48 years later I still HATE eggs with a passion and never have eaten one. The smell of egg salad causes me to vomit. I normally have to leave the table if someone next to me eats sunny side up or soft boiled eggs. YUCK!
One of my earliest memories was when my dad and I went to a salvage yard to look for parts for is 64 Mercury Park-Lane conv. I remember sitting in the dirt and the next I knew we were standing next to the road while he's shaking the red ants out of my jeans. Got stung all over. I suppose that's why I have such a bug-phobia. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
I remember watching JFK's funeral on our 1st black and white tv set. I was 2 yrs and a month old then. My next memory was when my oldest brother came home on leave from Viet Nam in 1965. I was almost 4 then. About the same time the big black car came to our house (Red Scare in the early 60's) and talking to and making my mom upset. She was a Russian soldier in WWII and my dad freed her from the concentration camp, married her and she became a US citizen. Found out later they was wanting to know if she was a russian spy and gave her strict instructions on what to do if "Mpther Russia" ever tried to contact her. [Reply]

Mine was being in a high chair as an infant around the dinner table. I have no idea the context of that memory.
Pushing the crib down the bedroom as a way to get out. Then my mom walks in and picks me up.
I also remember my first steps at walking and falling in the dining room. When I make it near the stairs it was the longest I stayed up. I remember some adult saying something encouraging but don't remember who or the words. [Reply]
It's funny how different people have such different tastes. If you bring me a plate of bacon and eggs I'll do my best not to puke as I get up and walk away. Bacon is too salty and eggs just gross me out. Even the smell of eggs can make me feel sick. Yet others love exactly those things.
But bring me a plate of sausage, hashbrowns and pancakes or waffles for breakfast and I can't wait to dig in. [Reply]
Remember my first steps were taken while playing with the garden hose in the front yard. Also vaguely remember peeing on a toad and him looking at me as the pee splattered on his head. I think I only remember that one since its one of my folks favorite stories.
I also remember when i fell out of a 2nd story window. I was 3 or 4 and visiting my grandpa at work. I ws playing with my E.T. doll and it fell out the open window. I went after him. Some random dude saw me falling as he pulled into a parking spot at the office. A small tree caught my legs and broke my fall before I hit the ground. Not a scratch on me. [Reply]
