We all know the saying “never say never”, but at this stage in my life I think I can predict with some accuracy, the things I will never do.
Some would say it’s an anti bucket, or unbucket, list.
Whatever you want to call it, I think it’s fairly safe to say that the following are all things I will never do …
- Attend a truck show (there was one in Brisbane on the weekend, which inspired this post!).
- Go skydiving.
- Have another baby – 100% certain of this one, as I’ve had a hysterectomy (five years ago this week!).
- Visit a strip club.
- Donate blood. Not because I don’t want to, but because I am on a medication which means they don’t want my blood (sad face).
- Understand all the fuss about the Kardashians.
- Go to a nudist beach (I actually went to one as a 12 year old, with my family. What can I say, my stepfather was weird. And no, none of us stripped off!)
- Be a vegetarian. I love a good steak too much 😉 .
- Go to a wrestling match (though we have gone on the list for tickets to the weightlifting and diving finals at the upcoming Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast).
- Get my tongue pierced.
- Eat bugs or cockroaches (like you see contestants do on Survivor or Fear Factor type TV shows).
- Climb Mt Everest.
- Take a job in telemarketing (no matter how desperate I am … phone phobia and all that).
- Smoke another cigarette (tried it once as a teenager; not for me).
- Shop at Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, or any other high-falutin’ designer. Even if money was no object.
- Grow my nails long. Heck, what am I talking about – I’ve *never* been able to. The only way I can enjoy having long nails is with gel nails!
- Live without air conditioning in summer.
- Wear a g-string. They really irritate my butt crack.
- Take a trip into outer space.
- Intentionally do something to hurt somebody.
- Compete in an Olympic Games.
- Wear clashing prints.
- Stop writing. To me, it is as essential as breathing.
I actually found it quite difficult to come up with this list. Although I don’t think it likely that I’ll ever get my motorbike licence, become a movie star, or learn to play piano, you just never know …
What would be the first thing that you would put on a list of “things I will never do”?!
Skydiving would have been on my anti-bucket list too, except I found myself with a group of my best friends tipping out of an airplane last February! We were at a J-Lo concert in Las Vegas, somebody decided they wanted to go for it, and suddenly I’m driving us all to the airstrip at 6:00 a.m. the next morning! I have to say it was an incredible experience, and I got some awesome pictures from my tandem partner’s Go-Pro. So I have evidence, and I never have to do it again lol.
As far as loving steak, I do too. However, I decided I love animals more, and I can’t participate in the horror that is factory farming. 🙁
Oh wow … but like I said, never say never! I would never have thought I could hold a snake, but I did exactly that when I was in Vanuatu in 2014 with some friends 🙂
Oh boy, I hope that NEVER happens!
Hmmm…. am contemplating ways to make you do a number of these things… thinking strip club in a gstring is an obvious outing! 🙂
As for the clashing prints… I’m sure we could manage that one!
LOL good luck with that 😉
Now my mind is ranging over my own “Never Do’s” list — what a marvelous start you have provided me with here….
I don’t think I’ll ever wear a g string again either. I think they were the silliest invention ever. I’m thinking I will never wear high heels again. My feet are over them. Great list Janet. I can relate to all of them.
Miss 23 lives in them – I have no idea how she stands it!
