Science How was your 2018? - Page 6

My annual state of the planet poll. Hang on for a minute while I put a poll up.

**Iowanian** · 12-31-2018, 11:55 PM

I've decided 2019 is going to be my selfish year. I'm pulling back from some things that only deliver stress. I'm done coaching little league. I'm backing off volunteer time. I'm helping people who I can count on and I'm putting more time into doing my projects and things that benefit my own people....my wife doesn't believe me.

Yesterday a friend from a distance that I've had for a long time messaged and needed me to help move her disabled mother. I ducked out of my own family event to go do that....too many things that aren't my problem, become my problem.

Maybe I'll find time to fish in my pond, burn wood and have some beers beside my new bad ass -kid can't fall into it- fire pit. Maybe I'll have time to hunt turkeys once, or take my bow off of the wall and climb in a tree in 2019.

I pulled a similar maneuver in 2017.

I didn’t so much pull out a bunch of rec time, but I quit some volunteer things and became much more cognizant of where my time was going and making sure it was allocated as best I could to value added activities. And yes, there is value in climbing a tree with a bow.

Ten years ago I was homeless hopeless and helpless.

Now I'm living it up life to the fullest and am loved. Never been this happy in my grownup life.

I do have issues living with COPD ****ing sucks but I don't let it stop me its like Chiefs defense but I still scores 50 td and 5000 yards passing. I'm determined to have my best fishing year and not get killed in the water kayaking. Life is fun.

I owe all of my success to growing out my beard.

**Nzoner** · 01-01-2019, 10:27 AM

I chose #4,wife's health continued to decline,favorite Aunt diagnosed with cancer,lost a good friendship of 10+ years,lost a dog......

Still nowhere near as sad as some of the replies I've read here and to those of you I pray that 2019 will be a 10.

My goal this year is to finally make it to a Chiefs bash.

I’ll just say ALL THE BEST to everyone here at CP in 2019. Life is full of ups and downs. Health is the greatest gift of all, while everything else is really small potatoes.

To those of you suffering, or have loved ones that are sufffering, God Bless you! We are all Family here. That’s the one thing I have always loved about this place. We may have our differences from time to time, but I think you can generally count on this place when times are tough.

Inspector · 01-01-2019, 03:48 PM

Awesome year.

Added headcount. Up to 7 grandkids and 1 great grandkid.

Amendment 2.

Mahomes.

And only 2 funerals this year. (Old people go to a lot of funerals.)

Discuss Thrower · 01-01-2019, 04:26 PM

It sucked to the point pulling a Belcher in the TSC parking lot would be a blessing.

jimidollar · 01-01-2019, 04:35 PM

Mine was Even Steven just like most years. No great highs, but no deep low points either.

I must spread some rep before giving anymore.

GREAT story man. Great story.

38yrsfan · 01-01-2019, 06:48 PM

My family is all basically healthy and live close by so I get to see them regularly.
New grandson doing well.
Didn't need the homeowners insurance or AAA all year, no tickets or accidents.

A good year.

Rasputin · 01-01-2019, 10:44 PM

Getting a Rain Man rep to start out the new year is a good feeling I already got more rep from Rain Man this year than all of last year. Thanks Rain Man buddy.

View Poll Results: Rate your 2018 year.
10 – Amazing year. I had the life equivalent of throwing for 50 touchdowns and 5,000 yards	10	9.71%
9 – Really good year. If life had refs, they would have called a lot of taunting penalties on me.	10	9.71%
8 – Good year. I would probably be franchise tagged if this was a contract year.	15	14.56%
7 – Above average year. I hardly had to punt at all.	13	12.62%
6 – Slightly better than normal year. In life’s playoffs, my year would squeak into the #6 wild card slot.	5	4.85%
5 – Pretty run of the mill average year. My life will be drafting in the #16 spot next year.	12	11.65%
4 – Slightly below average year. It had some good spots, but it also had spots where hotel videos were released by TMZ.	9	8.74%
3 – Not a very good year. I tanked and traded most of my good days away for future draft picks.	14	13.59%
2 – Terrible year. As years go, this one was a Haglund.	7	6.80%
1 – Abysmal year. It was as if Vance Joseph was my life coach.	5	4.85%
I'm not going to tell you how my year went. That's between me and my shrink.	1	0.97%
I don't know how my year went. I'm usually in a daze.	2	1.94%
Voters: 103. You may not vote on this poll
