I started out just moving my Dads car around a car park In 1st and reverse @ 17 (no licence) it was one of those vehicles you either had to sit on a thick cushion to see out of the windshield or have a long neck?

Can you remember your first Puncture with a car? Did you have help to change the wheel or did you have somebody who knew what to do?
Or did you have no spare? Millions of possibles ... OK what happened?

I remember going to Cooperstown, NY with about 6 friends a LONG time ago and the rear tire busted out in the middle of NOWHERE..I was the only one who knew how to change it, so the other 6 watched me do it in almost total darkness!

your first case of poison ivy

Dont have that in the Uk Nettles yes and i think I was 5 when I first got stung

Your first electric shock? And on what?

I remember getting a shock by touching an exposed wire on a lamp when I was around 7 or 8

your first holding of the opposite sex's hand (not family )

Probably in kindergarten..I was an affectionate child

your first kiss from someone of the opposite sex other than a relative ( unless you live in fuse's town)

I probably got kissed by a girl in the third grade--and said "ewwwwwwww!" immediately thereafter!

your first time wearing a suit or dress.

My parents dressed me in a gown for my infant christening.

And thanks for the exception on my home town for kissing, dg. It's so hard to find people who aren't related to you!

Your first visit to a fast food restaurant.

Wow--maybe when I was 4 or 5 at a local Duchess restaurant.

your first broken bone.

About 10 years ago I fell off a ladder and fractured both arms at the elbow. Very painful

The first time you felt you were getting old

probably about 10-11 years ago--when I could no longer do any competitive running..

your first bicycle

Don't remember much about it... I think it was white and purple or white and green... shaped basically like this. I wanted to be like my big sisters and they were past the age for bike-riding, so it wasn't really of much interest to me.

The first time you asked a girl on a date... how did you feel... what was the outcome?

VERY nervous--was asked to do it as a favor for another girl--Went to a semi-formal high school affair--not too bad..

your first time in an in-ground swimming pool

The earliest memories I have are of swimming lessons when I was four. There are earlier pictures of me in the pool being held by my mom.

The first Christmas / Holiday celebration you remember.

Maybe when I was 4 or 5 at XMAS--and received a puppy as a gift ..

your first award of any type

I was useless at school Only thing I got was my First holy communion certificate at 7

What was your first teacher called ?

kindergarten--Mrs. Bradley--and I loved her dearly..

your first time staying after school for being naughty

I was always "naughty" Bob! I think it may have been kindergarten.

The year you first sent an email

I would have to guess around 1993 on a system I think was called Disoss at one of my jobs.

How old were you when you had your first savings account of your own ?

I was 15 and for the first time in My life I had a pound note in my pocket (started work @15)


A pound buys you almost nothing in 2007 and the pound note is History withdrawn in 1984
