I tried cigarettes once. It wasn’t for me. Never smoked weed, but I was in the room when my sister and her bf/friends did so I’m sure I got a bit of a contact high.

I think i started drinking at age 17 and it was Hennessy. I also became a bit of a pot head at one point in my life and also tried several other drugs over the years. Nowadays i get tipsy off of one glass of wine.

The kids in Cadence's class, including her, really started catching on to letters when they started using them with kids' names. So when we do letters it is a lot of "D for David, G for Gary"....not those names, those are just examples. We do this too. He always points out the letters for each of his friends. The other day I pointed out that M was for mommy and he argued with me that M was for a friend if his that starts with mm. It took quite a bit of convincing till he conceded that it was also for mommy

I started drinking around 15 (10th grade). Pot and acid followed fairly quickly. By college I was mostly over it, still smoked occasionally but not like when i was 16-17
Now I am I guess what you'd call a social drinker. I never officially 'quit' drugs, but I honestly can't remember the last time I did anything
I looked a million years younger than I am so I never bothered with a fake id. There were a handful of bars that didn't id but mostly we hung out at people's houses and parks and stuff

I’ll sit with tgrimes, I definitely had my first drink and cigarette in middle school. We drank pretty regularly at parties in high school and we smoked clove cigarettes. I didn’t really do weed, the few times I did it I got really paranoid so it wasn’t my thing. I’ve enjoyed it more as an adult and I’m seriously considering getting a medical card after this baby is born. I had a horrible fake is when I first started college, it said I was 27, curly red hair and like 5’2 and 180 pounds. My sophomore year a guy I went to high school with started making amazing ones and that one lasted me until I turned 21. I ask started working at one of the local bars around 20 so I always had an in. peachsmama my mom took me to get my bellybutton Peirced at 16 and to this day I’m shocked she let me do it. She said I couldn’t tel my dad and if he found out she’d say I forged her signature. I clearly ever my grandma lifting my shirt up at a family dinner and outing me. I never did any hard drugs, except Cocain once in college. I really liked it so I figured it was probably not in my best interest to do it again.

I had my first drink at 16. Being the youngest in my grade, i had 2 fake IDs in college. One got take away twice and in bizarre fashions, I was able to get it back.
Never smoked. No drugs. I did pierce my own belly button with a safety pin when I was 16. #rebel

Oh, and FFTC, I think smoking is pretty gross... except when I’m drunk and in social situations and then I always end up bumming one of someone. Dh gets so mad at me.

You guys, all of our dreams came true tonight. For the first time in forever, H was in a good mood all night and super pleasant to be around. Dh is so happy. I mean, we wondered how he would change by getting that fluid out of his ears and it’s a freaking Christmas miracle.
Aaaand hopefully I didn’t jinx it.

My lower back is killing me! But my recliner gets delivered tomorrow! I went with a completely different choice. I showed mh the one I wanted and we decided against it. Then his friend went and bought the whole set with that one. LOL.

I was so cool I have a corderoy overall jumper. It was a skirt instead of pants. Of course I had many traditional overall pants too and wore them with one hook off because I was so cool. When we were at the Children's Museum the other day at the dress up stage they had overalls and Maddie was obsessed. She wants me to get her some. I couldn't even find any at Oshkosh. Maybe if I look in 1996.

You girls were chatty yesterday! Re school: over here kindergarten starts the minute you turn 4, no matter what time in the year. You go to first grade when you’re 6. So in ds’ case this means he’ll almost have three years of kindergarten. Re: drinking&drugs legal drinking age was 16 over here (18 now) and I started before that. Never did drugs, even tough cannabis is legal over here. No piercings, no tattoos. Did dye my hair all sorts of colours. Safety pins were on my clothes and I wore tights as tops...

I remember their floral print shorts with the coordinating t-shirt... everyone had them. I'm pretty sure I had the Henley flannel set that flamingo has too.

My first actual drink was a month or two before 21. My grandpa would let me have a sip of wine or something they were serving around the holidays. In high school I worked for the state on an anti-tobacco thing so obviously no smoking for me. I was one of the first in my class to get a drivers license. I was one of the older kids and lived in the country so learners permit at 14, school permit at 14 1/2 full license at 16. No drugs. And I have only tried a cigars a few times and tried cigarettes once. Not a fan.

If I can get LO into a magnet school we will do tk but if I can't we might be able to get him into K this fall at the private school we are currently at. We get to have a pre-test test in January. If he does well then we will try if not another year of preschool

I got my belly button and my cousin got her nose done at the same time. I took it out at 17 when I gained a bunch of weight (Thanks culinary school) but I bet I could still get one in. It never closed.

Drinking age here is 18, but we lived for house, barn and bush parties, small town at it’s finest. It was so much fun. I probably started in about grade 10. I smoked in those years as well but it never became a bad habit, I was able to kick the habit for good about a year after MH and I met.
Pot was my go to, gosh did I love a good high sitting beside the fire on a summers night hanging with my friends, the best. I also did hash (blades) a bit when I was younger but I didnt like it as much. There were a lot of mushrooms and acid around but although my friends did them I never did, 8 hours seemed way to long for a high.
I’m sure there were times that we weren’t responsible but for the most part we were all pretty good, I remember so many times sitting in the back of my parents car CONVINCED that she had no idea I reeked like pot and booze, she never said a word, just got me home safe.

I remember when I got my tongue pierced my freshman or sophomore year of college my parents thought that was me being rebellious. For the record, it really didn't hurt.
