Best memory of 2007
 

What has been your best memory from 2007? Mine must be attending the rollout of HMS Astute.I have a picture as my wallpaper and every time I look at it I cannot believe I was there!

I saved a co-worker from choking to death by using the Heimlich maneuver.
I had never practiced it before. I had only seen a demonstration. At first I did not give it too much thought untill, my wife told me about a friend's husband who choked to death in a crowded restaurant.

:D

I'm with Kapt Phil on this one, best memory is the other half finally moving in with me after four years :D Best memory I'd rather forget? Almost being put underwater by the North Sea surge a day after watching the film 'Flood' :lol:

Then of course there was going to see Bill Bailey in Birmingham, and Andy Parsons and Frankie Boyle at Colchester. Very funny stuff! :up:

My brother-in-law asked me about my trip to see Astute and I replied that the trip was akin to travelling 700 miles and 16 hours to go and stand outside a very expensive restaurant.I saw the shop front but the inside was very definetly off limits.It was still worth it though!

My best memory....wait darn the altzhimers just kicked in.

to be honest id rather just forget 2007 too many bad things have happend in it.

2007... lets see... It was the worst year I've ever had... I got hospitalised in the beginning of it on my birthday no-less.. and I've been on dissability since... My health has gone to crap.... I have an incurable and mostly untreatable dissorder.... Been hospitalised several times since....I'm barely scraping by with enough cash to sustain my wife and I... I lost my job because of it... I've had thousands of dollars worth of medical testing that I went through that I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to pay....I've been turned down for Social Security as they didn't even READ the information on why I was dissabled and just skimmed over notes and picked the one additional thing that was in there that had nothing to do with the dissabiltiyand made their descision as if that was the only information they had....and it doesn't look much better the seccond time around. They seem to not want to read all my documentation. It's like they pick a page at random, skim through it and make their descision.:stare:

I don't think I actually have a good memory from this year. 2007 STUNK !!!
Maybe the only decent thing that I somewhat enjoyed doing was that I made a Myspace page that I force myself to update daily to give me something to do.

I'm hopeing to start next year off much better. I'm being proactive and I'm trying to rally up a club for local experimental musicians and artists to meet at my place to do experimental reccordings and art to be released into the public domain and share reccordings and such with others in the club to give us experimental artists a place to showcase/share their stuff, work together to create new stuff, learn stuff from each other...etc...
I'm hoping to get this going by next month. I'm starting with just the experimental music aspect because I have reccording equipment and gadjets and stuff to build experimental instruments here. My state has NO experimental art scene at all. Doors are very closed to artists unless they are mainstream dance, orchestra, art, classic rock, or mainstream plays or musicals. The club I'm forming is hopefully going to give an outlet nomatter how small for these artists and with enough people working together (And I've already been in touch with a few), we may be able to raise awareness of the more fringe art that's out there or at least get some public workshops or small festivals organized.


That's my plan to make my life better. If that works... it will be my hapiest memory of 2008.

Kissed a girl for the first time. And what a girl it was....:oops: :yep:

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :up::up::up:

(Good, isnt it :p)

I had a great afternoon a couple of months ago breaking wind. :D

Man did I rock the crowd and made them laugh sure did. :lol:

Apart from that and a few other small events, 2007 was just another year of tax, bills, prices going up etc etc etc. ;)

I predict 2008 will be just as the same with more tax and price rises. :shifty:

Going home for a veterans reunion in Tehran.

Worse memory . . . losing my mother-in-law, and watching my wife settle into a state of depression for an entire year because of it. Literally stopped her cold . . . been room bound until recently.

Best Memory . . . waking up to a warm smiling/caring face:hmm: . . . to bad that couldn't last :nope: . . . well back to the 'aftermath show'

For those of you who have been married for a long time . . . what do you do when that spring of happiness that you get with being with someone runs dry . . . and you no longer feel that way?

I won't lie, this has also been my worst year ever. Barely kept it together this year. I actually lost someone too, to what now almost certainly appears to be an unsolved (and unlikely-ever-to-be-solved) murder. Don't feel like going into detail, to be honest.

But staying with the positive - I think my best moment this year was finally going over to the other side of the classroom and running the show all on my own (I ran a series of workshops for freshman classes, which is my first direct teaching experience - and I have to admit, I'm only all the more convinced that teaching's what I want to do in life :yep:)

I got lucky with Anna Kornikova....Wait, you mean actual memories.:roll:

1. Hittin' the big time in the 2007 Almanac de Subsimo:cool:.
2. Taking my son to see the Pampanito.

3. Big promotion at work.:up:
4. The return of Torplexed.

Might add that I kissed her a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time too.;)

And no it wasn't good. It was beyond any real description. (To clarify, YES; IT WAS WONDERFUL!)
