One2note: Wouldn't it be nice if there was one thread with no arguments or bickering, not rants, no aggression.. Just a simple thread where people can talk & share their life experiences, without having to resort to mocking & find out more about other individuals past & present!
For a man with a SUPPOSEDLY good education, plus a long and varied life experience, you're either an eternal optimist, One, or just plain stupid, to wish for a nice everybody pats everybody else on the back, thread!
But, to answer your original question, One, SURVIVING to adulthood, with all my faculties intact! There have been MORE than a few "interesting" episodes in my life, but trying to say that any one of them was pivotal is silly. They ALL had their part, in shaping me and the life I've lived. So, the fact that I managed to survive long enough to have the most impactful events of my life, would have to be my #1 choice!

rainbowdream2017: 5 kids and you handle everything on your own, no support of family or ex ?
I actually have seven children, but at the time I had five living with me, the oldest wasn't at home and the youngest wasn't born yet (they're 18 years apart in age), I had an awesome husband and wife daycare team, the wife took care of the kids during the day and the husband took care of the kids at night. It worked out great. I was exhausted because I was over 35 at the time and the school was 45 miles from home and my job, I would leave my job and drive directly down there on a two-lane road that was so busy at 5 PM. I didn't known any better, just did it and since I love learning about medicine I enjoyed it. My kids have always been close to my daycare providers, so it was like family. Yes there were times I cried because I was so tired, but I got through it. When I finished school I stayed at my county job working for the courthouse. I did appreciate the 8 hour work day a lot better when I finished all school.
