New Year's resolutions anyone?
« on: January 07, 2004, 12:08:00 pm »
Last year I cut out coffee and succeeded.  Was finding I drank 1/2 a pot and couldn't get started without a cup of coffee.  This year, not really set on one yet, maybe cutback on TV.

I have set myself a $25 weekly limit on bar tabs.
 
  This should save me about $100 a month.  :)

Lose the ten pounds I didn't lose last year, plus the couple of pounds I gained.

Oh my god, that is good.  I'd save...damn, a few hundred a month at least.  Getting a budget done and watching my cash expenditures is it, though I haven't done that yet.

My motto for the year is gonna be "Get off your ass and do it".   Stop putting it off.  Stop whining about it.  Stop waiting for someone else to do it. Get off your ass and take care of things.
 
 We'll see how long that lasts   :)

No resolutions for me -- I'm already perfect.

Pare down my CD collection to fit into my available storage space, i.e. 1800 CDs, and keep it that way throughout the year. If I add one, then one must go. It's a nearly impossible task.

At 45 minutes a CD, that is 1350 hours of music or 33.75 working weeks (40 hrs per week) of music.  Quite a bit.  I would have made the year be the limit (2004 this year, you can add one for next year, etc.).  Would be a bit of growing room...

You haven't heard of resolutions to improve others?

I've been working on Mankie for two years now.  Seems futile sometimes.

How do you store all those CDs?  I've been looking around for something to store 1000+ and haven't come up with much.  I don't want multiple bookcases, drawers or do-it-yourself shelves.  I found  this  but I'm a little leery of spending that kind of money on something I haven't actually seen yet.

you can build something like that, if one were so inclined to do so.  it would cost maybe $50 and some time.
