Don't Show, Just Tell

I thought it would be interesting to know how new forum members became Pyrex collectors or avid users, and came up with a short list of questions. Feel free to reply to this thread with your own answers (but no photos):
1. What is the first Pyrex ware of which you recall being aware?
2. What is the first piece of vintage Pyrex ware you actually owned?
3. Do you primarily acquire Pyrex more as a collector, a user, or both?
4. What is the first piece you acquired with an eye toward collecting Pyrex?
5. Is there a pattern or type of dish you just cannot resist adding more of to your collection?
6. If you were forced to give up your Pyrex collection except for one piece, what would that piece be?
7. Knowing it's hard to choose only one, name up to three items, rare or not, on your "holy grail" or "bucket list".
1. My grandmother's pink 403 bowl she used frequently, or the 2.5qt. yellow hostess casseroles my mother always used.
2. A yellow 404 mixing bowl, received as a a gift from family friends, which belonged to their late mother.
3. Both, but more collector.
4. A FlameGlo 402 in perfect condition.
5. When found, I find it hard to pass up 500 series refrigerator pieces if in EX condition.
6. The first yellow 404 for sentimental reasons.
7. UFO casserole with candle warmer, Penn Dutch 475 with underplate, or one of the rare chip n' dips, all in EX condition. Although I have recently learned my grandmother's pink bowls are still in possession of a family member.
