BlackEye, he is so adorable. I see a proud papa there.

Hi John,

You see he is a fast learner. He already knows to lead with his left and keep his hands up. ;)

What a cutie:love:! You have every right to brag, BlackEye.

[BlackEye]

BlackEye, he is so adorable. I see a proud papa there.

Yes, definitely a proud papa. You can't tell from the photo but his eyes are turning green. It is the last thing I think for my wife to hold onto. Now I get a lot of "he didn't get anything from me" complaints. :biggrin2:

[Cola]

Thanks! He is making funny noises now too. Tries to mimic me, ya know. Well I think we'll meet in the middle someday at baby talk - it is a lot of fun to try and communicate in baby-ese. I am going to teach him a few signs too, so that will be neat.

He is coming on so well for his age - must be the proud parents :D

[Cola]

Looking good! Nope, not going to ignore it.

Okay, so I didn't get the job at PETA but I am going to brag that I am handling it quite well!

[Óinseach]

I'm 33 and so far don't look it, but it's catching up, the guesstimation gap is narrowing when it comes to my age.

Grew up in a 980 sq ft house with six other people and survived, that was fun, still have marks on my elbows.

Have two very creative daughters, had my eldest when I was twenty (she was 10lbs and I wasn't much bigger either) and managed to do an ok job as a single mother until I met my husband, and became respectable (kidding!). Had another daughter (2.5 years old) who I suspect has 'Animal' from the Muppets DNA, crazy kid.

Came over to the U.S. last year with nearly $2,000.00, 2 kids, 2 Apple Computers (eMac & G4), 4 changes of clothes, and a packet of teabags - landed a job two weeks after we came here, not quite an Ellis Island story but as close as you'll get in this day and age. I don't do things by halves and never have. That's about it really.

I'm really mortified folks, I'm not really that much of a big head, accept my cringing apologies.

[PatInTheHat]

I'm really mortified folks, I'm not really that much of a big head, accept my cringing apologies.

That doesn't sound like a big head...trust me, I know a little somethin' ' bout big headed people:oo:.
Sounded more like big dreams and we won't have no apologizin' for dreamin' big here in America...so quit it:wink2:!


So just exactly how big is your head anyway?..:dunno:..just curious is all.
:biggrin2:

Oh, I feel remiss...A most hearty welcome to the USofA!
Be sure and check out your new National Parks whenever you get the chance...you'll love 'em:smile2:!

[JohnDalglish]

I'm really mortified folks, I'm not really that much of a big head, accept my cringing apologies.

Hi,

No apology required, ionseach, none at all.

And certainly no cringing!

Long days and pleasant nights

[Kim L.]

Okay, so I didn't get the job at PETA but I am going to brag that I am handling it quite well!

Sorry to hear that, Shasta; I know you really wanted it to happen.
(but good to hear you're taking it well LOL)

[Kim L.]

I'm really mortified folks, I'm not really that much of a big head, accept my cringing apologies.

For what? You told a fascinating story, and now we know you better. That's a good thing! You have nothing to apologize for; welcome to the MB and get to know us!

[BlackEye]

I'm really mortified folks, I'm not really that much of a big head, accept my cringing apologies.

I don't see why you are cringing. I think you have a lot to be proud of, and didn't see it as being a "big head" post. You are great. :smile2:

[Spideyman]

Ionseach no apology needed. Thank you for sharing.:smile2:

Shasta sorry to hear about the job. But keep positive - everything happens for a reason. Better job coming your way :wink2:

[dragafari]

Okay, so I didn't get the job at PETA but I am going to brag that I am handling it quite well!

And I have already 127 job refusals, and I'm still with a positive mind, yahoo! I'm just looking forward to set my own Guiness Record. LOL!

Bragging? Okay... I got permission to use a singer's lyrics in my book. I'm pretty stoked about it.
:smile2:

[MrsSmeej]

Youch! I'm with Kim... I just don't get the whole tattoo thing. Voluntarily allowing someone to stick needles in me? :eek2: I don't think so. Richard should be deeply flattered by your support Sheba.

