What's something you've always wanted to do, but haven't yet?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

Doesn't have to be anything major, for example, mine is skydive.

I had a list when I was a teenager of some stuff I wanted to try in my lifetime. So far I've hit most of them.

For some reason I've yet to try skydiving. I'm going to have to get busy on that one. :D

Then I'm going to start a new list, one has to have some silly goals in life as well as the major ones.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. It involves

Johnny Depp and a vat of liquid chocolate :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

2. I may add something like that to my next list

I was a pretty tame teenager. :P

[flamingyouth]

3. Visit Australia and New Zealand.

:)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. Scotland and Ireland are planned for my next list.

I see I'm going to have to save some cash to complete that list. :)

[GOPisEvil]

4. Tell you what, I'll fly the plane, you jump out of it.

Learning to fly is my big thing.

Either that, or going to a driving school to learn how to really drive a car.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. Hey!

Are you telling me to take a flying leap. :P

Seriously, why not go take some classes? What's stopping you? Get out there and live, damnit!

[GOPisEvil]

13. The first lesson is cheap.

It's all the other lessons that get costly. Learning to fly is not an inexpensive proposition. :(

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. I know

I have a friend that just bought a plane and THEN decided to learn to fly... He's a little off beat. LOL!

He said the classes are kind of expensive, too.

[GOPisEvil]

29. Aiyee! Bought the plane first?

Well, that kind of gets you off your butt to learn to fly, I will admit. :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. He's a nut

He had one of those insane huge boats prior to that. He blew the engine up in it more time than I can count. After fixing it the last time he sold the boat and bought the plane. Somehow that really scares me. :scared:

[GOPisEvil]

34. Eeep.

I'll make sure to stay out of the vicinity when he's flying. :scared:

12. This one took longer than I expected to show up!

I've never knew a guy who didn't have that desire. :)

[VelmaD]

21. Two guys at one time could be fun too

:evilgrin:

I even know which two guys I want. And I have a third as a backup in case someone pulls a muscle or something.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

33. That's what I call equality!

:thumbsup:

[VelmaD]

67. Hey...it's simple anatomy...

boy-girl-boy is much easier to accomplish and make sure everyone has fun.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

82. True!

You have a good point there. :D

[plcdude]

48. why am I not

surprised?

[VelmaD]

66. Would you like to be...

my utility infielder? It's important to have a deep bench. ;)

[liss681]

156. that is so unoriginal!

:eyes:

[Lannes]

6. Play some bball at Madison Square Garden

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Look into it!

That may well be a doable thing. :hi:

[XNASA]

8. Dunk.

Dunk a basketball into a regulation height hoop. And I never will.

:cry:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. Want me to loan you some stilts?

I know how you feel, at 5'2" I'll never make that happen either... :(

[XNASA]

35. At 5'9" I was once able to touch the rim.

But never able to dunk.

I had a hell of a jumper from the top of the key though.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

41. Well you got alot closer than I did, then!

I used to look longingly at the rim and know it would never happen. x(

[Shell Beau]

9. I would love to see Sperm and Blue whales in there

natural being.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. Now that's a goal!

That's something I could really get into myself! Make it happen, you only have one life!

[Shell Beau]

28. You are right! I am going to do it one day soon I hope.

[XemaSab]

24. I've done that

www.shearwaterjourneys.com

[Shell Beau]

30. Awesome!

What did you think of it?

[XemaSab]

38. Off the hook

the last time I went out we were out there, floating in the middle of the ocean, minding our own business, and a humpback just BUSTED straight out of the water in front of us!

I've seen blues too, but no sperms.

[Shell Beau]

46. Wow! I am so in awe of whales.

I would love to witness any of them really. I just said those because of their massive sizes.

[XemaSab]

56. They're really cool

I'm more into birds, but marine mammals are alright...

[Shell Beau]

59. What kind of birds? All kinds?

I love watching the Woodpeckers outside my house. The guy across the street from me has a copper thing on his chimney and they love to peck the mess out of it. It is so loud, I don't know how they stand it.

[XemaSab]

70. Albatrosses

Shearwaters, Storm Petrels, Murres, Sabine's Gulls, Jaegers, and other goodness.

