When you get to be my age, you have trouble remembering what you were doing when you were 19- at least I do. Could be my mispent youth though.

In that case you're a little long on years - Hint - In 1981 I clipped the National Champion R A bull, 7 months after I graduated high school.

Yeah for the Big 18. I will turn 18 on May 23, the day before i graduate....Im sooooo excited and yet its a little scary ;D :'(.  I guess this is when my character comes to light, when i make these big decisions for the future and stick with them... like going to college and graduating.

BTW Shortyjocky89 are you in highschool or college, just wondering what college if you have already graduated.

  Now I know why I like your posts so well Jill. You are from a grand age of good times and memories. BTW, Shortyjock, you are wise beyond your years. It will be fun for some of us to say, I knew him when. You have a very bright future ahead of you. Keep up the good work.
