{ 70 comments… read them below or add one }
Ya uh, I’ve never done those things either…
I’m knitting a scarf.
And I grew rhubarb this year so I could make pie for my husband. I made one whole pie.
But overall, your list could be my list.
Come visit. I will make you a rhubarb pie. I have found three suitcases filled with cash and have given each one back. In other news…Seriously. Only 32? Why is everyone younger than me?
Really? Never? Psh…I do that stuff everyday. Especially the Machu Picchu one. Twice a day, actually.
But you CAN say you’ve been tear-gassed in Greece.
WELL! I say it’s about time to attack that list.
I can honestly say I’ve never done any of those things either….except for the visit to Charlotte. I’ve done that.
Your list goes from 19 to 21 (skipping 20). Was 20 too juicy to share? You had second thoughts publishing that one, did ya? I haven’t done any of those things on your list either. So I guess we both need to get out more.
Well I’m just up the street from Charlotte so come on for a visit and maybe we’ll hope that midnight train to Georgia. Been saying I’m going to get down there for a visit to my hometown for ages now. ;)
Holy cow…amazingly I’ve never done any of those things either! I guess I don’t have to type it over! Lol
Please tell me you really have seen Ferris. Please? You need to cross that one off your list, woman.
I cannot wait to do this myself. Without permission from Ree. It’ll be so scandalous! *wringing hands together with a fiendish leer*
ooohhh this is a good one to do.. I noticed the skip of 20 as well.. I get it mom brain totally understandable. 800 comments?? Seriously?? Good Lord I think the most comments I have ever had is like 50 and I was doing backflips over that. Ok so maybe not backflips cause my chest is too big and I don’t like black eyes but in my mind I was doing them
Ferris Bueller is my all-time favorite movie. Know all the words by heart type of favorite.
Damn, now I wish I could add that to my list. SO doing this prompt this week! Love it!
lol – I know ( 800 comments IS crazy) But I visit your blog more than hers, because you are more fun. SO there!
I just learned that I am older than you.
And? I would like to have crazy, wild sex in that tree house. :-)
Rhubarb is overrated. Charlotte isn’t worth a trip (unless you have a dear friend there). Ferris Bueller, though?!? Come on!!!! Madness! ;)
yea, Ferris Bueller and his day off are over-rated. the movie gives me anxiety
I love this list! I totally doing this prompt this week. Thanks for the inspiration even if you stole…er…I mean borrowed the idea from PW.
I’m comment #18. Only 782 more to go! Good luck! ;-) See you on Thursday for the Writer’s Workshop linky party!
I am sure you will hit 800 in no time : )
Wow how does one get over 800 comments??! Well I’m comment 20 so you’re nearly there ;)
I can help you with #3. You’re on your own with #10. Good luck with #21.
I haven’t done any of those things either….except for eaten rhubarb. And I’m not a fan, unless it’s in a pie mixed with apples ;) Fun prompt, mama!
:) The English teacher in me can’t help but say to the English teacher in you that it’s spherical. LOL sorry! I couldn’t help it.
But I haven’t done those things either – except I’ve seen Ferris Bueller. :)
but for all the things you’ve never done, I’m so glad you are here doing the stuff you DO. :)
you’re worth 8000 comments to me ;)
ferris beuler is a classic! gotta see it!! ;) i am 36 and i have never flown on an air plane!! never! don’ t have any plans to do so either…sigh
I’ve never done any of those things either. And that tree house kind of scares me. Pretty sure I wouldn’t want that thing to be rockin’ if I was inside.
I feel this list should get you on Ellen how long is hers ha. I have never seen the sun rise on east coast.
I love that you said you’ve never made love in a “special” treehouse. So clearly, by inference, you have made love in a plain-jane treehouse.
Nice.
until you recognize it’s gangsta, I fear you’ll never star in that wanted video…
oh yes, I know-because this mom? is the definition of gangsta
852 Comments – and Pioneer Woman has replied to 141 of those. I suspect I wouldn’t believe it if it weren’t staring me in the face in blue-and-white.
You’ve been tear-gassed in Greece? I demand details.
Oops I nearly forgot to shamelessly promote my
newborn-kitten-litter snapshot.
I can’t believe you. I have done all those things today.
Ha! Kidding.
crikey that woman gets a lot of comments for a little list post!
This is fun thought and I’m planning to do a – slightly modifed- list for this week’s workshop. Hope I don’t get detention for not completely doing my homework correctly. ;-)
oh and P.S. my goodnes woman – go rent Ferris Bueller now. good times!
Sorry I am late to post, just got done making love in my spherical tree house (whew) and I have to head out to feed all the baby giraffes some rhubarb. That said, you have a great bucket list here. Get going!
You’ve never seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Cult classic! And the spherical house….hilarious. I too have not made love in a spherical house. And, I doubt I’ll ever receive 800 comments on any post. Unless the spammers come out in full force.
