Today's Question(s):

I am thrifty/frugal when it comes to

I'm pretty much thrifty/frugal with everything. Something my dad told me has always stuck with me and that is: It's okay to spend money, but not waste money. I buy what I need, but I don't waste money.

Bonus Question:

Fess up Have you ever stayed out all night "playing" came home showered and went to work ? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count One thing I have to say is that I have never, ever in my life called in 'sick' because I'd been out partying. Felt like crap, but I was at work.


Extra Credit Question:

When was the last time you used or wanted to use the phrase

"It's my way or the highway" ? I live with a cat and that phrase doesn't work LOL


Inquiring Minds Question:

Did you take "Drivers Ed" in School ? Yip! Scared the instructor a tad when he told me I could pass the driver in front of me, so I floored the car and zoomed past. He just looked at me and said I didn't need to drive quite that fast when I passed


Just for Fun:

How old were you when you got your

Learners permit ? 15 1/2
Your Drivers License ? 16 (though I was driving before I was supposed to)

My DS was around 17+ before he got his license; said he didn't want the hassle. A mother's dream


Do you know without checking what year you have to renew your License ? Yes, 2013 - I still drive on my CO license LOL

I have told this to many of the ground handlers we use to load our airplanes.

Inquiring Minds Question:

Did you take "Drivers Ed" in School ?
I already had my license when I took Drivers Ed in school. I only took it to get a break on insurance. It was a real joke. The first day I was to drive, there was a whiteout snowstorm. The other student with me did not know how to drive. She spent more time in the ditch than on the road. The next week the teacher (our vice principal) just tossed me the keys and asked me to take someone to the airport. The teacher did not come along. That was the last time I even got into the Drivers Ed car let alone actually drive. Got an "A" for the class and a certificate saying I completed the required 6 hours of driving.

Just for Fun:

How old were you when you got your

Learners permit ?
Never had one. I was driving by the time I was 12. By the time I was 14 I could borrow the car pretty much any time I wanted.

Your Drivers License ?
16
A lot of kids have to beg their dad to let them drive once they turn 16. I had no choice. My dad said it was my turn to drive him around. After getting my license I can only recall a couple times where my dad drove when I was in the car.

Do you know without checking what year you have to renew your License ?
Yes I do. It expires 3 years from today.
