COOL STUFF THREAD!
I am going to start a thread of all the cool stuff I’ve done in my life. This isn’t bragging. It’s reminding myself that I’ve had a good life.
I encourage all of you to post a similar thread and/or reply here with your cool life moments.

Getting ready for my 30th HS reunion and I’m still not 100% sure why I’m going. Selfishly, I think it may be because I have a PhD and the same waist size I had in ‘95 and I’m going to see how much I won by after being treated like crap for four years by people with better prospects.
