2013:  20 Funny New Year's Resolutions

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year.  Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!

1.  I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!

2.  I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!

3.  I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.

4.  I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day.  Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.

5.  I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

All my best,

 I actually moved right across the border to Massachusetts and I now have CommonWealth Care, which DOES cover it :D  

But thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it!

Topic: Where are all the locals?
Hi, I live in Southern Vermont. I would love to connect with a few people in my area. :) I notice most of the posts on the Vermont message boards are old ones. Is there anybody out there?

Topic: RE: Surgery and Green Mountain Care?
I have not heard of anyone on VHAP having the surgery, but it can't hurt to research. You should call the phone number on the back of your card and ask them.

I have Cigna throught the State of Vermont. I called their number to get all the information I needed.

I see this was posted in July, if you haven't received your answer already, I hope this helped.
