I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I’m not a clock watcher.

I will try to cut back on having ten e-mail addresses.



Got any?

There are routers you can program to limit internet time. You have to log in to get access outside the LAN, and can set daily limits per user.

I usually don't do New Year resolutions because unless I'm 100% committed to doing something, then I know I'll never really go through with it all of the way.

I don't do them either. It's just one more thing to not do.

copied & pasted from Forbes article :

"The reason new year's resolutions fail is because when we set them -- when we decide to lose weight, go to the gym, save more money, get our house or apartment in great shape and fix our biggest failings -- we lack an essential requirement for any ambitious undertaking.

It's easy to say "I'm going to read a book every week in 2017" or "I'm going to go to the gym three times a week, all year" but when real life intervenes, the missing ingredient will be our new year's resolutions' downfall.

The critical element that's missing from almost everybody's new year's resolutions is the answer to the question "Why?""

A quote from Mr X that I like :

"A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other."

My New Year's resolution is the same as last year's and every year since I learned to spell the word, back when cars had fins and shitloads of chrome trim......

Make no resolutions whatsoever.

I'm going to make a resolution to not watch Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Devil Wears Prada, An Officer and A Gentleman, or any other chic show rerun for the 10 millionth time with Mrs. FSB. From this moment on it will now be known as guitar time. :wink:

You know, some of those Lifetime Network movies are pretty good. :P
