New Year's Resolutions

For Internet Junkies

  • I will try to figure out why I "really" need 12 e-mail addresses.


  • I will stop sending e-mail to my wife (husband). A phone call every now and then would be appreciated.
  • I resolve to work with neglected children -- my own.

  • I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer my e-mail.


  • I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.


  • I resolve to back up my 12GB hard drive daily...well, once a week...okay, monthly then...or maybe... at least once a year.


  • I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet - This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I'm not a clock watcher.




  • I will stop checking my e-mail at 3:00 in the morning... 4:30 is much more practical since my friends overseas already had time to answer me by then.


  • When I hear a funny joke, I will not reply, "LOL... LOL!"


  • I will read the manual... just as soon as I can find it.


  • I will think of a password other than "password."


  • I resolve... I resolve to... I resolve to, uh... I resolve to, uh, get my, er... I resolve to, uh, get my, er, off-line work done, too!
