The Bragging Thread!!! :)

[Kitten]

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:

[mvt317]

Can I brag on my son for a bit?
He's 10, he plays little league, and I just found out that not only is he an awesome catcher, which has been his position for the last 3 years, the boy can pitch too!
79 pitches, 56 strikes (including ones the batters fouled off). Only two kids hit off him. This was only his second time pitching. I couldn't believe how good he did.
Now the coach is changing his position a little...he will still catch, but he's also going to be the closing pitcher.
I am so proud of him!

[MrsSmeej]

Congratulations Kitten.

Woohoo! Congratulations to you! Always nice to get rewarded for hard work.

Here's my big brag - I found a matching pair of socks this morning!

[PatInTheHat]

My buttermilk biscuits were absolutely perfect this morning and all of my sunflowers have sprouted!

Oh, and I got the flea collars on the cats and only needed one band-aid (it has little strawberries on it:blush:)

Lizard slushie that's almost a miracle in my house.

Hi,

Congrats, Kitten, that's great, and I know just how hard it is for an adult to return to education. Well done!

Regarding the socks - I solved this many years ago by buying a lot of pairs of identical socks. I only ever have the obligatory one odd sock (he said smugly); it was the hell of attempting to match up the kids socks that drove me to this epiphany.

Long days and pleasant nights

Thanks Lizard slushie! and congratulations on the matching pair of socks! If you find an extra one, it's probably mine. I think there's a magic tunnel in the dryer that sends extra socks to other dryers... that's why we can't find them. j/k

Congrats Kitten
Oh, FYI, my parents called me that as a Nickname!

[BlackThorn]

Aww, spideyman. I saw your avatar and thought you'd have somethin fun to brag about. I got excited.

Here, lemme do my thing...

No matter what a person thinks they can do to push me down, it doesn't work. It's impossible, because I just won't look at it when you're pushing, and won't make a deal out of it at all. Then, in some nonchalant way, I'll talk about something I wanted to talk about anyways, and they'll be pushed down by it in some way. It's nothing to anyone if they're not stand-offish to begin with, really. But someone who busts in the scene trying to one up an individual like myself, just ends up getting themselves burned.

I'm not saying I'm infallible, but what I'm saying is, pretending and trying to prove you're the boss around me is just gonna make me pull some move on you just using my instincts, or predestination maybe, to sweat you away. I don't care if you're a millionaire in front of me bragging about buying another laptop from walmart on your return trip up to Canada, I'm gonna make the guy behind the counter that could probably never afford that laptop to begin with, feel better as a human being after you've walked away. I'm gentle though, and unless someone deserves it I don't throw it at their face, intentionally trying to destroy what they feel is their power, when all in all what they're bragging about, or feeling makes them so special by being able to climb on top, really only proves they're climbing on top of a little pile, that I'm not really interested in.

Thanks for your investment, but don't you have someone else to abuse with how much cooler you think you are than me, and whoever else you were showing off to?

Hehe, yes, I do think I'm special. =o)

Other than that, I put about 50,000 emulated Read Only Memory (ROM) cartridge images on every xbox that touches my hands. Up for a little Sonic 2 honey? Or didn't you play video games as a pup?

Everyone likes to brag, no exception here. Well, I've had the highest productivity index in my department for the 2nd year now (about 50 people in my department). I went to the boss yesterday requesting a merit raise, but he says I'm already fairly compensated. He said he would take it up the chain, but that doesn't look good for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Solar-Pavlova]

My brag is my 4 year old son can quote back starwars from 5 of the films, mostly from episodes IV, V & VI, not episode III though as it's a little too violent and has a rating of 12 here in england so it's a no go till then.

Congratulations Kitten!!!

My bragging moment:

My oldest daughter goes to a private Catholic high school because we live in the city and the city public schools aren't that great. She is a freshman this year and had received a partial scholarship for art so that she could attend. Well, each year they have to re-apply for their scholarships. We got the packet from the school on Monday that included next years billing and her scholarship information. Well the tuition for next year went up. My heart dropped, because even with half paid by scholarship that would be very very hard for us to pay for (our youngest daughter is also in a private grade school). Well, I looked at her scholarship information. Because of all her hard work this past year, and her talent, her tuition is will be PAID IN FULL!!!!! Her art teacher and the head of the art department said that they haven't had a student with such natural ability in years. They are amazed by her talent. :biggrin2:

WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER!!!

