Any new year resolutions?

[Jen]

Hey there guys and girls :thumbsup: any new year resolutions for 2009
Like giving up smoking or drinking or to drink more :lol: or starting up a health kick or trying to stay away from IIS for at least 2 days :lol: or to post 1000 more posts :rofl:
And second question do u ever keep the ones you have made before :lol:

[leon]

Leon :thumbsup:

[Kevnool]

Cheers Kev.

[Smirnoff]

I'm going to expand my alcoholic horizons.

[Dog Star]

I make the same resolution every year - to be more tolerant of my fellow man ( or woman)
Do I keep it?
Well, I have to make the same resolution every year!:)
In a similar vein but on another note (if you get my drift) - I carry a card permanently in my wallet which reads -
"The reward for patience is more patience"
It's the most "viewed" card in my wallet!:lol:

[Ian Robinson]

Mine is "not to have make one".:D I never keep them anyway .... so why bother ?

[AstralTraveller]

I resolve to give that short a**e Jen more stick on this forum. :P Especially after she pointed out how young she was when I was already attending astrocamps. :mad2: I'm going to say rude things about her telescope: "rude things about her telescope". See I told you I would!!!

She can't find my home address can she Mr Moderator? :scared3::help:

Nah Jen, it's all OK. Luckily, I never keep my resolutions.

[mozzie]

my new years is to but a 17mm ethos and dont let the good wife find out :lol::rofl::lol: other wise there could be a funeral:doh::doh:

mozzie

[xelasnave]

Mine is to get a life...
So I will make a resolution to take up surfing and under water photography...I have given this a lot of thought priced stuff.

Keep away from ladies who confuse me...
AND
Stop mooding over past failures of relationships and keep motivated with various interests that have slipped over the last couple of years.

[leon]

He, Peter you stuffed up already, read your post mate, :) just tell her, you will be better off ;)

Leon :thumbsup:

[mcross]

Hmmm...

I haven't thought of any, Jen.

But now you have got me thinking!....

Mark :D

[Ric]

I haven't thought of any yet Jen but I've still got a few days to go.

One might be to to more imaging but that is more cloud dependent than resolution dependent.

Cheers

Like to get too know half the people at work more than they deserve too be known and the other half less than I should know them or something like that

Tell the boss his real name is Wayne Kerr

Win $30 million lotto

Retire

all in that order

[jungle11]

Stop being depressed about things I cannot change. Think less - live more.
Give my RBI (repetitive bum injury) a rest and get back to work.
Do a starter course in astronomy

Yup....my record on these resolutions is not good...but that means it can only get better right?

[Jen]

Why you little bugger :lol::lol::lol:
:poke::poke::poke:

[Jen]

[Jen]

:lol: lol Phil i used to have that card once till i ripped it up :rofl::rofl:
i knew i should have laminated it :lol:
Hey Phil in 2009 your gonna show jen a pic of your tatt right :)

[AstralTraveller]

Excuse me! I'm not a little bugger. I'm 115kg of bugger.



According to the IIS info we are 707km apart. So you just have to travel 707km in the correct direction, but which direction? I suggest you walk in a circle centred on your place with a radius of 707km. That way your bound to bump into me sooner or later. :P



The similarity is uncanny.

New Years Resolutions
1. Again I'm going to try to give up the dreaded ciggies.
2. I was nice this year, and it didn't get me very far. So next year I'm going to be naughty.

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol:

[badchap]

Visit Kennedy Space Centre, and try to be there for a shuttle launch.

[Jen]

lol JJJ yeah i was thinking of given those things up too but im hopeless at keeping resolutions :D
but giving up ciggies is easy i have done it heaps of times :lol::lol: its staying away from them is the hard part :lol::doh:

[Dog Star]

The Mother of All Hangovers has come a-visitin' Jen:(
Once that's out of the road, I'll be all over it:)

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol: i'll see u in rehab in 2009 then :rofl::rofl:

[Hagar]

I was going to be more tolerant towards fools but being myself, bugger it I will vote to stay my same grumpy self and continue to get in trouble as usual. I may even try to smoke a few more and drink a little extra. I tried to find bad woman but they run too fast.

All the best for the new Year you fools.

