Let's Make An Anti-Bucket List?

I'll add another one. I'll never again go on anything called the Wild Mouse at an amusement park. When I was in high school, my girlfriend and I went on a double-date with another couple. The other guy was on the football team so he was big. I was 135 pounds.

I ended up on the outside of the car and due to the centrifugal force and 3 bodies against me I could no longer breathe. 3 people were crushing up against me. I was screaming and they had to stop the ride. Something I will never forget.

Ok, that will go on my no-no list, too..

I feel for you Doug. The operator had to stop a ride for me once, decades ago. It was one of those fast moving roller coaster type rides (forgot what it was called), but it was indoors on a tilted track. I told my friend I didn't want to go on it, but she convinced me. I got sick, mostly due to my heart condition. I didn't barf or anything like that. Then of course she was sorry. I should have just refused. :(

I don't think I'll ever go to Europe again. That flight across the Atlantic is brutally long and I have no desire to do any more traveling. Europe is beautiful, though, and the high speed trains are a great way to get around!

Pah! Just a hop, skip and a jump away, you want to try flying to Europe from Australia. :D
 

No more roller coasters, downhill skiing, or discos (that one is easy as I last went to a disco in 1986)

Will probably never go to Mexico or the Caribbean again, just from lack of interest.

Even if we bring in new management? I'd like to envision a day when our two countries are friends again.

Maybe down the road, only place I'd really like to get to would be Dick Perneki's (sp?) cabin in Alaska

We have such a vast country and there are still a couple of provinces i have yet to see.
 
I would like to say a tropical island...I don't drink much, swim much or eat much or a long place ride; just a useless destination for me. I am going to Florida for the BJ baseball training camp in late February. I just want a warm place for a week and the baseball is my hubbys passion...
 
I would never go on a boat ride again. I get seasick easily and if you saw the sizes of the alligators around here, you would not go on a boat on our rivers or lakes, let alone on a canoe, paddleboat or kayak!
I will never again swim in the ocean or gulf either. No, thank you! Too many creatures in the water!
I will no longer go on long car rides.
I will no longer travel either by plane or train.
I will no longer stay in hotels either. Not cleaned enough for my taste!
As you can see, I am pretty difficult these days!šŸ˜½
 
The only thing I came up with is no more travel. I've traveled and lived in multiple states, some more than once. Heck, I lived in the one I'm currently in 3 times.

But as I'm reading everyone's non bucket items, I'm thinking to myself, nope, don't want to do that one. Oh wait, not that one either. Or that. Or that one.

Let's just say, most of these non bucket items fit me.
 
I think I'll skip ever going to those scary Halloween places -- not sure if it was a 'haunted house' but the place was scary and freaky and a bit disorienting. My daughter wanted to immediately go through it again, and I was like 'NO! NO!'.

Bringing in new management would only be a first step towards regaining lost trust. The culture surrounding the current management would remain for a considerable time. Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.

I think that is true for the rest of the allied nations too. Trust in what used to be a reliable friend has been lost it will take a long time to get it back, the world is realigning.

But new management is desperately needed. That's the first step in healing our great divide.
