"Mark, that is what MEN do." Keep working on that MBA, hopefully, you will get a sense of pride from the accomplishment. I am much more prideful that he is. It is a character flaw that I am acutely aware of. One the bright side of that flaw is that I feel pretty great about life most days.

For me it's a GCMG or nothing.

Pride is an emotion you should reserve for others, esp children. To feel it of yourself is a bit dodgy and a slippery slope.

this is true. My oldest son started school this year, and last week he finally got all the buttons on his school uniform done by himself. I can't remember the last time I was that proud of anything i did personally. Seriously

I agree Manny, we have heartfelt comments about military service, becoming a parent, earning a degree or reward, overcoming an addiction, serious topics that make you glad to be alive; then someone pipes in with a sexual conquest.
Good for you but if you want to brag take it to a sex blog, not TRF. |

if you look at the other guys posts over his last few comments I can see why the moderators made the decision to remove him from the forum.

I can't speak authoritatively in this case, but bans are often temporary, unless the violations are especially egregious or frequent.

I'm sure this contributed to riling up Duncan, who was banned for multiple use of bad language not just here. |

Just for the record, it's rare for a banned member to be reinstated. Enough accumulated infraction points can remove posting rights for weeks or months, but a ban is almost always permanent. This helps us keep TRF one of the friendliest and most civil places on the Internet.

My accomplishments are now rooted in my children. Last night my wife and I attended our daughters National Honor Society induction. I have not pushed her in anyway, but she may follow her Dad to Princeton University in 2019...

Maybe not as sentimental as most but I hit a hole in one on a 187 yard par 3 and my partner got up hit it in the water then holed it for par. Maybe not my proudest moment but pretty darn cool

Haven’t had mine yet but if all goes well this will prob be it:
Plan on showing up to my dads house sometime in March with 2 weekly badges to the masters golf tournament and asking him to go with me.....haven’t spoken to him since 2012 so it could be rather interesting. |
