First time events which stick in your memory

I have many, but as a three or four year old I remember my first twinkie........I bit into not impressed and damn.......that filling just lit me up. I could not get enough twinkies.....my whole young world changed that something that good was in the world.

I could be crude, but I will go for that warm feeling of joy the first night you spoon with somebody who means something to you......I am lucky......I have been able to get that joy for forty one years, but that moment of enlightenment when you find everything makes sense.....that first moment was powerful as those spoons fit together and a life partnership was formed.

That moment when the training wheels were gone and you did not fall on your bike.....suddenly the entire town became your world and the freedom and power has your young mind racing with excitement.

1982 having never taken a computer course and getting a handshake between a CPM based xerox personal computer with big floopy disks to print on a smith corona modified typewriter using a serial ribbon.......from that point on becoming a sponge, and never fearing something being too complex and reading every computer book or magazine I could get my hands on to try to satisfy my insatiable appetite.

The first time I held grandchild number one. She was a preemie and could not be held until she weighted 3lbs she was almost 3 weeks old when I first held her.

That first moment you are a parent and you hold the child you created........a spiritual moment I will never forget.

The moment you are told as a 10 year old child that your father has died.......

The first time I dunked a basketball.......burned into memory.

The first time I saw somebody I know hit by a car...........burned into memory.

The first time I dissected a frog in Biology and the teacher left the room temporarily and I took her chair and stood on it putting the frog head I had just severed at 12 o'clock high on the clock........it slowly turned black over the weeks and remained after we had left for summer vacation, and people would come into her room look at the clock and laugh.....she never saw the damn froghead..........

One that comes to mind is the first time seaoat told us he was a "lifelong republican". I remember it well, I was drinking iced tea and did a spit take. lol

The first time I went door to door handing out Goldwater pamphlets, and having a person ask me to come into his house where he lead me to his bathroom where he had a big sign.........PUT YOUR GOLDWATER HERE

Good grief, Seaoat. I was 13-14 in '64. JFK had been assassinated the year before, and Goldwater was called a "hawk" by everyone I knew, including his supporters. How old were you then, and how in the world did you support Goldwater?

I was president of my sixth grade class and was immersed in national politics, I was working on my Eagle Scout, and Mr. Johnson was the Republican Precinct coordinator and lived in my neighborhood. I had just started seventh grade and read four newspapers daily. I believed that there was a monolithic communist threat, and my seventh grade shop teacher gave a talk to our history class. He was in the reserves and had served in Viet Nam. He spoke of the atrocities and I listened. My father had died three years earlier and most of the males who were role models were hawks on the war. To this day, I have NO regrets for supporting Goldwater. My thought process was immature, and I really did not comprehend all the issues, but as an adult......I like him more than I did as that kid.

Whenever I'm put on ignore by a supposedly enlightened progressive liberal.