[edbermac]

11. Go into orbit...

But that may be possible if I can get a few hundred thousand together...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. Wait until prices go down

You know how it is when they just start a new thing.. Remember the first DVD players cost a fortune. LOL!

[sleipnir]

16. Drive from California to Alaska.

But, until they come out with a cheaper hybrid SUV-type, I doubt I'll be doing it. It would just seem absolutely wasteful to blow all that gas on a normal engine. But if I could get 50-60 MPG in an SUV-type, I'd do it!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. I bet we will be seeing things like that in the near future

If you don't want to wait why not look into finding someone else who would like to make the journey. It wouldn't be as wasteful if you took another person along who was fulfilling their dream, too. :hi:

[maveric]

19. Raft or kayak on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.

I've always wanted to do that.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. That is VERY doable!

Tours leave daily! Get one of those cheap vegas trips and then head over there.

[maveric]

49. I can drive there in 5-6 hours. From San Diego.

Its just a matter of finding the time and having my bad back in semi- fit condition.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

63. Ugh

I hear you on the back thing... My advice would be get plenty of the right kind of exercise leading up to your trip. Consider it training. As for the time, well, you'll have to work that one out on your own. :)

[Richardo]

23. Go to the Great Rift Valley in Africa,

Visit our ancestors. Like our great great great...great great great grandmother Lucy.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. That's fascinating

I became obsessed with Lucy when I was around 16. That was during my great quest for knowledge phase.

[CitrusLib]

25. Go hiking in New Zealand.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. Check with flamingyouth. she may want to go with you

Hey, you two may even get a discount if you travel together!

[warrens]

26. The Giggling Murderer, a locked room, a baseball bat

Sigh.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

39. Hmmm

OK, you I won't encourage. :P

[Trigger Hippie]

36. Visit every single

country on the planet. I don't think I'm gonna be doing that anytime soon though.

:)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

43. Might I suggest

Starting off with a handful and then working your way up? :P

[Trigger Hippie]

47. I better get going then.

See y'all in a few years...

:)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

64. LOL!

I expect postcards!

[Kathleen04]

108. That sounds awesome..

I'd love to do something like that, but I'd really like to focus on Europe, which actually seems semi-feasible. :)

[Trigger Hippie]

176. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be able to actually

visit every single country. It's just the OCD in me coming out.

:P

[barb162]

40. That's funny, a skydive for me too and then the day it was

supposed to happen, it was called off for weather. Never bothered trying to do it again. I wanted to do a Nile River cruise for a long time but I will never do it re 9/11.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. Do you still want to try it?

That would be my luck, finally get it all set up and it would be too windy or raining.

[barb162]

55. No, I waited that day for a few hours for the weather to clear

I ahve no desire for I anymore, especially when I see these stories about skydivers dying. I know it is extremely rare for something to go wrong, but I think I am in a stage of my life where I am not going to take any extra chances

[Lone_Star_Dem]

68. Yep

These things are seasonal, or so I've been told. I hit most of my list before I was 30, so I think there's some truth to that. I've noticed all the things I now lean toward doing are very different types of experiences than when I was a kid.

[barb162]

77. same here, except travel is still up there

lots of places I would still like to see (Barcelona, Prague, Norway, St. Petersburg, Moscow and the Nile)

[LastKnight]

42. travel Europe, northern africa, and the Mediterranean areas.

stopping at every historical site and city i could imagine. retracing everything from the footsteps of Cesar to the Allied troops on their push to berlin, and everything in between. and thats just in europe. jeez...

visit the ancient greek ruins, apocrypha (sp?) and all.

walk the paths of Israel that jesus had.

id honestly love to just travel all over that area, take about a decade out of my life and do nothing but travel through history. theres always retirement, i guess... but i better plan well for it, financially, that is.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

50. If I were to suddenly become wealthy

That's exactly what I would love to spend the rest of my time doing. I've no desire for the cars or houses, just send me off on endless adventures and I would be in heaven.

[LastKnight]

60. exactly.

cars break down, other people buy them. ect ect ect.

what does one need a house for but shelter, give me something that is sufficient... not more...

put me in the footsteps of the greats, and i will be happy. maybe its just my intense fascination with history, or maybe im just a geek. but that would be a dream come true for me. just to travel historic sites until i can say ive seen them all (which would never happen).

