This is kind of a dumb question but some friends and I got to talking and it got kind of interesting so I thought I'd post the main cause of the conversation here... I was wondering what the first thing you did when you turned 18?
If you're not 18 what's the first thing you plan to do?

I voted. It was about six months after my 18th. I was super excited about it.

My friends planned a party for me at a bar on a Sat. night for my 18th b'day. The problem was, I didn't turn 18 until after midnight. I had one drink, and a person in the bar who thought it would be funny... busted me! I got kicked out, while the rest of my so-called friends stayed in the bar and partied.

The first thing I did when I turned 18 was plot my revenge, lol!

You can be 18 and drink in Canada... hmm you learn something new everyday.
Sucks about being busted though.. wha'd the cops say?

Bought 18 scratch off lotto tickets.

... spent $18 on it, won $77.

... it was a good day.

Lotto tickets.. don't know why I didn't think of that. Next time I buy gas I'll have to get some- my b-day was last Friday.

Happy belated birthday bud. Yeah, it's better if you get your friends to just buy you 18 tickets.

18, wow, that was almost 20 years ago. Sigh.

My friends took me to Chucky Cheese and we ordered Chucky Beer (it leaves allot to be desired and is appropriately named). Then we all went to a bar, got a bit tipsy and danced the night away. It was a night to remember, and a hangover that lasted 3 days.

They didn't call the cops. Probably because they would've been in trouble for not checking ID. Thing is, I had gone in that same bar several times from the time I was 16. We always tried to see if we could get away with it, and we did! So it really sucked when I was carded just a few hrs before I turned 18, and then they didn't allow me back in even after midnite. It sucked! LOL

Yes, legal drinking age in Canada is 18. I think Ontario might be 19 now.

18... that was 30+ years ago for me. YIKES!

I skipped a class so I could sign in without a parental note.

It wasn't that long ago for me Flossie! I'm only... uhhmmm... 29?. Yeah that's it, 29! ;)

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Hehe!

"It wasn't that long ago for me Flossie! I'm only...uhhmmm...29??...Yeah that's it, 29!!

LOL!! My mum's still saying that... but I think that would make her about eleven when she had me, she's about 40 for real though but she's been 29 for ages. :)

Starby, you can't be 29 for 15 years, it doesn't work that way. ;)

Yer just no fun Alty! ;) Friends don't let friends be 15 yrs older than 29?! :eek: Well, I out of..!

That's OK sweetie... you don't want to grow up too soon anyway right? :D

Ps... remember?. you don't want old creaky dinosaur bones, hehe!

I flew to Amsterdam and from there I backpacked Europe for 3 months!! Then I had to come back for College...

3 minutes before I was 18, I walked into 711. I wondered around the store for three minutes, and when the big clock on the wall struck midnight, I legally bought my first pack of Cigarettes. Sad but true. I'm really glad I quit.

I live in Michigan. I also Live about 45 min. away from the border into Canada. On my 19th birthday I participated in the right of passage of crossing the border and getting trashed. As far as I know, you have to be 19 to drink in Canada.

Stay young. It's so much fun. By the way, I love your screen name... that's adorable!

I got engaged on my 18th birthday. It was puppy love and we didn't get married but I still have fond memories of those times. Gah almost 9 years ago now.

I'm 22, I have three friends who got married as soon as they turned 18. Only one of the three couples are still married. I have yet to get engaged for that very reason.

Not in Alberta. In British Columbia the legal age is 19, in Alberta it's 18. I live in Alberta, it pays to drive an extra day. :)

Good going! I got married right after my 19th birthday... need I say more? Maybe for the people that don't know me here I might, but yeah,. that didn't go well! ;)

I think it might be 19 in Ontario and Quebec too... but us westerners have it good, LOL! I still get ID'd at 29! :eek: Can you imagine Alty??

No no... I believe you... really I do!. no really! ;)

Oh Starby, you make me chuckle so. I still get ID'd, which is understandable seeing as I'm only 24. ;);););)

I think the general rule is that you can be 24 about 15 times...

... and then 25 another 7 times...

... at least according to my mother...

...I haven't been IDed since I was 18...not that I drank underage...

Sneezy, isn't the legal age in the US 21? Hmm, something about your story seems a bit suspicious, hmmm, I might have to ask more questions to get to the truth. Can I handle the truth? :) ;)

Nah, we'd best leave it the way you want it to leave it...

I'm an angel :)

You just wait until you hit 24, it's not easy, let me tell you. Especially when you have two kids and a husband of 13 years, yikes, I started young. ;) ;) ;)

I follow the general rule according to Sneezy! Love that rule! Give your Mom a pat on the back for me!

Is that halo around your ankle dear, or are you using it as a collar for your puppy? ;)

Got to go to sleep.

Happy 18 OP, do what you will, just don't get caught. ;) KIDDING! :eek:

Happy 18th Gernald!. G'nite now really! Us 29 yr olds need our beauty sleep! :D

Not in Alberta. In British Columbia the legal age is 19, in Alberta it's 18. I live in Alberta, it pays to drive an extra day. :)

Wow, if I had known that I'm sure we would have made the drive. Sadly it's too late for me now, and I don't feel compelled, in the least, to share this new found info with younger generations. Haha. I'm 26, and the hardest birthday so far was 25. The day that I was closer to 30 than to 20 was a bit of a bummer. It doesn't bother me so much anymore... 30 is the new 20 right?

I think the next time I go up to PA I'll drive another few hours and make a pit stop north of the border...
I probably won't handle it too well though coffee makes me psycho I can only imagine what other stuff will do... :)

I remember I couldn't wait to turn the big one eight...

First thing I did was buy a pack of smokes.
Second thing I did was reserve 3 hotel rooms so that I could celebrate my b-day with a bunch of friends. I know a person must be at least 18 to reserve a room. We had a blast!
Thirdly I legally started dating my boyfriend!

Now I'm just waiting on my 21st b-day which is in 8 months and 3 days.

Honey, I'm 37, I think 40 is the new 30. ;)
