Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 19, 2021

I’m too lazy to make resolutions

How much does THAT cost? And how does the price compare with three bigger sets of pants and a longer belt?

(no, not THAT kind of belt)

My resolution is to not wait a year to make a resolution.

You don’t pay for New Years resolutions, but you end up paying for breaking them.

I never make a New Year’s resolution as I can’t see the sense in it. If you know what you need or want to do, just make the effort.

So you can fool the children of the resolution.

I can see Danae doing this and charging a fortune

Careful. This voids the guarantee.

I didn’t bother with resolutions. I went for “goals” – easier to set, and fewer recriminations when you forget them.

I remember when department stores that approached full service at least had a gift wrapping station. I miss that.

Are there still department stores?

Several decades ago, I resolved not to make any more New Years resolutions again. It’s worked like a dream so far…

Once a made a resolution to be married in a year. I will never do that again.

Make solutions and be done with it.

If you don’t mention your resolutions to anyone, no one will know if you break them. The one you face in the mirror each morning usually is critical enough as it is. Why push it?

I’d resolved not to get upset or angry, or do anything that would raise my blood pressure. I was doing fine, until I watched the news on January 6th!

I’m trying to organize a counter-resolution.

I’d like to return 2021… at least until Inauguration Day.

Well there you go. The psychiatric service at Walmart. I think it is over there next to the Wedding isle.

Do I look pixelated? I broke my resolution.

Funny. Yesterday I received an email from Firehouse Subs. Suggesting that it was time to give up on the New Year’s resolution and add double meat and bacon to a sub sandwich…

Actually psychotherapists do a lot of “resolution return” business this time of year. It’s OK. As long as your check clears and the only therapy you really need is a rent-a-friend, they will be glad to tell you that you are not a bad person because you lie to yourself annually. :)

Diet is what you eat.

I think we’ve gotten a preview of the Next Big Fad/Scam.