Congratulations Signal20. Optioned. Wow! I cleaned my cellar a few weeks ago... And I've managed to keep my sons from bickering too much this summer... Of course we are only a week in. Keep us posted and I'll attempt to do the same... Of course, I may have to do it in some other thread or risk being off topic. :oops:

My son was looking over my shoulder when I checked out the picture of your cake Racheypen and he knew immediately that your handsome son was blowing out a Wii... Great job on the cake.

Enjoy all of the new space Shasta. I wish you joy in your new home.

[LadyPain]

I have a couple of little brags.

On Saturday at the market, I had someone come up to me and tell me that they have tried many different folk's kinds of handmade soap and that mine is by far the best.:blush:


Lately, I have been listening to a bit of pop music in German. I'm figuring out what some of the words are and asking my husband if I am right. He told me today that he is impressed at how quickly I am picking up the German from the music. Kewl.

I think I will brag about my grandkids. They are sweet when they want to be but other times they are little devils! Paige is 7 and Dustin is 11. I also want to tell the world (for those who don't know) I am in love with Tony. (He was a security guard on the Jerry Springer show,but now gone. He is a hunk. Then you have Edge,from WWE. He's a hottie too.

Debbie

[interplanetjanet]

I installed a new closest organizer while my husband was at work. O.K. it's not Macchu Pichu (although I think my kids act like the Inca's sometimes) but it's the best I've got for now. :smile2:

[interplanetjanet]

I didn't strangle my kids yesterday. :oo:. I'm quite proud that they made it all the way to bedtime and didn't completely tip me over the edge. When does school start again???!!!

[ihavepromisestokeep]

What an adventure. Did you take any pictures??

I took loads of photos, will try to work out how to get some on here.

It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life so far.

Had to trek for four fulls day in very high altitude, and arrived through The Sun Gate. As we walked through, the clouds below us cleared and we could see Macchu Pichu below us. Most people visit by going up on a train, so to walk in from above was a humbling experience.

I Peruvian people were so friendly and I will never forget how welcome I was made to feel.

It is hard to believe that the Inca's were totally wiped out.

[Kitten]

Well, I have a little bragging to do! :) I will get my bachelor's degree in Paralegal Studies this fall semester. I have found an internship at the courthouse. It's going to be interesting. I will be doing a "ride along" in a police car one day, and visit all the different departments in the courthouse. I'm starting to look for a full time position, so if anyone knows someone who needs an excellent paralegal, let me know! :)

[Moderator]

Congratulations! My job before this was as a paralegal but I did probate and estate planning work.

[dragafari]

Oh, lucky day!

Today, I went to job hunting to a big city nearby. How? Well, in the way that all immigrants use to do here in Spain: just fixing some notices in the street poles. Ok, I was doing it, but I wanted to reach a specific street. So I approached a woman rolling a shopping cart in the street. She just sneered at me and say: I'm in a hurry, get lost! She walked almost three steps and stopped. She started to search for something in her cart and then go back towards the supermarket. She forgot something, I thought. And when she passed by my side, I couldn't help it, I started to laugh at her delighted looking at her loser face and she was very pissed about her "wasting of time". Then, I found the street I was looking for, by myself. And I really upholstered the city with my notices. When done, I was feeling my head so hot and my body very tired. Near the bus stop there was a beer tasting stand!. There they gave me plenty of cold beer and I caught my bus and went back home again. I didn't see not even one policeman during the whole morning!

Everything went just good, just perfect, like in the old times, when a bus driver threw me out of the bus because I was paying a student ticket. He cursed me and I had to wait for the next bus. That day I arrived late to university, but guess what I saw in the way to it!? The bus driver and his bus in a crash!

Who Jah bless, no one curse, you see.

[Moderator]

Instant karma, for sure. :smile2:

Good luck!