Here's my big brag - I found a matching pair of socks this morning!

That would be a huge one for my hubby-little does he know I sneak his socks to wear (which are always in a big jumble in his drawer) and I always get 2 mismatched ones--but I don't care because I usually am wearing my cowboy boots -so no one can tell. Every morning he is like-I know I washed a pair-where the heck is that other one?!?! I pretend sleep.:oops:

Very nice Spidey! You have a very noble position where you can contribute in such a nice way. Thank you.

I wish I could have something as rewarding on a personal level like that. I don't have too much to brag about. I guess along the same lines as these academic feats, my high school team won the best design in the nation in an engineering challenge. That steered me towards engineering... the whole "maybe this is something I'd be good at" thing. I've been designing microchips for over 10 years now that go in a variety of everyday useful items such as automobiles, cell phones, computers, kids toys, etc... It is kind of a nice feeling. I don't brag about these things - but in a geeky way at least I think it is cool. :biggrin2:

I am sure the thing I will brag most about going forward is my boy. :) The first time he gets a base hit, and A on a test, etc... :love:

[Todash]

Regarding the socks - I solved this many years ago by buying a lot of pairs of identical socks. I only ever have the obligatory one odd sock (he said smugly); it was the hell of attempting to match up the kids socks that drove me to this epiphany.

Long days and pleasant nights

My husband has probably 40 pairs of white socks, of which probably 37 pairs are unique. He is supposed to start traveling for work. The first time he is out of town, I'm throwing out or donating all his old socks and buying 20 ankle socks and 20 long socks. When he gets back he will complain about the waste, but by then it will be a fait accompli. I don't know if I can explain clearly enough how very much I am looking forward to this happening.

Oh, bragging! In a few weeks we will be moving in with my in-laws so that we can save tons of money over the next few years (and help them redo their house in the meantime). Then we will build a house!

[The Gooch]

I am pretty low key and humble for the most part. I guess if I was to brag it would be that I have a huge house (5000 sq. feet) with lots of toys (swimming pool, hot tub, roman tub in the master bathroom, 3 car garage, 5 acres of property). 5 bathrooms seems rather ridiculous, but it is funny how you get used to it. The fact it will be paid off in 6 years is also pretty sweet considering my age.

ummm? Guys? I've been reading these over and don't believe any of them qualify as bragging... Bragging has such a negative connotation, don't you think? These have been more along the lines of statements of fact. You all apparently have brilliant children and, in Shasta's case, amazingly agile bodies... Clever and witty minds... That's not bragging people, that's just telling it like it is. :grinning: I cook really good banana-bread.

I guess I too have to brag about my son. He is 19 and is in his first year in college. He was born with a terrible deformity of his left arm and hand. He only has use of his pointer finger on that side, but he has overcome this and is a 4.0 student. He is studying computer science and has been awarded highest honors every quarter that he has been in school. He is amazingly intelligent and has overcome many obstacles in his life. He is my hero and I count myself blessed to be his mother.:bat:

Your absolutely correct, I wasn't bragging...not even trying...I can be a bit of a slacker sometimes:down:.

~My buttermilk biscuits come out totally perfect and mouth watering delicious EACH & EVERY SINGLE TIME...it's nothing short of gastronomically amazing is what I'm sayin'!!!
Jellies and jams practically jump out of the jar and the butter churns itself, just to hitch a short lived ride, they are just that scrumptious!~

Every one's got such great things -it is awesome.

The nicest thing that happened to me (other than my daughter every day) is that when I was posting my Three Kings and One Jester thing I got a lot of nice compliments and (Ms. Mod I hope you don't mind me posting this-if you do just nix it :smile2:-really) Ms. Mod, in response to me asking her to delete something for me mentioned that she liked my Three King posts and that she thought I was a good writer. That made my day- my week!! Thank- you Ms. Mod!!!

The only thing I can think of to brag about is this...

I stood up to a man who thought he was my one and only reason for living and asked him to leave my life forever.

I only need 1 reason to get up in the morning=it is a beautiful day. My children just bring that extra bit of sunshine to my day.

My oldest is an honor roll student and captain of her cheer squad:

ouch :oh::oo::smile2:

And just think Spidey . . .Tcgob spends time looking at his poop! :eek2:

But I guess one that's as big as a school bus is a little hard to ignore.

