So sorry for not writing. Been busy with the holidays and all that writing was not on my priority list, or any other list I hope.

A new year has started an I wish one and all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope this year brings you fulfillment in all that you do, or plan to do.

New Years resolutions, OK?, I thought about some and decided not to write about them because I probably wouldn't be able to keep them anyhow. Some that I've tried in the past were dieting, exercise, make more money( that was a Laugh), not getting upset with my wife ( learned to say yes dear), and not getting involved in my kids problems ( wife keeps me involved ) . So this year I decided to take the year off from resolutions and live like I've always lived. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Usually the best never comes and the worst does. Resolutions are to help one achieve in overcoming the imperfections in ones self any how. Since I have no need of that, I'll just go on as I always have.

So instead of resolutions I thought I would pass on some words of wit that I have learned over the years.

I've had the philosophy ( where did that word come from ) that if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. So I break a mirror every seven years just to guarantee I'll live another seven years. So far it has worked.

I also learned over the years, keep your wife happy and you will be happy. NOTHING worse then an unhappy woman. Believe me I'm proof of that.

Learn early in life to say yes dear. For some reason when I say it Janet stops talking to me.. Hmmm.

Do not and I repeat DO NOT answer when your spouse ask Does this make me look fat. Pretend you are sleeping or get up and mow the lawn even if it doesn't need it. Just get out. I made the mistake and said no your butt makes you look fat. Didn't see her for 3 days, the swelling went down and I saw her on the forth day.

Don't ask her if you can use her earrings to fish with. Learned that from Bubba. Tim you need to remember that one.

Always help her out of the car just remember to stop first. Learned that one from Bubba also.

If there is One thing that I have learned in life to help anybody it is humor. Humor can turn the worst day into a good day. Laugh when life knocks you down because if you don't it will be a long time before you get up.

Once again Happy New Year.
