Best and Worst thing that happened to you this 2008

I posted one in the general thread of best and worst purchase of 2008..but I know this year it's not all about the watch..please share us your best moment and worst moment of 2008.


For me I was scammed selling watches..and after that I saw this forum that helped me in how to deal with transaction..I'm trully greatful for this forum from the owner and the mods and the
Members who helped me.

My best is I STILL HAVE A JOB!!!

The worst that happened to me is I lost to uncles and a future father in law our son was in hospital for three weeks touch and go but pulled through and my ill health has got worse. but on the good side me and my fiancee have stood by one another and are looking forward to what is hopefully a better 2009.

The best: Twin grandsons born in June.
The worst: Mom died two weeks before the grandsons were born.
The reality: Losing my mom still hurts but every minute spent with the grandsons is a tremendous offset.

Best & worse for 2008 was the same road trip to California this summer.
Wife & I took daughter & her best friend on a 12 day road trip to Disneyland, San Diego, San Francisco.
While at D land, hotel was broken into ( well inside job, I've posted about this earlier).
This was the low. The theft, the lack of concern by the hotel, the treatment we got from management etc etc etc was horrible.

The high, was getting inked at High Voltage Tattoo ( better known as LA Ink), and actually seeing myself on TV. ( was in the background, but got about 6 seconds of air time) LOL

best is I got my first iPhone and Mac laptops and learned that it's more hype than needed for a great product and also gas is back to the $1 range and the Bad is that I personally made poor financial decision since Feb 08

I thought about this for a minutes (until I smelled something burning) and at first was about to disagree, but you are right o guru of the south side. It is all good, just doesn't feel that way sometimes. If you look at life as a journey of growth the good and the bad become all good.

The worst: I didn't win the lottery.

The best: I didn't lose any money buying losing lottery tickets.

The good: I got promoted at work and also bought my first rolex.
The bad: Didn't win the powerball.
The ugly: I fired a lazy piece of s#$% at work so he threatened to come back and shoot me.