[Lone_Star_Dem]

71. Experiences like that can never be taken away from you

Unlike things which come and go. If you're a geek then I am too. :)

52. So simple

And yet so difficult. Have fun trying. :hi:

[arwalden]

51. Kiss Matcom.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

57. I've heard it said he's quite kissable....

Wait, I think that was Mrs. Matcom who said that. :crazy:

[Deja Q]

53. 1, Initiate a conversation AND 2 know what to say AND 3 sound confident.:

3 depends on 1.

1 depends on 2.

2 depends on 3.

As I know how to talk about people's likes and dislikes as much as I enjoy eating skunk souffle, I know I've got problems in this area... :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

58. Sounds to me like your working on it!

You do great on here, if that's matters. :)

[trackfan]

54. Had a season box at the racetrack

[Lone_Star_Dem]

62. That's something you can get

Or you can always find someone else that's willing to share!

[GalleryGod]

61. A Week at Wimbeldon.

But..:bounce: we're getting closer.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

72. I'll bounce with you!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[plcdude]

65. sail the South Pacific

in my own 51' sailing boat http://www.hartley-boats.com/dateline.html

[Lone_Star_Dem]

73. That's a sweet little cruiser

Better start building it, if you haven't already.

[livetohike]

69. Canoe the Suwannee River from start to end

Travel all of Australia, hike the entire length of the Pacific Crest trail, and hike every one of these too:

http://www.aldhawest.org/trails/ot_def.asp

[Lone_Star_Dem]

74. You do live to hike!

I wish you the best of luck and very healthy feet! :)

[bicentennial_baby]

75. The very thing I'm about to do

21 days in Paris

[Lone_Star_Dem]

78. Color me green with envy

I hope you have a wonderful trip! :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

83. Thank You!

I won a scholarship to go, so it's double-good! :hi:

[Parche]

76. REAL FLIGHT SIMULATOR

I would give my middle one to go into a real 757 flight simulator
and fly it around, that would be hot.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

79. That would be fun.

Well, if I had any idea what I was doing it would.

[yellowdogintexas]

170. I think you can play around with them at the American Airlines

museum near DFW airport. I think.

[Doctor_J]

80. Have sex with Diane Lane for a week

If I wasn't so old, average-looking, and poor, I'd have higher hopes.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

81. Hey, she's a lovely lady

Good choice! :thumbsup:

[Democracy White]

84. Have intercourse. Seriously!!!

Haven't found a girl yet though.

I'm fuckin' 25 does that make me a loser?

Dee

[Lone_Star_Dem]

86. Nope, you're doing fine.

Trust me, it WILL happen. Just when you least expect it to usally. :)

[Democracy White]

92. I know but I can be such a prude

and then there are times, especially before my monthlies where I am just obsessed with sex. I wonder if human females go into 'heat' like cats do?

Just curious.

Dee

[Lone_Star_Dem]

94. Nothing unusual going on there

Lots of women experience that. I think it has to do with the hormone boost. That's a sure fire way for me to know when my cycle is coming.

Hang in there, the right girl will come along and light-your-fire soon enough. :)

[Democracy White]

122. Oh I hope so

but at the same time I am scared to death to get into a relationship because I am afraid of being hurt, like finding out my girl is cheating on me or even worse that she is abusive. I have a weak emotional stamina and I don't handle psychodrama very well.

Dee

[Lone_Star_Dem]

127. Here's some advice from Momma Lone Star

We all get hurt sometimes in the game of love. It sucks, I'll be the first one to admit that. The only thing worse is not giving yourself the chance to experience the good feelings love offers for fear of that risk. It's a gamble that at some point you're going to have to allow yourself to take.

The choice is yours, choose to live your life to the fullest. :hug:

[Rich Hunt]

85. sue someone

I'd like to sue someone who has seriously messed with my life, and WIN.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

87. Do you have anyone in mind?

Since you can pretty much sue anyone for anything that's easily covered. However, the winning part will take some effort. If you've been screwed over and are seeking justice, I wish you the best!

