Success stories!!!

[92bDad]

A while back there were some threads that centered around success stories.

I was wondering if anyone would care to share there own success stories from the past few years.

What have you folks been doing in fitness, school, business, life...what inspiration have you had and how did you accomplish your goals?

i'm taking on politically powerful oil companies in the state of texas, and i'm holding my own and perhaps even taking some ground. also, I've managed to watch every episode of x-files over the last few months. I'm really, really proud of this.

please tell me this doesn't simply mean you bought a prius.

it's a little more involved than that....not much, but a little...

A bill is being written on a technical matter that maybe 0.0000003% of the texas population is aware of and even fewer care about. I have a literal seat at the table and it's kind of fun.

sounds big time. Have you been able to pull out the "derailing train" metaphor?

no, i'm afraid if everybody else knew how much of a kook I am politically they wouldn't take my position on this matter seriously.

"Even a kook is thought wise if he keeps silent and discerning if he holds his tongue."

Good luck at the table, man. Kick some ass.
