9. I started smoking cigarettes when I was 19, and quit when I was 25. I tried quitting 5 different times unsuccessfully, but the 6th time was a charm.

17. I'm a self-employed Business Intelligence consultant, and have been for the last 3+ years. Self employment has been the key to happiness in my career. If/when the day comes that I have to get a "real" job again, it will be a sad day indeed.

18. I love geography. I think Google Earth is by far the coolest app ever developed.

19. I feel that religion can be part of the solution, but more often than not it's part of the problem.

20. I was born and raised Catholic, but I'm not raising my kids in any particular religion. When the subject comes up, I try to explain to them the belief systems of the different religions. I really just want them to find and follow their own path.

21. The last time I spanked one of my kids, she hurled her sippy cup back at me and hit me square in the forehead. I was torn between being angry and proud. Mainly proud. :)

22. I flunked out of college my freshman year. I was too young, too immature, and didn't know myself well enough to know what I wanted. I went back to school a couple of times but never finished. I always found work much more gratifying than school.

23. I played piano when I was younger and was pretty good at it. I quit b/c I was young and stupid. I recently purchased a piano and hope to re-learn it.

24. My dad worked for a large brewery for multiple decades, but I never saw him drink much. I always assumed it was b/c his dad was an abusive alcoholic, but now that I have kids I find myself avoiding alcohol as well. Especially when it means I'll be around my kids while under the influence. It's not that I'm a bad drunk, I'm just not a good enough parent when I've been drinking.
