Does anyone want to talk about New Years resolutions?

My only resolution this year is to have more fun!

Last year I worked my ***ass off, my business became really busy when covid wasnt getting in the way!

With all the despair, its made me take a look at life and rethink things. I want to laugh more, do more for myself, have more fun! My hobby became my business so I feel I need another fun outlet that definitely wont become my business. Something thats not goal orientated.

My other resolutions are finish the first year of my degree, and survive a Malinois puppy, buy a house/land, and convert a van into a campervan.

Yeah I dont usually do new years resolutions. I do different stuff whenever I want.

But I guess my new years resolution would be to learn to "adult"
I'm trying to do more adult things
Not like drinking or boys but. Like maybe starting to save money and stuff.

My goals are usually in the now goals so current im only concerned about getting through the short term since that's hard enough.
Anytime I save up money I have to pay a large emergency vet bills or I give all my money away. I was saving money to get my cat an elective surgery that will improve her life when my big sister told me she was 2 months behind on rent, leaving her husband and had no own too watch the kids. I used all my money to pay her bills and I spent all this time at her place looking after her babies but my own babies suffered and that cat who I was saving money for got very very sick and almost died. Still isn't in the clear. I didnt know she was sick either because I was gone a full week watching my sisters kids.

I constantly do that. My sister ended up in a bad way cause shes irresponsible and everyone always knows I'll help anyway but that doesn't always help myself. So my short term goals is to get my cat well, get her the 2 surgeries, and get better and self care. Sometimes I just dont do basic self care. Not sometimes. Most the time.
I won't take care of my hair so I cut it.

Things like that.

Sorry to hear that Nevermind. That's so very kind of you to help out your sister. I hope your cat gets better soon!

Have you ever cut off a family member.

Oops

Have you ever cut off a family member.

Yes.

My dad's family has cut off one of my dads cousins, she did something shady involving a will and cheating her siblings out of inheritance. I dont know the details, it happened 30 years or so ago, way before I remember or was aware of things.

Personally, I cut off my cousins, kinda long story but she asked me to pick the kids up from school and baby sit for a few hours several times. I didnt mind until the kids started having breakdowns thinking mum wasnt coming back for them, they were staying with me way past bedtime, when she was supposed to pick them up at 3.30pm. I found out she was cheating on her husband, he eventually found out.
I told her how the kids were really upset, then all when I was supposed to pick the kids up, hubby was there, they laughed it all off, made me look an idiot and we never spoke again.

About a year later, her sister who we were all good with, had a baby, saw the baby once after it was born, then she started to distance herself from us. Her sister was threatening her, and my grandma, with the old 'its me or them' crap. her sister chose her, my grandma chose us.

Havent spoken to either cousins since. And never want to, even though their trying to work them slimey way back in. Theyre older than me but incredibly immature! Not worth it.

There should be a law that if you are a politician, you're just not allowed to have any investments in anything.

I completely agree.

I the UK at least it seems to be becoming a bit more obvious with brexit and the virus.

All the politicians who wanted brexit stand to profit in someway, whether it be less tax, or policy changes. Then in the midst of the virus, politicians seem to be awarding contracts to each others partners, family, or friends. Its shady as ****fuck and I hate it.

Purely sociological, honest question:

I've been thinking about something I heard a historian say about the middle ages.

Death related to pregnancy and childbirth was apparently REALLY common back in the old days.

I wonder if there really is a lean in men to be more superficial if it's based on that. Wanting to mate with women who have physical characteristics geared towards surviving childbirth (wide hips). I mean, that's probably not an original idea, but something that occurred to me.

I think there is a unconscious attraction to women with wide hips for that reason.

On a similar note I fear that with all the c sections, women with wide hips will become less and less.

I think it’s only the west that is a bit superficial with looks. But then again, people around the world like different things. In England, pale and ginger used to be the trend. After that I think it was larger people, as it was seen as a statement that that person had a healthy supply of food.

I think BA1 is wrong. Fake magazine world is all about looks and status. But in the real world people don’t look like models and they fall in love based on personality (mostly)

Will someone who had the coronavirus tell us the timeline and symptoms.

4 years ago I had a terrible cough. So bad that I couldn’t walk 100 metres without being out of breath. I fractured ribs from coughing. ( I regularly ran 10k at the time) it lasted 3 months at its worst, was 6 months before I could actually exercise again and 18 months before it completely went away ( I had coughing fits where I just couldn’t stop)

Obviously it wasn’t COVID 19 but it was hell all the same. Maybe you cough is something similar. Have you been tested? Is your government testing? Get a test for Covid if you can. And get well soon.

What does the world see when they look at the USA now?

Extreme is the word I would use for the US.

Everyone seems to be extreme left or extreme right.

I think it’s sad to see. I think trump is the wrong president, I think he’s suffering mental decline, he’s egotistical And narcissistic. And because of that he has no filter and says things that he should not be saying. He’s incoherent most of the time. A terrible communicator.

But I also think the media is toxic and skewed. Only writing for the shock factor, again, very extreme and whipping up hate for either side.

I wish America could be more together. The UK too. Divide and conquer. And they sure are dividing us.

QUESTION

My car is 17 years young. Bought for £1000, and I've had her about 7 years now. Shes a dream to drive, no major work on her. 96k miles. Ive had my moneys worth from her. And I have no plans to sell her until I need a bigger vehicle, I'll be going from a small hatchback to a crafter lwb van. And even then I might keep her if i can afford to.

Personally I dont like the commitment of large monthly payments. I dont see the point for vanity reasons. I would rather enjoy my life, cars get me from A to B. And the van will allow me to travel and see the world.

I think the trick is to not care what people think. My neighbours are constantly leasing new cars. Trying to out do each other with audi's and SUV's. Its all about status, but are they happy? Do they have money to do the things they love? No, because my neighbour has had to come out of retirement and take another job just to keep up with the Jones's.

Do what makes you happy.
