bucket list..

[jvs]

 We all have had lots of time to think about what we would do once this is all over, maybe a very long time and maybe never the same again.Got me thinking about my bucket list.  Never gave it much thought and i do not have anything big like climbing mount Everest or something like that.

Would like to go to Europe again and visit the places i grew up and see some friends and family while we are still alive.Not even sure if this has been done here before but i am sure i will hear about it if so.

 

My list?

Have to look over my shoulder on this one,Asian twins.  Just once. Probably will never happen.  Second one will never happen either but still nice to think about.  Steal a Kerry truck full of stuff and start unpacking, best Christmas gifts ever.  Maybe i should just plan things i can do, like staying home and look after the animals and garden,nothing really wrong with that.

 

This brings me to your bucket list!!!

Lets hear it!

Yes when we don't have these things for the taking anymore it is only then we seem to start to appreciate it.  Very good thing to aim for.

Like most people i did not have any idea a few months ago what was in store for us.  A good thing is these days we have the internet so it is very easy to communicate.

Bummer ! That must be awful. I hope you can get the family together again in the not too distant future.

A really sweet, dark African one more time. 

Visit Portugal again. 

Learn to play both golf (when I'm older) and chess asap so that I can teach my boy how to play it.  

Finally finish reading Ulysses. 

Buy a yacht and learn how to sail her. 

Buy an old Landrover and do her up. 

Visit Mongolia, India, Nepal and Bhutan (not necessarily in that order). 

See Julian Assange being released without charge. 

See the look on Trump's face when he's not re-elected. 

See Ireland finally reunited. 

Watch my boy grow up happily and become a good man.

Some nice ones,i like the Trump one and that will happen!!!

There is a nice chess app in windows 10.i play it often,must be some sites you can learn to play.

When ever i play a new game i never look at how to play,i just start and learn from there.

I think your last one is the most important one but the first one looks like fun.

Don't have one, done what I'm happy with already in my life only sad people have bucket lists IMHO.

At the moment just want the hot weather to cool down with rain also the C19 situation to go away so I can ride motorbike in comfort again.

It'll happen - soon I hope. In the mean time for myself and many others in similar positions it makes realise how lucky we are with the splendid support we have from our wives back at home - The assistance with online (home) schooling for my Son is a challenge, the school is excellent and my Son continuing to enjoy learning.

 

On the Bucket List: Maybe a beach holiday, family Ski Trip, Camper-van around New Zealand.

Maybe not a bucket-list then (i.e. things you haven't done that you wish to do before you die)...  My interpretation of the Op was a list of things we are looking forwards to doing again or still plan to do.

 

The idea that only sad people have 'ideas' of things they would like to do is someone moronic.

 

Me: On the list of things I want to do: Motorcycle tour around Thailand and perhaps elsewhere in S.E. Asia.

You're right. Only sad people think about a bucket list. 

 

While so many people are only talking about what they'd like to do before it's over, they often not realize that times are changing.

 

  As for me, I want to die without having harmed or ripped off others, being always able to look into a mirror seeing an honest person.

 

And when they burn my body, it would be great to have some people around me who loved me the way I was. 

 

  The rest comes from alone. Time waits for no one.

Just say no. If she leaves you, she wasn't the right one. And there are others.

Go skiing, just one more time...

 

Unfortunately, having had a hip replacement, & other stuff, I don't think it would be advisable....555

OP ask what's your bucket list, I haven't got one, my wants are dreams of what I'd like to do and unless I have a big win on the lottery not possible. ???? 

I have managed one dream and that was to retired early and live in Thailand.

I'm of an age now where I've done the best I can in life with what fate has given me.

If something turns up that want to do, I'll do it but it's wise for a person to know your limitations. 

I wanted to be in MotoGP but I was never talented enough to be spotted. ????

Already done Thailand on motorcycle and truck/car but there are many more places to see on my motorbike which I shall continue to do along with my other two hobbies.

Why are you saying that?

If you knew me you would see i am far from being sad.

Maybe you need some more experience in life.

Looking forward to a nice juicy Steak and baked potato at Sizzler with my friend, Mike.

Yes, I'm in the same boat. I'd love to go skiing again. 2 hip & i knee replacements told me to be save.  I suspect the next recovery will be a bitch.

Far from being sad person, there are numerous things that I would like to do in the future, which would be impossible to enact at this singular point in time. Hence a "bucket list", which also changes in content periodically from personal whim. Quite a number of my earlier listings in the "bucket" have been realised and replenishment's are added.

Unless you're the fat guy in Monty Python, you cannot really eat every dish on the menu in one sitting.

Being honest doesn't mean that you have to be poor. 

[1FinickyOne]

I started doing my bucket list when I was 20... when I ran out of dreams I started doing others dreams for them... 

 

now - there's a hole in the bucket dear martha - a hole..

Jokes apart I don't think poor has anything to do with it.

I understand your question and wish all well in fulfilling their dreams. I am older, yo! Go easy I thus am closer to the end. I am fortunate in having been able to experience much in my life and so there is not a “bucket list” that is extensive. Oh, if I hit the lottery or one of you wish to make me a millionaire, I certainly would be open to re-evaluation. Currently, my wishes would include being able to effect a change from an ”O-A” Visa to an “O” Visa so I can continue my retirement in Thailand. As to travel, a trip to Vietnam and in 2023 or 2024 a last return to the USA with my Thai family. Did I mention making me a millionaire? Ha! Wishing all well, may you realize your hopes and dreams.

Not to kick the bucket

[Mac98]

Already completed my bucket list. My much older brother had 30 years in the military, beginning in 1945, and would tell me of his travels. For a boy from small town Ohio, educated by nuns and then brothers in an all-boys high school, everything sounded exotic. I started my list of places to see before the interstate highway system was much more than some disjointed links. Ohio was easy. S. Carolina, various places in Texas, Oklahoma, old route 66 to California (got my B.A. there spending weekends in Haight-Ashbury), the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, France, and last on my list was Thailand where he did two tours during the Vietnam War. I arrived here in 1998. Living here now. 

  I've seen much more of the world than that list but it got me going and I've raised my 4 kids to do likewise. Three of them have visited Thailand (among other countries), the 4th I took to tour Edinburgh to London because she had just earned a master's in Shakespearean English and wanted to see a play at the Royal Globe. Thank heaven for frequent flyer miles! And thanks to my Thai friend who got us a 66% discount at a beautiful country lodge where she worked up north near Hadrian's Wall.
