sunshinemiss -> Bucket List... (6/22/2011 6:46:41 AM)

What are the top ten things on your bucket list?

http://www.wimp.com/walksamerica/
That has always been on mine, but I don't think it's going to happen.


Here's ten of mine (that I haven't accomplished/completed):
1. Write a book.
2. Wear lipstick every day.
3. See the Northern (or Southern) lights.
4. Run a marathon.
5. Learn to juggle.
6. Get 100 visas in my passport.
7. Go on a silent retreat.
8. Sail through the Panama Canal.
9. Get married.
10. Do one thing every day that scares me.

I love being able to cross things off my list.

How about you? Do you have a list? Where do you keep it? I keep mine on line at a website: 43things.com because you can send yourself encouraging notes, give kudos to others, get support, you can write notes, etc.

best,
sunshine

LillyBoPeep -> RE: Bucket List... (6/22/2011 9:22:06 AM)

oh man, sailing -- that's one, too.
when i lived on the east coast, i'd intended to sign up for a month of instruction learning all about sailing tallships; alas, we moved away before i got to do it.

GT; let's go get your motorcycle back!!



needlesandpins -> RE: Bucket List... (6/22/2011 9:54:30 AM)

Greedy, if you were here i'd teach you to ride well enough to compete at any level and win......unless it's cattle orientated as i've only herded cattle in the fields. but show horses, dressage, showjumping and such then yep. i used to breed and produce arabians at top level. i've also produced alot of other breeds for the ring professionally too.

my top......erm i'm not sure i'll have ten, but let's see;

1, finish my two books.....and complete the research which involves traveling for one of them.
2, train with a spanish riding school instructor. i've trained with two instructors who have done that themselves.
3, own an andalusian stallion.
4, learn to tango. i have done courses in ballroom and salsa but didn't do the tango.
5, pass my driving test.
6, breed and produce my own horse to open ridden level. my old stallion was my horse of the year horse but an accident meant he couldn't go. sadly while my youngsters were champions in-hand with me they all had to be sold before i could get them in the ridden ring.
7, have 500 acres with my own personal hermit.
8, travel outside of England.
9,
10,

i'll have to think on a bit more for the other two.

2. Skydive. Will probably never happen.
3. Make $100,000 when I sell my house someday. More if the market goes high enough.

5. Swim with dolphins. Not naked, wouldn't want to scare them.
6. Become a Certified Massage Therapist. I'm real close to that one :)
7. See Stonehenge
8. Have a houseboat
9. Learn American Sign Language

LaTigresse -> RE: Bucket List... (6/22/2011 12:11:46 PM)

4. Travel to the places I dream of experiencing.
5. Finish all of my creative projects!

8.
9.
10.

I will have to get back to you on the last 3



SorceressJ -> RE: Bucket List... (6/22/2011 12:23:28 PM)

Amen, what a Good Idea for a nice thread!
Ok, let's see..

1. Write and be published. Doesn't have to make me stinkingly rich like J.K. Rowling or anything, but just for it's own sake.
2. Lose 60 lbs., get in shape, and stay that way.
3. Go back to California for a visit, including several stops in places I grew up, one of which must be Santa Cruz where we used to go every summer when I was little. Take my Husband with me, because he's never been off the East Coast.
4. Find and reconnect with my father, whom I have not seen in 17 years or talked to in 11. Nice enough guy, just a stranger to me.
5. Purchase property in or near the Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area of NC. Live there.
6. Go to Dragon-Con.
7. Build a sweat lodge.
8. Own and operate a Hot Topic outlet. Will take Spencer's as an acceptable alternative.
9. Learn to forgive everyone who's ever done me wrong.
10. Visit Claiborne Farm in Kentucky, where lies the grave of my beautiful dream horse, Secretariat (http://www.secretariat.com/secretariat-history/), whom I have loved and cherished in my heart since I was six years old and saw him set records in the Triple Crown that still hold almost 40 years later, and whom I will ride in the fields outside Valhalla when my bucket list is filled and done.

susie -> RE: Bucket List... (6/22/2011 1:52:50 PM)

1. Have a whole 12 months of not visiting hospitals or doctors.
2. Outlive my parents (unlikely but I can hope)
3. Get married.
4. Buy an RV and travel around the US. Lots of places to go back to and many places to visit.
5. Visit Singapore again.
6. Buy a house with an annex for Mum & Dad
7. Buy a river boat and cruise round the UK canal / river network.
8. Read all the books I have that I have not managed to get to yet.

When and if 3 happens I will know that I have failed on 1 and 2



Hillwilliam -> RE: Bucket List... (6/22/2011 1:55:51 PM)

I'm very disappointed in these lists, Not ONE of them has identical twin redheads and unspeakable perversions mentioned anywhere. WTF kind of kinksters are you people?
