Your Bucket List

They're not scary sharks, they're the gentle giants of the shark family! Google 'em. They're amazing

Great idea TC!

 

I had to think a lot for these things... never actually made a list, although I'd think, "I have to do this before I die" .

Hellz YEAH especially if you plan to dive with sharks - I'm in!!! :smt045:smt045:mrgreen:

 

I've boarded at Whistler, gorgeous resort & mountains. I liked Blackcomb too. Just fantastic.

 

I don't have any .. but will be nice to kick the bucket early

 

You'd probably regret it - they stink and their claws are really sharp. And they've all got chlamydia :smt042

- Learn C-language well enough to create my own software for my own needs
- Find a friend who is really good with chemistry since I need that and I suck!!

- Visit my good friend in California which I have been meaning to do for years
- Continue my education as best that I can with my terrible memory
- Bring all of my ideas to life finally when I have the time


That is all on my mind right now. There is lots more....

 

I've only Boarded at Blackcomb back in the days when you only needed a driver licence to cross the boarder. It was heaven!

 

Ok, will do so when I get home tonight Whiks... If they don't look like they have three or four layers of chainsaws for teeth then it is a goer.

Just any aussie gal... Cause I happen to be an aussie lady

Here is another thing for me to google,,,,,,,,, "ice hotel"...

 

Wow, I have NEVER heard that before.
I googled it cause I thought u gotta be joking. WTF? And they stink? I thought they would smell like eucalyptus...
Damn....well, I guess that means one thing less on my list

 

I like this one the most. I managed to create a small app that helps me out. The language of it was in Visual Basic. The next one I'll be focusing on and learning is Java, I think.

 

No, she wasn't kidding. And they have a 'floating rib cage', meaning they have no sternum and their ribs aren't attached to their spine like other animals, so if you really hugged one, you'd probably kill it. LOL

Just another fun Aussie fact.

 

You learn all sorts of things on this forum. :smt023

 

Really there would be too much to list because one of my phobias is to die while having the feeling I didn't accomplish what I wanted to do in life...I'm the kind of person that wants to see, learn and experience almost anything...But here are a couple of items on my list:

Own a Pitbull shelter and then train them to be 'therapy dogs'. Then do therapy for seniors or autistic people with them. I have a passion for Pitbull dogs, and I think they are so misunderstood in our society...

Get a masters in psychoeducation and work in high schools against bullying and teen depression and anxiety disorders.

Find my lifetime partner, get married and have kids to show them the beauty of the world and teach them good values

Buy a an old house with an all-around screen porch and renovate it to make it 'my' home

Swim with dolphins in the wild

Own a vacation home in the Caribbean (St Lucia or Barbados!) and go there at least 2-3 times a year living the 'local' life, then retire there. (bonus if my husband comes from one of these islands )

Continue Bellydancing all my life, maybe even become a teacher. I think this dance is so empowering to women, especially the ones with low self esteem. It can show them to become more accepting of their bodies as they learn that it can do amazing things and be sensual...

Learn to surf, scuba dive, and windsurfing

Parasailing

Take singing lessons

Travel to Greece, French Polynesia, Costa Rica...and go to DisneyWorld and the new Harry Potter theme park

And lots more lol

 

You know what's even cooler than swimming with dolphins? Swimming with seals. They are awesome. Super playful and inquisitive and much more interactive than dolphins.

 

They do smell like eucalyptus, but it's mixed with urine and chlamydia stench :vom:


(joking about chlamydia stench, but the smell ain't pretty)


But hey, look, if Oprah did it it MUST be good!

 

Aww, another thing to add on my list then, thank you They are so cute and seem to be gentle too! I swam with big sea turtles in Barbados and it was quite the experience too...I fell in love with them, hence my username
