When you were 7 years old, how did you get to school (walk, bus, driven by parent etc), and what did you like best and least about getting to school that way?
Bus. What I liked best was sitting in the back and flying around when we went over bumps. What I liked least was that I had to ride the bus at all. I went to a small neighborhood school where most of the kids were able to walk home for lunch.
Extra Credit Question:
Do you still have any teddy bears (or other stuffed animals) from your childhood ? If yes, tell us a little bit about your favourite.
I have a teddy bear, Blinkers, that my grandmother gave me.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been stung by a bee? Did you have an allergic reaction to it?
Many times..... not allergic.
Just for Fun:
Are you older or younger than Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” (recorded on this day in 1967)? Older. I was in high school in '67.
When you were 7 years old, how did you get to school (walk, bus, driven by parent etc), and what did you like best and least about getting to school that way? I rode the school bus and I hated it, I was horribly shy and the other kids were merciless with their bullying and teasing. No good memories there.
Extra Credit Question:
Do you still have any teddy bears (or other stuffed animals) from your childhood ? If yes, tell us a little bit about your favourite. None from my childhood but I do have a "Tickle Me Elmo" from when my son was little and 3 beanie baby ostriches

When you were 7 years old, how did you get to school (walk, bus, driven by parent etc), and what did you like best and least about getting to school that way? ~ I know I rode the bus home but don't remember how I got there. I remember that they had both the elementary and High School on the same bus. We rode together. Big age difference (they were different schools). I remember that that there was this mean girl on the bus that was older than me that would pinch me and make me cry. :O(
Extra Credit Question:
Do you still have any teddy bears (or other stuffed animals) from your childhood ? If yes, tell us a little bit about your favourite. ~ Not sure this this "counts" as a "stuffed animal" but
I still have a doll (which is fabric and stuffed). That is the only one that I can think of right now. It is packed away, so haven't seen it in a while. From what I remember it is green and yellow or white checked with I think orange hair. I remember it was not the one that I wanted, I wanted the pink one.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been stung by a bee? Did you have an allergic reaction to it? ~ Yes, unfortunately I have been stung before (more than once). Didn't have any serious reaction before from it.
Just for Fun:
Are you older or younger than Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” (recorded on this day in 1967)? ~ Younger

No

Driven into town to Grandparents home then walked to school Didn't really dislike any of it.
One stuffed thingy named Suzy and Tuffy, printed fabric of a little girl and kitten front and back
Yes on the bee No on the reaction
Older by 6 3/4 years.
When you were 7 years old, how did you get to school (walk, bus, driven by parent etc), and what did you like best and least about getting to school that way? I think it is safe to say I walked to school when I was 7. It was a total of maybe 20 feet from my bedroom to the livingroom. I was sick that year and the school district would send a teacher to my house 3 days a week. I really would have rather gone to school just like everyone else. Not a fun time.
Extra Credit Question:
Do you still have any teddy bears (or other stuffed animals) from your childhood ? If yes, tell us a little bit about your favourite. Not sure if I have any stuffed animals still hanging around from my childhood years.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been stung by a bee? Did you have an allergic reaction to it? I have only been stung by a bee once. I am guessing it was not even alive when it happened. I was like 5 years old and was rolling down a grassy hill. Rolled right over the bee. Being five I was sure I was going to die or at least need major medical attention. Turns out other than a small welt I had no reaction to it.
Just for Fun:
Are you older or younger than Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” (recorded on this day in 1967)? I am older. I was in Oklahoma City when that song came out. It seemed like all of the radio statios would play that song at least once an hour.