[Gwenivere]

I finally got my taxes done!:biggrin2: I know it's well past the 14th but what are they gonna do? I like to live dangerously and break all the rules.:blush:

[marew1]

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

That's wonderful Kitten all your hard work paid off! It's not easy getting "A"s. I wish you much success in your future endeavors.

I hope you don't mind if I brag a "little" as I don't get much of a chance to do that. I have two Associate Degrees, one Bachelor of Arts degree and one Master of Science degree. I am certified as: a history teacher, school librarian, electronics teacher and educational supervisor (sometimes I think I am certifiable). I served in a vocational school district for twenty years. I am medically retired from teaching.

I also served in the Active Duty Air Force (twelve and a half years), Air Force Reserves (two years) and New Jersey Air National Guard (eleven and a half) years. I retired from the military in 2000 with 26 years of service. A highlight of my Air Force career was being a passenger on a KC-135 refueler and watching an F-16 refueled in flight.

I am not a writer and did not make this stuff up. Truth is stranger than fiction.

[Kitten]

Hi,

Congrats, Kitten, that's great, and I know just how hard it is for an adult to return to education. Well done!

Regarding the socks - I solved this many years ago by buying a lot of pairs of identical socks. I only ever have the obligatory one odd sock (he said smugly); it was the hell of attempting to match up the kids socks that drove me to this epiphany.

Long days and pleasant nights

Thanks John! You're very smart. lots of identical socks. I'll have to try that! :)

Kitten

[Kitten]

I'm a Beta Board Tester . . .or is it Board Beta Tester.

Well one way to get it right is to say I help test Stephen King's Message Board.

That's a good brag!

:biggrin2:

That is so so cool! ... I want to do that! :)

[Kitten]

Congrats Kitten
Oh, FYI, my parents called me that as a Nickname!

cool! speaking of nicknames. My oldest daughter is Princess, the middle daughter is Kitten, and the youngest daughter is Noodles. :) Where would we be without nicknames? lol! :D

[Kitten]

Today - I finished a New York Times Sunday Crossword puzzle. :geek:

Now that's awesome! Those things are tough!

[Kitten]

Everyone likes to brag, no exception here. Well, I've had the highest productivity index in my department for the 2nd year now (about 50 people in my department). I went to the boss yesterday requesting a merit raise, but he says I'm already fairly compensated. He said he would take it up the chain, but that doesn't look good for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.


I'm crossing my paws for you too. :)

[Kitten]

My brag is my 4 year old son can quote back starwars from 5 of the films, mostly from episodes IV, V & VI, not episode III though as it's a little too violent and has a rating of 12 here in england so it's a no go till then.

'The force will be with you, always'

Absolutely awesome! He must be very smart! :)

[Kitten]

Congratulations Kitten!!!

My bragging moment:

My oldest daughter goes to a private Catholic high school because we live in the city and the city public schools aren't that great. She is a freshman this year and had received a partial scholarship for art so that she could attend. Well, each year they have to re-apply for their scholarships. We got the packet from the school on Monday that included next years billing and her scholarship information. Well the tuition for next year went up. My heart dropped, because even with half paid by scholarship that would be very very hard for us to pay for (our youngest daughter is also in a private grade school). Well, I looked at her scholarship information. Because of all her hard work this past year, and her talent, her tuition is will be PAID IN FULL!!!!! Her art teacher and the head of the art department said that they haven't had a student with such natural ability in years. They are amazed by her talent. :biggrin2:

WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER!!!

OMG!!! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations! I know you must be bursting with joy right not!

Kitten

[ruthiesky]

ouch :oh::oo::smile2:
It's only worth it if you dump the school bus and blow your horn at the same time, honey.

And if you give it a royal flush and it comes back up volkswagons...that's an added bonus button for ya.

[Kitten]

That would be a huge one for my hubby-little does he know I sneak his socks to wear (which are always in a big jumble in his drawer) and I always get 2 mismatched ones--but I don't care because I usually am wearing my cowboy boots -so no one can tell. Every morning he is like-I know I washed a pair-where the heck is that other one?!?! I pretend sleep.:oops:

:rofl:

[ruthiesky]

I took Google's white logo with the metal tulips and turned it all into a black Google logo with neon, glass tulips on my blog.

