[LynneSin]

2. I'm from Delaware - our state was the FIRST state

When did New Jersey come into the picture - like 5th or 6th?

Hell the guy from Delaware had a raging case of syphilis and he still made it in there first!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Everyone got out of his way because he had syphilis.

Hardly a winner.

[LynneSin]

4. Hey - we were first

and there wasn't any cure for Syphilis back then

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Whatever.

9. I won a copy shop basketball tourney pool in 1989

So if that doesn't make me a winner I don't know what does

[LaraMN]

11. I got second place in the regional spelling bee, in sixth grade!

I try not to let it go to my head, but GAWD DAMN can I spell!

[LynneSin]

12. What word got you?

Today I still cringe when I hear geyser

:cry:

[Phillycat]

13. "theretofore"

I mean, WTF kind of word is that? "Theretofore"?? Who uses that word?

[LaraMN]

15. "Presbyter," because I stuttered.

Couldn't correct myself once I said the wrong letter.
It's so cutthroat.
:P

[Phillycat]

17. What the hell is "Presbyter"? Like a Presbyterian?

Plus I think there's a "p" in there somewhere.

[LaraMN]

18. Yeah, in the first place,

what a sucky word for an Agnostic to get. :D
I would have spelled it right if I hadn't verbally tripped, though.
Ah well, life goes on...

[bridgit]

14. wee goody!!

[johnnie]

16. I'm a winner

I don't know if I would be considered one here at DU by people, but in my real life..I do good. B-)

19. this is one I will post in.

The universe is always working toward my greatest good, and I've seen amazing proof of that in my life lately, with it having fixed something for me that was bringing only darkness into my life, and done it in such way that it's permanent; something I couldn't accomplish on my own. I'm still pretty awestruck about it, because I forget these spiritual principles sometimes and can get pretty bogged down in the dumps. I am in a really good place right now with my outlook because of everything that has happened, and I kind of feel like it would be an afront to whomever or whatever I got my recent 'grace' from to call myself a loser. :)
