New Year's Resolutions
The ClubHouse: Archives: New Year's Resolutions
Grooch | Tuesday, December 25, 2001 - 02:32 pm   After reading the no smoking thread and seeing so many people committed to quiting smoking and actually doing it, it kind of inspired me. Just wondering if anyone is going to make any New Year's resolutions and what they might be. |
Willsfan | Tuesday, December 25, 2001 - 11:08 pm   I intend to eat healthier, exercise more, get out of the house more often and spend more time with other people. I'm going to read more, watch less TV, and spend more time outdoors. |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, December 29, 2001 - 12:13 am   My resolution is to not make a New Year's resolution |

Grooch | Saturday, January 12, 2002 - 04:07 pm   My resolution is not to eat any ketchup this year.  |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 07:33 pm   I'm sorry you feel that way |
Jbean | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 07:37 pm   I am going to try to find a church that i like and start going, and i'm going to only drink diet soda (even when i am having a bad day), last i am going to try to keep my house cleaner (slob city) |
Max | Sunday, January 13, 2002 - 09:42 pm   May all who make resolutions have the resolve to keep them. I don't make New Year's resolutions. I also don't diet. Nevertheless, I have taken steps to make positive changes in my life and have been steadily losing weight since August. Wanna call those actions resolutions? Okay by me. I just call it living in a positive, healthier light. Cheers! |
Karuuna | Monday, January 14, 2002 - 12:52 pm   My New Year's resolution is to live up to one of my favorite quotes: "The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul." -G.K. Chesterton |
Ketchuplover | Monday, January 14, 2002 - 07:12 pm   Sorry Grooch. I was only trying to help. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone here. |
Grooch | Monday, January 14, 2002 - 07:24 pm   Ketchuplover I was only joshing with you. I already failed at my ketchup resolution.  |
Jenhavins | Tuesday, January 15, 2002 - 02:25 pm   My new year's resolution is to have a new home built by the end of the year. My husband has been dragging his feet for over a year. Well, we just bought 26 acres and in 6 months, we will start pouring the slab. We are building a log home with windows on one side. The plans are at www.satterwhite-log-homes.com and the home is the Texan with loft. I know you probably don't care, but this was the same resolution I had last year and it never came true. I am so excited, I am about to burst! |

Grooch | Tuesday, January 15, 2002 - 05:43 pm   Jen, your plans sound wonderful. After living in the city these past 10 years, I am so jealous that you have 26 acres. And soon, a log cabin to boot. That is a true dream come true. Good luck! And I hope you keep us updated on your progress. Who knows? Maybe there are some contractors or builders around here that can offer you advice when you need it. Aussiedeb, congrats on the college! It takes a lot to get back into the groove of school. And you are in good company. Both Wargod and Buttercup are back in school too. Some words of advice, don't let Tess know about this. Otherwise you may find some pop quizzes in your folder. P.S. Aussiedeb, good luck on your other resolutions too!  |
Grooch | Tuesday, January 15, 2002 - 05:44 pm   Hey Ketchup! You speaking to me or to Jenhavins?  |

Ketchuplover | Tuesday, January 15, 2002 - 07:13 pm   Grooch-I was speaking to jenhavins,however if I were you I'd assume ketchplover was talking to me too |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, January 16, 2002 - 06:12 am   WTG Aussie! I always wanted to go back to school to further my education, but I am just a little too scared of tests now, and the longer in the tooth I get, the more unattainable it seems to become. It takes a very courageous and level headed person to to this and I commend you! Ketchuplover...I will take that "you go girl" and wear it on my sweater today (proudly)! Grooch, I never really wanted a log home, but a good friend of my just built one 2 years ago, and it is absolutely beautiful. I have been on more Parade of Homes tours than one normal person can stomach (but I highly recommend at least once for ideas), but I fell in love with her home. I don't post very much, but when I do, I sure do feel welcome. Thanks guys...and have a great day.  |
Ketchuplover | Wednesday, January 16, 2002 - 07:05 pm   how do you insulate a log cabin? |
Moondance | Wednesday, January 16, 2002 - 07:24 pm   Cool site Jen! Congrats |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, January 16, 2002 - 07:49 pm   I saw your home Jen! It is gorgeous. Good luck. |
Jenhavins | Thursday, January 17, 2002 - 02:11 pm   I think the same way Ketchup. From what I understand, they put an insulating seal and nails between each log. There is a separate wall on the inside (you aren't looking at the logs that are on the outside from the inside). You can have cedar strips as finish on the inside as well, or you can finish out with regular walls. We are going to finish out with part cedar and part sheet rock. The insulation isn't as thick, but the logs themselves are a great source of insulation (by how they are sealed and their thickness). We have only met with the builder twice, and I am just remembering from when my friend had hers built. I'll see if I can find out more info though. Thanks Moon and Twiggy. I will get more excited when they pour the slab. Then someone will have to pinch me! |
Ketchuplover | Thursday, January 17, 2002 - 04:11 pm   Ketchup is good insulation |
