How old were you when you took your first car trip out of town by yourself
 
Oh wow...that is a tough one to remember. Beyond the few neighboring towns that were close enough to drive to, I am going to say driving to a concert up in the canyon with a bunch of friends. We didn't spend the night, in fact we were rained out.

I was 11 years old and it was some IBM PC with LOTUS123 on it. I was in 5th grade at took a computer class at the John Deer Implement in our rural Nebraska town with a lot of other (much older) people. When I went to college, I was the only person in my dorm to have not only my own computer (with the large floppy disks), but also my own dot matrix printer! Ha! My how times have changed!

How old were you when you first felt like a "real adult"? (And what was that moment?)
 
Yikes! I come in here and get the hardest question! I'm not sure I feel like a "real adult" yet... BUT, I suppose it was when we took our son home from the hospital after he was born (I was 29). I couldn't believe that the hospital just LETS people leave with a baby when we have NO idea what we are doing!! :D


How old were you when you stopped playing with toys?
 
Kid's toys - maybe 12 or 13. I have a younger sister who insisted on me still playing with Barbies. My family now calls my laptop "mom's toy" so I guess I never stopped!

How old were you when you bought your own car?
 
I was 25 when I bought my first car lol. Before that I was driving the car my dad bought me.

How old were you when you first learned to swim?
 
My parents had us (me, sister and brother) on a swim team, I was 10 when I first started.

How old were you when you first discovered computers/internet?
 
Middle school sometime. We played Oregon Trail on the old Apple computers (little tiny boxes in the computer lab). Shortly thereafter my dad bought us a Commodore 64. It couldn't do anything so we took a basic programming class at the local library. We programmed it to write our names on the whole screen with a simple command (woo hoo).

How old were you when you got braces (if you got them at all)?
 
I was fortunate to never have to have braces, but I did have to have a retainer when I was eight years old.

How old were you when you had your first child?
 
Just turned 30 about 2 1/2 months prior to having my first.

How old were you when you graduated from college?
 
I didn't go to college, I went to university. I have two undergraduate degrees and one graduate degree. For the undergraduate degrees, 23 and 42, for the graduate degree, 44. (High school was five years in Ontario when I went to high school, so most people graduated high school at 19, so add four years for university, and you have 23).

How old were you when you first went to a movie without your parents?
 
Good question - probably 15? 16? not really sure!

What's your favorite kind of pizza (after finishing up making almost 1000 pizzas, I have pizzas on the brain!)
 
As Trina didn't ask a question really Ibwill form it into one.

how old were you when you first had a pizza?

i was in college about 19 at the time, at a complete free for all drunk fest and pizza was ordered, I had never had it before then. It was years before I ever had it again after that.

How owe old were you when you went on your first road trip alone?
 
I was 18 when I drove from Atlanta to Branson, MO. for a family reunion and then back to Atlanta. It was an amazing experience.

I have not read all the questions so I'm sorry if I ask something again.
