Name an experience you've wished you have had.

[Longgrain]

I'd say publishing my first novel...

Anyone else?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. Pregnancy and childbirth

Alas, 'tis not to be.

[Longgrain]

12. My sister is going through the same thing....

She and her husband have been trying for children for about seven years now...

They have since decided to adopt tho...:)

Me, myself would love to become a father--someday...but no such luck for me.

[Rowdyboy]

2. Woodstock

[Longgrain]

13. AHHHH me too...

I came close in '94 tho...

Here I am coming back from the pale aneversary...

[PinkTiger]

3. Sniffing morning breath

on George Clooney.
Be still, my heart.

[Left Is Write]

6. Funny...

George Clooney's name popped into my head too, upon reading the title of this thread.

[RandomKoolzip]

4. Invisibility in the girls' locker room.

[Left Is Write]

5. Put "getting published" up there for me too.

Also, I sometimes wish I'd gone the big wedding/traditional gown option when we got married.

[Longgrain]

14. I know! The publication bit is hard!

I suppose I can also add too my list of dreams getting a Gallery showing of my art work...

[MADem]

7. Attending the Kerry inaugural tomorrow... or the Gore in Jan 01 n/t

[Longgrain]

24. We should all

have this experience...:(

[cdsilv]

8. True weightlessness....

... being in 'outer space'. I'd probably puke, but to exceed one of our species' "natural boundaries", I think would be a novel experience.

Life after death - of course, how could i tell you about it? The lowercase i is intentional, as I expect that after death we may become "lower case i's".

Giving away my daughters at their weddings - hasn't happened yet, but I'm looking forward to it - if I can accept their future husbands.

We'll see what happens.

Hope this is a good start.

9. Let's just say I made a couple stupid choices in college

There were several times I should have just stopped thinking and started doing...

Looking back, I was an idiot.


There really ought to be a Woman to Geek translation guide.....

[Longgrain]

26. Me too...

Dropping out of college was the worst...

[maveric]

10. A "real" loving marraige.

As it turned out it was 18 years of lies for convienience and procreation only.

[Kire]

11. I was going to say something similar.

Like a long-term relationship that works.

I've never been in one longer than 2 months, and that was half a lifetime ago.

[SarahB]

15. Well...

To actually be with a man who understands and complements the many facets of myself- physical, emotional, etc., etc., etc.- simply safety in that lack of pretense. I don't know when or if something like that will ever be a part of my life because I just get these fleeting glimpses. It would be nice. Hope springs eternal I guess. :)

Someday, I'd like to travel the world. That I feel more sure of that as something I'll do since the ability to do something like that rests in my hands alone.

edit: I noticed some lousy grammar.

[Longgrain]

18. Sigh...

The last woman I was with...wasn't really interested in starting a long term relationship...

Funny because we had sooo much in common, and I really wanted a relationship with her...

Oh well...

Hi Sarah...:hi:

[RagingInMiami]

16. Shakira

[JohnKleeb]

17. *cough* private

[Longgrain]

19. How about a DU Irish Group?

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

21. not that

but yes!

[RagingInMiami]

23. Kleeb, what the hell you're doing here?

I thought you'd be out protesting by now.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. I wish I could have told my father goodbye...

I wish that in that last moment before he died, I could have wished him well on his journey.

[Thor_MN]

29. The wisest teacher I ever had told a story about his father's death

Standing in the hallway at the hospital, his brother told him that he was going to tell their dad that he loved him, no matter what it took. Mr. B told his brother that he wasn't even going to try.

I don't know why, but for some reason that story has stuck with me. I'm not sure why some people place such value on mere words. How could saying three little words outweigh a lifetime of deeds? Either it's obvious or it's not true. Three words can't change one into the other.

[Floogeldy]

22. The question is too general

[Kire]

25. so, do you wish you could get a thread that was more specific?

n/t

[Floogeldy]

27. No

I don't wish for a more specific thread.

I'm just saying that this one is too general.

[Endangered Specie]

28. I, Al Gore, do solemnly swear...

:)

[Longgrain]

30. Excellent...

On today the begging of President Gore's second term in office...
