What was your first live concert?

Say hi to my mom and sister while you are there!

My first concert was early 1970 ~ at the San Diego Sports Arena ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival and Poco! AWESOME! We were just months away from haveing drivers license's so my folks, who were 35 and 32 at the time and BIG fans of CCR, took us!

WHAT WAS YOUR WORST "DATE"?

Hi Gary's mum and sister.

My worst date was a blind date when I was 18. The guy had a toupee and that's all I could look at.

Along the same lines who was your first kiss?

MY FIRST KISS..humm.Not counting cousins?

My first REAL kiss was by a senior in high school, I was a junior...pretty much she KISSED me...and KISSED me GOOD! I really caught on after that lesson! I took her to the football game at our school, went for burgers after at the hang out, then took her home...we were sitting in the car just talking when she reached across and pulled me out of my bucket seat!

Just kidding about the cousins

DID YOU MARRY YOUR FIRST REAL "RELATIONSHIP"?

I knew the girls couldn't keep their hands off of your handsome self!!!

If I had married my first "real" relationship -- I think I'd be homeless right now, supporting him and the 10 kids he wanted to have (and riding around on a motorcyle!!). I don't think my first relationship was one of my better choices!! Faired much better when one was picked for me!!!

Worst breakup at what age?

Worst breakup? Senior in high school. My boyfriend who was a year younger decided on grad night to break up with me because he figured I'd be off to college and he would be stuck in high school. I didn't see it coming.

What is your idea of the perfect date?

PERFECT DATE

My perfect date would be doing a 5K on a great spring/summer morning with my wife, going to a late breakfast then coming home and working together on a house project.

WHICH WAS MORE FUN JUNIOR HIGH/MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL

I seem to notice there aren't too many people who stay up late on here.

What was more fun -- JH/MS/HS ---
High school -- because by then I had a job and a car -- what fun is middle school when the only fun is mom taking you to rollerskating at school??

Okay -- three part question and then I'll get to work --

If you had three wishes what would they be -- but I'm picky here -- one is for yourself, one is for your family and one is for your community.

ALL RIGHT SHELBY,I'LL ANSWER~ I will stay away from the obvious ~ HEALTH and RICHES!

FOR ME ~ I wish someday (when my kids are READY, to have grandchildren!)

FOR MY FAMILY ~ I wish that there was an area of the country (that we all could agree with ) where we could all live and have affordable housing and jobs ~ pretty much there are those areas...but it's the weather thing ya know

FOR MY COMMUNITY ~ This is the easiest, I live by a MARINE base, a very big part of our local community ~ I pray for their safety in these troubled times of our nation and world. And of course for our nearby Naval Base!

IF YOU COULD BE A ROCK/COUNTRY MUSIC STAR ~ WHAT BAND WOULD YOU BE PLAYING OR SINGING WITH?

I'd like to do a duet with Johnny Mathis.

How do you take your coffee?

If it is good coffee, just milk, harsher coffee I add ~1/2-1 tsp of nestle quik (if it is very very very good coffee I drink it black

what time do you get up in the morning? what time would you get up if you got the choice?

5:45 a.m. -- I'd like to get up when my body says it's time to, probably no later than 7:00 a.m.
