  • Not really. I'm continuing some trends from previous years, though. Last year I set a goal of reading 50 books, but only read 46. So this year I'm setting a little lower at 40, but that's still good considering all the time I spend online, the magazines I read, and the time I spend reading term papers. 

    This year I have some vague plans, though: I'm probably going to be moving away from the town I've lived in since 2010. I may also begin applying to PhD programs.

    I pick easy ones. I'm not going to give up smoking and drinking.

    Giggles!!  Why let yourself down?  There might be other adjustments you would like to venture into :)  This post was edited by Merlin at January 4, 2018 6:39 PM MST

    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  That is an impossibility. One of the whole reasons of smoking is the satisfied "after-sex" smoke.  You need the drink to give you "liquid courage," thinking size doesn't matter anyway.  The 3 go hand-in-hand.   This post was edited by Merlin at January 4, 2018 2:20 PM MST

    It was easy for my wife to give it up. Been two years now. Too tired to find a G/F.

    Plenty of porn sites here make Playboy look like children's comic books.

    Good ones. I need to re-certify myself as well. I got certified when the kids were born, so if anything happened to them, Id know what to do. Turns out, it saved my daughters life two times. First time she was one year old, and choked on a penny, second time when she was two years old and choked on a gum drop. I saved her two times.

    You ARE A STAR Parent Carbon!!!  Good for YOU!!! Your daughter is extremely lucky to have you as her mother!
    You get a round of applause and standing ovation from the Merlin household and this ain't NO Joshin' around !!!
    Seriously, you don't know how many parents sincerely do NOT know what to do in an emergency for their own children.  It is frightening to even think of the numbers.  
    I award you the "STAR Trophy" for Parenting.  It sounds like you are doing a wee-bit of grand-parenting too.  Your children should count their blessings.  :) :)  Two Thumbs Up!!  :) :)

    Coming from a mom who was an ICU nurse, there are many accidental deaths because of ignorance. She said she couldn't do pediatrics because of this.  Thank you for the Asker's Pick and the compliments.  You are a STAR friend!!  Love, Merlin