Last night in yoga I did this pose called Bird of Paradise, which I never, ever thought I'd be able to do. It rocked!

Cool! I'm not sure exactly what that looks like. I do know if you never thought you could do it ... I can't do it. At least not now ... maybe later. lol! I've got to get into shape.

[Kitten]

:eek2: With a pen?

now, that would really be bragging ... or really a mess ... or both! lol!

[Kitten]

We need a "Super Dooper Pooper Scooper" thread! lol!

[Kitten]

Your absolutely correct, I wasn't bragging...not even trying...I can be a bit of a slacker sometimes:down:.

~My buttermilk biscuits come out totally perfect and mouth watering delicious EACH & EVERY SINGLE TIME...it's nothing short of gastronomically amazing is what I'm sayin'!!!
Jellies and jams practically jump out of the jar and the butter churns itself, just to hitch a short lived ride, they are just that scrumptious!~

Now that's right proper braggin' :blush:!



Hear Hear...Biscuits (and jelly) for me and all my men...yeah yeah and women:wink2:!
:biggrin2:


Oh! Good banana bread! one of my favorites! Can I have some? I can not make good banana bread. I add too much baking soda and/or baking powder, or maybe I'm mixing it wrong. It has a baking soda taste to it. :tongue:

[Kitten]

Every one's got such great things -it is awesome.

The nicest thing that happened to me (other than my daughter every day) is that when I was posting my Three Kings and One Jester thing I got a lot of nice compliments and (Ms. Mod I hope you don't mind me posting this-if you do just nix it :smile2:-really) Ms. Mod, in response to me asking her to delete something for me mentioned that she liked my Three King posts and that she thought I was a good writer. That made my day- my week!! Thank- you Ms. Mod!!!

Oh! That's cool! She's an expert! :) We all love Ms. Mod!!! :love:

[Kitten]

:love: :smile2:

Oh! I can see why! He's such a doll!

[Dana]

Omigosh, I can see why. He looks like such a sweet little one. :)
Thank you!

TOTAL BRAGGING RIGHTS!
And thank you too!

Ok, well I guess it's my turn. I'm gonna brag on my kids

My oldest is an honor roll student and captain of her cheer squad:

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/dionnaj/Keli-gangsta.jpg

My middle is into soccor and volley ball and is also an honor student...and has the sweetest personality you'll ever meet:

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/dionnaj/0105082144.jpg

And my baby is an all around boy, loves all sports, is a great athlete and is his mama's protector, and is also an honor student:

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n66/dionnaj/Elissmile.jpg
Beautiful children, all of them!
I made a poop shaped like a school bus. I'm so proud of me.
Eww! :laugh:

[brownmouse]

I guess I too have to brag about my son. He is 19 and is in his first year in college. He was born with a terrible deformity of his left arm and hand. He only has use of his pointer finger on that side, but he has overcome this and is a 4.0 student. He is studying computer science and has been awarded highest honors every quarter that he has been in school. He is amazingly intelligent and has overcome many obstacles in his life. He is my hero and I count myself blessed to be his mother.:bat:

That is , indeed, a thing to brag about. Good for you and your son- I'm sure he is a great guy!! Too bad I am old and married:biggrin2:

[Matticus]

My adult daughter is a wonderful Mother!

[SusanNorton]

Good lord.:glare:


Did the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round?

[SusanNorton]

Oh Lord! SusanNorton, you and I would be great friends off this board. Did you throw him into the pits of hell? I couldn't beat Tom Morello on easy!

Maybe we could battle for Dave Barry. Slow Ride on easy. High Noon.

Tom Morello... *raspberry noise* to him! I had more trouble beating him than anyone, probably because that noise he was making didn't sound like music to me.

And girl, I threw Satan into the pit head first. According to the game, I am now "a rock legend." I'm still waiting for my check...

Slow Ride on easy? For Dave Barry? Maybe for his big toe! How 'bout this: we start with the big toe and work our way up? The grand prize, his head and brain, will be given to the one who can play "One" by Metallica on Expert level. This may take years, by the way.

[BlackThorn]

Not only can I dance realllllllllly well, but I'm not afraid to do it in front of anybody in the universe, and I'm usually the one that sets the heartbeat on the dance floor, just cause of how much fun I have with it.

