Congratulations! Some people might have taken pride in never having reached loser status...but I call those people quitters. Way to stay the course and push through those difficult hours of actually having a life to achieve your goals! It shows heart.
p.s. I bet Lisa's doing a happy dance. Someone finally mentioned her in a list of LoT acknowledgements
(though I think she's still under the mistaken impression that I left her out of one way back when, even though I did mention her).
