go ahead- brag!

I bow to you! Can you send some of that “How to raise an awesome teenage son” mojo my way? :wink:

My brag: I got accepted into a juried arts and crafts show that I didn’t get into last year!

I automated a previously manual process at work, performing 6 months worth of tedious work in 1 hour. 12000 hours and 420,000 dollars saved. My coworkers love me.

I won twenty cents at the CrazyPoker $100 freeroll Saturday night - 101st out of 2860, and it took less than two hours!

A few weeks back, I took second out of 2892 for $11!

On a (perhaps) more serious note, I graduated with honors in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Illinois (many years ago). That was pretty cool.

Oh. Well now it makes a lot more sense!

and I’m duly impressed by the bragging in this thread!

Brag on my children: Both my older ones got all A’s and 1 B apiece. Quite an accomplishment considering there was a non-homework-doing fueled F earlier in the year. :mad: :cool:

Brag on me: I was recently compared to Grace Kelly, favorably. (No, I don’t look like her. Yes, I’ve been living on it for three days now.)

My son bought me a new microwave with his first paycheck.

The old one was getting scary, but my husband was waiting for one to fall out of the sky or something.

Brag: I just started a thread to say that my diploma arrived. I got my BA in fine art, summa cum laude, straight A’s. Woohoo!

Brag: I got married! The wedding was fabulous, the reception was a ton of fun (I will post a thread later when I have pics up).

Brag: I went on a honeymoon cruise and won over $5000 playing Bingo. Yay!

Holy crap! You hit a trifecta.

I graduated with honors a week and a half ago. There were times when I thought I couldn’t do it.

I did it! Mom was so proud. Associate’s degree down, and I’ll return to school in the fall to keep on keeping on.

Oh yeah, and 2 days before the wedding, my husband officially became a doctor. Dr. Dan! Woohoo! I knew he could do it! It seemed like it was forever in the future 4 years ago when he started school, but he finished! He’s in Boston right now (well, Framingham) and his residency training officially started…checks clock…6 minutes ago.

@Pullin: you’ve never seen “Risky Business”, have you?

You get your mail at 3 am? That is cool!

I’m not sure what I did. I am, however, examining objects on the fireplace mantle for “Risky Business” type clues. :stuck_out_tongue: (you’ve seen that movie, right?)

I was quite proud of my boys’ academic performance this year. The third grader received all A’s in the second semester, and this was with a modified curriculum for gifted and talented students. I had to have a talk with the 1st grader though, because he only got 1 A, …the rest were all A+'s. He’s been picked to join the gifted and talented program also for next year. They both were also picked to play on their respective little league all-star teams. Good kids I tell Ya.

I’m a young’un, but my brag is that I graduated from high school! I’ve had all A’s for the past two years and only two B+'s overall. I’m headed for a university that was among my top choices (didn’t make it into an Ivy, but who cares?) and which will take me far from home, and I’m looking forward to being able to delve further into my favorite subjects and be more independent.

For the thirteenth time, I’ve had a court decision I wrote for one of my court’s judges published in the state bar journal. I’m mentioned in the decision, so that’s another eensy weensy little bit of legal immortality for me.

I’m still breathing! Woo!

My standards have become low.

Okay, anyone remember my thread on committee notes versus BOARD MINUTES?

We have just elected a Board of Directors for our budding non-profit organization.

(Because of the nature and purpose, it’s best to not mention the name. I’m not quite sure exactly what would be wise for the organization and also for my own protection, but I’d rather err on the side of caution.)

Anyway…

I have been elected

TREASURER!

Oh, and look for a thread in GQuestions that gets into the technical details. - TBJ

A year out of my divorce, I’m going to be exclusive with a fantastic young lady I’ve been dating who’s an excellent cook and loves sex.

I calculated my slugging percentage for the last years dates, and I hit 2.597 over 17 at bats.

I have a six-pack.

I’ve been to North America, Central America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

I’m having foie grois tonight.

I’m now a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society, having passed the ninth and last of the arduous exams required to attain that status. Fame and fortune now await, and I get to write FCAS on my underwear.