Yes, Ms. Mod, it always happens the same way with me. I think that there's an IT that plays the game for me to win in difficult situations. :oo::biggrin2: I love that IT! :grinning: or Karma or whatever!

Near the bus stop there was a beer tasting stand!. There they gave me plenty of cold beer and I caught my bus and went back home again. I didn't see not even one policeman during the whole morning!

Everything went just good, just perfect, like in the old times, when a bus driver threw me out of the bus because I was paying a student ticket. He cursed me and I had to wait for the next bus. That day I arrived late to university, but guess what I saw in the way to it!? The bus driver and his bus in a crash!

Who Jah bless, no one curse, you see.

Karma, baby!:love:

[dragafari]

Hi,

AWMMS.

BTW Loved the phrase 'Really upholstered the city', dragafari!

Good luck!

Long days and pleasant nights

Chilean way of talking translated to English, LOL! Thankee for the good luck my friend! :wink2:

[Anni M]

I rescued a wee chickadee from the middle of the road yesterday...it was too young to be out of the nest, I think. Wow, was it tiny. Anyway, I was my kid's hero for the rest of the day... :)

[BlackThorn]

I inhabit two worlds. The one we all think we see, and the one that will be there after this one washes away, and denies that it ever even was. Kinda like a tarot card with an alpha on one side and an omega on the other. The card couldn't exist without both sides, although you can only see one at a time...

Bwa ha ha, cryptic enough for ya?

How about this... I fully understand and use on a daily basis, what I consider to be "the high speech", although what I consider it to be is different from what King had it as, in his novels.

What I mean by this, is I listen to the emotional consciousness that our inner center forces us to convey through our words. I can walk into a room, and hear some sort of higher combined energy from just moving past separate conversations. Hell, I scan radio conversations for another taste of it if I'm in the right mood. It's all about my own spiritual growth and understanding as far as I'm concerned.

Our conscious is connected on every level, and the worlds tend to bleed together. When I'm in a trancy enough mood, conversations go in directions that the people speaking them don't even understand they're speaking.

Course, maybe it's just my damage. Maybe, I'm the one in a world that's moved on and gone away. Maybe I'm on the inside, and they're all on the outside, and it appears to them like I'm the one who's saying the wrong things. Believe me when I state that usually I just listen intently, and let it reverberate in my mind and the minds of everyone else in the room, and just squirm a bit, or respond with what experiences I've had and know from on this view of the mirror. It's hard sometimes though, and really confusing. My friend Michael told me, "stay away from bars"... yeah, it would be really easy to shove a foot out of the door with my mouth when dealing in such ways with multiple realities.

Did I mention I'm legally insane? Although whether the chicken or the egg came first on that one is still open for discussion. For the most part I am pretty much harmless, and I never do anything seriously stupid other than run my mouth. Maybe I'm just really good with my imagination, plus... a bit like the little girl in 'Rose Red'.

Oh, and I might have said, but when I explained to various people that I was getting tanned and toned to get a photo shoot before I moved forward with considering a job in the sexual entertainment business... everybody had the attitude like, "Well duh. Of course you're good lookin' enough to do that kinda work." I was blown out of the water. Why didn't anybody ever tell me I was smokin' hot, damnit! Probably just a stupid complex I have, cause I know I'm not that ugly, but I never figured I was worth anything. One professional woman was like, "you're gonna need to use your eyes." Just factually, as a 'just so you know' way, in response to me saying that's where I was going to go after I left my dealings with her.

But yeah. Two worlds. Chanting, 'I get twooooo, I get twooooo... I bet you only see oneeeeee...'

[RANGERWIFE]

This is the thread where everyone can come to and brag about something that's happened to them. I'm not sure if we've ever had one of these. I know there are people out there with good news. ... Things you are just aching to tell someone!

Ok, ... well ... it's also an excuse to share my bragging moment! :)

I'm going to college to get my bachelor's degree in paralegal. I'm taking Constitutional Law. I had this paper I had to do with three legal briefs attached. To make a long story short ... lol! I made an A on the paper and an A on the briefs! There was a comment on the paper. "This paper was written extremely well."

