I actually try to keep any resolutions I make for each year, and I’ve been remarkedly true to my resolution of not listening/watching any Mattress Mac commercials, if for no other reason than saving myself from grinding my teeth and keeping my blood pressure down.
But this year, I’ve decided to add a few new ones:
#1. I’m not going to buy anymore flashlights … I’m making an educated guess that I can find the exact one I need from the about a hundred I currently own.
#2 I’m not going to buy anymore TV’s this year either … I have so many that the ones I’m not using are piling up. Despite giving several away, they seem to be breeding. I just found three more in a closet I had totally forgotten about. To say that my wife agrees with the no new TV’s resolution, is an understatement.
#3 I’m going to start cancelling some of the paid streaming services … you can’t watch more than one at a time anyway. The streaming services are relentless in their price hikes … Amazon is actually adding a fee to your monthly bill if you want no commercials in the videos that you’ve ALREADY paid to watch. The streaming services, combined with DirecTv are pushing $300 monthly … that seems ridiculous as the quality of the newer shows and the blatant incessant political correctness kills any enjoyment.
I try to keep these resolutions to a minimum or I’d never be able to accomplish any of them … time will tell.
