That's a really good list.  Interesting stuff.  The sword is especially cool.

I'll have to think about mine.

TL

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

mine would have to be..........(it may change over time but here it is)

-visit every country at least once

-learn more languages

-write a book

-spend over a day in each province/territory

-meet the Dali Lama in person

I'll probably have more closer to the time I "kick the bucket" (as if there is a specific time I'll "kick the bucket" and it wont just happen in a minute from now or tomorrow or in a year ~_^) anyways, that's my list for now, I hope I'l get at least one done >_<

I was just having this conversation with a friend today!

My list is pretty modest.

See more of Canada, starting with the East coast (I was in BC several years ago).

Become a fibre artist.

Write a collection of short stories.

Ride a bicycle again.

Maybe start a small business.

Ninjafaery, when you come out east I'll take you to the beach if you like.  What is a fibre artist?

My list

• I've seen most of Canada but I haven't spent much time in the prairies (just passed through) and I haven't been up north, so I'd like to visit those places and return trips to Gross Morne NF,  PEI, Collingwood, ON and Banff, Alberta. I'd also like to go back to England for a visit.
• I love sewing and would like to learn to quilt (those funky arty ones I see on the quilting show on Saturday mornings sometimes). I'd like to sew more and learn more techniques.  My last sewing teacher said that I was talented and I'd like to see how far I could go.  
• Have a muscle car, I'm liking some of the new ones like the Charger and the Cobra, but I'd like an old one and learn to maintain it myself.
• I'd like to get a guitar and write music. I'd also like to learn how to draw and paint.
• I would like to be in a triathalon (not an Iron Man, just the regular kind)

There is probably more but it is past my bed time.

Mine is even more modest, ninja

Clean my closet.

 oh and to add to my list:  own a horse again.  my dream horse would be a Freisan.

Trishcuit, I'd do all those things with you. The roadside taverns are still there, but they're awful smokey.

Ninjafairy, I love fibre arts! Start by buying some fleece and a drop spindle, then take out dying books from the library. I joined the local spinners and weavers guild to start. Endless possibilities!

Here's my list:

Learn to fly something (a glider, hang glider or ultralight)

Learn Anglo-Saxon and Swedish

Take my son to Germany

Spend a bunch of years living in England again

put together a comemorative cd or book to give to the mourners at my funeral.

That too!

Somegirl -- A fibre artist makes those funky, artistic quilts you mentioned!  I'd like to play with fabric media full time -- learn to make felt, do sculptures, dolls, strange clothing, wall-hangings -- just go nuts.....

And of course I'd love to meet up with you when I'm in NS and Cape Breton.  I also have some relatives out there.  I'd like to fly out and rent a car there.

Elanorgold -- Love all of that!  I used to do a fair bit of hand-weaving and spinning.  Also made natural dyes and baskets etc.  I'd love to spend my time doing all that.....

That is such a neat idea.

Do these have to be possibilities or just things that you would like?

I would like to see well without glasses - to have 20/20 vision for awhile just to find out what it is like, maybe to be able to enjoy it for a few years.  Wow! 

trishcuit, I forgot, I would love to have a horse.  Two really, a sport horse to complete my goal of competing in a one day event and an Andulsian because they are so beautiful.  I'd like a bay one just to be different, maybe with a Spanish cowboy to go with it....hmmmm

I always thought if I could get two brown horses, I'd name them Purdy and Hershey. : )

thanks for the invite to think on this.

Some of mine:

become proficient in sign language

spend time in Ireland, Greece, and the Holy Land

learn to play the piano

lead a church plant (start a new congregation)

work as a professional actor (ie get paid!)

shalom!

 The HOLY LAND!  YES!! In the last year or so I have had a desire to go tour around Isreal and especially Jerusalem.

 Now that's interesting. Let's see...

~ go to Canada

~ learn archery

~ visit a haunted mansion/castle

~ visit Greenland (it's a strange choice I know)

~ publish at least one book

~ have a dog - either white german shepherd or Canaan 

I'll have to think more about the rest. 

My bucket list (not that I've thought about it much):

• Tour the Mediterranean and Holy Land (I have a Classics degree and have yet to visit the region I studied).

• Write something that gets published

Mendalla

Amazing to see such a wide variety of choices... if this was a mosaic, it would be gorgeous!

