17. Away to college, then marriage and family. Never even went back home for summers during couple college years. Had jobs in the college town and kept those during the summer. One of those resulted in my meeting the lady still loudly snoring in the back bedroom!!! :>)

I still don't!!! Just push down the lever. When it smells right, I flip it up to check. If needs more, will push it back down again.

The numbers are there for minutes the bread is toasting...not for the darkness of the toast. Doesn't thin sliced sandwich bread toast faster than regular bread? White bread needs toasted a little longer than 12 grain bread. Muffins or pop tarts take different times. I could never keep all that straight in my mind! I always just turn/slide the control as far as it will got and keep an eye on the bread until it's "toasty". :>) Wow! I sure made the simply act of toasting bread difficult, didn't I????

Folks got me an electric razor as I headed off to college, age 17. Barely needed it then. (In the early 70's, went 3 1/2 years with out shaving. Never even trimmed the beard. Just let it grow. That was back before it all turned white!!) How old were you when you had the first birthday party you remember... cake, ice cream. hats, some friends in....

Around 5. My Mum never had a birthday party when she was a child, so she made sure my sister and myself always had a party.
Same question.
