Every day is a new day and with that, a new opportunity.
EVERYONE is welcome and please join us each morning at 7:30 AM PACIFIC
to tell us what you're working on, share your show & tell, vent, whatever you want...
...this is an open thread. Nothing is off topic.

Do you remember how old you were when you had your first crush?
Was it a secret crush, or did you wear your heart in your eyes?
Was your first crush on someone much older, or your teacher, or someone famous or hopelessly out of reach?
Did the object of your first crush like you back, or even know you existed?
I'll join you in the comments with my first crush, which wasn't composed of ripe grapes!
Who was your first crush, and how did it turn out?

I'm listening.
