Things to do before you die
I admit: I'm list obsessed. So I'd like to make a "things to do before I die" list.
I can't think of anything. (Well, "finish dissertation" but that's in the next two weeks and I'm hoping I have time to add to the list before my demise
)
So, out of idle curiousity (and a damn sight of putting off said dissertation), what are your goals? I'll add later, when my brain is capable of anything but history and literature.

have a big beautiful salt water fish tank
We have a 190 gallon salt water tank, and it's worth every penny you put into it, they are truly beautiful and amazing to watch, we have a little girl in our care right now (foster child) who sits by this tank for hours! when we feed the fish, she's amazed how the tank just comes "alive"...she didn't spek for two whole days, then all of a sudden she askd if she could come to the aquarium store with us to buy some new coral...a brain corral in fact, and from that point on...BREAKTHROUGH!!! :laugh: do it!! get yourself started!1 -

A list of things to do before I die is too morbid for me. So I have a list of all the things I would like to accomplish before I turn 30. (I too, like most women, am obsessed with making lists.)
- Become fluent in the French language (slowly but surely getting there).
- Learn to play the piano
- Graduate from college (who knows, at this rate it might actually take me until I'm 30 to do it!)
- Buy a house
- Go real camping: sleeping in a crappy tent, peeing outside, not bathing, no civilization for miles, carrying everything on my back. The real deal.
- Run a marathon.
- Take a tour of Europe: France, Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Italy...it's the dream vacation I've had planned for years.
- Learn to drive (lol I am serious, I have never learned how to drive, and it would be nice to learn how)
- Live outside of the United States0 -

No way!! They are COMPLETELY realistic!!
You need to remember -- you are young and (God willing) have SOOO MANY YEARS ahead of you!

You can do ALL THESE THINGS.

I saw a program about the Autobahn in Germany ... pretty cool. Don't tailgate though ... because the fine for tailgating someone is based off of your income and they said some people have been charged like $25,000!!!0 -
