Hi everyone,

Just curious, i ran across this line "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" when i was reading a magazine in a coffee shop and wondered about it since then. So what are you up to these days? Did something new that gave you a whole new perspective in life? I'll appreciate your responses. Thanks.

Regards,
Morwanneg

    Wow, I just realized something. I haven't done anything for the first time in
    a very long time.

    Even the electric guitar I just bought. It wasn't my first. I had one when I
    was about 16 years old. So this isn't a first either.

    I really have to think about this...it's been a long time.

    Same here. The fact that all i had been doing were habitual things the past few years bothered me. I realized that i suddenly need to explore new things and try out new horizons... whatever that maybe.

    I've never really stopped and thought about it.

    In fact...I've just done it for the first time.

    Thanks for the motivation.

    I do new stuff alot. Yesterday was a first for me on some technical garbage and I am going to be confronted with some more new tech stuff in a minute.

    I went to 3 new places last week. Does that count?

    I'm starting work on a physical product for the first time, too, this week. Drawing up the plans now.

    I just coated a fossil for the first time - after finding that particular type of fossil for the first time last summer. I'm going to sell a fossil for the first time, hopefully very soon. LOL.

    I like first times. Always have and always will (except the one that involved jumping out of an airplane - I could have been finely happy never having done that, but I guess ya got to do it to find out that you would never want to do that).

      I love traveling and going to new places. Are you like an archeologist? Lol. You're diggin' up fossils and selling them to museums? hehehe.

    Yesterday, I started to teach myself how to make movies with Apple's "iMovie". So using that software is my most recent "first time" experience.

    Define 'first time'

    As you get older you might discover that you do many things for the first time because you can't remember that you did them before!

    This morning I got up for the first time today and, in fact, for the first time this week.

    When I took my dogs out I walked up a street I had never walked up before.

    When I read my morning paper I learned that something had happened for the first time - does that count?

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