Never really thought about it like a bucket list, but I'll try:

• travel - anywhere safe, but more likely Europe/UK first,
• more canoeing (not just putzing around in a canoe), maybe even competitive canoeing or sculling
• play piano or guitar or something useful like that...
• own a cottage with a western sunset view with enough trees/land that the dogs can run.  As long as the plumbing works reasonably well, and the mice & racoons are mostly outside, I'm happy.
• Biking - not intense city riding, or clumsy stop & go stuff, but a good long bike hike, camping overnight...
• build a Green house - my way, where I can design it, plan the materials and systems, pick a location, decorate it (would be architectural and casual...)
• I liked clergychikita's church planting - that would be exciting. 
• Drive a racecar...  no - watch my sweetheart learn to drive one -

Hmmm....well at the moment, only one thing comes to mind:

Walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain

I'll have to give this some thought and come back later.

Why wait till you're dying why not just do it now

You are so wise.

(I'm not being sarcastic, either).

LOL

I won't go into a hissy fit with sarcasm ....

Thanks!

Oh, I'm not waiting until I'm on the way out, but may have to wait for retiremen t. However, if I knew I was dying and had to prioritize what to get done before I croaked, then my "Bucket List" would define those priorities.

Mendalla

 i would have to win the lottery to do most of mine. the tall ship one in particular.  oh and it would probably be in the Caribbean.  i don't think i would want to go anywhere near Cape Horn.

Yes, this would be great. These days, I'd only be up to a small section of it though. It's a pity wondercafe doesn't do tours.

Experience every country on Earth.

That's it. :)

You could write your own obituary for the newspaper. But I hope it is a long, long while before it is published, mendella

2 definites on my list at present -

• travel to northern Canada to marvel at the Northern Lights
• travel to Newfoundland to see some icebergs & the amazing geography (hiking in Gros Morne), and meet the incredible folks who live there

My immediate thought... buy a bucket.

he he

What's the fun of having something published when you don't get to enjoy the fact that you were published ?

Mendalla

I have already done everything I want to do:

1.  Dip my big toe in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.

2.  See Niagara Falls   (actually wanted to go down the falls in barrel but the idea of not breathing for about 30 minutes was not so appealing)

3.  Go to the Flintstone Park in British Columbia

4.  Go to the Laura Ingalls museum in Wisconsin

5.  Stand on the top floor of the Empire State Building

6.  Go scuba diving in Hawaii

7.  Shake Mickey Mouse's hand

Seriously there is nothing else that I want to do.

She_devil.  I'm very relieved you didn't try the barrel over the falls in a bucket.  I'm sure Ripley's believe it or Not would have loved to display your mangled body for all their visitors, but it would have been icky.  Plus, we'd miss your little red she_devil.  I think that is one idea best left to imagination!!  :)

Laura Ingalls- now, that would be fun.  I've read a few 'extra' books about her and poetry by her and so on - very inspiring woman.

 Flintstones....aaahhh 40-Foot Fred just outside Kelowna. Is that the one you refer to? It's no longer there. But I vaguely remember going there as a child.

 I want to love at least one man before I die. I know it sounds absurd, but I have never been in love with a man. I want to know what it feels like. I love God but he is more than a man, He is God, so that doesn't count. I want to love with a blind heart. I want to open myself so completely and fully that I can love with no boundaries. Sure, there is room for hurt and disappointment, but love can transcend all earthly limits. I want to know that kind of love. I want to feel that kind of love. (sigh)

1.    Zip lining

2.    White water rafting

3.    Going to the maritimes

4.    Learning to drive a motorcycle

Perhaps I'd add

1. Die so that someone else might live

 Hmmm... off the top of my head right now....

1. Go to Africa as a part of the organization Mercy Ships.
2. Travel all across Australia.
3. See as many different parts of the world as possible.
4. Find the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.
5. Be a mother.
6. Own a hot air balloon. (I took a ride last year and I'm hooked for life now)

There are so many more that I'm sure I'll think of later...

Oh yes, Puppypaws.  Two of the most wonderful things, ever.

Find the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Be a mother.

That's ....... it ?

For a whole lifetime ?

Die so that someone else might live

Jeeze add a little more worth to your life dude .... what makes you think someone else deserves it more than you !

^ I may be misinterpreting Omnissiah's words -- but I took that statment to imply organ donation after death, which in no way implies a lowered self-worth.

Well that's a relief

Amazing what we will do for strangers though huh

 Yes, organ donation is an EXCELLENT one.  Call it "Post Bucket".

Thats not it thats a part of it.

Either that, or when i'm 80 push a small child out of the way of a bus.
