This is really one of my favorite things to share. I was adding to my bucket list and I though it would make a good topic.
I'll kick it off:
- Fly a plane
- Ride a motorcycle
- Get a tattoo
- Truly love and respect someone
- Protest
- Pass out
- Donate $10,000 to charity
- Help someone with their bucket list.
So who's next?
Places to see before I die.

dude i thought everyone knew the secret to immortality is to be published they may not always remember who you were but your name will never vanish (unless someone burns all your books then your just up the creek without a paddle)

Check around, there are probably some Rennies who know that secret. ;) 8)

Ok, be honest, how many out there felt guilty, even for a moment....?

Next time your at BARF you can try to give the espresso to Aidan I give you full permission. I think he will just spit it out to tell the truth. With the puppy can you just be sure to make a cute one and one that gets big? No small dogs allowed in my house!
I want to be Layla.
Tomorrow I'll be checking off an item from my list when I audition for a play. Wish me luck! If I do well i can check off another one (be in a play).
GOOD LUCK!
Thank you lady Raven! The director asked me why I hadnt auditioned for anything earlier and i feel like i have a good chance of getting in! Finally things are coming off that list! ;D
This is just ONE of the things on my list...but (weather permitting) I plan on going skydiving for the first time on my 40th birthday....not to bad eh? Well.....my 40th is on a Friday the 13th...and in 2012 (the year the world is supposed to end). I'm thinking it's a trifecta!!! I am going to do a tandem jump...I'm not COMPLETELY nuts!!!! I figure either way it works out is good...either I survive and I'm celebrating with cocktails later or I don't survive and I become an urban legend!!! ;D
buy a small farm and go self-sufficient even to the point of plowing and harvesting with horses. Be nice if the nearest nieghbor was around 20 miles away.
VERY EASY- start a museum- and I am already doing it, but I could use some help! Please check out my link and vote- http://www.refresheverything.com/gryffinshyre Becky- I saw that you wanted to donate 10 grand to charity :) that was one of the things that I wanted to do for my managers. Instead of giving them a bonus at Christmas (depending on our revenues) I wanted to give them $10,000 to donate to the charity of their choice. I got a charity gift card one year and I loved it. I don't have much, but I don't need much either. And I definitely don't need another coffee cup or nic knac... If I remember correctly I gave my $25 to provide mosquito netting to I think it was 100 people in a tribe in Africa... a little goes a long way there. My very favorite charity is Heifers International, but that Charity wasn't on the website. That is why I want my managers to be able to choose freely. Or they can break it up and give it to many charities. Hope you vote for my idea ;)
Voted and posted on my facebook, good luck! ;D
Thanks and good luck with the duck :) I didn't realize she had a baseball ;) and I definitely wouldn't get a goose...they are only for protection :)
Buy a submarine (only $35M).
Return to ancestral homeland NE of Glasgow Scotland (I'm 4th in line for Chieftainship of clan Mackinlay following matriarchal lineage).
Build my house using an old Roman design with few outside windows and looking inward to a central garden/pool. Did I mention the gun emplacements on the outside border?
Design a warp drive and sell for a percentage of all future freight tonnage.
Hmmm, maybe the first should be to win the Texas Lottery.
Lets' say I wanna do this loooong before I die, like this year or next -
Golf with a Llama as me caddy! There are 2 courses here in North Carolina that have such a thing. At Sherwood Forest GC, the Llama will actually stomp the ground when they agree with your club selection! :D
Add geese in the fairway - an' I be in pirate golfs heaven I tells ya! 8)
My goal is to become a published author. Got to finish my story first though..
I want to see Ireland, Scotland, and England.
I want to get a tattoo. Well, 3.
Get my castle house built
Buy an RV and visit the faires across the country (that is actually our retirement plan. Seriously)
Make my patchwork crochet blanket
