When I was 6 on vacation in Ireland (Co Wexford by the sea) Skinned all my back and arms

Painful Memory Bob OW!

Your first ride on a train ?

probably at age 16--skipping school to go see the Yankees play

your first case of food poisoning

When I was 7 had bad stomach cramps at school due to eating food I wasn't used to back next day Have had it since but thats due to cheese reacting...Usually cooked cheese so I eat this in moderation or decline

Your first bike ride on the open road not acting the fool FYI I was 14 (that late! ) when I ventured out

proabably when I was 10 or 11; we were always riding to sandlot/pick-up games, etc.

your first surgery

Ummm, I had two teeth removed by an oral surgeon before having braces put on (at age 13-ish), then at 15-ish I had a little mole taken off my belly that my jeans waistband would rub against... it was nothing but I was hyper-vigilant because my mom had had major skin cancer a few years earlier. Those are the only "surgeries" I've had. I'd still like to have laser eye surgery.

your first day at kindergarten -- what was it like

Just remember going with a buddy of mine and our Moms--and being REALLY scared

your first need for stitches

My first need for stitches was for my knee when I was almost eleven- Skateboarding adventure in San Francisco when I should have been in bed asleep (but that scar gives me a lot of "street cred" with adolescent boys, so it's ok) and a few years later, I should have gotten stitches in my scalp following a fall from a horse (head wounds bleed a lot!).
My first, and only, actual sutures were placed when I was 18, when my finger was cut in a car accident.


I kind of like this one, so I'm repeating it:
your first need for stitches?

I split my eyebrow when I was 6 and screamed down the Emergency Room Still see the scar over 40 years later.

How did I get it? Went head first into a wooden door frame in the house.. Rushing around a top speed (not looking)as you do when you are a little kid

When was your first trip to the seaside or country? Depending on where you lived at the time

Well--I grew up near the beach, and have pictures of me there as a baby when I was about 6 months old

your first job that you quit

All of my teenager jobs were dring the summer, with an understanding that they would end when school began. The first one I officially resigned from was with Wachovia Bank (a predecessor of today's mega-bank) in order to join a family construction business.

Your first record, tape or CD player

Gosh, I can't remember NOT having a record player... but I remember getting a new one for Christmas when I was 6 or 7 along with half a dozen records including a collection of fairy tales, the soundtrack from Fantasia and Linda Rondstadt's newest record.. I think it was Heart like a Wheel.


First piece of furniture you bought new?

Wow--maybe an inflatable bed while in college..

your first time in a police station

I've only gone to police stations to be fingerprinted for jobs...first time was sometime in my 20s.

first time giving a speech -- share the details

had to give speeches WEEKLY during speech classes in college..don't remember the details--too long ago

your first time in a strip club

The Fabulous Tip-Top in Eureka, California(my pics have long since been removed from the website) I was making an appointment to audition and checking the place out to see if I wanted to work there.


Your first time in a strip club.

(gulllpppp) ..Ummmm, probably at the Cheetah Club in East Haven, CT--though I was there ONLY to quench my thirst with a few 'brew-skis'

your first time off a diving board

Never done that (chickened out) Hate diving but I used to "Surface dive" and do a handstand on the floor of the pool and all you'd see were my legs above water

What Nationality was the first foreign person/people you met in your life?
In my town It was Italians (Big community)

Ahh... Stewart (Stewie) Evans from Austraila when I was in third grade (around 9 years old). All the girls were in love with him and all the guys envied him because he was such a whiz at soccer.

Same Question

The first one I remember was Madame Shumate, from France, in the second grade.

Your first time driving a car.

A lot of these questions I honestly don't remember "my first" but this one I do.

I was in high school (11th grade) and did not have a driver's license. I went to an off campus technical training school to learn auto body repair. (Either that or get expelled, long story for another day )

The instructor asked who had a license so I naturally raised my hand . He tossed me the keys to a Maverick that has a three speed shift on the column. (and a 351 Cleveland under the hood ) I bucked that car and stalled it numerous times until I figured it out. In the process I put a few more dents in it that needed repairing not to mention the clutch and transmission issues that later surfaced .

If you can drive a three speed on the column you can drive just about anything.

Same question
