Download Ringtones For Free - Here Are 2 Great Sites You Can Trust

Recently, a friend on Twitter (@DustyReagan) did a quick poll, and he found the following 2 sites to be best in terms of safety and reliability.

Little-Known Facts About New Year's Resolutions

In a small study of metro Seattle people aged 18-66, some interesting findings came to light:

Most people made several resolutions (67% made 3 or more)

Increasing the amount of exercise was the most common primary resolution (37%)

People made more resolutions to start or increase a behavior (84%) than to stop or decrease something (16%)

The most interesting thing to me: Only 65% made their resolutions between Dec. 28 and New Year's Day. The rest made pledges they considered to be New Year's resolutions as early as May and as late as the end of January.

Also interesting: Persistence pays off... Of those who successfully achieved their top resolution, only 40% of them did so on the first attempt. The rest made multiple tries, with 17% finally succeeding after more than 6 attempts.

More facts about New Year's Resolutions here.

Okay, so those are the facts. Now, here's how to stick to your New Year's Resolutions this year...

6 Fun Things To Do With Leftover Wrapping Paper, Ribbons & Bows

Figuring out what to do with all that leftover wrapping paper, bows and ribbons and such can be a real chore.

Most people (self included) put it away for next year -- at least some of it. Commercial wrapping paper is so expensive these days that the thought of throwing away a roll or two just doesn't make sense to me.

Of course, since I know that commercial wrapping paper cannot be recycled (except to be used for another Christmas) and that tons of it wind up in landfills every year, I see hanging onto any I have leftover as being 'green' conscious.

Here are some fun things you can do with all that leftover holiday wrapping paper, bows and ribbon...
