It stopped at about 25, then resumed once I hit 30 and had lost significant weight. Then it quit again at about 32.

What was the first "big" purchase you remember making with your own money as a kid (big being relative to what you considered important)?

I would say I was 17 when I bought my first round trip ticket. I left NJ to go to OK for a 2 weeks and back to CA for a 1 week - I thought it was amazing! Even more so my mom let me do it (my BF was in OK)

How old were you when you went on your first REAL roller coaster?

I was 10 when I rode my first roller coaster. It scared me so much I ran straight back to get in line to ride it again and I have been hooked ever since.  ;D

I think we got a dog when I was maybe 8 or 9? My brother and I named her, CoCo even though she was a black lab. I don't know whose idea it was to name her that but the responsibility was ours, collectively. He would've been 4 or 5 if I was 8 or 9.

If I remember right, I was five, nearly six. I tried to stay awake to catch the tooth fairy in action but just couldn't stay awake.

How old were you when what you wanted to be when you grew up is the career/job you have now?

32!! (i'm 40 now) I was clueless as to what my talents are. Once I found them my career took off. And now it comes to a screeching halt while I get married and move to UK.

How old were you when you cooked or baked on your own for the first time?

About 7 or 8, maybe a little younger with a little bit of supervision. But definitely by 7 or 8 I was whipping up batches of cookies all on my own with very minimal supervision from my mom. And by 11, I was cooking for myself almost exclusively because it's when I became a vegetarian.

How old were you when you actually enjoyed the taste of some sort of alcohol?

Just a few years ago, so about 42.  I discovered I liked pear cider.

I'll get back to you on that one when I do. Mom dropped the bombshell on me when I was 7 or 8 because we were mentioning what kids were saying at school, but I just haven't been able to stop believing (at the tender age of 40) that he doesn't exist.  ;D

How old were you when you were first allowed to decide your own hairstyle (for getting it cut, permed, etc)?

Very young.  As soon as I was old enough to want to choose I did; about 5?  I made some bad choices though and cried every time!

It was 3 years ago next month, and I was 37. It wasn't just because he was an amazing man, but the realization that I no longer had ANY grandparents that made it doubly hard.
