Further to Shasta's comments you have helped me with a difficult computer question in the past so don't forget your accomplishments as an "uber nerd" or computer literaty (I think I just made that word up!)

I've also been unemployed for 8 months or so now which is making me really itchy.

I suppose the biggest accomplishment is my marriage; we've been married 3 whole months! I love my husband dearly, and he and I are a good match. Even though I'm absolutely insane.

Congratulations newlyweds! Let's hope the honeymoon is never over!

In 2002 on the occasion of the fiftieth Anniversary of the accession of HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN to the Throne the Golden Jubilee Medal was presented to

Show Spoiler

I am still not sure why but the blurb that came with it said something about service to my community or something similar. It surprised the heck out of me!
p.s. that stuff up top was typed directly from the certificate that came with it. Guess they just picked my name out of a hat

According to Wikipedia, this is why they chose you!!!

In Canada, the medal was administered by the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall and was awarded to Canadians who made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, their community, or to Canada over the previous fifty years.[3] Various organizations were invited to propose the names of candidates for the medal; this included all levels of Canadian government, educational and cultural organizations, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, veterans' groups, sports associations, and philanthropic and charitable bodies

Wonderful thread, FF! Thank you!

Great accomplishments, everyone! Yay!

My greatest accomplishment is raising a grand son. And having all my family (including my terrific in-laws) around us supporting and loving us.

Peace.
