There was a thread like this on another forum, and it was kinda fun. People were listing the things they would like to have accomplished in their lives, and there were some pretty neat ideas. Try to stay away from thinks like "Having sex with ten Chinese women" (cause after all, who doesn't want to do that).
...detonation of RDX is a natural cause!
Cheers!
I’d slap that woman so hard that we’d both be covered in botox.
...preach the Gospel to 100,000 people in U. of Michigan stadium and have 67,000 of them ask Jesus Christ into their hearts.
...finish a triathlon.
...become a black belt in Kenpo Karate.
...learn Perl.
...learn CSS.
...pay off the house.
...visit Ireland.
...visit New Zealand.
...visit Nova Scotia.
...meet Ann Coulter.
...meet Rush Limbaugh.
...become a grandparent of happy, healthy grandkids, and get to load them up with sugar before dumping them back on my children ("this is what *you* were like, son")
...live in a log cabin "up North"
...lose 25 more lbs. by diet & exercise.
Cheers!
2. Break 100 of 100 targets in Skeet with a .410
3. Shake hands with Gen. David Petraeus (already shook hands with Gen. Peter Pace and Rummy).
4. See Black Conservatives gain in numbers and tell the dems to pound salt.
Learn to hunt, kill, clean, and cook game.
Fire a 20mm anti-tank rifle.
Fire a flame thrower.
Fly a plane.
Sail the wine-dark seas of Aegean.
Visit Italy, Greece, and Crete for weeks or months.
Visit London for at least a week, then go and explore the rest of the UK. (gotta get this done before the Muslims take it over...)
Visit Provence (NOT in August...)for a few weeks.
Visit Normandy for a couple of weeks.
Raise goats and chickens. Collect fresh eggs and make hand-crafted goat cheese to sell at the collective (and eat it with game I killed and cooked above...)
Start and run a coffee and pastry shop with attached used book, video and DVD store. And, somehow, make a living at it...
Buy a repro Winchester Model 88 lever action shotgun (cowboy action shooting, and bed-side gun...)
Buy a good, shootable Broomhandle Mauser (in 9mm or .45) for use at IDPA or IPSIC... (Look guys, I’ve upgraded from SA!)
Write some blood and thunder style space opera SF.
Some of these are obviously easier than others...
If the line is too long, join me doing the same thing to the Senator who spent Christmas in Cambobia’s grave.
...to crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Failing that, there are a few FR women I'd like to see buck nekkid. But only for scientific reasons, mind you.
“5. Have a photo published in a national magazine”
http://www.intownmag.com/archives/05-05-may-2005/046.htm
Okay, so they didn’t pay me and it’s a giveaway magazine and I had to use my screen name, but it’s a start!
Have Rush cancel his dinner with Hildy since he is already enjoying his day with me and doesn’t want it to end... ;)
I have tears in my eyes and I don’t even know if your grandson is injured, sick, or worse. May your dream come true if possible. You definitely have figured out the meaning of life.
1. raise a world champion bucking bull
2. catch the world record red fish
3. learn to speak Spanish
4. get the rat out of my truck
5. that titty idea don't sound bad at all
How cool is that! OK, you can die now! ;)

Wow, makes my list seem pretty worthless. God bless you.
susie
That's okay! These are things you have wanted to do.
Sure, but I think I should want to work for world peace or something!

I went down 2 waist sizes just by running every day.
You can get a start on this by selling on Amazon and Half.com - that's what I do and I have a 800 book inventory now (which is very small compared to some sellers)
I’ve posted for prayers for Josh a few times. In Nov, 07, he went in for a routine allergy shot. Within 2 minutes of the shot he suffered an anaphylactic shock, severe. That’s what peanut allergies do also. It’s usually immediate death because the lungs swell shut.
Josh went to the floor his last words being “help me”. The ambulance had to be called in another town because the ones in that particular town were all being used.
Valuable time was lost and the clinic had nothing other than epi pen and benedryl. So...by the time the ambulance came it had been too long and he suffered a lack of oxygen injury. (hypoxic/anoxic)
U of M used one of those freezing blankets to cool him and on the 7th day they did an MRI. It turned out very bad but our daughter and her husband would not/could not let him go. The next day he began to do some of the things they’d just told us he’d never be able to do...gag, cough, etc.
After 102 days at Mott’s he’s home but still can’t walk or talk. He’s in a wheelchair and in some ways reminds me of Teri Shiavo. Although at least she could smile. I mean the eyes..He doesn’t have that Josh personality at the moment.
But he has made some very slow progress. He’s back to his weight and even has gained 10 lbs.
He can hold his head up and also is learning how to balance so he can sit up.
Eventually they hope he can use a speaking board but that’s a long ways off.
We’re of course, praying for a total recovery for him....Better than he was before.
www.carepages.com is a place where you can get photos and his story. Put joshuaourwarrior is the title you’d use to view it.
