I currently have a wisdom tooth that is seriously unpleasant so that occasion may still be in the future!

How old were you when you first ate vegetables of your own volition?

I have this memory of being about five years old and my dad said that if I ate my carrots, he'd take me to the park to play. So I ate my carrots, and then it rained. :-D

I started eating them of my own volition at around 11 years old--I realized I hated peas, so I just asked my parents to make green beans all the time instead.

Technically since I was a fetus in my mom's womb being that she did drink coffee all through her pregnancy. Hah!

How old were you when you first fell in love?

I was 26, had two top wisdom teeth removed at the Dentist while in the military but before getting out. I was trying to be proactive on two counts (saving money because I would no longer have Tricare insurance and saving myself the pain of those wisdom teeth staying in my mouth and reeking havoc).

How was your first experience resigning from a job?

I was 2 years old. Most of my family live in another country, so that's when they first saw me.

I think I was seventeen. Remember it like it was yesterday. I was crazy about her but too shy to tell her. She knew it, I guess. She planted one on me at the top of the stairs. I never saw it coming. :oops:

How old were you when you moved out of your parents' house?

I moved away when I was 27, but I currently live with my dad. He's very entertaining.

Does a newspaper route count? Yes, I was a paperboy, started at age eleven. I started working "officially" at 17 at a printing company, running the presses.

I'm terrible at art too!

I have fond memories of working in a print shop.

I have never been out of the country. Not even close, unless swimming in the ocean counts. ;-)

Funny thing is, we dated for two years and then I broke up with her. We kept in touch and remained friends, but I lost touch with her after awhile. Then last year when I was moving, I found some things - pictures and mementos from her childhood - that she had given me. I found out where she lives and mailed them to her along with a nice letter. She responded, and we exchanged a few emails. It was nice to hear from her again, but honestly,I thank God every day that I didn't marry her!
