List of accomplishments

List of accomplishments

A Poem by T.S. Ulmus
"

It's taken many years and much effort to rack up this sort of curriculum vitae

"
I was down so I decided to create a list of my greatest accomplishments and personal attributes to make myself feel better.

-seriously considered learning CPR
-my shoulder has a pretty cool scar
-not allergic to bees, unless they sting me
-only rarely do I get angry
-right-handed
-I once sanded (a box)
-smashed my thumb in a door and barely cried
-had a frog but it died
-can add single digits in a flash
-watched every episode of M.A.S.H.
-ate three hot dogs in a row
-invited on a date, but didn't go
-I sometimes look a person in the eye
-never honk my horn though often sigh
-I can pick stuff up with my toes
-when I squish a firefly it glows

Yup, life well led

I think this is the best list of accomplishments I have ever seen. Seriously though, this list put a smile on my face, I don't know how in the hell I missed it going through your stuff, someone else reviewed it and it showed up in my feed. Thought you had posted it today. It made me giggle. :)

I suppose there are pretty good where you come from, but I must tell you that there were three times in my life that I didn't see a UFO. I have witnesses to this.

My biggest achievement of the year was not getting slapped in the face with a tree branch on Saturday passed. I stayed in that day, hence no treeslap. Add that with only falling down a hill 3 times and if you put those together, it’s been quite a successful year 😂
I was also quite successful at not being successful, but there’s always next year.😀

this made me smile...this was like looking in a mirror. Most of what is on this list, reflects me.
Thanks for the reminder...and my finger still hurts from when I was a little kid in NY. My mom dropped my sister and me off at school in our big old 50 Plymouth. When my sister shut the door my finger was caught in it, and my mom started driving off...we were yelling at her and I was running along side the car...
she finally heard and stopped...and I have one really cool scar, but it is so small and barely visible.
Scars inside though...and as the song said, we bleed just to know we are alive.
But a life well led doesn't have to be a famous one...just famous enough in our own little world.
Appreciate this, T.S.

With the job market like it is, this resume is as good as any.

These items are so well-selected & sloppily uttered, I couldn't add a thing to such a list. You've painted a vivid picture of this lackadaisical lowlife. My list goes like this -- never did marriage, kids, cellphone, pop culture & no TV most of my life. Paints a picture of a non-conformist loner *wink! wink!* I love your acerbic wit in this one & just the whole idea of it (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hello my friend. A good list or a bad list? I believe everyday, we create more to-do list and things to be learn. I have four grandchildren sleeping in the house. Maybe they are my accomplishments? I hope you are doing well, having some fun. Be safe and thank you for sharing your words and your thoughts.

I kinda like list's. Top tenz baby. It's been done for literally decades upon decades but I still can't turn away. I don't believe you watched every episode of MASH.

Alan Alda overacted, but he carried the show. The original movie was better.
