2026 New Years Resolutions

[Skyfall]

Many years ago for a New Year’s resolution, I gave up giving up things so I would never be disappointed again.

However this year, I am going to attempt to not have any PAD and TAD expenditures.

What plans do you have for a New Years Resolution?

 

[Groot5225]

Same as you. We moved into our home and notice how my TAD & PAD has gotten out of hand.

 

[BingBong]

Nothing as wildly ambitious as yours!

I've almost done "staying alive in 2025", maybe "living for kicks in 2026" coming up. But giving up stuff? No way!

My mother always said it's not only about what you have done but also about what we haven't done. So with this in mind I plan to pray more and sin less. I wish everyone success in their resolutions!

Sanctification is a life long process before glorification.

Indeed

I'm going to double down on my efforts to take on one project at a time. Problem is, I already have so many partially completed projects already, and those projects keep dividing themselves into more projects. So, my other resolution is to stop spinning the wheels about it all so much and just to keep on doin'.

The only New Year's Resolution that I have ever been able to keep 100% is resolving to never make New Year's Resolutions.

Haha, I was just about to post.

My last New Years resolution was about ten years ago, no more New Years resolutions.

This PAD/TAD is for real, may have to start again with no more PAD/TAD expenditures.

Perhaps a tontine is in order for the no TAD/PAD 2026?

Get more games of warhammer in. I only had 1 this year. So shouldn't be hard to accomplish

I dealt a death knell to PAD/TAD b y taking on a new, expensive project and moving all of my play money into the retirement accounts. I'll soon be selling off some of my cellar and pipes to finance the new project.

Screw the new year’s resolution, let me know when you’re selling.

 

[Skyfall]

Selling off your cellar would be a full time job for at least a year.

I'm at a total loss for pricing on anything, so I'll probably send it to Pipestud or do TinBids. But that means finding boxes, taking pictures, mailing shit.

Would it be within the bounds of PipesMagazine manners and rules to post an inventory and to invite offers? Probably not. And besides, that would mean that I'd actually have to do an inventory and then wade through the resulting PM's, make a spreadsheat, etc., etc., etc.. And still mailing it. That starts sounding like the hell of organizing Secret Santa.

See what happens? The prospective project just spirals out of control, nothing gets done and I end up just leaving it for my estate to deal with.

New Year's Resolution:
Sell Nothing.
Keep giving it away on Secret Santa.
Live a long time.

Stop making sense, will ya'?

I’m sitting here smoking a cob enjoying this thread and not paying attention to my pipe. I just got a mouthful of ash. My resolution is to stay focused when nearing the bottom of the bowl.

I can rent a U-Haul truck when you are ready.
