Apparently I am making up for last week, today.  3 posts in one day.  Two really don't count.  Thinking back on growing up, I spent a lot of time at my friends' homes.  Depending on the friend and the involvement of the parent, my friend's parents definitely had an influence on me, my ideas, goals, etc.

I spent a lot of time at this woman's house from about 4th to 8th grade.  She used to just sit and hang out with us sometimes.  I definitely think she made an impact on me.
