Bad - I've been on blood pressure medication since age 20. All four of my grandparents died of strokes. Guess I know my future.

Good - I've been in a pretty stable relationship for about 10 months now. I'm aiming to propose by the end of the year.

Well this explains a lot. Mainly how you could possibly be friends with someone like mantooth. I suggest you seek immediate medical attention for the lingering head injuries.

Damn. Missed that part.

Somehow, if you'd said you did already have them at 10, I might believe you.

Good: I was a John Glenn DC Fellow at Ohio State and met the former Senator in Winter 2007. We chatted about nuclear weapons policy, and something we share, both being Masons.

Bad: I failed my driving test twice times growing up. Once, going down a road I rarely ever drove, failed to look at all ways at a four way stop. Twice, nailed the cones on parallel parking portion.

Bad: Age 18, driving home from work and had a 6:00 tee time, was fiddling with the radio and bashed the car in front of me.....driven by my then girlfriend's Dad. I'll never live that down.
