Thank you, xx

I gave up smoking in 1984 and have renewed it every year since.

[Arksided]

I'd like to give up smoking but the truth is i'm not a quitter.

[Musictv2019]

My new year resolution is to lose weight I put on way too much and was really unwell the last couple of months

[Barsel]

A friend of mine called today but there was no sign of her car.
When I asked her where it was, she had left it just around the corner as her NYR is to get more exercise.
Made me laugh really as I live right near the corner, so she probably did an extra 20 steps!

After this difficult 2022 and being ill from 12/12/22 to 3/1/23 my resolution is simply to survive so i can do some of the things I want to achieve.

[Pooka1950]

My resolution is to stop lurking and contribute more!

[gness]

Do, Pooka. We need more red heads on the site. And if 1950 is the year of your birth....it was a great year! If not...sorry. :-)

[rowanwitch]

I'm a red head at the moment... Would you believe Loreal preference shade Dublin!

[Pooka1950]

Not really a redhead I'm afraid but yes all the best people were born in 1950!

[gness]

That's a nice shade, Rowan. In my mind my hair is a deep red still. There is something wrong with the mirrors in this house though. :-(

Indeed they were, Pooka. :-)

[rowanwitch]

Someone's replaced all mine with pictures of some random old woman who seems to be wearing my clothes

Stay away from blended Whiskey, only single malts this year.

[kuiperbelt]

Mine is to be a bit more proactive in raising funds for our local church.

Best of luck but I would thank you not to rattle your tin in front of me.

[kuiperbelt]

/not to rattle your tin in front of me/

We would only ask for a small donation :-)

I am somewhat bemused that you would care to approach me in the first place. Since I am the least likely person to give your church a penny.

My first plea to all men and women who care to hear me is this, "Don't get into debt".

Starve and go to heaven. Get another job and double your tithe. Hold a car boot sale and sell cream teas and cake. Ask the Pastor to take a cut in their stipend. Such measures would indeed be a benediction. In fact, do anything but shake and rattle your tin at me.

It bewilders me why pious people should choose to keep churches they can no longer pay for and furthermore maintain.

Can you not preach and pray behind a hedge or in a sandpit. A coalbunker even?

Of all the religious sects and believers - Spiritualists, Those who venerate the Moon, Feather idolators, Pagans, Stone Circle Supplicants , David Icke Devotees, Fire and Log Worshippers and all other Mumbo Jumbo, yours, the evangelical set, is the most objectionable!

These days one cannot walk into a grave yard without being accosted by an elderly parishioner, only too keen to tell you the roof is falling in, or the lead was stolen on a stormy night. And if that be the case, tell your God to steer the rain clouds around his house or direct a lightning bolt at those perps who would dare take the Plumbum.

Let me assure you my charitable nature extends far and wide, but not so far as to reach God's House!

I know you mean well, but any further appeal from your good self will fall on deaf ears.

Have a good day.
