    I have interviewed Robert Ballard, the guy who discovered the wreck of the Titanic.

    Wow!! How fascinating! How did that happen and what was he like.

    Married at 18
    Had my son at 19 (natural childbirth and he weighed 9 lbs, 7 oz)
    Divorced at 20
    Married at 22
    Widowed (suicide) at 23
    I felt like I was 100 years old!

    I also married at 18, had my first born at 19 and divorced at 20 (2 months after my sons birth). Married again at 25...still happily married. I am sorry to hear of you being widowed. :(

    I am a parront to two macaws...

    I had a pair of amazon parrots. One day my husband had too much to drink and decided to show off to his friends how friendly my blue front parrot was by sticking it's head in his mouth. Needless to say parrot freaked out and bit my husband in the back of his tongue. His tongue swelled up so much he could barely talk. He had to go to the doctors and explain what happened. The doctor just laughed and said "you should have cooked it before you tried to eat it." :laugh:

    I am (potentially) going to be able to take a tiger cruise with my sailor son this summer!! I will be able to shadow my son for 4 days on a working aircraft carrier!! I am so freaking excited I could bust!!!

    I have done three of those with my son, fly to Pearl and then spend the last week of the West Pac with him......you will love it. Unbelieveable experience.

    when i was 6 years old i levitated
    (laying on my back on the grass beside my grandmother's flower garden) i was so excited! i even glided up the grassy bank a lil and then back down again, watching the clouds as i did so, then i landed, then jumped right up to run and tell my mum. (though i used the word float, i was 6 after all *L*)
    When i told her what i had done she said 'oh shelly, you can NOT float'

    i was so upset! and so determined to prove her wrong. But when i tried to do it again all i could hear was her voice telling me i could not..and was never able to levitate again.
    To this day i still blame her for telling me it was impossible thereby making it impossible to do so again *L*

    4 years ago on a whim I brought a saxophone on Ebay and taught myself to play and have been in a gigging band for 18 months

    I am writing a song but like the person who wrote the novels will probably never show it to anyone

    Until I was 25 I had never been to a MacDonalds, which was a good one, but then I was taken to one by a friend. I refused to go inside, though, and only ate apple fritters, so have never had the normal kind of MacDonalds food.

    I used to be a swan-herd? People always seem to think that's funny.
