    ReplyDelete
  11. Go to Ireland and England. I also want to go to where The Lost Boys of the Allegheny were found...they're related to me and ever since I first heard the story as a little girl, I've always wanted to to go.

  12. Travel to Spain to see my favorite painting and the entire reason I became interested in art; Francisco Goya's Saturn Devouring his Son, it's stunning and breath taking. That would cross two things off the list since Ive never flown anywhere.

    Also, Id like to participate in an Open Mic night. I love making people laugh, its seriously an addiction. Id love to make a room full of strangers laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Travel all of Europe, and maybe live there someday.

    Be the subject of a blind item involving Hugh Jackman and Clive Owen and hotel bathrobes.

    Win the lottery, put enough away to live on for the rest of my life, and then go on a massive philanthropy spree donating money to charity groups in the name of a*holes. (Like $5k to AIDS Awareness in the name of Fred Phelps, $5k to NOW in the name of Donald Trump, $5k to Planned Parenthood for Rush Limbaugh.) I love me a side dish of revenge!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Me, that's sweet - contentment is nothing to be ashamed of. I was just thinking the same thing - nothing springs to mind for me, and for that I am grateful. I'm living the dream every day right where I am :-).

  32. Honestly not a damn a thing.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It was very beautiful though

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  35. I really want to have grandkids more than anything. My kids are all in school now, so it's probably not happening this year.

    I want to live in Europe for a year, which is very do-able. We do a lot of traveling, and places at the top of my list are the pyramids and Brazil.

  37. And I want to become fluent in Spanish. I just realized my apology for speaking poorly in Spanish has been incorrect all these years. It's NOT lo siento porque hablo malo? Oops!! (Can a Spanish speaker please correct me until I order my Rosetta Stone?)

    I will also need to become conversational in Italian, for when I buy my winery in Tuscanny. Boom! Bucket list item #3

    ReplyDelete
  38. Meet you, Enty. I can keep my mouth shut, I promise. =)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Pretty lucky - I've done most of mine and been to and/or lived in some of the most interesting cities in the world - Paris, Vegas, London, New York, Dubai, and just became a mom. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, Africa and now I really want to go to Thailand. So I guess that's it?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Like RQ, I've been fortunate to have lived in and/or visited most of the places I've really wanted to, born and raised in NY, college in New Orleans and Madrid, live in Los Angeles now. In recent years, I've been to Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Peru. I still want to go to Africa and Asia (especially Thailand). Apparently RQ and I share a brain. :)

    I'd like to go sky diving I think...maybe do improv comedy, visit northern Europe and meet more of my CDaN friends. :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. you know,as I get older, I dont really have one anymore. Anything I thought I wanted to do I have lost interest. I'm just happy doing what Im doing.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Visit Puma Punku and Easter Island.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I just want to have dinner with Bette Midler!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Bunny hop across Europe

    Retire early

    Have enough extra financially to be able to snowbird, do loads of travel, donate to the charities I am passionate about, and be a blessing for my kids (not a liability like it seems many people my age are setting up to be)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ok, I'm all, "I don't have a bucket list", blah, blah, blah, but I have to say that Taracu, I'm adopting your list, K??

    ReplyDelete
  46. To keep travelling.
    To not become frail, not so much a bucket list but a choice. It gets me out of bed to the gym and cleaning my house & keeping my mind active.
    To finish the novel I started.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I want to see a moose in the wild and hear it bleat.

    Retire in France and become a perfumerie tour guide as my retirement job.


    There's more but these are 2 that are imperative.


    ReplyDelete
  48. Space. I want to go to space. If you throw in Robert Downey Jr or David Tennant as company all the better, but I just want to go to space.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Banging Robert Downey Jr. Hey a girl can dream.

    ReplyDelete
  50. @Munch I'll beam RDJ up to you when I'm done with him

    ReplyDelete
  52. To bang Jason Momoa until his pelvis breaks :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hugh Jackman? :)
    Seriously, to go to Ireland and trace my grandfathers roots. He had to leave Ireland after the Easter Rebellion and we know very little about his past.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Make out with Brandon Flowers. Hang out with Bill Murray and have laughing attack. A successful usage of polyamorous at a dinner party.

    ReplyDelete
  55. See the Northern and/or Southern lights. Get to Papua New Guinea, travel down the Amazon, sing o. Americas Got Talent and knock it out the ballpark like that British lady, go on tour and get acting roles. Lotta unfulfilled dreams there.

    ReplyDelete
  56. @Rangeman, I like the way you think! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  57. --Experiencing the Surrealistic grandeur of La Sagrada Familia finished as Gaudi intended.

    --Discussing with Ian Holm what it was like to play Lenny in the original staging of The Homecoming.

    --Playing sevens against Lomu.

    --Hearing Hawking describe his concept of the Unified Field Theory.

    ...And a hug from my kids, and I'd be good to go.

    ReplyDelete
  58. See a UFO. I've worked for an org that studied them, but I'd actually like to see one. I'm talking full blown spaceship. I'd ask them to take me away, but saw that horrible "Twilight Zone" episode and don't want to be served anytime soon.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Taking my entire family to Europe and visiting as many historical sites as possible. Seeing Phil Collins in concert (he's no longer touring so that's not gonna happen boo). Go to Africa and see as many animals up close as I can. Meet founding members of the Vidocq society and pick their brains for days. Write and publish my own work.

    ReplyDelete
  60. MadLyb-I am terrified of UFO's/aliens. Like one of my biggest fears of all times. I just have this feeling they will not be coming in peace. Maybe I've seen Signs too many times.

    1. Jess, my son thinks the same way; that aliens wldnt come in peace. I however cant wait!!!! I wld love it !

    You just mentioning The Twilight Zone reminds me of the creepy stewardess/nurse who says "Room for one more, honey" before the airplane takes off and explodes. Did you see that one? It's one of those things that's burned on my brain from childhood. When given the opportunity to tell somebody there is room for one more, I will always say in my monotone voice "Room for one more, honey". It amuses me (only)

    ReplyDelete
  62. I want to go to Great Britain, Italy, France and New Zealand. The last because I've got friends there. Great to see them, and it's a beautiful country.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I did one of those DNA tests to find out exactly what I was. 54 % Irish, 10 % Black, 10 % Native American, 16 % Scandnivian and 10 % English. Can not spell today. On my list is learn how to ride horses again. I have seen the Northern Lights and I swear I heard strange music while I watched and saw them 2 nights in a row. Fantastic Colors. I have seen a UFO twice and it was so shocking the first time I was frozen in place watching. The 2nd time I was with my husband and we watched it for 1/2 hour. So, the bucket list is learn to ride again and spend the whole summer living next to Lake Michigan and hearing the waves at night.

    I want to get abducted by aliens then share my story on coast to coast while touring the UFO circuit across the nation!

  65. in two years we going to Europe buying a van and visit all the countries I dreamed of seeing. also visit the Orkney Island to see where my 6-grandfather came from and a small coastal city in France and trace the other side of our mixed family history, I would love to see both g-kids graduate from university and learn how to play cocaine on a les Paul and then do a pilgrimage...

    ReplyDelete
  66. My bucket's got a hole in it...

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm actually pretty happy. I'd like to be around long enough to have grandchildren, too. I used to be one of those 'never going to have kids' people.

    @old ;ady

    That would be a really interesting test to get done. Hope things are peaceful with your visits.

  68. send in my pic to reader pics
