ReplyDeleteDidn't you get to go in the basement of the Alamo?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's quite a list. Great idea for a post(s).
ReplyDeleteThis animal you killed and ate. What was it wearing?
ReplyDeleteInteresting list...it would also be fun to make your own list of things you have done. I am sure it would be very interesting.
ReplyDeletei've seen these lists in the blogosphere before but yours is quite amazing
ReplyDeleteThis time I didn't do any of the one's you didn't do.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have lived a very full life.
You've done so much!
ReplyDeleteThom: I was at a circus as a child – just visiting not actually part of it.
ReplyDeleteTom: Ew, don’t like basements, especially at massacres.
Jeff B: Especially when you run out of other ideas.
Doug: A gold and silver tiara.
Mo’a: I think some of the more interesting things never make it on lists.
Juliana: I have inherited good jeans.
Dr. John: I have been around, as they say.
Dragonstar: Hence my current couch time.
All hail, the new Queen of definition (Ambrose :))
ReplyDeleteI love your list - of this part 2, of the ones you didn't get around to I have only done #60 I LOVELOVELOVE caviar),, #77 times three - and #81. You are so cool. Say, can you elaborate on # 89? When I volunteered in a hospital I was part of a team who saved several lives, but I can't take full credit for any one. That is amazing!
Actonbell: It has and still is a very good life. Yeah, I got a funny one for a change.
ReplyDeleteTsduff: I took this a couple of ways - Once someone dropped to the floor with a gran mal (sp?) seisure and everyone panicked but me (until after it was over.) And once I deflected someone strung out on speed from attacking others, that kind of thing.
