At some point in your life it really helps to decide to be a man.
Hey, is that a knock on peppermint coffee? Even on Xmas?!
I reject all that "real men drink bourbon and branch" bullshit. O0 I bet even Diamond Dallas Page has a peppermint latte when he feels like it.

It was mostly referring to gorging on chicken nuggets and brownies. But maybe a little bit askance at the peppermint also.

Will anyone else be starting Two Towers at precisely the right time so that Theoden says “So it begins.” right at midnight?

😂 No. But we were watching X-Files ( with no lights on ♫ ) last night and they mentioned the year 2023.

:) Happy New Year’s Eve to you. May 2023 be a good year and bring civility, peace and comfort to all, and may each of us find a way to meet our neighbors’ needs a little bit better than in years past. Blessings.

BTW do you have a favourite episode?

Mine is Detour. The one where Mulder and Scully discover and fight against those camouflage things in the Appalachian woods.

Similar to last year — lose weight, get stronger, play more music

Last year — was doing well on all until death of parent mid year and my getting COVID a few weeks after.

So, gained about 10lb last year, although did get stronger, just not as much as hoped.

Sorry to hear of your loss. If it helps, I gained WAY more weight than you this past year. ;D

That's a great one. I'm working out some continuing education goals and career goals, but haven't concretized them quite yet.