I was so worried! :oops:

Kitten

Belated CONGRATS!:biggrin2:

I'm also going after my bachelor's, after 20 years, in Military History. Had to write a paper on the planning, strategy, and execution of the Battle of Okinawa. I was so nervous but I got an A!:grinning:

[SharonC]

Just wondering, if those legal briefs were Haines?

Sorry, I work in a law firm and I just couldn't resist!!

CORONA IS SPONSORING MY PARTY! My husband and I are 25 this year, my birthday was on 7/26, his is on 8/18, so we decided to do a combined party. This is the letter I sent them and several other companies:

Dear sir/madam;


I and my friends have been enjoying your fine products since we were of legal drinking age. Our parties are not complete unless someone brings the Corona, and it's a real downer when we run out. Responsible partakers of your product that we are, we always have a DD on hand to make an extra beer run if necessary.

This year will be my and my husband's 25th birthdays. Such a momentous occasion deserves a celebration of legendary proportions. We have dubbed this event Leopalooza and it will take place on 8/8/08. However, with the economy in such a bad state and gas prices destroying our entertainment budget, our soiree might be spoiled by empty fridges.

As loyal consumers of your product, we have never complained about the price of a good beer. We have worn your logo on our hats and t-shirts to public events and have done so with pride. My question is this: would your company be willing to sponsor our birthday fiesta by providing us with much needed supplies? We would gladly show our appreciation by advertising and recommending your products.

If sponsorship is not an option, maybe you could throw down some free t-shirts or something?

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Liz, the Leopalooza event co-coordinator


They sent us $250 worth of vouchers. Holy crap. THANK YOU CORONA!

I didn't strangle my kids yesterday. :oo:. I'm quite proud that they made it all the way to bedtime and didn't completely tip me over the edge. When does school start again???!!!


:biggrin2:Boy do I remember those days! Then mine became teenagers and my favorite quote became "Mothers of teenagers is why some animals eat their young!" Now they are 21,19 & 18 and sometimes, I would still like to strangle them. I don't think that urge ever goes away!!:biggrin2:

Here is an updated pic. He is 4 months now. He just got an exesaucer(spelling??). He loves it. He also just rolled from his back to his stomach on his own. He has a laugh now that can make an entire room full of people burst into hysterics. He also is finding his voice - a lot of teradactyl cries.

Your son is a sun BlackEye! really! wow! what a show of pure happiness! But do you know what I always brag about? It may be sounds corny but it's just the truth: I brag about all of you bros and sistas, my friends, that I have meet here in the SKMB. Since long time (if ever) I didn't get in touch with such amazing and kind people.
BIG THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR BEING SOOOO SPECIAL! I'm really touched. :love:

O.K. Blackeye--He is about the cutest thing I ever did see. I always loved it when they learn to laugh and watching to see what they will find funny. (usually the dumbest things make them crack up :smile2:)

Please give him some Flake-Kisses from me. :smile2:

What a cutie!!

[BlackEye]

Thanks again everyone. And Flake, it is interesting. I wanted to name him Nicholas, but we settled on Camden. But I like Nicholas a lot for a boy a lot. So Nick is a crazy bird too, huh? We just took him to "baby yoga" and he loved it. My wife is spoiling him. :)

Hi,

Great pics, BlackEye, he's looking great.

I just received a goodie box from my girlfriend, my Communications Seattleitte, the lovely Patricia A., and I'm gonna brag for a moment.

Apart from really nice stuff like an incense holder, incense, a lovely card and nice bookmarks, Pat gave me -

A mint Advanced Readers Copy of Lisey's Story (she knows what that book means to me).

Thanks Pat and John. :)

I think it is great what you two both got(more than just the presents), and I would want to sing to the heavens about that.

Thanks for the kind word about the lil Lion King. :)

Nine Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers--and 1st edition yet! Pat, what a lovely thing to do. You're so generous & thoughtful. :love:

[Dylan Roberts]

ummm....

