New Year Resolutions?

Only four more days of 2013 left so has anyone made any resolutions? What are you going to attempt?
Stop smoking?
Learn a bit more of something new?
Lose some or even gain some weight?
Be less bad tempered and try to be a bit more laid back when things go wrong? (Might try for that myself!)

Anything else you wish to do?
Or have you nothing to try for, or just not bothered?

How about we each bring in 50 new members this year to this forum?

 

That is a great resolution and it is achievable.
This is a great second home.
Lets do it.

 

Always say thanks to members who have taken the time to reply to a question.

 

Well, considering you have put me in the spotlight Cindy, I will tell you that the first thing to do now I have been retired for six months, is to get off the backside and start doing some serious work on this pile of bricks I live in, it needs some serious renovation. (After I have had me afternoon nap that is )

Good point Bob, it never hurts to say a thank you, and sometimes I wish folks would at least come back and say it after you have helped them. I know a lot do, but there are the odd few who don't.

And as for bringing new members in, 'tis something I always try for whenever the opportunity arises.

I would like to try banking on my computer, but I like to `download ` items.
My daughter uses hers for banking and ebay.
The `experts` on here must remember that `some of the members` know practically nothing about
computing. I myself have had only two hours tuition, way back in 2007 !
I would like to thank all the moderators and staff for their `input` in 2013.
Wish you all good health in 2014 !

 

Well I was one of the last converts to online banking and I am a working tech in the industry. It wasn't I was afraid to because I know an encrypted site is safer than a portable telephone
but I just didn't want to for some reason. Running a business I used to buy a roll of stamps every 2 months. Now I buy a book of 20 once a year. Get it?
Now I know sooner or later they will charge us and some online merchants already are but I was buying stamps anyway and this is safer and faster to do.
Go for it manofkent. you will never look back!

 

Internet bank dealing is reasonably safe as Rich said it is a lot safer than using a mobile phone. However a lot of folks have a separate account just for internet use and maintain a reasonable level of cash in it, that way if things go seriously wrong they don't lose everything.

In 2014 I resolve to...

1) Set up a new work station/area.

2) Start writing a new book.

3) Refrain from being grumpy with Australian computer technicians...Lol

4) Build a new computer for myself.

5) Be kind to small children, animals,....er.. and Australian computer technicians!

One last resolution for 2014 is to not only continue to use on line banking, but to also endeavour to make sure that the numbers I see in the right hand column are both large, and not of the negative variety!

 

I second that!

 

Am not making any resolutions then there is nothing to break and no disappointments.

 

Smart thinking, Snoopy.
Where have you been?
Happy New Year.

 

Nice to know someone missed me. I had visitors from downunder for 3 months & away for a bit & other personal stuff which kept me busy.
