject line so I don't mistakenly delete your e-mail. Or you may call me at (419)536-2932 and PLEASE leave a message if I'm out or see me at any of our meetings and I'll try to see it's included in the column before the publisher's deadline. If I'm too late I'll try for the next Union Journal issue unless the information is no longer timely. Please get information to me before the first of next month for the next issue. Also please let me know if any corrections need to be made to information in this column. I would very much appreciate it. |
