New Year Resolutions?

Lose weight. Lose Houzz. I can't read the home decor forum unless I sign up for "Houzz Advice" and they didn't let me post here with that topic. Changes are coming. I miss Spike.

Seagrass, they are the same as they've always been for me. Although, while not particularly on this forum, there are times I too miss Spike ;0) (using Win 7 desktop for here)

I don't really make New Years resolutions, but if I did I might say I would like to cook more creatively this year instead of our oft repeated same 'ol favorites, and reduce some clutter especially paper type clutter and unneeded clothes clutter.

Hi all! I'm new to the forums but I have an idea why this one doesn't get much response. It's not listed in any of the categories, it's only listed sort of alphabetically in the s's as The Single Life, it took me several visits to find it and I still have trouble remembering where it is on the list to click so I can lurk! Maybe someone should suggest to Spike? that it be made more visible, I know that there are a lot of singles on the forums. Just thought I'd pop in and say something and maybe someone else has had the same experience. My New Year's Resolution is to be proud of being single and not be so quiet. Happy New Year! Charlotte

Any 2018 New Years resolutions for yourself or your garden?

I understand that, Lily. Eating sugar caused the stress in my life. I ate sugar in place of real food so I wouldn’t gain so much weight. I ate it when I was happy, sad, bored, tired, stressed and when my brain needed a fix. I became unhappy, cranky, tired, and totally controlled by it. Sugar and what form I would eat that day became my first thought in the morning. It really took over my life. I wanted to quit and tried every day, but just couldn’t do it. I asked God to help me and He did. The first two weeks were the worst. The cravings were intense and I drank a lot of hot water to help relieve them. After that, it was better. I started exercising after that... 25 minutes a day on my Tony Little glider helped a lot. After two months, the cravings were gone completely. Now, I never think about sugar at all. If I eat honey or syrup, it starts up again, so I don’t use those or artificial sweeteners. I wish I could express how wonderful it feels to get up in the morning sugar free. It’s like every day is fresh and new and I am happy. I hope you can find your way to that, too. Rebecca

I was driving a couple hours to Tupelo because one could make an appointment and he would do it the same day. They closed last year. This shop is run by a difficult woman whose husband does the service. You had to leave your machine for seven weeks. I had a credit from a class cancelled last March due to Covid. I went in before Christmas and she loudly proclaimed to the whole place that I had "dropped out". Huh? Anyway, there is a dealer in the tiny New England town where our lake house is, so my machine may be making that trek. Bernina needs to beef up their dealer network.

The way to get to the old HD forum is to log in on the Convo page, then use the link there. Otherwise you may find you get sent to the Houzz evil twin version instead. Generally if you log in to GW on a page that has no Houzz equivalent, you can see the GW version of other pages, by using the links on the GW pages.

I find that now if I'm not logged in, it's the houzz version or nothing.

I miss Spike too. (sigh) I'm not having any problems with Houzz that I haven't had right along, other than I still can't post a picture from Photobucket. I could, then it changed, and I couldn't, and I still can't. I just stopped trying.

It's not ideal, but at least we still have a Cooking forum, so I threaten to give it up, then cave in and I don't.

New Year's resolutions? Same as always: Eat less, move more. We'll see how that goes this year...

I never make resolutions but this year I'm hoping to not make as much fuss over the Christmas feast. I'm getting too old for it.

I didn't make formal resolutions, but I think trying a keto diet philosophy married with more exercise. Traveling more and stressing less. But most importantly, face decisions head on and stop wavering or procrastinating. That about sums it up.

PS I login through my old GW site too!