My dad's pic is on the googlemap streetview thing.

That's kind of cool, I guess.

(I'd share it with y'all, but that would mean spilling out his address, which just isn't going to happen.)

What a beautiful boy, BlackEye! His smile is infectious. Almost makes me want another...I'd like to stay married and not a widow, though:smile2:.

Well, thanks for coming clean. I know it must have been weighing heavily, this secret of your's. It must have taken a lot of courage to tell us this. Now that John knows this about you, he will have to adjust his exchanges to try and help you with this problem. The rest of us will too, accordingly. We are all here to help! :biggrin2:

[Ayla]

I dont know if this counts as something to brag about, but for the first time in 3 months...i'm not working on saturday!!!! w00t!!!!

I'm a public servant, i'm not meant to work on weekends, its one of the reasons i became a public servant in the first place. but i have been...and it has sucked the big one. So i'm celebrating my day off by a) staying up late to hang out on the board at the same time as everyone else (damn you time difference - my mortal enemy) and b) ignoring my governments plea to stop my unhealthy binge drinking and going on an absolute *bender* tomorrow afternoon with my friend for his birthday. yeah dude...i'm gonna write myself off and its gonna be rad.

Except for all you underagers in here, i'm being very irresponsible and you should never binge drink cause its bad ok? I'm going to wind up in bed all day sunday with a bad hangover and i'll have killed so many brain cells that i'll actually be dumber. dont drink kids - its very very bad.

Ok, public servant has performed public service...now wheres my vodka?

Wanna be MY girlfriend Purrrtricia? Hee hee!

[FlakeNoir]

Thanks again everyone. And Flake, it is interesting. I wanted to name him Nicholas, but we settled on Camden. But I like Nicholas a lot for a boy a lot. So Nick is a crazy bird too, huh? We just took him to "baby yoga" and he loved it. My wife is spoiling him. :)
Baby yoga sounds cool BlackEye, I haven't started anything like that with Nick yet. (Could just be that he is #4, so I love to spend some alone time with him while his brothers are at school! :biggrin2: )

This pic of him is a bit old now - but I thought it was SK related so...

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd140/FlakeNoir/NickKa2.jpg

[BlackEye]

Very cute little guy. :)

[Kim L.]

Nick is such a sweetie, Flake. Love his little half-smile.

[the great kilted one]

First of all, the baby pictures on this thread are adorable! You guys have every right to brag :)

I guess my brag isn't really a brag but a "whoa" moment. I saved someone's life yesterday. Ok, that's not really too unusual - I'm a lifeguard. But she was unconscious in the wavepool and the lifeguard who was supposed to be watching where she went down ... wasn't. I heard someone scream and dove in and it's the most scared I've ever been in a LONG time.
In any case, I had a stronger guy, who happened to know her, carry her in while I held her head up and and got her to wake up. She coughed up a lot of water and was incoherent for a while - but needless to say, terrifying. Especially since I hadn't been watching that part of the pool and didn't know how long she was under.

Woot for doing your job, right?! I feel bad for the guy who wasn't watching... he's going to get reemed.

Anyways, it's kind of a brag because her son was right there and he was about 8 or so. It felt pretty good to see them hug after she was ok.

Great save, 'kilted one' - that must have felt amazing, good on you! :smile2:

[FlakeNoir]

Re: Nickster, thanks you guys! :smile2: He wasn't feeling very well in that photo, and was giving me the 'oh alright, go ahead then - just one more' kind of look. :biggrin2:

[Spideyman]

Flake Nick is so cute there. Wow, he's grown a lot since that picture.
Enjoy all this time with him.:smile2:

The Great Kilted One. That is one lucky lady to have had you on the job. Brag all you want, you did a great thing!

Outstanding!!!!