The downside though, would be that I only like to do it alone really, when I'm dancing I'm enjoying the way it makes me feel so much that I just slip into my own world completely. That, and the way I dance is too energetic and forceful to dance with another. I've never grinded with a girl in my life, because that's just not how I learned to dance, or the reason I'm moving like I do when I'm out on the floor. When I dance, it's much more animal than sexual, although I do retain all my class throughout.

I do consider this something that's bragworthy, because without people doin it like I do, everybody would be to scared of what others think of them to even set foot on that floor. I make it damn well known that I don't care in the least about that stuff, and if I like the way you move too, you'll know it by my natural reaction to it, and playful gestures taunting you to come forward and have more fun with it.

[Solar-Pavlova]

I played Deep purple's smoke on the water when i was sleepwalking when i was 14!

and it was pluged in to my amp!

Hi,

OK, off topic, but banana bread is an invention that hasn't crossed the pond yet.

Could you give a recipe please, it sounds great.

Long days and pleasant nights

This isn't my recipe, I found it in an old Joy of Cooking cookbook, and it's my favorite.

Quick banana bread

Have all ingredients at room temp.

Preheat oven to 350

sift together: 1 3/4 cups flour, 2 1/4 tsp double-acting baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt

Blend until creamy: 1/3 cup shortening, 2/3 cup sugar, 3/4 tsp grated lemon rind

beat in: 1 to 2 beaten eggs, 1 to 1 1/4 cups ripe banana pulp (the older the bananas, the better)

add the sifted ingredients in 3 parts to the sugar mixture. beat the batter after each addition until smooth.

Fold in (optional): 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup craisins or other dried fruit

Pour batter into greased bread pan. Bake about 1 hour.

I'm bragging about my 2 grandkids.Paige is 7 and as sweet as can be and Dustin is 11 and is a great student. I'm proud of both of them. How's that ?

Debbie

[smjohn]

The only thing I can think of to brag about is this...

I stood up to a man who thought he was my one and only reason for living and asked him to leave my life forever.

I only need 1 reason to get up in the morning=it is a beautiful day. My children just bring that extra bit of sunshine to my day.

Good for you, sister! You can make it. Lean on me if you have to...I've been a single mom for years and I too have 3 kids. You may find it's alot easier by yourself sometimes. When it gets too much, though, and you feel like you might explode, PM me. I'll be here for you to sound off on, 'cause I probly been there and done that':love:

[Dana]

My adult daughter is a wonderful Mother!
You are so sweet! I bet if she knew you said that, it would mean alot to her!:smile2:

Do the rumours about a possible re-union of the fabled Corpse Toes have any basis in fact?

Has Hell frozen over?

[marew1]

:smile2: Enough about me (different post), I'd like to brag about my son. He studied to be a math teacher and minored in computers. He taught math for half a year in one school district. A superintendent my son met at a job fair was very impressed with my son. The superintendent kept contacting my son about a position. My son decided to apply and interview for the position. He is now the district technology coordinator and takes care of all the schools computers. He also aspires to be a principal and just completed his first graduate course toward that end.

I'm also braggin' about our daughter-in-law. She used to work full time for a casino. Now she's a part-time employee there. She works full time as a computer lab assistant in the same school district as my son. I admire her stamina. My husband and I are proud of both of them.

Hi,

Well, that's a pretty good brag, BlackEye, what a beautiful baby!

Long days and pleasant nights

[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.

Beeeuuuutiful cub and with a master plan! LOL, it really does look like he's figuring it all out, awww. Thanks.

[mojomofo]

Well, I am impressed! I always knew there were many talented people on the MB! I am loving all the stories and pictures of kids, as a parent I realize now how much work goes into these little people, and their accomplishments reflect on their fantastic parents.

School bus? WOW! That's a skill set I will never have!


The only thing I have to brag about is my own kids, they are fantastic, and if I could figure out how to post pix, I would. (So obviously, no bragging about technical skills, huh?!)

BTW, I want in on the banana bread baking contest and the Guitar Hero one too. I will rock your world!!! lol

[Dana Jean]

very sweet baby.

[tcgob]

Sorry guys-- it seems I was incapable of saying anything serious yesterday. Somebody must have left the lid off the glue. I tend to do that when I have absolutely nothing of substance to contribute to a conversation.

[BlackEye]

BlackEye, he is adorable. Proud Papa for sure.


Thankee Dana, SMJohn, John, Madam, Dragon, and Spidey! :love: And anyone else wish warm regards.