[renormalised]

Doug, nothing a taser can't fix:P:D

Or a well aimed cricket ball to the back of the noggin':P:D

Just don't throw it too hard:eyepop::D:P

[Ric]

Just remember Doug the best things in life are

Illegal :D

Immoral :D

and fattening :D

That why I have a problem with resolutions :rofl:

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol: lol Ric and i love them all :D:P:thumbsup:
:wink2::wink2:

[Octane]

Jen,

1. to lose the tummy that I've acquired over the last 8 months by going to the gym like I used to;
2. to regain my fitness and run 10km;
3. To get my photography business up and running;
4. To acquire more L-series glass;
5. To engage in more astrophotography (the last image I took was in November, 2007);
6. To finish processing my images from my trip to Europe and print a coffee table book.

There's more, but, that's a start. :P

Regards,
Humayun

[jjjnettie]

Who ever said that a New Years Resolution had to be to better yourself?:whistle:
Life is way too short, and so long as you take responsibility for your actions, and try not to hurt anyone else on the way, enjoy it how you will.

[Jen]

Sounds like a good plan for 2009 :thumbsup:

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol: i like your way of thinking JJJ :lol: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[toc]

Well, I am now forty, so I get to become a real grumpy old *******. I think I will enjoy that a lot :lol:

Anyway, my main one is to loose about 15 Kg of fat, and to get some level of healthiness. I don't have a plan for that, and fat camps are not for me :sadeyes:

The other resolution is to spend less time piss farting around on the internet...:rofl:

[jungle11]

Hmm...I'm only 27 and I'm already grumpy

[DJVege]

To get my scope(s) out more often!!!! And to finally make use of my toucam setup! Will be easier once I have my own place!!

[Craig.a.c]

My new years resolutions are to lose 10kgs and go down one pants size and get that elusive new job I have been looking for.

[Garyh]

Here here....
Lose a few kgs :thumbsup:
Maybe a beard and a pony tail, just to look different..;)

[snowyskiesau]

Sell the scopes I don't use.

Get a new job, or any job...

[toc]

No offence Gary, but looking at your avatar pic, you look different enough already ;)

[Screwdriverone]

Hi Jen, Hi All,

My resolution for 2009 is to buy a whopping great big 12 inch Skywatcher SW980 or collapsible 12 inch dob. I took a gander at the 12 inch collapsible today and fell in love.....

So I suppose, my resolution is to buy a bigger scope so that I can get more.....resolution?

If thats working in circles then just call me PI.

Cheers

Chris

[Jen]

:clap::clap::clap: hi guys there is some cool resolutions in here i hope you all stick to it :lol: i'll be watching you all :lol::lol::lol:

:)
:cool::cool::cool::cool:
:party::party::party:

[Starkler]

Over the last few years I've noticed my hair thinning on top and its getting to critical stage, so I've resolved to grow more hair in 2009 ;)

Perhaps I'll cultivate ear hair and do a comb-over :confuse3:

[AlexN]

Chris (Aka, 3.14159) Sounds like a good resolution to me! :)

Mine, To stop buying gear, and learn to better use what I've got!

Cheers.
Alex.

[GrahamL]

get that telescope thingy out more If the weather will ever let me :)

keep trying to catch live music as much as funds allow
The last year or so has been great in regard.

Geoff have you tried a paste of goat manure and distilled water ? .. I read a while back some swear by this to regrow hair .

[Screwdriverone]

Thanks Alex, Just shift some of your "cast-off's" my way and I can help you use it better. I tried M42 long exposure the other night at Linden with my junky RA drive with missing teeth and almost got seasick what with all the wobbles and such - AND I was drift aligned.

Might need to buy a replacement gear wheel with teeth still on it.

Cheers

[ving]

to quit smoking... should be easy since i dont. :P

[Jen]

Oh you cheeky bugger :lol::lol: you can quit for me then hahha :thumbsup:

[iceman]

I never used to really set New Years Resolutions, but my Karate instructor inspired me the other night so I sat down and set some goals for 2009.

http://www.mikesalway.com.au/2009/01/07/setting-goals-for-2009

There's just not enough time in the day or days in the week to achieve everything I wrote down, unless I get really focused! It's going to be tough with so many distractions just a click away.

[Jen]

:thumbsup::thumbsup: go for it Mike you have a busy year ahead of you good luck on your journey in 2009 :thumbsup: YOU CAN DO IT :D
