I don't know what other New Year's Resolutions could possibly be for my favorite MM character, D&M----you've already covered it all so well!

But, I like all your resolutions for them! Esp. the one for Father Gill! I agree that Pete got more of a confession than he wanted...

Happy Holidays!

Brilliant, Drink&Smoke! I'm going to give Sally a diary and tell her to resolve to write in it every day, and when she is all grown up, she will have the basis for a bestselling book all about her dysfunctional family - why, they might even make a TV show about it.

Drink&Smoke, you are hilarious as usual! Here are a few more resolutions.

Bert Cooper - Succeed at running the cattle ranch in Montana without really trying.

Miss Blankenship – Be assertive and become more than just a name.

Pete Campbell – Stop repeating outdated words like “swell” and weird comments, including “A thing like that.”

Roger – Balance realistically the thrill of "being with" Jane and the of odds surviving a third heart attack while "being with" Jane.

Betty – Stop smoking, drinking, and horseback riding for the duration of the pregnancy.

Jane – Take a course of study in writing convincing poetry.

Ken – Stop wondering what became of that favorite lighter.

Anna – As a long-lost Draper "cousin," send a present for the new baby to Don and Betty.

Duck Phillips – Study basic contracts and business negotiations, and take a course in rage management.

Paul – Rekindle romance with Joan and keep "big mouth" shut.

Bobby – Try hard to be a good boy and avoid accidents around the house (jumping on beds, going too near hot stove burners, etc.).

Pete and Peggy, find their baby, open their own small advertising firm, make their baby the new gerber baby (or small child already). Get Trudy a job singing the diamond song at a club.
And, Drink & Smoke and Remembering covered it all! Great!

Nicely put Remembering and Nora! ;o) The resolutions for Duck, Roger, Peggy and Pete are outstanding! And Bobby - let's not forget breaking the "Hi-Fi".
How about a few more:

Alice Cooper - Stop spending so much money on stockings.
Francine - Start her own marriage counciling agency
Glen Bishop - Turn Sally's playhouse into an apartment
Sally - Learn how to play the drinking game "Quarters"
Bobby - Take Sally's bet to lick an icy cold flagpole in December
Carla - Start her own catering company
Arthur - Sleep with Betty
Betty - Sleep with Tara
Tara - Find out everyone Arthur slept with.

Ok, ok....I'll stop here!
Cheers! ;o)

Betty- No more gemlets, paid by a stranger.
Don - No more running off, stay and deal with it!
Duck - Find Chuancey and put down the bottle!
Pete - Find his baby and adopt it for Trudy.
Cooper - By another painting!
Peggy - Make Pete want her until he cracks up
Joan - Bound & gag her Doctor and make love to him on the kitchen floor. Leave him there for an hour
Glenn - Get registered with Big Brothers of America
Mona - Find some loop holes.
Jane - Find some Ruby Red slippers and go home.
Bobbie - Try to be with my own husband
Sally - Stop smoking and drinking.
Bobby - Ask his parents for therapy
Rodger - Stop chasing the image of love.
Harry - Stop telling his wife everything
Paul - Stop letting Joan smart talk his girl.
Ken - Stop being so naive

Correction for Cooper - Buy another painting!

Can't resist adding a few more resolutions for our favorite people.

Don – Take a sentimental journey back to the childhood Pennsylvania farm.
Allison – Wear colored panties to the office every day just in case……
Mona – Become a secretary to check out what’s available out there.
Joan – Keep nunchucks available in desk drawer.
Peggy – Tell Pete, “Forget it, I made it all up.”
Hollis – Find out where Joe DiMaggio was when Marilyn Monroe died.
Rachel – Apologize to Don for calling him a coward.
Bert Cooper – Read “Atlas Shrugged” again and pretend to be John Galt.
Anna – Add another porch to the house in San Pedro.
Sally – Complete a family tree (school project) with entries for Daddy’s side of the family.

Bobbie Barrett - "become the marketing maven of Madison avenue"; result - in a hot flash inspired moment, she secures the property rights for the term "cougar"; develops her own line of Cougar Cosmetics & Lingerie.

Jimmy Barrett - "parlay the success of Grin & Barrett"; result - becomes the spokesman for the nation-wide campaign for Utz Potato Chips; Don personally oversees the campaign with the tag line, "You don't have to be a putz to like Utz".

Lois the Operator - "land a husband"; result - reads Helen Gurley Brown's "Sex and the Office"; finally hits on Sal, who convinces her to instead join him for tea at the Waldorf Astoria, followed by a tour of the Guggenheim and a shopping spree at Menken's; after kissing the top of her hand to say goodbye, she is still convinced he is the man of her dreams.

Lee Garner Sr. (President of Lucky Strike) - "Don't lose market share"; result - following the Surgeon General's warning that smoking may be hazardous to one's health, he changes the ad campaign from "It's toasted" to "We're toasted".

Glen "the Barber" Bishop - "Win the Annual Science Fair Project"; result - young Glen decides to merge his passions of science and voyerism for his 7th grade science project. His research breakthroughs result in the US Army's first generation of passive night vision goggles. He earns enough in royalties to eventually move to the Appalachian Mountains when his is 18. He finds work as seamstress/dry cleaner and changes his name to Jame Gumb.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...(to borrow a '60's term from my H.S. years)....

You guys "slay me"

Mitch - stop being the "Invisible Man."

Polar Bear:
Bobbie Barrett - "become the marketing maven of Madison avenue"; result - in a hot flash inspired moment, she secures the property rights for the term "cougar"; develops her own line of Cougar Cosmetics & Lingerie.
Yes, Yes, Yes!

a few of my imagined resolutions . . .

JOY: find Don

ALICE COOPER: to get richer

ARTHUR: to roll in the hay with Betty

KEN: publish a novella

BETTY: to stop wearing undergarments

DUCK: go to AA and find a gal-pal

ROGER: to dress young and hip and discover sex-toys to make his girl happy.

BERT: to sell his Rothko via Sotheby's and then acquire investment pieces such as a Johns, a Pollock, a Rauschenburg et al

CHAUNCEY: to stop trolling the 21 Club and Sardi's dumpsters and establish a home and have a "wife's" attentions, rather than a slutty alley mutt's

DON: bring Anna closer and get a Defense-contract account for SC-PP&L. Spend more quality time with the kids

PETE: ditch Trudy. learn to cook. find a son. put his mother in her grave and pawn the silver

PEGGY: surprise everyone onward her upward spiral by dressing super-chic in Oleg Cassini and Mary Quant (al'tho that cd be season 4 because of the time-frame!?) Yummy-Hot

FATHER GILL: leaves the priesthood and joins Bob Dylan's back-up band. finally admits to himself he's been a pederast in sheep's clothing-and because he couldn't save Peggy, he couldn't save himself. . .

JOAN: to make her Look more like Jackie's so she'll be taken seriously. Now, she will do whatever it takes to get back to the TV department. The doc is history

GLENN: to get over certain food-phobias and woo Betty with his special macaroni and cheese recipe

tee-hee,
fan-nan!

This isn't a New Year's Resolution. More like a Season Three Wish and I can't find the right thread to put this, oh well....

I'd like to see SC and a black-owned ad firm team up for some campaign. And we get to meet the 'black Don Draper." Hell, I even have the perfect actor for the part, Idris Elba, who is sexy as hell and can rock a suit!

Idris Elba and Jon Hamm sharing the screen! Chew on that!!

Boo-yah!!!
