I've been a guest on the David Letterman show

I've been a guest on the David Letterman show

You can't just post that and then not tell us the story behind it!

I was in my high school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  I played Hermia and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at our end-of-year awards ceremony.  I don't know why David Letterman never had me on his show to talk about it...

When I was graduating from the sixth grade, they had an award ceremony.  One by one the awards went out and I didn't win a thing, despite getting all As.  Then they gave out the Mabel D. Gant memorial award, the highest given to anyone in the class.  Yup, you guessed it, I won it!  It looked kind of like a phi beta kappa key.  I've had letters to the editor of the LA Times published, and once was interviewed as part of three people who started an anti-smoking group.  When I was a child my pic was in the paper as I was supposed to be in a play with Edward Arnold, but I lost the part.  Last, but most importantly, my friend and I run a renal support group.

I have had a poem published in a an anthology by Poetry.com.

I had one published by them too, but I saw it strictly as a scam to get you to pay $50 for the damn book.  I never entered anything else to them again.

Every time I come across Poppylicious's post an image of her springs into my mind.

It's of Poppea, played by Ingrid Perrouche in Handel's opera "Agrippina". She's delicious, see? Click for video

Stoday, you must have met Queen Victoria, surely?

This made me chuckle lots.  My bosom heaves better than hers.  (Thought I'd share that.)

I have to jump into the corner too.  But I make a lovely peach tart. Somebody please phone Oprah and let her know I will be available for and interview Monday 8am.

Everything I have done have been personal rewards in front of friends or at home. Ate 9 Whoppers in one sitting once and ate a 10 pound candy bar in less than a week. That kind of stuff doesn't get in papers you know.

In this day and age of quick marriages and divorces, Yes it counts!

I admit to shedding a tear or two when re-reading these comments.

On the bright side, we have many new members, and maybe some of them will come along and tell us about their claim to fame!

[Beth35]

Loving all these accomplishments!

I haven't really won many awards but I graduated from college with honors.  All while living away from home in a dorm room and getting dialysis 3 times per week.  I have a bachelors in Elementary Education and Fine Arts.

I adopted two children from foster care as a single mom. 

Last football season I was in a huge football pool and not only did I win the whole thing, but I won first place in the college picks as well.  I got two wall plaques and a HUGE trophy.  Like bigger than any of the trophies I got in little league softball.  😂😂😂

Hello all!

Like Beth, I graduated from college with honors.  Summa Cum Laude if you want to get pedantic about it.     The only thing it got me was the chance to be one of the first people to walk across the stage. 

Also like Beth, I won my office college basketball pool a couple of years ago.  I got a huge trophy LOL.  When I quit my job last summer, I left it for the person who came in second who was also in my department. 

Way back in high school, I volunteered weekly at our local library in the reference department and won volunteer of the year for the county.

I ate chicken and pizza with singer Phil Perry and his wife and a few of their friends in Las Vegas a few years ago.
