Mrs B Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 A group I belong to is going to discuss this tomorrow night, and I'm currently trying to get my cold filled brain to work this one out. The idea is to put a list together of ten things you'd like to do before you die - I guess money is supposedly no object ............ otherwise I will be very limited. I have one or two things on my list, (well, about five actually) and have realised that some things I wanted to do at 18 I've either achieved, or have become impossible, or I no longer have any inclination for. So, jumping out of an aeroplane (preferably with a parachute) at one time was a positive dream - now I just think "why"? Owning a dog is a dream fulfilled. Going water skiing - been there, done that, I was useless. Having children - not going to happen Anyone want to share their Bucket List? I'll let you know what mine is before I go out tomorrow night.

Jacobean Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Visiting certain countries. Having my own business and working from home. I used to want to abseil but now I'm older I seem to have lost my bottle. I also fancied rock climbing and am no longer sure due to the same reason. I would like to learn to horse ride. I probably have loads of others ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think the only thing on my "wish list" that I haven't managed to do is spend some time with orangutangs. I would love to go to Borneo (or similar) to help out with the orphans. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathyw Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 To see animal suffering disappear for ever. To take my Mum to Sotland. To swim (in shallow water) with Dolphins. Visit a friend in Cape Town and ride the Blue Train. To go on the Orient Express. To have all the people who have made me happy at a party and give them each something that they desire but would never buy themselves. To visit Orangutan Island. To be able to get my home straight (still have lots of Mum's stuff here). To have land enough so that people who have dogs who hate other dogs could have fields to run offlead with no danger. To visit Monkey World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9Fran Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 See the Northern Lights (a visit to the Ice Motel while I'm there would't go amiss) See the Taj Mahal See Ayres Rock See The Kremlin See the Great Wall of China Ditto The Pyramids (although Mac Donalds and all the retail stuff would be knocked down for my visit) However, I am very lucky to be able to say, I have seen New York, ridden in a horse drawn carriage in Central Park, seen Ground Zero, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, been to the top of the Empire States Building AND swam with dolphins (although it was dissapointingly 'sanitised' by H & S) I have also learnt to ride, seen Monty Roberts in 'action' and seen Ian Dunbar lecture, so if I should die tomorrow, I wouldn't be too dissapointed (although it would mean not seeing my sons grow up ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spins4me Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 About 5 years ago I wrote a list of things I wanted to do. I had just suffered a mega breakdown and decided that for the next few years I was going to do things I wanted and be quite selfish about it. (I'd had several years of a very demanding job in terms of time, commitment, emotion plus some extremely difficult situations in my family). Well that's enough of why I did the list but here it is and I've done quite a lot of it. Typically I can't find my list but these are the things I can remember: Buy a smart car Get a male Spinone Swim with dolphins Walk the coastal path of Britain Learn to sing Swim 10 lengths front crawl without stopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
