Flew in a plane & never will, unless they fit parachutes as standard & only then if it’s those pully chord types that you can steer with & have a really soft landing.
Well, I learned a long time ago to stop using “I will never”. That said, I have never gambled, played the lottery, or purchased a scratch ticket – and don’t plan to.
Cut any slack with manipulative and passive aggressive personalities.
Eat organ meats
Gamble
Drink hard alcohol well, the occasional bloody mary
Lock my car
Iron ANYTHING
I DO, take risks, go up in hot air balloons, ride wild horses, raft white water rapids, go off exploring on my own in foreign countries, make happy brownies and always go outside at night when I hear strange noises, maybe I’ll see a mountain lion! :-)
@ibstubro I bet all dogs now breathe easier. Hahahahahahahahahaha! @Seek_Kolinahr While I don’t share your fear, I can easily understand it. I saw a contraption on a travel program, episode the Bahamas. It is sort of a mini one person sub, but not fully contained. Each person is diving, the contraption domed over them. Oxygen is around you like a mini atmosphere. HELP! I’m not computer savvy enough to know how to post a link. Does someone else know of these, who could show her what I mean? They look really cool, and I would love an opportunity to try it.
If you do that sky diving, be sure to share after, how it went.
I’m another ‘never say never’ type, but anything to do with heights, I’m out.
Wouldn’t cheat on hubs, wouldn’t get a divorce, wouldn’t live without pets, wouldn’t rack up thousands in bills I had no intention of paying, wouldn’t do crack or any kind of stimulant (minus caffeine or something innocous).
Um, I’d LIKE to say I’ll never set foot in a hospital, but that’s not answering the question because I’ll probably end up in one sooner or later. I can say I’d never eat yellow snow.
Oh crap…....that stuff is illegal. I forgot that part of the question.
Well it’s illegal to harm a human. But animals are quite the different story….in general.
Several years back a local tanning salon had a huge outbreak of crabs. Seems one of the customers had a bad case of crabs and some would fall to the carpet as they dis- and re-robed. The crabs would then get on the clothes or socks of the next client, and so on…
As much as that SOUNDS like an urban myth, it is a true local happening.
Now, @snowberry, bite off more than you care to chew? ;-)
@Seek_Kolinahr That’s a shame. SCUBA diving was hands down one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. It’s a bit odd at first to get used to breathing underwater but once you accustom yourself to it….wow…. a whole other world down there, and the weightlessness is just amazing. It’s not as dangerous as some make it out to be either as long as you have a buddy with you and don’t do anything retarded, you’ll be fine.
<understatement> I’m not an accomplished swimmer. </understatement>
I tried snorkeling once and nearly killed myself. I’m just fine staying within chest-height at the beach. If I ever have the opportunity to go down in a submarine, I’ll take it, but breathing through a hose and relying on my own propulsion is not for me.
I would never…
...go hunting. I don’t have any desire to shoot animals. Nor humans.
I also have zero desire to go to space, but if it were more comfortable, I could change my mind there. @uberbatmanA whole other world down there, and the weightlessness is just amazing. I agree. After I went shark diving for the first time, I spent the whole two hour ride back home smiling.
@ibstubro Now that makes sense. Thanks. And no, I didn’t bit off more than I can chew. I love to read about creepie crawlies, their life cycle, and so on. The times we have actually had an infestation of one kind or another, my understanding of their life cycle was crucial to combatting them.
I’m also with Seek. I can barely handle snorkeling, and don’t ever ask me to “clear my mask” without taking it off and wiping it dry. LOL. I simply can’t do it.
@longgone Oh yes, I could, would NEVER kill an animal, I’d eat twigs and dirt first. My old goose “Marwyn: is 15 now, raised him from a wee gosling.
If he was the last piece of meat on earth I’d kill any human that dared ruffle even one of his beautiful feathers. My darling! lol
^^^ True, he is a person, humans are his flock and I say flock off if you even remotely think of him with a citrus glaze or plum sauce. No body cooks my goose! lol
I never became an official Weeki Wachee Mermaid. Sniffles. But I’m teaching my grandkids how to be one. Lord knows I practiced enough growing up and had the scrapes and bruises to prove it.
@Seek_Kolinahr You are not alone in the snorkeling, I almost drowned myself before I realized I needed the whole mouthpiece inside my mouth, ugh, so gross.
DITTO! Salmon here too please.
I look down through these reponses, and I see that I’ve done most of them. It makes me wonder about things a bit. I haven’t jumped from a plane, bridge, or cliff. I think I would have gone skydiving, if the opportunity presented itself without my having to pursue it. Bungee jumping though, looks like just some opportunity to spray my previous meal to me. I would much rather do some zip lining if I were going to do high speed attached to a cable, cord or the like. One thing I’ve never done, and never will, is handling venemous snakes or insects for sport. I like non venemous snakes, caught one when I was a kid to keep for a pet. He/she was soon evicted. My daughter catches them all summer long, and sometimes she hands them off to me. I love how they curl around my forearm for warmth, like a spindely snuggle. Within minutes they become so docile you can let go, and they’ll just stay put and look around. Nothing with a loaded bite though.
What I really wanted to do a couple of years back was roll down the hill in one of thos giant bubbles, @Jonesn4burgers. I hope you know what I mean…I can’t remember what it’s called and don’t want to spend an hour trying to find it on the internet. It’s a giant clear, inflatable ball that they enclose you in and push down a hill.
BTW, aren’t you glad Askville died and sent us to Fluther! lol
@Dutchess_III , @ibstubro ABSOLUTELY! Water soccer in bubble balls anyone? @ibstubro What’s an Askville? Yeah, I’m glad I found my way to Fluther, but not everybody made it with us. Lots more are here than I expected to find, though.
Actually those are gold anodized aluminum, @Seek_Kolinahr, much like the old aluminum drink sets you might have seen. I picked those out for you because they’re retro fun. :)
I have it on good report that the straight sided tumblers in an. al. came packed with cottage cheese. The tumblers were ‘value added. When I was a kid, they were a favorite at Gramma house. If you get them really cold your tongue or lip will stick to them but they warm so quickly that turns loose in just a second or 2. Daring fun for little kids!!
What looks like gold on the sherbets is actually more yellow than gold, with a festive green liner. Delicious for the eye with a scoop of Raspberry or Orange sherbet!
