Foxy,

Sorry but I've never bothered with New Year's resolutions...although I like your intention of "letting it rip". I'll say however that from my observations that your empathy is strong and that you will find it a challenge to override your innate concern for other people's feelings.

Paul,

Yes, concerning individual...I just looked that up and I think the last time he posted was on 27/09/2014. I hadn't missed him. The curious thing is that Ludwig was given a month's suspension on the 25/09/2014 for his effort toward the end of the Rolf thread...and he's obviously decided not to return to OLO at this stage. Leaves me to wonder if they knew each other and have gone out in solidarity. individual was one of the few who backed Ludwig in his weird defence of Rolf's crimes.

Interesting....

Thank You everyone for your contributions.
Thank You David F., for the poem.

It's interesting to read what people
think.

It's not always easy keeping the resolutions we
try to make. But what the heck - a New Year
can bring new and stronger resolves for some of us.
It would be great though if we all could -
worry less, and laugh more - or in my case - stop
wishing I was different.

This has been a difficult year. Hopefully 2015
will be much better - for all of us.

Dear Poirot,

I understand your not making New Year Resolutions.
Thanks for coming into this discussion anyway.

I don't think that I'll be capable of changing all
that much as you say. But it's worth a try.

As for Individual and Ludwig? I've been wondering
what's happened to them as well. Perhaps they're
just taking a break - as some posters do. We'll
have to wait and see, I guess. Another one that
I haven't seen for a while is - Antiseptic?
It would be great to find out how his studies have
gone over the past year - and whether he's going
completed what he set out to do or still going to
continue. I hope we hear from all of them soon.

Foxy,

Ludwig I think is not coming back in a hurry - he was incensed that he got pinged late in that thread. And he'd been behaving quite weirdly in his debating tactics on it.

Antiseptic came back for a short while and seemed to have gotten over a lot of his angst..he's a very intelligent guy, but haven't heard from him since he started his uni course.

OUG is absent as well.

I don't miss any of those absent posters, but I sre hope they had a fab Christmas : )

My New Years resolution is to try and work less hours.
I am always going into overtime, and nobody says on their deathbed that they wished they had worked more hours!

Happy New Year everyone.

Cheers,
Suse.

FOXY I don't believe in making any Resolutions. I know the year of 2014 for me at least is a year of tragedy and sadness. Commencing first with my ex wife's suicide in March. Even though I'd remarried, we enjoyed an excellent relationship, and even with that, she still chose suicide ?