He is a lot of fun. I have given him many kisses from all of you. :love: And even a couple-few here and there from me. :wink2:

Disclaimer: sappy daddy talk... bragging if you will. It is one of those things, ya know.... where you wake up at 3 AM and you go "oh geez, this blows". Then you help take a shift feeding him cause Mommy is "right out straight" - sorry, northern Maine dialect. You feed him, comfort him, and pat him firmly between the shoulder blades until he is curled into a little ball on your chest. Then you rub the tip of your nose across the top of his fuzzy head - all the while inhaling that sweet baby smell. It just makes you forget about the interruption in your rem pattern. You finally realize - there is more here than just me! :smile2: So ya... proud Papa. It was a long time coming and I'm not apologizing just the same. :wink2:

Blackeye, the baby is beautiful... And I know what you mean about the zero dark thirty bonding moments... Although my husband didn't have the joy of them... Frankly, I think those pamphlets he left around about the benefits of breast-feeding were a subtle attempt to gain more sleep. :eyebrow: Mrs and Baby Blackeye are lucky to have you.

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:

Hehe, I had a keygen program by a company called, "ACME". It had a Pinky and the Brain theme to the keygen.

I love Keygen programs, cause they need to be tiny, but they want to make them classy, so they add those oldschool 'commodore 64' type MIDI music to them. But this one was extra special. It had the theme song to Pinky and the Brain running through it, and when you hit the "go" button (with The Brain's hand mind you), it would patch your software and set you up golden.

Course, the problem with using a keygen, is that you get the key for that specific version, and it can never go online to check to see if there's a new version out, cause it knows you've manipulated the program.

Here's the ACME logo included...

[scared1]

I have recently returned to school to finish my masters degree, which is very stressful when you are working 40 plus hours a week. However, I am determined. Just finsihed the spring semester and I am hiatus until the summer sesssion begins. Hopefully I will graaduate next summer. I will be back to brag if I pull it off.:blush:

Okay since it's bragging time :D I've got something to brag about.
My novel Mercer's Bayou is coming out June 3rd. My two novellas Destiny's Mark and Marilyn are coming out sometime in June as well.
Now I have to sink back into my lair and write some more.

Sorry, I can't post specifics as it would violate the no self-promotion rule. Anyone wanting more info can PM Blue Delirium.

I got up before 6 this morning so I would have time to exercise! But then I couldn't get ahold of my exercise buddy so I went back to bed.

Oh well, getting up is the first step! :)

Getting up is 1/2 the battle!! I agree that you need an exercise buddy or at least someone who knows if you have been exercising or not.

We're starting a 6 week program together and that should make it easier for both of us to get all the way through it. I'm excited about it, I'm ready to lose my post-baby pooch.

Thanks for supporting my tiny accomplishment!

Congratulations Scared 1. What are you majoring in?

[Lizard slushie]

My husband and kids gave me the best mother's day present - a new guitar! It's an Ibanez electric acoustic, looks beautiful, sounds even better. Hmm, now I just have to learn how to play.

That is a great thing Susan because it's horrible on the body. I kicked it years ago and I don't miss it. You know what scares me? That Red Bull stuff . . .kids are getting hooked on it.

Way to go girl!

I lost 6 lbs while on vacation last month and have kept it off.

[LadyPain]

A while ago I accepted a commission to draw a portrait of a pet for someone. Luckily, she doesn't care if it takes a long time to be done. It's just cool to have the commission and know someone wants my work.:blush:

Good for you, interplanjanet; you've done a lot of hard work and it paid off. I would do serious harm to myself if I tried tae kwon do.

[Tery]

I make jewelry, as many of you know. My passion is gemstone jewelry and I work almost exclusively with them. I have occasionally done things with Swarovski crystal but, day-um, is it expensive!

Here's a couple I'm proud of;

:smile2: What an adorable baby!Very nice....you should really be proud!

[BlackEye]

:smile2: What an adorable baby!

Thank you.

I noticed that you have a plane for an avatar. Did you happen to catch the reading King did for CSpan? You'll have to look it up, but it had a little plane in it. It was an excerpt from his next novel which he describes as a beast due to its' length. I can't wait for it. His other beasts(The Stand and IT) were SO good.