Now that is something to brag about. You just saved someone's Mom, future grandmother, etc... You never know, if she has more children, they wouldn't be there without you. Nice job. You should feel very good and I feel good for you. It is special what you did. I hope you celebrate it, because I am sure with a job like that there can be rough times too.

Don't be modest!! This is definitely something to brag about. Good for you and well done! Okay so it's your job - that doesn't make it any less heroic. I'm sure the family will be ever greatful. Be proud. :smile2:

I don't have much to brag about.... except for the fact that I have Stephen Kings signature in my copy of Lisey's Story (not bought that way, I stood in line for 14 hours, waiting for SK to sign it). And.... I've had dinner with our very own Ms Mod. Yes I'm bragging about that - because she's just such a lovely lady. Yes you are Ms Mod. :blush:

[Moderator]

Takes one to know one, Ms. Marianne. :smile2: Good to see you back among us.

I guess this means that you go through life constantly buzzed Patricia. Does it cause problems in sobriety tests? :biggrin2:

Congratulations on all of the beautiful babies and well deserved brags everyone.

[babylove]

i just ordered a bunch of SK books today,among lots of others~so that's my brag!can't wait till they get here.:love::love:

[dragafari]

The Great Kilted One, you are great, indeed. Applauses!

[LadyPain]

Don't know if I can really brag yet, but when the manager was introducing me to a new department manager at work, she added another title into her description of me. Kind of smells of a minor promotion to me...

I hope it is what I think it is and that it involves a pay raise because it sure wasn't a part of my job description at my last performance review earlier this year.

*crosses everything*

How did I miss this? What a wonderful, beautiful act of selflessness! You know, someone did that for my little sister once and I never got to thank them. So let me thank you for saving a life.

Hi,

Just received a goodie bag from my very good friend, Kim - Woo Hoo!

Kim has very kindly sent me three books -

Al Kooper's autobiography; great title 'Backstage Passes and Backstabbing B*stards, Memoirs of a Rock'n'roll Survivor'. Al Kooper has been one of my idols ever since he played organ on Dylan's Blonde on Blonde over forty years ago (sigh).

The Oxford American magazine, Southern Music Issue WITH a CD. Woo Hoo!

And 'Goodnight Bush - An Unauthorised Parody', sounds good to me.

Plus a really nice t-shirt (Real Men Read) from a SF bookshop. I'll let Kim tell you the name of the bookshop LOL

Thankee big-big, Kim, very much appreciated indeed!

Long days and pleasant nights

The bookshop is "West Portal Bookstore," on West Portal St. Looked for Charlie the Choo Choo or Riddle Me This! but couldn't find them, so settled for Goodnight Bush and the T shirt.

[AngelZ]

Blackeye, your baby is gorgeous! You are lucky. My babies are grown now 8 and 5. Still cute, but not baby goo-goo cute like your's right now.

Kilted One Wow! I can never say I saved someone's life. But I did give birth twice. :biggrin2:

My brag pales in comparison: I've stuck to my exercise regimen for 2 months and now I am down one dress size.

[scary cat]

I ran in a marathon 2 years ago and last year I competed and completed a triathlon. I am not fast but steady and will finish. I am really proud of that.

[Volic]

And.... I've had dinner with our very own Ms Mod. Yes I'm bragging about that - because she's just such a lovely lady. Yes you are Ms Mod. :blush:

Ohhhh, I wish I could brag about this fact too!!!!!:biggrin2::love:

I got my car back! My husband was in a wreck on the 4th, no one was hurt, but there was a lot of damage, both doors, the frame between them and the rear quarter panel had to be replaced, but it's home now, looks better than before! Plus they did a few extra things totally gratis, fixed my shifter and ignition.

[BlackEye]

I have registered myself at the gym..........:eyebrow:

Awesome!

I recently started working out(6 or so weeks ago I guess???). I feel better already and have lost 8 or so lbs. I have been putting on muscle, so it is hard to tell by the scale how well I am doing. I went 5 times this week. I have an addictive personality I suppose. But stick with it! Who knew sweating could be so much fun? :biggrin2:
