8 years ago, I'd just been made unemployed & my partner fell pregnant. Scared to death as to our future, I said out-loud "I'm going to get a job, learn to drive, & buy a house for our child to grow up in".
Currently typing this in my car, outside work, having waved goodbye to my wife & son at our house before I left. Took a few years, but I like to remember that I made a big plan & actually completed it.

That I thought of this: Of everything I’ve seen in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, a Florida prison guard telling another not to shoot a prisoner because they had their hands up is the single most unrealistic thing I’ve come across. Another was in 2015, there was a convention that was going to have a panel with the full fast of Power Rangers SPD, and there was a call for submissions for short scenes with the cast to do a live reading of them at the convention. Not only was my submission chosen -- it was also the very first one they performed: The video should go to just about the start of the reading.

Just glad both my sons have managed to turn out to be great guys. Oldest is settled in his career. Got his first house this year. And looks like he is going to get married late next year.
My youngest is almost done with high school. Wanted to take a year off and work for his grandfather while he figured out what he wants to take in college.Just incredibly proud of him. He started school off in Special Ed,he has aspergers,and went from being the kid that barely passed most classes to being on the honor roll and in advanced placement classes.

I'm proud that I just had my first virtual meet'n'greet with an actor, got my tech stuff to work right, didn't make a COMPLETE idiot of myself, asked a question that kind of impressed him, AND waited until it was over to start shaking like a goof. lol.

I pulled a Peggy Hill- I threw a fit, and took off with the family Thanksgiving turkey. Except, I told my family ahead of time, I was canceling Thanksgiving because I was focusing on my new job, and was making the bird for my work Christmas party.
At first, I was upset because no one was going for my turkey. I made the mistake of not bringing any carving utensils. But when I left to start my shift an hour after the party started, of all people, the one coworker I dislike came up gushing about how great it was! By the time I went to collect my dish, all that was left was the juices and one picked clean leg bone

Oh, sorry for not clarifying! It turned out after I left, the manager arranged for the necessary tools, lol

I was going to avoid posting in this thread just because I hate blowing smoke up my own ass. To meet my feelings halfway I’ll blow smoke up my ass, but for something silly I did that I’m still proud of. On another forum I post on I made this post:
In context the post actually has nothing to do with Hulk Hogan or wrestling. I’m sorry I can’t reveal the actual context without violating board rules though.

I'm currently off my anti-anxiety meds (due to my doctor forgetting to refill them, a mistake that I believe is being corrected), yet I'm mostly managing to keep my mood swings in check and am in the middle of a very productive writing session.

I was beaten up, when I was younger. It still affects me, sometimes, but, my family and friends have helped. I will be the person, in a quiet setting, who thinks of something, and cracks up. I could have a life of continued fear, but I choose happiness. And trying things I never thought I would do, like zip lining 180 feet above ground.

Rain or shine, I take my two dogs out four times a day. I’ve worked from home for almost two years which makes it easier, but I know that I do right by them.
Actually, working from home is also something I’m proud of. It’s not for everybody, but I’ve got into a routine where I’ve made it work for me without getting cabin fever.

Five years ago, I hit rock bottom. I had just lost out on my dream. I was living in my car, and the only job I could get, I made about $7,500 a year. (Not a typo; I worked for peanuts and only took home $625 a month). Although I was depressed as hell and at times, wanted nothing more than my own death, I stayed in the fight and kept trying and improving myself. Recently, I accepted my first six-figurr salary job with great benefits and a really sweet work life balance. I got there with one-third talent, one-third luck, and one-third not letting the darkness that my life had become overtake me.
