My first bike (a Schwinn Sting-Ray) was stolen from me when I went to a Thrifty's drug store with a friend to get an ice cream cone. Came out and it was gone. I was heartbroken. Learned my lesson and got a bike chain and lock for my next bike.

When you take a little nap on Friday, then make two visits to urgent care,where they say you just have pink eye then finally on Monday get a correct diagnosis of cornea abrasion

I was NOT faking it

I have that from a racquetball injury many years ago. Still bothers me every now and then.

#5 - I write and send myself emails all the time to make sure I remember to do things. I call it being efficient.

Me too. Every single thing goes in my calendar. In addition, I set my phone alarm ahead of each event in case I forget to check my calendar.

That leads me to the one thing on this list that I do not follow. #6! I cannot stand to be late for something. I've always been that way and my passion to be on time has not diminished as I get older. It must be my Swiss heritage.

When my kids were growing up, i used to tell them, "if you want to be in the Top 10%, just show up on time."

I'd love to ease up on this unnecessary fear of being late because in most cases, it doesn't really matter. But, on time I remain.

I'm habitually early for everything, which means I spend an inordinate amount of time waiting. If I had a dime for every minute I've spent waiting in my life, I'd be independently wealthy now.

I’m with you guys. If I’m not 1/2 hour early, I feel like I’m late. My mother and my ex husband were late for everything. Drove me batshit crazy.

Yep, same here. Even my clocks are all set a few minutes ahead. Must be a BPOT thing.