[tibbir]

88. Raft trip on Colorado river

I want to go through lots of rapids, which will scare me to death.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

89. Well, it's your lucky day!

I live on the Colorado River! Come on down and I'll even blow up a raft for you! Wait, you said you wanted lots of rapids.... Hmmm, the river is sort of dammed up into a lake where I am. Tell you what, I'll cut in front of you a bunch on a jetski and make lots of wakes, how's that sound? No? Well, if you're interested in the Grand Canyon, you can see about hooking up with maveric on his great adventure.

You two have fun. :hi:

[Wapsie B]

90. Experience love.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

95. Open your heart and it will happen

This is another one of those things we can't rush. It takes time and a bit of luck to find the right person. They are out there and you will find them, just be patient. :)

[Melynn]

91. Seen the Pacific Ocean

I been having dreams about it lately. Some day I will go west.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

96. It's beautiful!

That you're having dreams of it is quite interesting. I wonder what fate has in store for you when you do visit?

98. Always a fun one!

Checked that one off my first list years ago. :blush:

Part of the thrill is the fact that you COULD get caught, not that anyone wants to. ;)

[no name no slogan]

102. woohoo!

The closest I came to this was having sex with my ex-wife in the bathroom of a hotel room we were sharing with my mother. :P

[Lone_Star_Dem]

104. That's a pretty good one, actually.

:thumbsup:

[no name no slogan]

106. It was in a London hotel with a very small bathroom

yes, standing up, in front of the mirror, both of us facing it--

uh oh, TMI :blush:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

111. Don't get my thread locked!

:spank: ;)

[no name no slogan]

137. OOOPS! It's in the vault[x] (nt)

[Initech]

97. Stay at every single hotel on the Vegas strip

I've hit quite a few of them so far. I've stayed at:

The Rio
Excalibur
Luxor
New York New York
MGM
Sahara
Flamingo Hilton
Hard Rock Hotel
Mirage
Monte Carlo

[Lone_Star_Dem]

99. That's what I like to see

A person making their dreams come true!

What did you think of the Excalibur? I didn't really like it when I was there, but they did have a convention at the time and things were kind of hectic.

[Initech]

100. Excalibur is nice

The rooms are a little cramped but I think it's because they want you to spend more time in the casino.

Also, having a 3 1/2 - 4 hour drive from my house to Vegas helps a lot!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

101. I didn't spend very much time in my room

So that part didn't bother me. Room service was painfully slow and they kept running out of food due to the high demand, I think. The place was really overbooked when I was there.

I might give 'em another shot and just check and make sure they don't have any conventions booked at the same time. :)

[Initech]

103. Yeah, I never like going to Vegas during conventions

Talk about not having room to breathe...

[liss681]

159. I stayed at the Excalibur during a rodeo convention....

cowboys with tight jeans... YUM!!!

[Corey_Baker08]

105. I Have Always Wanted to go to Washington,DC

[Lone_Star_Dem]

109. Let me help you attain your dream

Here's some links to get you started on your way

Official Tourism Site of Washington DC

Expedia Travel ~ Washington DC
http://www.expedia.com/daily/home/default.asp?rfrr=-1065

Personally, if I were you, I'd wait for the Rove hearings. You won't find them on any tourism site, but they're sure to be a crowd pleaser. I expect Democrat's having tailgate parties as far as the eye can see. :)

[China_cat]

107. See the northern lights

Go on a whale watch. Spend New Year's Eve in Vienna.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

110. As for # 2 on your list

You may want to check in with Shell Beau, but you guys had better not go without inviting me!

[whodiedandmadeUSgod]

112. I would like to attend a concert at the amphitheater

in Red Rocks of Colorado.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

115. I suggest you avoid the up coming Motley Crue show...

Here's the schedule pick a show and go!

You can go by bus, you can go by train but whodiedandmadeUSgod would you please go now!

http://www.tickco.com/venue_schedules/red_rock_amphitheater.htm

[whodiedandmadeUSgod]

118. I think I'll hang out here

n/t

[sniffa]

113. have a post deLeted

anybody wanna join me for a wiLd orgy party?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

116. And you've never attained this goal in the past....

Hmmmm? The question was, what's something you've always wanted to do, but haven't yet?

