Wish I had heard this years ago. If you’re looking for New Year’s resolutions, this might help.

Linda Hill runs One-Liner Wednesday. Now a word from 7up.
7up just seems to go with this time of year, and it seems to be the only time you see ads for it. Apparently this ad was banned for whatever reason; I doubt it would be today.
Very funny. If it was a coke, I could see it. 🙂 Though I try to give it up, especially cuz they bug me. 7-up is Coke, too, isn’t it?

In the south, every carbonated soft drink is a Coke. Coke has their own lemon-lime drink (Sprite). My stepfather once made the comment that “all that bellywash comes from the same barrel,” and it took me years before I realized he was right. Now, I drink decaf coffee, lemonade, water, and the occasional milkshake (from Arby’s or Chick-Fil-A). I haven’t had soda in at last ten years, except for briefly last summer, when I had this sudden taste for root beer…

Well, technically I only have two because I want to make money from my crafting. Walking, keto and planks are helping with the keeping in shape part.

You have some great stuff you’ve made. Have you considered selling it on Etsy?
Happy New Year, Janet!

I have an Etsy site and have been doing it for about 6 or 7 years now. This year has been my best year ever.

That’s right, you do have an Etsy store and congratulations on a good year! Maybe it’s time to expand, have your stuff in other stores…. See, you’ve got all the bases covered!

Very true John… Love the advert 💜💜💜

I didn’t see any reason to ban the commercial, did you? By the time it ran, there were TV shows that were every bit as graphic.

No but the authorities in the US can be a little odd, the would not let the video for Queen’s I want to break free, be released in America …I thought it was a great advert 💜

Isn’t that the one with Freddie Mercury dressed as a woman, mustache and all? They were fine with the video here. I think American TV is still afraid of offending the generation that’s mostly died off.

That’s a good one, isn’t it? They always had great commercials. Too bad it doesn’t help them sell more…

I think that applies to many commercials, especially the ones shown today.

I’ve had my three things for years! Job in a gym, working out in the gym, writing. Does that mean I’ve won? 😉
Having just sorted through my wardrobe, my resolution is to not buy any clothes at all this year – I have plenty, and even found some I’d forgotten about. Can’t wait to wear them again.
Happy New Year x

I think the victory is self-defined. In which case, you won! Happy New Year!
Make sure you try the clothes on to make sure they fit…

OMG that’s hilarious. But yeah, probably banned because of the violence. Why share?
Hope you had a good IWSG day!
I’m enjoying #WRiTECLUB2021 over at DL Hammons blog. The entries are fun to read and vote on with feedback.
Plus, I’m currently reading Patricia Lynne’s Being Human. (The IWSG Goodread’s book club choice for December.)
And I’m scheduling debut author interviews at Operation Awesome.
I hope you have some fun plans for the rest of 2021. 🎆⛸🥁✉🥂⛄ May your days ahead be merry and filled with positive experiences.

You don’t do IWSG. I meant 1LinerWeds.

On Wednesdays and the weekend, I find old commercials and have them “sponsor” the post. It’s all for laughs, basically,
I follow a couple of IWSG’s and also the Operation Awesomw blog, so at least I know what you’re talking about. One day, maybe I’ll participate….
Happy New Year, J!
