Very nice post, Issy. You certainly have had an amazing few years.
In May of the year I was 19, I graduated from college (AS), got married, moved to a new town and started a new job - all within 12 days. According to the stress test lists I should have been comatose. hmmmmm, maybe I was.
JB i may want to marry you, I have to ask the lady diane if thats ok.

You're into comatose gals, eh? I would never have guessed.

Heh. that's how I see 29....possibly 39. Pleeeeenty of time to mature and be responsible
At 19 I was married with my first daughter. I was a hippie musician and radio disc jockeywith the first "free form progressive" format radio show in the state in of all places Lynchburg Va and a sort of local celebrity because of it. Loved by my listeners, hated by the community and parents in general. Today I am a mobile disc jockey and a musician, but no longer a hippie in the real sense of the word.
At 19 I was full of hope, high ideals, and a belief that I could make a difference in the world. All that has changed.
At 19 I didn't give a rats ass about what anyone thought about me or their approval. That much has remained the same.
At 19, because I never had parents I wanted to be a good Dad, and five children later I'm still trying. I hope to get it right eventually.
At 19 I had A LOT of hair. I still do, but some of it has migrated from the crown of my head to my back and my ass.
At 19 I had an explosive temper and would scrap in a heartbeat if necessary, something that was in polar opposition to my small size and desire to follow the hippie philosophy. Today I have brought my temper under control and although I will turn confrontational in an instant, am too old to be getting into physical altercations.
At 19 I believed sex to be the most wonderful thing available aside from love and outside of a temporary detour with cocaine I still do.
At 19 I thought a new band named Yes that hardly anyone had heard of yet was the greatest band ever. I still do.
At 19 I was driven by a hatred of my parents for deserting me. I've gotten over that.
At 19 I wanted to live forever. I still do. Even with it's ups and downs and even though it's a crapshoot at best, life is still interesting and better than being dead.
you married your first daughter

At 19, my mission was to educate as well as entertain. Little has changed. :wink:

awwhhh, shucks. I just saw this. You're sweet, dys <smooch>. That would depend on how often you send your wives to the corner though. I get pretty uppity when someone tells me what to do.
Hey, J_B, would you grab me a cup of coffee?
Certainly, but only because you asked so nicely <smooch to you too>
hey, looks like some posts have been deleted. few hours back there were 127 now only 116?
yes the good taste police have edited me and slappy. we probably deserve it.
I thought this looked different.