[Patricia A]

Me too . . .I'd kick my own eye out! :oo:

I'm moving out of my parents' house and into my first real apartment on June 12th. Woo hoo!! :biggrin2:

Oh yeah, and I'm adopting an *adorable* Australian Cattle Dog from the humane society on the 17th. He's ten years old and his former owner is dying of cancer or something in the hospital, and the family didn't want to take care of him, so they dumped him at the shelter.

He's going to be spoiled rotten. :wink2:

[MadamMack]

ROFLMFEO!


:biggrin2:

[Spideyman]

Haven't been in this thread in awhile. Congrats on all the accomplishments.

You all have bragging rights indeed.:smile2::smile2:

Tery, the necklaces are beautiful.

Thanks lizard slushie! :blush:

[BlackThorn]

I already bragged once...

How about, the fact that my body is like a furnace, and no matter how much I eat, my metabolisim just eats it alive, and I'm horrifically addicted to dance. The dark hungry kind, where my soul isn't satisfied from the ammount of dance I've done in the last 50 incarnations, so it pulls me into overtime. Peeeling shirts covered with sweat off my body and needing a dry towel just to continue the dance.

I'm not a sexual entertainer, but that's only because I'm so paranoid, and I don't have a dark enough human weapon that can take time off to come with me and provide the big guns, just in case.


Oh, and I can beat Contra for the NES without needing the 30 man code!!

(up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a, b, select, start) [for two players]

[interplanetjanet]

Me too . . .I'd kick my own eye out! :oo:

Oh, don't think I've gotten this far without injury. When you're over 40 and slighty:eyebrow: overweight it's not possible to get through it injury-free. If I could kick high enough I probably would kick out my own eye as I am coordinatedally :eyebrow: challanged.

This is my bragging... http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd258/borninsin4/striderxmas.jpg He is my pride and joy. His name is Strider and he is 10 months old now, getting to be a big boy. I lost my last dog a little over a year ago and was quite reluctant to get another but the fiance was itching and I found him less than a mile from my house. He has just been the best thing for me, I look forward to going home and playing with him. He is so smart and picks up so quick! I love him :love:

Cute dog.

So did he like wearing the antlers?

Or did you have to strap them around his head so he wouldn't shake them off?

Did you have to say, "Listen Bub, you're wearing these antlers whether you like it or not! Hey, get back here! Honey, get the camera ready..."

I've been writing a fantasy trilogy for eleven long years and last weekend, I finished the third book. Finally, at long last my story has an ending. And it's one I'm happy with. For now anyway.

Now I have to go back and edit Book 1 again. And there are some parts of Book 2 that could use a little work....

Did you have to say, "Listen Bub, you're wearing these antlers whether you like it or not! Hey, get back here! Honey, get the camera ready..."

Actually no He LOVES to wear them, when he sees them he will carry the antlers in his mouth until you put them on and then he roams around the house all big and strutting his stuff. Its so hilarious!

[Born In Sin]

Wow he looks great. What breed is he? Can't tell with the hat/antlers. :wink2:


He is a Siberian Husky

[Born In Sin]

Thanks everyone, I can not tell you the joy and love he has given me. You can't tell in the photo but he has one blue eye and one brown and I swear they have different personalities! I just rescued a Standard Poodle last week she is a bit timid right now, a little different than I am use to, I have only had Sib. Huskies my whole life. I will show you pics when I can get her to stay still long enough and a nice groom.

[Anni M]

Okay, what can I brag about....I've made over 35 videos in less than 4 months, (in Duma Key, what does SK call it when you find something you are good at later in life, like Edgar and his art; then go wild and churn out dozens of projects one right after the other--that's me) have written 2 full length novels, pushed out one kid who didn't want to leave the womb, and haven't had a drink in 8 years...that is good enough for now, I think! :smile2:

[Shasta]

I applied to a job I really, really want at a charity that I really, really love and they have contacted me twice!!! No interview yet but I have my fingers crossed!

[MrsSmeej]

Wow Anni and Worddance and Shasta. I had been coming in to brag about cleaning my cellar out the other day, but it no longer seems like as big a deal as it did. Congratulations and good luck to all of you...

:blush: Still, I truly hate cleaning and did it anyway. We must savor what triumphs we can, right? So, yeah... I cleaned my cellar. :grinning:

[Spideyman]

Anni, your videos are awesome.

Shasta - hope that position come to you.

