Hi everyone, with the New Year just around the corner, I have been thinking a lot about writing a list of things I'd like to do in my lifetime.

Do any of you have a 'bucket' list? If so, what's on yours, or for those of us that don't have one, what would be on yours?

    Hehe, shiny things are always good :)

    I like your lists, similar to what i'd have minus the sky dive lol.

    Anybody else have a list?

    I highly recommend sky diving, hot air balloon was a little boring.
    I'd like to visit Europe.

    1. Buy a bucket
    2. Throw away current bucket which was used to mix quickcrete and not cleaned properly.
    3. Done.


    I am a simple person.

    I have a few items on my bucket list

    -Live in Hawaii for at least 6 months
    -learn how to play a song on guitar
    -body surf at a concert
    -paint a mural
    -go on a hot air balloon ride
    -go white water rafting
    -organize and run a marathon to raise money for crohns disease

    Thats all I got so far other than go swimming with dolphins which I did and move to California which I did and regret

    I'm young, so it may not stay this way, but the one and only thing on my list is to visit the Irish coast in the spring. I want to see the land of my ancestors, and I'd love to stay for at least one month.

    LOL! My bucket list actually now includes meeting a few of my MFP friends. They live on the east coast and midwest and I am a west coast girl, so it takes some serious planning. But I couldnt do this without them. They have become really important to me.

    Over the years I have found this to be most useful:

    2- 10 gallon
    2- 5 gallon
    8- 1 gallon

    More than that is overkill, less than that it is hard to paint a house.

    It's interesting for sure...

    But the far less publicised Avebury Ring isn't far from there, along with West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill.

    Avebury Ring is bigger, it's older, you're allowed to walk round the stones and even touch them AND it has a pub sat smack in the middle of it! :bigsmile:

    Seriously, if you're coming all that way, don't allow yourself to be sucked into the Stonehenge thing, without seeing all the other cool things that are within a few miles of it, and not swamped with coachloads of tourists.

    I've been keeping a 101 in 1001 list for several years (though I have no idea when the 1001 days would be up, so it's more of just a constantly shifting list of big things I'd like to accomplish in the near future... that is not nearly as catchy a name for it, honestly.)

    Some highlights are:

    *See Rammstein in concert (Done! Going to see them twice more this year!)
    *Perform burlesque in a state I don't live in (Hopefully accomplished in the next six months)
    *Perform burlesque on a continent I don't live on (Who knows when this will happen, but I'M GONNA)
    *Save $500 to invest in new stocks (I don't make a heck of a lot of money, and my job doesn't have any sort of benefits, so I'm relying a lot on my stock portfolio for the future... I haven't invested in a new stock in awhile, so I'm looking to expand my horizons a little)

    Becoming positively ancient and yet having consistently failed to kick the bucket, I've had to revise my bucket list many times.

    I've already managed to cross off scuba diving, carriage driving, rock climbing, juggling, having my writing published, seeing moose and beaver in the wild, silversmithing, visiting pretty much every country in Europe, riding the Trans-Asia Express, canoe-camping in the Canadian wilderness, visiting the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, India, Iran, Morocco, Turkey, Tunisia and Syria.

    On my list now is visiting the Galapagos Islands, seeing the Northern Lights, dog sledding, skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa (fingers crossed for the last two in February) and as and when money permits, visiting every World Heritage Site. Oh, and visiting America which, bizarrely, I've still never got round to! :bigsmile:

    Oh yeah, and I'd love to see a polar bear and grizzly bear in the wild one day. Preferably from very sturdy vehicles...
    *See Rammstein in concert (Done! Going to see them twice more this year!)
    Awesome, still haven't seen them, but have tickets for Birmingham UK in February. Can't WAIT!

    Where are you seeing them?

    I saw them in Chicago last spring, and I'm going to see them in Chicago and Detroit when they come back this spring. ^_^ (Which, I realize, is two Rammstein concerts in three days, and that pretty much makes me Crazypants McGee, but I love them.)

    At least it's not crazy travelling between those two gigs, but yeah you should change your user name to Crazypants!

    Been waiting for a UK tour for ages, thought at one time that another tour anywhere wasn't going to happen at all, so I'm really pumped about finally getting to see them, AND within an hour's drive of home, how cool is that! :bigsmile:

    I completely sympathize. I *never* thought I'd see them in the States. ...Which is partially why I'm roadtripping to see them twice. If I'm going to live one dream, I might as well do it as big as I can. ^___^

    I know you'll enjoy it, it's incredible to see them live.

    Thanks "Crazypants" and good luck with the burlesque! :smile:

    There is nothing wrong with shiny things! I just call them sparklies and I think we all deserve some sparkle in our lives!!
