Jed's Super-Dooper Newbie Question-of-the-Week Thread

My resolution was to stop buying so many books. Needless to say, it's been a complete failure.

The worst part is that I don't even feel bad about it. *skips off to admire buckling bookshelves*

It was a good resolution to break my friend.

I did not make a resolution this year. so i have managed to keep it lol.

My New Year Resolution was to be active in the gym, finish my novel, publish my novel, take the GRE, and get my license.

So far I have been active in the gym, i have finished my novel and I passed my road test. I'm studying for the GRE now and in the process of writing my query letter : )

Holy cow! You make me feel like I better get back to work!

The last legit resolution I made was in 2006 (I think). It was to be more honest. I've since made some pretty awful, dishonest decisions so it's safe to say I've broken it. I recall immediately noticing that trying to live more honestly was a good way to stretch my regular way of living. Not that I was a pathological liar. But could you believe me if I said that?

If you're looking for a good 2015 resolution I'd feel comfortable with you stealing my (2006) one.

Yep...it's already broken...but on the upside I think I made it a whole month before I broke it which is longer than I normally do!

New Question of the Week (Jed is late again )

If your house was burning down, what three objects would you try and save?

Me, myself, and I.

That's was an easy one!

Objects.. not people or pets. Let's see..

Ironically, all the computer files are already backed up, all the important papers are at the office with copies in other places, all the family photos are scanned. There's already a go-bag in the car..

So I guess that leaves my purse, my child's favorite stuffed animal, and my wife's Native American medicine pouch.

That was fun, and made me feel warm and fuzzy about our level of personal preparation.

Once my cats were taken care of (they don't classify as objects 8^) ) I guess it would have to be my medicine box, my iPhone and my car keys.

Nah... Those things can be replaced.

I would save my 1872 bottle of Commandaria, a herringbone sweater made from real herring bones, and my Finnish Lapplander yodeling instructor.

Wait. I don't have any of those things. And one's not even an object! Damn. Why don't I have any of those things?

Okay okay... How about this... My book collection, my record collection and a piece of fruit.

Shhhhhoot. That's more than three. Igotthis Igotthis... Okay...

(squinching eyes shut) ummm... ummm...

How about this? I'll just take one thing: my gratitude for being alive. Things can be replaced.

Besides - the yodeling instructor can take care of himself.

With my little one about to turn one, I didn't DARE make any New Year's resolutions... apart from just trying to enjoy every little moment with her, and write as much as I can about her in my journal.

The journal writing's been pretty slack lately. I'm going to put it by the bed and make sure I write SOMETHING every night before I go to sleep.

edit: doh. Missed the question change.

3 things I'd rescue? My bubba, suitcase of journals, and hard disk of family photos.

My New Years resolution is to finish my book. So far, so good, but I won't know till I either finish it or the year ends.

My Harley, my cheap little computer, and my riding jacket. Everything else is already stored in the bike, so I would be set to ride and write. Gee.....that almost makes me sound prepared.....

I don't make new years resolutions. If I did I'd probably forget to remember to break it...or something.

My laptop, external hard drive drive, and my cash-stash. I'd sacrifice my phone, keys, identification, and a whole slew of other stuff I'm ashamed to admit to just for those three things.

You do realize many of us don't celebrates Christmas, right? Like a huge chunk of the world doesn't.

Is that the new question of the week? How many celebrate Christmas?

How about a new question:

What's the one hobby you've never done, but secretly want to start?

My answer: Hang-gliding.

belly dancing. So badllllly.

You've been talking to AC!

But yes I would love to hang glide also (stealing your thunder?)

Okay FINE!

...

Skateboarding. I can surf but I can't skateboard to save my life.

I have not broken my resolution. I am still exercising and writing

I just haven't been around folks who just assume everyone is Christian. It's a tad alienating.
Love your question!
Hobby that you secretly wanted to start? Damn, I love the question and can't think of one that is secret. Must sleep on it.
