I'll be kissing @drdoggie00 under the mistletoe at the stroke of Midnight. Of course, this will be in my dreams, but still, I'm very much looking forward to it.

There will be no romantic relationships between members of this forum per community terms and conditions.

Ha ha ha...Maverick beat you to the keyboard and we all know.

I have no plans! But I have some goals that I would to achieve next year.

Hopefully, I'll take work more seriously. Currently, I'm in a sweet spot where I have challenging enough work and can work on it independently, and don't have as much leadership/team responsibilities. But next year, bracing myself for more difficult projects and increased responsibilities. I'm going to try to go into the office more. Even though it's not required, I find myself more productive and engaged in the office.

I'd also like to get on a consistent exercise and sleep routine. My diet is good, but just need to round out the rest. Also when going into the office, I found myself more likely to go a class or gym nearby after work.

In general, I'd like to be more mature and responsible. Maybe one day I'll be ready to get married.

I'm not a resolution/goal setting kinda lady. I do what I need to do, I buy what I need to buy. Right now, my fancy "new" car needs tires. I also think it might need brakes because they make some noises that make me uncomfortable sometimes. So my son is going to check to see if I need brake or tires first, and I'll be buying whichever it is that I need the second week of January. And the other the second week of February.

I just bought tires for our sports car. I usually buy them from one of the warehouse clubs, but I was lucky to find the exact original replacement about 1/2 off clearance from Tire Rack.com because they are two year old production. I still had to pay a local shop to install them.

Hopefully your son can help you out by installing the brake rotors and pads himself as it isn't hard.

No plans for New Years really. We just bought a 75 inch tv so if the hubby can get that baby mounted to the wall, I would love to just order some take out and watch a good movie with the family.

My goals for next year would be to pay off all the credit card debt. I am close, thanks to Mystery shopping. I should be able to do it but i need to keep my spending down this year.

Eating healthier is always on the list. I have been exercising consistently with the meta quest for the past year so possibly just increase the intensity of those workouts this year, make them longer and more intense.

Hubby retired years ago (like20) and is busy all the time enjoying life.
My goal is to figure that out. I'm still working because on days off (like today) I do nothing!

I will be standing on a stepstool, holding a sprig of mistletoe over my honey Service's head while covering his handsome face with smooches galore.

If your path dictates you walk through hell, do it as though you own the place. -unknown

And here I thought I liked you more.

Can I just say right now what an amazing woman you are?!

Okay, lovebirds. May I please get a wedding invite whenever the nuptials happen?

Maverick, You're so cute.. I'm a mechanic. I did it for 30 years and now I'm disabled because of it. I can still do brakes with a little help getting up and down off my brake stool.. lol I could do tires easily, if I had a tire machine, and a balancer. I'll pay someone to mount the tires, I'm also buying TPM sensors just in case the "tire guys" aren't careful. NO one is going to charge me $100 each for them when I can buy a set of 4 for $25 or less.

I asked my other son to do the brake inspection because I haven't seen him or his family in 3 months and I wanna play with Archer (my brand new shiny 3 year old grandson).

You can, but you know I'll say, "Thank you," and then proceed to give you 54 reasons why your assessment is incorrect. -chuckles-

Let's follow the conversation; we don't want to make mav hurl.

I plan on continuing to live, continuing to learn, continuing to care, and to profit sufficiently to do each of those in comfort but not luxury.

I down voted this. I hope that didn't report your post, Doc. LOL

We are spending New Year's Eve at home as usual. 6 ft. Chicken Cutlet hero, salads and appetizers (frozen), cake, cookies and pistachio shots, lol. Playing poker and 21 with cash wagers. My Mom is usually the big winner. :-) Then watching the ball drop and some neighbors running outside banging pots.

The neighbors here shoot guns.. I'm always afraid that they're going to cause some damage here on my land..

That's when you shoot back.

When I hear my neighbor firing at his target I think, ah, the sound of Freedom!

We've got a group of family and friends headed to a casino for amusement, a concert, general debauchery and all that...spending the night so we don't have to drive home....continuing our New Years Day tradition of brunch and laziness, maybe catch the Rose parade or the Mummers, have always enjoyed both.

You seem to have gotten the wrong idea.. I've no problem with gun ownership or target shooting, I have done both. I have also hunted, though I don't that anymore because of a traumatic experience. What I have an issue with is idiot shooting guns into the air. Bullets go up, bullets come down, and something gets damaged or killed.

Bare, until I moved out of the state of CA, from the time I was 16 until I turned 55 we camped at the Rose Parade route every New Years Eve. We partied all evening, slept on the blue line, and made coffee and hot chocolate for everyone around us in the morning. I'd like to do it in a motorhome one time, it seemed kinda nice when Satan and her hubby did it one year in one of her misguided attempts to suck me in.

Well, that's not what you originally said. Yes, no bullets should be fired into the air.
