You know I was just thinking...the way this was phrased, if anyone had their first drug that wasn't mar1juana, wouldn't that kind of be a little disturbing? I'd like to see a show of hands of who had coke and shrooms their first time when they were, like, 15.
Drugs: Never Alcohol: Back in the day, Dizzy Dean & PeeWee Reese broadcast the Saturday afternoon baseball game(that was the only game on tv then). Fallstaff was a sponsor and Dizzy always did those commercials(type casting). He always closed with "Fallstaff-the finest product of the brewers art!"!! Flash forward to my freshman year in college. I'm riding with a friend to somewhere 1 evening and he tells me there's some beer under the seat if I want one. Not wanting him to know I'd never had a drink before, I reached down and grabbed a can of OMG Fallstaff. Dizzy's smiling face flashed through my brain. One gulp later, I realized Dizzy had been lying to me all those years. Sex: One Saturday night's double date plan fell through and my fiance and I wound up at her apartment - ALONE! We were both virgins. It's amaising how you can be so scared and feel so good at the same time. At one point that night, she looked up at me and smiled. I'll always remember that smile. We later married and the end of this month will have been married for 42 years. Some times you just get lucky.
So is asprin, but no one wants to hear stories about the first time they got a headache. Naw, I'll bet it had nothing to do with luck. Probably had more to do with the way you treated each other. Congrats on those 42 years!
Alcohol: I was 14. It was the night before the opening game of the 1990 World Cup. We got drunk on the TPC in The Woodlands and probably caused some damage. All I remember was watching Cameroon beating Argentina with a raging hangover. Drugs: mar1juana. I think I was 17. Sex: 14. Youth group lock in at the Jewish Community Center North. It was awkward to say the least (other than the fact that it was in a synagogue).
Drugs: never have tried any. I'm so sorry now. Alcohol: my uncle says I finished a beer in 10 minutes and no one noticed. I say I don't remember it. He says we were talking and I drank it like water. I don't remember it. Sex: Mexico. Arcelia. Confusing. "That's it? That's not what I saw in that movie."* You needed alcohol for that? Most of us DON'T! Also, Yesenia told me to say "Hola, mugroso!" to you. Most of us are over 14. Are you OK with that? *that's what SHE said .
I'm always amazed at how much people will publish of their own intimate details on message boards. Particularly here.
I can't speak for rhester, but I love sauteed mushrooms in my fajitas. Also fried mushrooms with buffalo wings.
Sex: Great. I definitely enjoyed myself and am told that I performed much better than would normally be expected of a virgin (she was a lot more experienced than I was). Drugs and Alcohol: Never.
I'm amazed at the fact that the 2 guys who are so amazed both have over 41K posts. Seriously, what's the problem with people being more open to a bunch of people who they will most likely never meet in person? I think that's the reason some people here are so open in the first place. We're all friends, but 99% of us will never meet in person. And I don't say anything here that I wouldn't tell the 1% that I HAVE met in person. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I would ever post pics of my wife or daughter. But no one here has done that recently, right?
For real... I think they're just part of the old duffers club that is afraid of the internet still... waiting for Deckard to come in here and tell me to get off his lawn..
I believe I read where one of Obama's vetting processes for staff job applicants was to include any "handles" they may have on the Internet.
I suspect it is possible it becomes more commonplace in the general workforce. If I were an employer, I'd ask for it.
