Things I've Never Done

I am 41 years old, and I have never...

1. Swam in murky water. It borders on being against my religion.

 2. Ridden a motorcycle.


3. Been to Alaska or Ireland, but they are both on my bucket list.

4. Given birth without drugs. And, this is not on my bucket list.

5. Enjoyed riding a horse. I feel deficient. I prefer a four wheeler, as they turn when I want them to and the brakes are faultless.

6. Been able to sing. My kids remind me of this fairly often. Its all about choosing the correct music. For instance, if you are singing to Def Leppard you don't need to be able to carry a tune.

7. Known when to be silent, and held my tongue. Bloodhound need not jump in at this point. 

8. Completed a marathon or triathlon.

9. Purchased a Christmas Tree at a farm. They just don't have nice ones in the South.


10. Enjoyed eating potato salad or pears.

11. Had a blind date.

12. Owned a velvet image of Elvis. Or, any other Elvis paraphernalia.

13. Allowed my kids to own pet snakes or rats.


14. Thrown up on a roller coaster, or had any other embarrassing bodily functions go hay wire.

15. Used a non-white hotel comforter.

16. Owned a banana seat bike, and I still feel deprived. Dad thought a Raleigh 10-speed was a much better choice.

17. Liked cold weather.

18. Been afraid of flying.

19. Eaten anything anyone dared me to eat.

20. Worn contacts.

21. Snow skied. See #17

22. Had a working fire place in my bedroom.

I've linked up with Mama Kat's Losin It for this post.

Great idea for a post. Me? 1. Hate murky water and refuse to swim in it also. 2. Been to Ireland (wonderful), LCB wants to live in Alaska for a summer sometime (might do) 3. Always accepted drugs during labor 4. Have a no pet snakes, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters rule (need to be able to keep track of our pets - just a thing I have going on) 5. Rollercoasters I avoid with vigor, so no upchucking for me 6. I just avoid the hotel comforters in general - can't think about all the "possibilities" involved.
My recent post Island #1: Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
Excellent post topic! I've done most of the things on your list except: Ireland (not yet); childbirth without drugs (just ain't natural); life is my marathon, and no embarrassing bodily function problems. I live with Elvis, I've eaten grubs, lemon ants, gator, kangaroo. I HATED snow skiing (totally with you on the cold weather thing). I'll have to give some consideration to my own "Never Have I Ever..." list.

LEMON ANTS? For crying out loud, Annie! Tell me, were they good? You've had a working fireplace in your bedroom?
