Cool!

I was maybe 6 years old when I rode my bike without training wheels. I really loved bike riding back then.

When did you learn to swim? Or don't you swim?

I know how to swim but don't know when or how I learned.

How much did you weight when you were born (alternatively what did your child/children weigh at birth)?

Yes, but I forget the role. Elementary school. All I remember was saying something humorous that another classmate and the audience laughed at. Another time I was part of the crew helping the actors get set up to go on stage. I did have a role in a play held by my girl scout troop. I was "the father". I didn't like that role because I am a girl, but I see it was logical back then. I was a bit of a Tom Boy and my mother kept my hair short back then. Plus, I was taller than most other girls.

Were you ever put in the corner or otherwise punished at school in your youth?

Yeah, what the teachers did was send the students to Room 202 for lunch instead of the lunchroom. It had desks like cubicles so you couldn't talk to anyone else. I was there quite a bit in elementary school.

How did the schools in your district work? (i.e. one elementary school, one middle school, one high school or otherwise)

Erm lol we have school's all over the place

Nursery school (3-5 years) some are buildings on their own and others are built into primary schools

Primary School (4-12 years) in my local area there were 2 school's 1 Catholic and 1 Protestant

Secondary (High) School (12-18 years) there were 2 again 1 Catholic and 1 Protestant.

My High school was closed in 2009 and demolished in 2010... due to the city council (big wigs of my city) merging 2 Catholic Secondary School's together. My city takes about 2 hours to get from one end to the next. My School was in the East. And the other school in the West. They merged these school's together created a new school and placed it in the West of the city meaning kids in my area travel an hour to get to school via bus or car. Nightmare.

They are now talking of merging the 2 Protestant school's in the East to create a super school but its still being discussed.

Question: Is the education system where you are good or bad? Is there a private school in your area?

It's excellent. In the top 10 in my state. My state has some public schools in the top 40 in the country. It better considering our property taxes. I never had children, so didn't get any benefit from it. It's a shame that property taxes decide the quality of schools in the US! That is ultimately a form of discrimination. Not an opinion, but a fact. As for private schools, my area has a very large number. I don't know the exact count, but many. My town also includes Princeton University, one of the best universities in the world. My husband and I are moving because we can no longer afford to live where we do.

Have you taken or audited any form of class since graduating from college or high school, whichever came last?

no.

I did try to take a class in animal care, but I was told after a few weeks sorry, you can't do this, you're too far behind the rest of us in what we know

that was years ago. I've not taken anything since then.

what is your typical breakfast. what do you have

I like " family movies". not necessarily disney, but movies that feature a mother, a father, some kids, and usually have a bit of comedy, some adventure, possibly romance, you get the idea... a movie everyone can enjoy (we baught a zoo is a really nice one)
I like romance books best, especially daniele steel

do you write notes around your house? (to help you remember things)

I write notes a lot, but not around the house. Usually I write stuff and email it to myself. Or even put stuff on my google calendar, as reminders. I'm a "list person" for sure. Sometimes I even have ideas pop up for blog posts or other stuff (working memoir) that I type and save on my computer in some form.

What type of writing do you most like to do?

Sleep was rough last night but I think I ultimately slept 3 or 4 hours - it was a tossing and turning kind of night

Do you do puzzles such as crossword puzzles, soduku etc

It's very silly (and rather trivial) I'm embarrassed to say

How old were you when you had your first alcoholic drink?
