I didn't have a lot of friends as a kid. I didn't live in a neighborhood with a lot of other children. After my parents divorced, I was reclusive and hesitant to make friends. The only ones I did have were Michael, who went to the same daycare as I did, and Alex, who went to school with me. Michael was the funniest kid I knew. He was always clever and willing to do anything to get laughs. I needed that. He was short, tanned, and rail thin. We were the kid version of the Odd Couple. Alex was stocky like me and into computers. That's all I really remember about him.tswyk said:Who were your best childhood friends?
What do you remember about them?
Are you still in touch with them?
We had a dog I named Alex, but he tore the house up too much, so we gave him away.tswyk said:What pets did you have as a child?
What were their names?
How special were they to you?
Do you have a special memory including them?
The only real "nickname" I had as a youngster was the runny-nose kid version of my name, which was thrust upon me by older relatives. I despised it, and still do.tswyk said:Did you have a nick-name as a child?
Who gave it to you?
Did you like it?
What was the meaning behind it?
Who, if anyone, still calls you by that name?
I find "me time" just about anywhere: when online, driving, whatever.tswyk said:Where do you go to be alone?

I learned to drive by having my mom seat me on her lap when I was a kid. I could have passed the driver's exam as soon as I was big enough to reach the pedals, which would have been probably age 10 or 11.tswyk said:How old were you when you learned to drive?

Gee, I was 15 when I started learning and 16 when I got my license. I've been driving now for over 30 years....talk about experience![]()
My dad taught me by taking me to the cemetaryHis logic was that there were roads, turns, and intersections there but I couldn't kill anyone as I learned.
The only car was the family car and I was 4th on the list for that so I didn't get to drive too much but if the car was available, I could use it.
I did finally get my own car when I got my first job. It was a 1972 Mercury Capri and I loved it. I don't remember how much it cost but I do remember thinking I had arrived because I got a bank loan for it and began to establish my credit.
As far as fender-benders, I had 2 but I'm happy to say they weren't my fault. Both times I was rear-ended. But the scariest experience was coming to east TN and traveling Interstates 40 and 81 with the 18 wheelers. We had very few 18 wheelers to deal with in the area I come from originally. I'm used to them now and can run with the best of them.
