Time For A Trade In!
OMggggggggggggggg! In the past few months, my husband has gone through withdrawals twice (one bad one from suboxone), has had 2 tooth aches, one being dental surgery, a broken arm, surgery on said arm and is now sick with a bad cold and sore throat. Thank goodness, he went to a meeting tonight anyway because I really need a break fro him, lol.
Most of here know men are big wussies (right Vale?) and my husband is no exception. In fact, he is the biggest baby when he is sick.
That's it!! I told him I am trading him in for a new, younger, less defective, model.

Here's to a new year that will be better for both of you! I am sharing some interesting new year's quotes I found and hope you might enjoy reading these. 
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. - Hal Borland
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. - Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever. - Mark Twain
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me. - Anaïs Nin
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account. - Oscar Wilde
From New Year's on the outlook brightens; good humor lost in a mood of failure returns. I resolve to stop complaining. - Leonard Bernstein
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. - Bill Vaughn
New Year's Day is every man's birthday. - Charles Lamb
Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right. - Oprah Winfrey
New Year's Day... now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. - Mark Twain
Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!
- William Arthur Ward
New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time. - James Agate
Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self-assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle. - Eric Zorn
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. - Brooks Atkinson
New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. - Hamilton Wright Mabie
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. - T.S. Eliot
The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul. - G.K. Chesterton
Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. - Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. - Bill Vaughn
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. - Benjamin Franklin
Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty. - John Selden (As you can see from my previous post, this technique works!)
The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months! - Edward Payson Powell
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits. - Andre Gide
Many years ago I resolved never to bother with New Year's resolutions, and I've stuck with it ever since. - Dave Beard

of BS I pull..........younger,less on odometer,etc...........yeah,I get that part.....but to be honest the younger ones drone on&on&on&on&on&on&on&on&on about stuff that,quite honestly-----I don't care about.
(If she ever croaks on me--------I am in deep sh**!)
-When I am sick,my wife calls me the "Wussmaster General"