:spank: :D

[southlandshari]

172. Weak, weak, weak.

You can do better than that, sniffa.

But please don't, ok? That one's just fine.

:rofl:

[u4ic]

114. To spend Christmas in Vienna

[Lone_Star_Dem]

117. Vienna, nice choice!

Be sure and drop me a Christmas card while you're there. :)

[u4ic]

123. Will Fed Ex that

along with some Sachertorte :9

[Blue Belle]

119. Surf.

I've always wanted to learn to surf, but haven't done it yet (the sad thing is, I live on the coast). I'm going to try to go surfing at least once this summer.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

120. It's a blast

You're going to wind up getting hooked. I used to go every chance I had before I moved to Texas.

[Blue Belle]

128. They do long board surfing here...

I live on the Oregon coast, and the waves aren't as nice as California's (That's what they say... what the hell do I know? I've never surfed). I just went running this evening and all of the surfers looked like they were having a blast. I'm going to look into renting some equipment and see if I can get a lesson.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

134. A word of advice

Try and get the lesson from someone you find cute. That way if you do find out you don't like surfing (Forbid the thought!) you can still at least enjoy looking at them while they're teaching you. ;)

[Blue Belle]

177. That is a tough task around here.

I keep hoping to find someone cute around here... now my standards have been set at finding someone with all of their teeth, and not still living with their parents. (Sigh) :eyes:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

181. LOL!

You got me with that one! :spray:

[Darth_Kitten]

121. travel outside my country....

:)

that's something I could never do, sky dive. :scared: nope!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

124. Well come on down!

We're not all bad down here, you know? I mean Americans, I do not recommend coming to Texas this time of year if you're from Canada. You are going to melt like Frosty the Snowman, and I'm not kidding.

Head on down and do the tourist thing, if you let DU know you're heading our way I bet you can even work out a few planned events. Then you can have your first out of country experience under your belt. It's all down hill from there. :hi:

[Darth_Kitten]

125. are you kidding? it's baking up here!!!

very hot and humid right now. :)

Out of country experience? Heh heh...I like that!! :)

:hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

131. I don't know.. It was 105 today in the shade!

This kind of heat is insane even for here... The only time I'm going outside is when I'm in the pool and even then only when it's in the shade. You can get a heatstroke walking to your mailbox in this kind of weather. LOL!

[shayes51]

126. Go to the Democratic National Convention

[Lone_Star_Dem]

129. So, should I take that as an RSVP for the next one?

You have plenty of time to get your affairs in order so you can attend. :)

[UrbScotty]

168. Good for you!

I hope you do! :-)

[ForrestGump]

130. Too many things. I've done a lot, but I've got a lot left to do. I'm just

getting started.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

132. As am I

I enjoy how my desires have changed over time. It makes achieving my goals all the sweeter.

[MrScorpio]

133. Take a Caribbean Cruise

We're gonna go do that some day

[Lone_Star_Dem]

136. They are great fun!

Pick a cruise that has ports you've always wanted to visit. The experience of being on the ship is a blast, it's like a mini floating city. Then when you go off ship to do the tourist thing make sure you get your butt back to the ship with plenty of time to spare... We lost a person at one port and they had to fly to the next to catch up. The ship WILL sail without you. LOL!

[southlandshari]

135. Meet Lone_Star_Dem in person.

What a cool DUer that one is!

:pals:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

138. LOL!

I hear she's a big meanie in person AND she's scared of possums! :P

[LynzM]

139. Through hike the Appalachian Trail

Live in Europe, for real (not just school).

Said things out loud that I shouldn't, in places and at times I shouldn't. (This is an impulse I have, and I'm GLAD I haven't done it!)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

141. You mean all 2000+ miles of the Appalacian Trail?

Wow! I'm impressed! Have you met livetohike yet? If not let me know and I'll cyber-introduce you two, you have a lot in common. :)

[LynzM]

175. 2,160, in fact!!

I wanted to do it at some point after graduation and before having kids. Unfortunately, that didn't quite work out, but hopefully I can fit it in at some point in the future!

I haven't 'met' LiveToHike, though I've seen him/her around!

