In trolling my favorite blogs last night and then watching The Jane Austen Book Club, I noticed there is a dearth of “my favorite things” lists but I am thinking that it just might be time for a “What I never intend on doing” list.
Not everyone shares my “never do’s” . George Harrison just never wants to say, goodbye.” GEORGE HARRISON – I DON’T WANT TO DO IT LYRICS
But, as far as I am concerned:
- I do not want to jump out of an airplane. I don’t care if I have a parachute on or not, it is going to take a lot to ever get me to jump. (That was from a scene in The Jane Austen Book Club.)
- I do not want to ever eat a living thing; especially if it hangs wiggling out of my mouth.
- I do not ever want to rehab a house again. I know this is probably unrealistic and just because I do not want to does not mean I will not do it. But, I don’t wanna!!! I really, really, really, do not want to.
- And, with that goes, any reason that I might have to listen to a table saw for four hours a day. I do not want to ever do that either.
- I do not want to sit up in an Emergency Room all night, or be the patient in one, for that matter. I know, I do not have a choice on this one, but I do not want to do either one.
- Bungee Jumping. Although, it does look a bit like fun, there are things about relying on a rubber band for survival that I do not find appealing.
- Extreme Skiing also looks fun but I will stick with the “path well traveled” thankyouverymuch.
I am having a hard time finding things for this list. Guess, that is why I do not see them much.
P.S. This is getting easier. Beside the great lists that XUP has added, I never, ever, ever want to go out for my daily walk and find a tree hanging with nests (4 of them) of wriggling worms again. ICK!!!ICK!!!ICK!!! It brings new meaning to bugs in a bag. Not that I had a meaning for Bugs in a Bag but it is full of the wiggling icky things and some have opted to go for a mid-morning snack. They are Eastern tent caterpillars Eastern tent caterpillar – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
You’re having a hard time for this list? Gee, how about: be imprisoned, get mugged, kill someone, deep sea diving, go into space, have a Brazilain wax, tour Afghanistan, outlive your kids, have surgery, go back to university, live on the streets….. I could go on forever…
Imprisoned, no, don’t want to do.
mugged, no, don’t want to do.
kill someone, well, I was prepared for that once, when daughter-of-eleven got us stalked by a toxic waste tanker driver. Yes, my life has been full of riches.
Deep sea diving, looks cool
go into space looks like something I would love to do actually. I might wait until I am dying of something to do it though, just to make sure I get the most bang for my buck on this old earth
Brazilian wax, absolutely NOT
tour Afghanistan, yes, after it has settled down a lot
outlive my kids, no. Watched mom do that and her mother before her. It’s not a place I want to go to.
Surgery: I am now at eleven and hope to never go there again.
I would love to go to university again, if my brain was willing.
Live on the streets. I rather doubt I would enjoy that. However, we are all much stronger than we think and if it should have to happen, it will and I will survive.
Ewwwww. I think the list could be endless once you really get going even if it’s just a “never intend to do” list as opposed to a “I hope it never happens list”.
Oh, there’s whole new lists: Things I never meant to do but did and Things I hope never happen again!
