I was the "perfect" teen, maybe it was because of the time and place I grew up in. I loved to read Superman and Archie comic books, haven't read on in years.
I loved Jaws and all the Jaws movies, didn't keep me out of the water. I HATE spicy food of any kind.
Were you a "Good Teen"
or
Did you give your parents more than a few "gray hairs"
For the most part I was a good teen. I did have a couple of "stupid" moments. Those of course were HUGE so I got all my "bad" out with just a couple of things.
Extra Credit Question:
After reading the book or seeing the movie Jaws, how many of you "stayed out of the water" ?
Not me, I swear I'm part fish, I love being in the water.
I wasn't perfect, but for the most part, yes, I was a good teen.
Comic Books?
My favorite one was Millie the Model. Also, liked Archie and a few others.
Haven't read one since I was about 8 probably! My son read some Spiderman and action heroes ones.
Jaws?
Saw it but never had opportunity to swim in the ocean anyway!
Spicy Food?
Definite yay! Not so spicy or hot that you practically can't eat it!
but definitely like spicy! Favorite? Like pretty much all Mexican food.
Were you a "Good Teen" or Did you give your parents more than a few "gray hairs" I tried to be, but drove my parents nuts. Dad was white headed before I was born so that was someone elses fault!!
Bonus Question:
What were your favorite comic books growing up ?I read hundreds of them. My cousin worked in a comic book factory. For the life of me I can't remember what any of them were.
When was the last time you read a comic book ? About 40 years ago.
Extra Credit Question:
After reading the book or seeing the movie Jaws, how many of you "stayed out of the water" ? Not me, critters with teeth always caught my attention as a possible pet. I swear dads white hair was not my fault!! But In 1968 I was the only child in the neighborhood who got a six foot black snake rather than the typical bunny or chicks for easter.

Were you a "Good Teen" or Did you give your parents more than a few "gray hairs" I was a good teen because I started working (babysitting) at 12 years old until I was old enough to get a work permit (16)..I was good because work was a necessity just to stay in school...

I don't really get into the water far enough for the movie to matter to me.
Just For Fun Questions :
Spicy food yay or nay: Sometimes
Favorite Spicy Food ? 7 day pickles
Karla, it is your idea, so whatever you choose. I just enjoy visiting. We can choose not to answer when we don't want to and sometimes I skip questions. I notice others do to. Keep up the good work and one question would be enough if you want to go that way, but please don't ask what I have planned for the day. Usually nothing, but I am very creative. I can think something up to do, but if you ask my plans, I will have to be honest and say, "I have no plans." Maybe some people are busy doing taxes or maybe they have a new year's resolution not to be on the computer so much.
Karla, I worked in a one person library. I started in June and the circulation just soared and went down when school started because the local schools had their own libraries. Then December came and I was one of the loneliest people in town. I thought I must have done something to offend someone. Not! They were just shopping and not reading. January came and they were back. People are on their own schedules and may be just trying to keep warm or they may be playing in the snow. They'll be back when their schedule changes.
Whatever you decide to do is fine with me. You can ask and if we don't want to answer we have that choice! I don't know how you think up stuff every day.
Were you a "Good Teen" I have been hearing some wild stories lately about parenting or Grandparenting teens, I laughed when I read "Good Teen" - is that possible? Maybe I am thinking perfect according to parent.
or
Did you give your parents more than a few "gray hairs" Well they never had a heart attack! One of my friends just had a heart attack dealing with his daughter slipping out at night!
What were your favorite comic books growing up ? Archie and Friends
When was the last time you read a comic book ? My Grandson received a few comic books for Christmas.
After reading the book or seeing the movie Jaws, how many of you "stayed out of the water" ? Not me. I lived to surf in those days.
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.

LOL, Mike! Actually, you're not too far off. It is 101 degrees warmer today than this time last Friday! In my little corner of Alaska, that is. There are LOTS of puddles floating on top of the ice--treacherous walking and driving right now. Our poor doggies can't understand why their two footed parents aren't taking them for walks.
One of the "big" sled dog races, the Kuskokwim 300, is supposed to start tonight. It's alternate name is the Kusko-Swim because it invariably coincides with a warm spell. One of my husband's favorite memories is of one of the race officials a few years back standing on his sunken snowmachine (snow mobile for you "Outsiders'), water flowing all around him, directing mushers traversing the river.