[ofrfxsk]

140. Go to Australia & New Zealand

I've always wanted to since I was a kid.
I will definitely go and post pictures if one of you forces $15,000 dollars on me. :P

[Lone_Star_Dem]

142. If we get more takers I may be able to put together a package deal

So far we have flamingyouth in for both Australia and New Zealand with you and CitrusLib is game for New Zealand. Package deals are the way to go if you can find a group you enjoy traveling with. What better group could anyone ask for than a bunch of DU'rs. :D

[AlienGirl]

143. There are some places in the world I really want to see

But all of them are expensive plane-rides away, and I doubt I ever will.

Tucker

[Lone_Star_Dem]

145. No! Don't give up!

There are ways to offset the expense. I've been to and sent my daughter to many different countries and I am not a wealthy person. I catch tour groups that are trying to fill spaces. I know a guy in London who does this sort of thing for a living and he turned me onto the idea. If they only have 18 people and it takes 20 to get a discount rate they will be willing to let people add on. Here's an example. Last summer there was a great deal where I was able to send my daughter to London, Italy, and Greece for around $1300! This was a two week trip. That included everything. Yes, I had to pay more out of pocket for all the other stuff she wanted, but the point is you can do it cheap if you just look around.

[AlienGirl]

152. $1300 is way, WAY out of my league

And the cheapest I could get to my destinations is usually around that much--not including things like food and lodging. :shrug: I've got more than $40K in student loans, plus another couple grand in medical debt, so even if I get a good job in the next few years, I doubt I'll ever have that kind of money for things like travel.

Someday, maybe I'll win the lottery, and then I'll get to go.

157. If it makes you feel any better I've been exactly where you are now

I know how overwhelming it seems. I hope you get out of debt before I did and get a chance to do things with your life sooner. :hug:

144. Week long solo trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness.

That'd be a highlight, for sure.
Would also love to visit a couple other continents; have been lucky enough to see some of Europe but would love to travel more extensively.
And get better at Spanish.
And learn French.
And keep working on my Greek.
And buy a set of the OED....oh man.
And maybe learn to paint.
And MAYBE get my tits lifted. Maybe.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

148. Ahh, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness...

A paddle dipping into the water…
The splash of a beaver tail…
The echoing call of a loon…
A northern sun setting on a glassy lake…
Tall pines whispering in the wind…

No, I did not write that, it's off their website. :P

That does sound like a slice of heaven I have to give you that.

As far as the other continents go, how do you feel about Australia and New Zealand? We've got some people here who I'm thinking about hooking up on a group tour there. :)

The languages, well, that makes my heart leap for joy. There is no goal as worthy as expanding your knowledge. :thumbsup:

On the boob lift.. Don't do it! My friend did and and the pain was horrible for her. At least talk to someone who has before you do, her case may have been an exception. :) My thoughts are if they don't like the way I come packaged, too bad for them!

[grannylib]

153. The BWCAW is heaven; love it love it love it. Would LOVE Aus or NZ

but it'd be ages before I could realistically think of it, but DO share photos!!
Language just a passion...always has been. It's like a little bit of magic.
And the boobs, yeah, I dunno...I don't want implants (unless it can be my own lard transplanted from a less-desireable location) but I really would like to rearrange that which has packed up and slid south...
Or maybe I'll just invent a COMFORTABLE supportive push-up bra that does not give one a uniboob.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

160. You crack me up!

The uniboob thing! So true and too funny!

Language is a passion of mine, also. I currently speak Spanish, German and am working on refreshing my Italian. Some day I will live in Italy so it I need to polish my skills. :)

146. Find the man of my dreams and travel the world with him

Does anyone know any highly intelligent, witty, widely-knowledgeable, kindly, ethical, monogamous, fiftyish men who aren't obsessed with pro sports, cars, and staying within their comfort zone?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

150. No, but if you find two let me know, OK?

I say find the man during your travels, rather than wait until you find one to begin. Life is fleeting and for all you know the man of your dreams could be in Italy right now longing for a woman like you!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

155. Yes, I think I'm more likely to find him in Europe than in the U.S.

But I have to figure out how to make a European trip affordable.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

162. Price can be daunting

At risk of sounding like a broken record here, look into a group package. It gets you the best rates on airfare and accommodations. Once you are there it's up to you if you do the tours with the group or take off solo.

