What are examples of some life milestones?

Asked by sprstar (114points) May 16th, 2010

I’m trying to list 10 milestones of the past 10 years and I’m drawing a blank. I know there’s: Marriage, Buying first home, Having a child, Graduating college, etc. After those, I’m confused about what others there are. Help?

First post-graduation job in your career of choice.
First loss of a close friend or family member.
Perhaps (depending on your age and social maturity) first intimate relationship.
Overcoming certain challenges and/or habits.
Milestones for me are when I have an epiphany in self-awareness.

First car.
First real job
First apartment
First hospital visit where you are the adult.
First child
First marriage
First death of loved one
First move
First parents serious illness
First serious illness.

Not in that order.

@worriedguy

Wow…your story explains a lot about your life attitude! LOL

( Yeah, so shoot me, grumpy old narcissists bring out the worst in me. lol )

For a woman, her first public hair, first period, first orgasm, and all that other stuff already mentioned.

@gailcalled

NO!

Not yet!
1st orgasm…hmmm…I was 8 twirling on the monkey bars when something happend…went back to those monkey bars every day for a month but it was never replicated till many years later. lol

Draconess25's avatar

@gailcalled 1st pubic hair: Do people seriously pay attention to that?! 1st period: I was 10 & it ruined the rest of 5th grade. 1st orgasm: Around the same time I read my 1st yaoi story. Coincidence, perhaps?

gailcalled's avatar

@Draconess25: I can speak only for myself, but I was horrified when that first hair sprouted down there. What’s a yaoi story?

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

1. First move from home country
2. Second move from childhood country
3. First kiss/date
4. First intercourse
5. First kiss with a girl
6. First girl love
7. First job
8. First publication
9. First marriage
10. First child
divorce, second marriage, second child, first degree, second degree, first study abroad, second study abroad, etc etc etc.

Draconess25's avatar

@gailcalled Well, I was horrified when I started noticing them, but I didn’t notice the 1st one!
Yaoi.

@Coloma This “grumpy old narcissist” has a lovely attitude and a sense of humour, you old maid with cat you. Did you get the Yiddish part?

Notice how you have again attacked me personally, unprovoked, in a thread about milestones. Why don’t you go ask some interesting questions. I haven’t read any from you yet, and I look forward to them someday. Let’s see your lovely, shining personality and sense of humour in some really good questions. You go girl.

How about coming to the realization that one is not immortal ;)

gailcalled's avatar

@Zen_Again; I got it, Yiddisher Kop.

Zen_Again's avatar

I know you did, dear. Did you shmeichel a bisele?

SeventhSense's avatar

Hey I remember first pubic hair too. When was a kid that was a major deal.

gailcalled's avatar

@Zen_Again: I did, and more than a bisele.

Coloma's avatar

@Zen_Again

I’m sorry, truly, but…you have ‘provocation’ branded onto your behind.

‘Old maid’ doesn’t qualify my friend, you are certainly not very astute.

Maybe you should change your name to ‘ThenAgain’...we have already pow wowed on how innapropriate ‘Zen’ is.

Whatsa’ matter Zen…don’t play well with others?

Okay, okay..I’ll back off, you’re just such a target….has this always been an issue for you?

Cruiser's avatar

You look young enough to have a lot of firsts still in the gas tank.

Some of my memorable were
First time you knew you were in love with your SO where and why!
First fight and why
First time farting in front of SO and where
First time getting caught with your pants down and where
I’ll post more but I have to go to bed.

First bra… that was a MAJOR event, I absolutely didn’t need it but definitely wanted to have one, it was just a girl thing… Ironically, I haven’t worn a bra for years…

Zen_Again's avatar

Seems only with you Coma, sorry @Coloma – only with you. I’ve been here for over a year and have many friends here. No-one has ever just jumped into a thread, mine or anyone elses, and called me everything from a jackass to a narcissist.

I hear from others that you are rubbing lots of people the wrong way, not just me. Like I said, there’s room here for everyone – and if you call me a “target” and have issue with my nickname, coma, then that’s your problem. I for one, couldn’t give a rats ass about what you think. I have given you enough chances – you seem to enjoy fighting – a single 50 year old lonely lady with a cat who thinks she’s their pajamas isn’t worth the energy and effort anymore. I no longer see you.

SeventhSense's avatar

First kill…did I just say that out loud?

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@SeventhSense A life-altering experience indeed.

Coloma's avatar

@Zen_Again

You rub me the wrong way due to your gross ass-umptions and cock o’ the walk attitude.

Which you just did yet again in your last posting.

Let the ostricism begin. ;-)

gailcalled's avatar

@Coloma:Who you calling an ostrich? You are so emu. Rheally!

@gailcalled

Mediation bird flies in with good humor!

I have never been very good at adopting a head in the sand attitude.

Thanks for the humorous interjection, now I must migrate to a distant question before us sparring gamebirds birds tape anymore razor blades to our ankles. lol

gailcalled's avatar

@Coloma: I do quail at what you might think up next.

Zen_Again's avatar

Cockfight?