Oh! This is going to be majorly fun. I need a good “Where am I going next” session. Thanks for the smack-as always.
I’mma bring Ferris over so we can watch it together. It stars Jennifer Grey with her former, more adorable nose.
WOO HOO! I made number FOUR!! Come on down, Girlfriend! I’ll have a big ole’ platter of pulled barbecue pork, with fried ochre and homemade biscuits, ready with a side of sweet tea (spiked of course!) waiting for you! Ok, I won’t because I’m from Chicago, but we can go get sushi. Then we can go hunting…by which I mean bargain shopping. Sound good?
You’ve never starred in a gangster rap video?
I kinda don’t believe you.
Should I comment each of these lines as a separate comment.
In order to get you closer to 800 comments? ;)
I got your back.
Well here’s another comment to get you to 800, I hope that helps your esteem. Don’t worry too much about not bathing in the Nile, I hear there are bacteria in there that you don’t wanna meet. ;)
I’m 37 and haven’t done most of those things either. But, I have seen Ferris Bueller! :)
#16 is awesome! Helping you get to #21!
I love this post. I loved it when Ree did it and I love it now. I think I may have to make my own list. Never been to Charlotte? You must go, there is loads of fun to be had there!
Oh, this is great!! I don’t think I have ever gotten 800 comments in my entire blogging experience, let alone on one single post. I love your list, I haven’t done most of them either, but there is always tomorrow! Hope you make your 800 comments!!
I have never done most of those things either. But, you have inspired a post for me. I just (six days ago, to be exact) turned 36. I am going to write my own list of things I’ve never done.
And mine is one more comment for you toward the 861 comments that Ree has gotten! :)
sharon
I love your list! I recommend strawberry rhubarb pie. Don’t just eat it out of the ground. I seem to recall that part of the plant can be poisonous. Also, watch Ferris Bueller some time. I bet you’ll like it.
I’m pretty sure your Taylor Swift videos are the closest you’ll ever get to a rap video star LOL!
I love rhubarb! And I too have never been to NC, but I really, really want to go!
This week’s writing Prompt sounds fun!
Up to what number do we list?
Um…I’ve never gutted a deer or changed a car tire or sang at someone’s wedding. And I’ve never had 50 comments on a blog post. But you do now.
That’s a great list and the good news is that you are half my age so it gives you tons of time to accomplish these..it’s easy..not that I have done any of them just that I like to cheer others on :)
Now that last one sounds like a bit of a challenge. Just 749 more to go! Good Luck and hope you don’t mind the copycat!
You’ve never seen Ferris?! Rectify that, woman.
I haven’t done a lot that’s on your list either. Those tree houses are actually made near where I live, and I think they are totally fab. I always wanted one to play in – never thought about making love in one. Clearly you are more adventurous than I…
Love this prompt. I’ll have to fit it in!
Doing my part to get you one comment closer to 800. :)
I feel mildly superior that I have done three of the things on your list–and no, one of them was NOT the spherical tree house.
I’ve never done any of these things either. Oh, except finding the suitcase filled with cash. I found that and I’m typing this from my yacht off the coast of Italy. ;)
870 comments. Whoa nelly! I like your list better ;-)
The first step in doing these things is writing the list, right?!
Great idea–thanks for the prompt!
What do you mean you haven’t bottle fed a baby giraffe? Hasn’t everyone done that?
Also, you should really see Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
This comment is to help you along to 800 – yeah, I know, I’m awesome like that ;)
Not seeing Ferris Bueller’s Day Off would be considered a crime in my book or a blessing in my sister’s book. One of my favorite movies of all time (but I was younger then) let me know what you think. Laurie F.
You must watch Ferris Bueller…like right now! Great prompts…keep ‘em coming.
Amen to 21! Love your randomness of never dones. Especially the sex in a spherical tree house and made out with a tattooed covered man. Love.
I soooooo want that tree house!
No, wait – she’s almost at 900… I’ve never even had 900 hits on my site. WTF? (I mean that with respect, of course. ;)
Hopefully you’ll get to 80 comments for this post than you’ll be at 10% of PW’s. Which in my book is pretty dang good. I’d hover around 1%.
I need that suitcase of cash!
Here’s mine:

I’m visiting from Gretchen at Second Blooming and am going to lift this idea that you lifted from Pioneer Woman and just keep on stealing. Your list and photos are fantastic!
I want one of those elephants in the top picture. Super cute. But can you imagine having to clean up the backyard after that thing?! I guess I’ll just stick to the dogs.
Love your list. And my vote is – you better watch Ferris Bueller!
Doing my part to get ya to 800;)
Will definitely be borrowing a few or your list items to add to mine:
http://thejessicaness.wordpress.com/before-eternal-planking/
And with your perspective I’m going to need to have some more cat lives to accomplish all the opportunities this planet holds. Thanks for the ideas!
Wow your list is amazing I want to jump right in on the adventure. I will have to make a list of my own one of these days and post.
Thanks for sharing such a fun post!
