Sadly I figure my bucket list is unattainable. :(

  • Figure out why women never have anything to wear. Don't you prefer us naked?
  • Figure out why women can't keep secrets. Of course we can, if we even bother to listen in the first place.
  • Figure out why women will drive miles out of their way to avoid the possibility of getting lost using a shortcut. Driving is fun, it means no cleaning or cooking is happening at the moment.
  • Figure out why a woman needs 21 outfits to go on a 5 day trip. Because she might need to ditch you, change her name and begin a new life.
  • Figure out why a woman needs 17 pairs of shoes on average. See above.
  • Figure out what is the correct answer to a woman's question "How Do I Look?" You need to say "OMG, you're gorgeous" before the question is asked.
  • Figure out why women love to talk. Because you never listen.
  • Figure out why women hate bugs. We need to give you the opportunity to be all manly and kill our bugs.
  • Figure out why women always go to public restrooms in groups. It's funny to see you men look all awkward and alone.
  • Figure out why a woman can't refuse to answer a ringing cell phone. I can't answer this, I never even turn my ringer on.
  • Figure out why women don't understand the appeal of sports. I love sports, I love to be surrounded by hunky men not noticing me noticing them.
  • Figure out why women are "never wrong." You shouldn't even have to worry about this, just get in line, say "yes ma'am" all will be well.

On my bucket list......

To visit US one more time, maybe twice if I still got enough money for that
I am still hopeful that I someday find my future husband, maybe it will be just a dream for me.
To stay healthy as long as possible
and to read much books especially SK.

That's great! I had an inkling it was something along those lines. :)

Well, almost dying really puts it all in perspective for me. I have a bucket list but I do it everyday.
1. I make sure I tell the people I love how much they mean to me and I pray and ask God that they will be guided and protected.
2. Every day I am grateful to be here. Some days I make it a great day and some days...not so much but I'm even grateful for the not so much days.
And that is about it--everything else is dust bunnies under the bed.

  • to play for the Detroit Tigers...Al Kaline, Mickey Lolich, Denny McClain and those guys...I can be...centerfield.
  • to play for the Detroit Red Wings...Gordie Howe and me on the same line...ooo, waa!
  • to play opposite Pistol Pete Maravich...he was on the injured list the one game I went to, Bulls/Jazz...
  • to be discovered by Nashville, become a world-famous recording artist, croon...wail the blues...wear a cowboy hat comfortably before cameras.
  • to come back some day and see if any of the stories I've hidden in the walls of homes I've remodeled have hit the big time...seems like less trouble than throwing a manuscript through a publisher's window, note attached, SASE, concrete block so on so forth.
  • to have Hoss call me "pal"...and mean it...really really mean it.
  • to have all the many beautiful people here share a smile with me.
  • to see the Mod's chipper-shredder.
  • to be brave enough to post a thread starter, Secret Messages in Stephen King stories...
  • to live long enough to see the return of Halley's Comet.
  • to fish Lost Lake just once and catch a whale, have the pole bend double, have the fish pull me around on my float tube...see it splash out of the water, spit the fly out, wink at me.
  • more...too, there's some that will never be and all I can do there is let my mind go drifting into time passages, as Al sang it.

I have a couple to add.

I want to direct and produce an independent movie. I have the storyline. It would be pretty simple but a good story, I think. Yeah, I've written the story. I've started a script. I've talked to a video guy. I sure would like to do it.

I want to do this:

How to Really Drive Across the U.S. Hitting Major Landmarks : Discovery News

dnews-files-2015-03-us-road-trip-map-670-jpg.jpg

With a few amendments and additions. Graceland doesn't interest me all that much, and I'd skip the side trip to Detroit for a side trip to the Upper Peninsula. And just as a warning: That drive between the Black Hills and western Montana might be dreary. But I really want to make this happen, and Grandma's a good travel companion.

Where is your NH stop going to be, Grandpa? I think I can guess by where the marker is.
