I'm doing 40 things
43 Things needs better tools for editing.
For example, I had to delete this goal and re-post it because I made a spelling error. An editing tool would have allowed me to simply correct my mistake.

How I did it
It made me
Mixed emotion. 
How I did it: I sent my friends to get him. It's strange too because I had just seen (for the first time) the South Park episode about Jersey Shore. A few days after watching that (terrible is understating how much I really disliked the episode) bin Laden is killed. Read how I did it…
It made me
Punchy 
How I did it: After a meal in a restaurant I was going to pick up the check. Mike refused. We began exchanging blows. Oh wait, that was when Peter fought the chicken on Family Guy. Actually, I am Buster Douglas posing as GPony during undercover week here on 43things. It was an easy fight. Tyson came into the ring unprepared and smelling of cheap vodka. Read how I did it…
It made me
complete
How I did it: With my magical keyboard. I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate the time they devote to posting, cheering and encouraging me here at 43Things. Read how I did it…

I like Jack’s point about having spent a night for a visit to count. I had considered that previously when I first made this goal. However, I have found that it’s difficult to justify what constitutes a visit. Everyone will have their own statndard. I’ve been inside the airspace of states that are not on my list. The states that I count are ones where I am physically present, whereas, I am subject to the laws of that state. If I am legally accountable to that state’s government I count it as a visit to that state.