Good luck! :)

[yellowdogintexas]

147. live in England for at least 3 months

boob reduction
snorkel the Great Barrier Reef.
go to Cuba ASAP after we can finally legally travel there before it gets too Americanized.
Mediterranean cruise
one of those Windjammer type cruises on the big sailing yachts

this is the really BIG ONE:

have a Christmas with both my sisters, their husbands, and all our kids together at one time. Not likely to happen but it would be awesome.
Maybe after my middle sister moves from Connecticut to No Carolina, we could all meet in Kentucky for Christmas. My sisters and I have not all been together for Christmas since 1973, or whatever year my middle sister moved to Connecticut.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

151. Oh! Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef!

That is a good one! I would love to do that myself. :)

The last one is the one you really need to aim for. Family is so very important. I wish you the very best of luck in making your dream come true. :hug:

[yellowdogintexas]

171. I hope we can do that one day. We do manage to get together,

just not at Christmas. We have joked that we need to have a Christmas in July or something sometime.

We have snorkeled the reef @ Cozumel and the reefs off the Fla Keys; maybe someday we will get to Australia.

Meanwhile this year's vacation is Wyoming.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

149. Learn to play the piano.

Buy a decent cello and relearn it (it's been about 28 years since I played it).

Buy a really excellent telescope and learn to find and view all the planets.

RELAX.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

154. You've hit one that no one else has mentioned and it's so important, too!

Relax! Most of us need to strive for more of that in our lives. Good choice! :thumbsup:

Call around and see what you can find out about some piano lessons, I highly recommend learning to play. It's a great way to relax and a very diverse instrument, IMO. As for the cello... I love a well played cello. When you get back into that record yourself and send me a CD. That is one of the most beautiful sounds on earth. :)

[MrSlayer]

158. Visit Hawaii.

I keep getting caught up in the Disney/Universal vacation. I'm addicted and I never get to Hawaii.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

164. I've never been to Hawaii either

The sad thing is I promised my grandmother I'd go someday. She always wanted to go and never got to. Trip there are pretty affordable now, I guess that's something we both should look into.

[liss681]

161. Play drums in a really cool punk band...

:headbang:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

165. How do you get to Carnage Hall?

Practice, practice, practice.

I wish you the very best of luck!




Edited due to cat walked on keyboard... ugh!

[lyberyl_prygryssyve]

163. A foursome

Any volunteers? :evilgrin:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

166. You just had to out do the threesome, didn't you?

LOL! Shame on you, and you may want to check with the posters above they may be willing to add one more to the experience.

[lyberyl_prygryssyve]

169. Threesome? Been there. Done that.

And I don't know about the people in the previous posts. They sounded like guys and straight women.

[UrbScotty]

167. In a few years, I think I'll run for public office.

I am stil a little young. Maybe I'll try for a position as a precinct delegate first.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

178. Excellent idea!

Your goal is my favorite so far!

[Redneck Socialist]

173. Climb above 20,000 feet n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

179. That's cool

We have quite a few DUers who are in great shape!

[Ariana Celeste]

174. Ride in a helicopter.

looks pretty fun.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

180. That was one of the things I had on my first list

It is fun! Go for it, you'll enjoy it. :)

[TexasLady]

182. be a StormChaser

I get to do that in a very limited way here in TX, but I would rather chase them all the time, and actually go where they form.

ah well, one day maybe.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

183. Have you ever seen this website?

I love it, I hope you enjoy it, too. :) :hi:

http://www.stormchaser.com/

[TexasLady]

185. no i havent, thank you!!

got it bookmarked. thanks!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

186. You're welcome

From one storm addict to another. :hi: :pals:

[lovelaureng]

184. I would like to

earn enough money in my own business to support my family. This way my wife could stop working for once in her life and relax some and get back to enjoying it again. She is a very dedicated and hard working individual. I love her dearly with all that I am and one day soon I will achieve this goal. :hug:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

187. I'm wishing you the very best of luck!

Your wife is one lucky lady. :)

And, welcome to DU! :hi:

[lovelaureng]

188. Thanks for that reply!