MsSmeej - I have an old barn that needs cleaning. You available?:blush::smile2:

[mogget3]

I wanna brag about a new addition to our little family: a new doggy!!
I'll add a photo later,because he's so movable and I haven't been able to get a decent picture...
His name is Toby,and he's 5 months old. We got him at an animal shelter. An old man who has rheumatism couldn't take care of him...Really sad how people can just ditch animals like that...
But we are happy with him and that's what's most important!

[worddance]

I had been coming in to brag about cleaning my cellar out the other day, but it no longer seems like as big a deal as it did.

[rjt65]

I will brag about first having the idea for starting this thread yeah right.. ahh yahhhh just got beat to starting it yah:eyebrow: thats the ticket...

But I finally cleaned out my 2 car garage enough to put my new car in it!! (2 brags in one) finally saved from the elements!

and Brag #2 (OK I admit I didn't think of starting this thread first :sad:)

I won the first edition of Danse Macabre on Lilja's contest last week. that I truly was amazed at, wish it was signed!

My Boston foe MrsSmeej we are interlocked- you (How long has the cellar been needing cleaning-my garage a junk heap for 5 years!)

cheers all

[mstay]

Uh, MrsSmeej - Cleaning a cellar is hardcore!!! Congratulations!!!

I agree. Especially if there were spiders!:eek2:

[sheba41]

That's terrific, rjt65. Winning stuff is so fun.

[Shasta]

Have you heard about the job? I hope you get it.

I haven't. I had to fill out this big long questionnaire about what I have done for animal rights. Fortunately it was a lot! They said to have it back by June 13 so I'm thinking they will wait for anyone else that is doing it to get it in and then I might hear something. I hope, I hope, I hope!!!! Thanks for asking!

[MrsSmeej]

Rjt65... There you go, always trying to top me. Well, the cellar has needed cleaning for 6 years. That's right, 6 years and there were spiders. Big ones. :eek2: Of course, I may have failed to mention that I cleaned the cellar by shoving all of the stuff into the garage. :biggrin2:

[interplanetjanet]

MrsSmeej,
Is there any other way to clean the cellar? :eyebrow:

[rjt65]

What can i Say! I wanted to have the car in their when i bought but still took me 2 months after I got the car. Finally the just do it mantra got me going.

My garbage men had a lot of extra work for 2 pickups.:biggrin2:

[rjt65]

Shasta good luck!

I am thinking about volunteering at the little shelter (where we got our last dog from).

When my kids get a little older, and less around for transport I will do it.

wish I could hit lotto for the mullah$$$$ than I would like to do that full time...

GOOD LUCK!

Really nice drawing Sheba41. Is he studying somewhere?

[BlackEye]

My boy gave me a great father's day present. For the first time he rolled from his stomach to his back. Multiple times... maybe 8 times. He had never done it before and did it on Father's day. :) He is 2 months old, so things like this are a big deal at this point. Not sure how much this is something to brag about, but it sure made me feel great - that is to see him learn and retain the mechanics necessary to roll over. :)

How the hell do you cross one finger? :eyebrow:
Anyway, Shasta, hope it's yours! :smile2:

My boy gave me a great father's day present. For the first time he rolled from his stomach to his back. Multiple times... maybe 8 times. He had never done it before and did it on Father's day. :) He is 2 months old, so things like this are a big deal at this point. Not sure how much this is something to brag about, but it sure made me feel great - that is to see him learn and retain the mechanics necessary to roll over. :)

Thats lovely :lovely:

they are great at that age!!! - Definitley something to brag about!!

Hi,

Oh yes, definitely bragworthy, Black Eye.

Tell me, did he get that quizzical, surprised look when he first did it?

Long days and pleasant nights

Well the first time yes. It was more because he got stuck half way and didn't know what was going on I think. He twisted the hips and threw the anchor back, but he has a hard time tucking in the arm. But after he got the hang of it he seemed to wonder less. :) Can't wait for him to go in the opposite sense - from back to stomach. I have a sony handycam where I record all these things. I never realized I was so good at play-by-play. My wife laughs at least. :)

Hi John,

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

He he.

When we go to the party I'll leave the pickin and singin to you and you leave the fighting to me. :biggrin2:

[BlackEye]

He is so cute!!! :love:

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.

:blush:

sorry - in the previous reply from me replace "sings" with "signs"

although while we are on the subject, i'll teach him some songs too
