Building a house that I'll take possession of in 37 days. It means less road trips to see hockey, maybe not upgrading my computer ever 2 years, etc etc, but feels pretty great to own land and your own house.

Not having kids because 'most anyone can do that, but raising two outstanding young adults may be it for me. Of course, I had help.

*I wish I could list more but we were asked for one achievement.

Being a good parent is. And I think I've done that.

But that's an easy answer as well.

With all the divorce happening around me these days, keeping a 15 year relationship going may be my greatest achievement.

Or, in a more selfish answer, finishing the Transrockies 5 years ago with a torn meniscus.

That's like saying walking is an achievement because some people are in wheelchairs.

Just having a kid shouldn't be enough reason to be proud, but being a good parent absolutely should be.

I think you're missing the point.

This isn't a "Please tell me what you think your greatest achievement is, so I can scrutinize it uncontrollably"

It's a

"I'm curious what you're most proud of yourself for" thread.

It's not the internet if there aren't individuals wanting to crap on what other people are proud of.

In no order
  • So far providing a greater quality of living for my kids than I had
  • 7 years in the military, including 7 months in a sh*thole
  • Staying married

I never could find that last quarter heart in SNES Zelda. Still pisses me off, 20+ years later.

The tigger incident. Back when I was 13 we were playing D&D in my buddies basement. He had this big fat cat named Tigger that would crap on the floor. I mean this cat was a monster, like 50 pounds of grumpy cat. The cat would stare at whomever was around, squat down, open its sphincter, and proceed to dump a load and I swear to Christ it would get a grin on its face. Well, we were playing D&D because we were nerds like that and Tigger dragged his fat ass into the room and proceeded to squat. My friend Jay yelled at him and I threw my pencil at Tigger and what happened next was a million to one shot! As Tigger's kitty anus opened up my pencil arrived at the same time and went about a quarter deep into his rectum. Tigger's puckerhole tightened up like a snare drum around that pencil and that fat bugger took off faster than I would have ever thought he could move up the stairs, pencil sticking out of his ass! We found him under Jay's mom's bed and poor Jay had to play magician and pull a pencil out of a cats ass. Even writing this I am laughing like crazy, it is one of those things you can never replicate. Probably not my greatest achievement but a fun story none the less.

That's the funniest thing I've heard in weeks. Months. Maybe this year.

Getting a vasectomy before having a kid... and having a wife that was fully on-board with the decision!
