    This year I made a permanent resolution: each year going forward, I will give up (for life) patronizing one chain store (restaurant, retailer, whatever).

    2007, I'm starting with the big cheese: McDonald's. Went out on NY eve for my last McDonald's ever: 4 hamburglers, fries, and chicken mcnuggets. Gut bomb. Sayonara, McDonald's! I won't miss you.

    This may be far too obvious a question, but if you've never read it, how can you consider it vapid?

    Eeyore is the donkey in Winnie-the-Pooh. The sad one--always depressed, always bleak. Of course, if my tail were buttoned on me, I'd probably be unhappy, too!

    OK, I give up. I hereby resolve not to try to make Daniel laugh. He's apparently happy being miserable, and I wouldn't want to be accused of forcing my beliefs on him. :rolleyes:

    I laugh plenty. Just not when talking about, or contemplating, war and the approaching environmental disaster.

    I actually thought my post was rather funny:

    Eeyore is one of the "characters" in the Hundred Acre Wood where Pooh, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo and Tigger live. Christpher Robin meets them there. (Eeyore is famous for always seeing the downside. A loveable pessimist.)

    You've obviously never read "The Tao of Pooh". I bet you'd like it.
