Accomplishments of a Lifetime??

I found this meme on my Brother’s (Alone on a Limb) site. He found it on my third sister's (The Median Sib) blog. She got it from my fifth sister's (Blue Star Chronicles) site. (I wonder, along with him, if there are two other sisters who write separate blogs that rank in the top 100 on Truth Laid Bear's blog-ranking system?)

I started not to do this meme. I just shows how very boring I am; but here goes.
