A bucket list is a list you create before you "kick the bucket","take a dirt nap",or "meet your maker".
The things you want to do before you die.
This is a wish list ,so money is no object :p
So do tell friends,what is on your bucket list ?

I want to hit a complete list of the Seven Wonders.
So far, the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World are the closest...
I've seen the Sears Tower, The Great Wall, Stonehenge, Grand Canyon, Tower of Pisa.
Also, travel to Africa and Antarctica - then I'll have visited all of the continents.
Course, that's just the travel bucket list! :)

So, so many things.
Skydive
Travel the world (or at least Egypt and Japan!)
Taste every cocktail there is
Go on a cruise ship
Win a 'best in show' with one of my dogs
Attend a cosplay convention ( :o )
I have many more but they aren't very realistic unless I win the lotto!
Edit - whoops I just read that money is no option!

You are off to a fantastic start! The Great Wall ,how fortunate for you. You are only missing two continents ! I see your alias is very fitting. I hope all your dreams come true!

My partner and I have both vowed to go to Japan, he is in love with the culture there.. me: well I just love the fashion :D
At the moment we are surviving on $80 a week so that's a long way off... $80 doesn't get you much food I can tell you that!

I love the Japanese culture as well.So beautiful and peaceful and balanced.
If you like to read,one of my favorite books is Memoirs of a Geisha.It gives you a nice balance of story and culture.

Last year I did some on my list:
-bungee jump [at 200 feet]
-plane jump [at 10,500 feet]
-car jump [that's when you have two cars on two lanes and you jump in the other one and back and forth]
----my jumping days are done..
My body was at an extreme high... but I don't think I'll be able to repeat it--- I was really well super shakey.

Major props to you. I don't think I could jump out of anything... I am TERRIFIED of heights... one of those guys that won't even go on a big roller coaster... God I am a panzy... perhaps I will put that on my list. Ride a roller coaster that isn't made for children.

Trust me when I was on that plane, and on the edge I had tears running down my face, my heart was thumping out of my chest and I swallowed my vomit [eww TMI?].
Then it came to a point where I couldn't hear anything the instructor said and I could only hear my heart... I just jumped...
And that feeling is... unexplainable. It's just WOW.

Ditto for me KC. I can't stand heights.
Let's go together, we can cling to each other and cry! :D
My list;
- Visit my family in Germany again.
- Go to Hawaii with the kids.
- Rent a motorhome and go all over Canada and parts of the US.
- Write my biography so my kids will remember me.
- Have a romantic weekend getaway with just hubby and me.
- Get my book published.
I should stop, this list could go on forever! There are so many things I still want to do, I hope I have the time to do them.
KC, big roller coaster in West Edmonton Mall, come on down, we'll go, I'll buy. Afterwards we can go find a bar and drink ourselves silly, if we're not still puking. :eek:

Apr 30, 2009, 10:16 AM

Two years ago hubby and I took the kids to Klondyke days in Edmonton. They had a huge ferris wheel. I'm terrified of heights, but I wanted to appear brave in front of the kids so I agreed to get on.
Hubby knows about my fear, so as soon as we get to the top he starts rocking back and forth making the darn thing swing. I grabbed my son, he was 8 at the time and started screaming.
Sydney, my daughter, who was 4 then, looks at me with this disgusted look on her face. I don't think I'll ever live it down. :(
Jared is like me, he was scared too. Sydney went on all the rides, even begged to go on ones she was too small for.
After the ferris wheel I stayed on the ground. That's enough excitement for this decade! ;)

If you vomit on me we're going to have words. :eek:
Okay, drink first, then go.
I guess it would be a bad time to mention that people have actually died on that roller coaster. There was a malfunction many years ago, three people died.
But it's been running well ever since. I'm sure it will be fine. :D

I also want to win the Lottery, so that everyone I love will be OK after I'm no longer here to help them (not that I'm a lot of help), but I need to know that they will all be OK.
I also want to be Truly Happy with everything. Good luck with that... *I say to myself*

I've written a children's book, have made a teeny effort to get it published, but I could do a lot more. I'm afraid of rejection, don't like it.
I'd post it here but it's 5 typed pages long and also I'm not yet protected from having it stolen (whatever the heck they call it, I know the word but it's trapped in my wee head).
I'm more then willing to send it to you and a handful of others on this site that I trust, but I'm not willing to make it public, I worked hard at it, want the credit if it gets published. ;)

The artwork is what's holding me back. I have the whole books artwork in my head but can't seem to do it justice on paper. It's frustrating.
You would think it would be about a bunny, but no, it's about a duck. It's actually funny how the book came to be. It happened in one of our chat threads. I have Startover22 and Starby to thank for it.
It was Canada day, the Canadians call themselves Canucks, don't know why, we just do. Anyway, Starty came on and said "I want to wish all my Canduck friends a happy Canada day". Starby came on and said "I'm a duck?" and that's how it all started. Thanks to one little typo I got my idea.
Starby has been a duck ever since and that's how I got the inspiration for the book. It's about a little duck with a star on it's back, a Starduck. :)
Silly how I come up with these things. :)

Inspiration always comes from something we would never expect.That sounds so cute.
I think we should start a thread where we write a children's book as a whole.Or an adult book,with lots of helpful relationship advice thrown in for good measure.
A communal effort.One person starts and the next adds on until we have our book done.
Clearly,everyone here has great writing skills and creative thinking.we prove that with our thoughtful answers. What do you think, a book from the amhd members?

My bucket list includes writing a TV series called Sailor's Navy. It would make the McHale's Navy series look tame. Long story but it would contain some very hilarious real life adventures of some friends of mine who really are in the navy in a foreign country. Real life really is stranger than anything you could make up.
Travel as much as possible to places in America that I haven't seen. And while traveling America give away thousands of dollars to homeless families.
Design and build my dream home on the top of a mountain range.
Be able to invite my raccoon buddies inside and feed them inside my dream home. I'll have a special raccoon room just for them.
