DC Tom Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Okay, seriously... My master's thesis. Sweated blood over it, did a good job, good enough that it's been referenced in a few published papers that I've seen. My own very tiny little slice of immortality.
Chef Jim Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Number one Managing Partner for my firm two years in a row breaking the revenue records for MP group both times. And no I couldn't do it again seeing I'm no longer a Partner.
Kevin Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 She must had some hairy legs at the end of that summer!
boyst Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Do you like gladiator movies Billy? If being serious, I will answer...if not, too bad, I still will. No. I cannot stand UFC, 300, Troy, HeMan, any of that. It just seems too silly for me - and it is not even that it is pretty much homo-erotic celebrations.
Jim in Anchorage Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Okay, seriously... My master's thesis. Sweated blood over it, did a good job, good enough that it's been referenced in a few published papers that I've seen. My own very tiny little slice of immortality. Was your summation "Don't like it? Then you're a idiot. @%*% moron?" No wonder it was published.
ajzepp Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Saving a life my first year in the hospital when the overhead "code" notification system was down. And then, when I was unknowingly caring for the man's wife a year later, seeing the man I saved sitting in the corner of the room start crying when his wife told him who I was.
GoodBye Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Finishing not one but two half marathons. But I will never do it again...too old.

The Poojer Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Never say 'never'....i am not a runner and i'd love to do this...hell i'd be happy with a 5K Finishing not one but two half marathons. But I will never do it again...too old.
Bufcomments Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Getting laid with a bartender the first night in Perth, Australia . Just even getting though the all sea trip was hard . But worth it . Thank US Navy. i realize that's never gonna happen again
NyQuil Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) I was academically dismissed from a college on the first go around. I vowed to get my Bachelor's from there and I did. The first code I ever worked as an EMT was actually saved. I got to shake his hand a couple months later. Edited April 14, 2012 by NyQuil
birdog1960 Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 hiking the appalachian trail...just haven't got around to it yet, maybe when i retire. in reality, it's 27 happy years of marriage.
Dan Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 A couple things kinda stand out, when I think about it. Academically: Survived the academic system long enough to obtain my Doctorate In Biological Sciences. I'm the only member of my immediate or extended family to earn a PhD.-- I'd like to think I could do it again, but I just don't know if I have the energy any more. Professionally: I was on the pile on 9/12 through the end of that December doing all sort and manner of things.-- I hope to never do something like that again, and hope no one else ever does either. Personally: I accomplished my childhood goal of saving up, buying a car and seeing what was beyond that curve in the road just outside the small town I grew up in. -- Still doing that to this day.
Beerball Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Three seemingly well adjusted children who I hope surpass my wildest dreams for them. Do it again in a minute.

BuffaloBud Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Sorry - 3 things. Surviving cancer. Surviving being laid off 3 times. Riding 100 miles on my bike to raise cancer research funds 3 times. Going for #4 this summer.
BuffaloBillsSD Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 First one is completing Marine Corps boot camp, I was a late join (24 years old when I started) and not in the best shape. A lot of people doubted I could do it because I never listened to anyone and had never really completed anything. Getting me Eagle, Globe, and Anchor is something I will never forget. I would like to think I could do it again but I don't know if I could deal with DI's screaming at me for 13 weeks again. Second is surviving Iraq.
