Have you ever, ever, ever in your long-legged life...
1 Stood on top of a very high mountain or cliff, looking down at countryside, or out to sea?
2 Lay on your back on a hot summer's night, listening to the crickets chirping, and watching the satellites as they chase each other across the heavens?
3 Skinny-dipped at midnight?
4 Intentionally or inadvertently swum with sharks?
5 Broken a bone in your body?
6 Driven a car at speeds in excess of 120 mph? (yes, I know it's illegal, but the motorway was very quiet at the time)
7 Played "Pooh Sticks"?
8 Run in a "Pancake" race?
9 Had your eyelashes dyed?
10 Ridden a horse naked?
11 Punted down the River Cam? (or any other river)
12 Played tennis in a short white tennis skirt whilst wearing minimal knickers?
13 Helped an inebriated husband up the stairs at 2 in the morning?
14 Been too scared to get out of a swimming pool whilst on holiday, due to a very large Doberman sitting on the edge watching you? (no-one was around at the time)
15 Sat in a deckchair snoozing happily whilst the sound of leather on willow echoes distantly in your ears?
16 Taken a ride on the Maid of the Mist under the Niagara Falls?
17 Climbed up something - rockface, climbing wall, rope in a sports hall, long ladder, tree - and been too scared witless to climb back down?
19 Made snow angels?
20 Lost a shoe in a ploughed field on a moonlight walk home after a party?
21 Shrieked loudly, due to being spanked hard, and frightened away a visitor/s who turned and ran back down your drive - and now you never will know who was about to knock on your door. And you are desperately hoping they will never ask...
I was going to write quite a different post, (which I will save for another time), but decided that some of us around here needed cheering up, me included, so I should very much like you to answer these on your blog if possible. I hope you have had at least some of these experiences and that you will tell us all about them.
As for me? I am a pickle, so what do you think....? Have I or haven't I?
I love these...and have done some.....will let you know which ones when i post it on my blog? Thanks for a fun post...

thank-you for the joyful laughs...oh what stories you must have...I have answered in a post...I am afraid my life is not as exciting...though there is always tomorrow :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed these, Terps, and I am looking forward to reading your post with your answers. Don't wait for tomorrow! Carpe Diem!

I am not particularly adventurous. Kind of boring really. And now I feel sad about that because some of those things look like fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and commenting, Anon. Maybe these will stir you into action. I am sure you are not at all boring. Don't feel sad, but just remember that life is too short to peel grapes! Carpe Diem!

So wonderful to hear from you, Ami! This is great fun, and I will get right on it. I do admit to having to look up the meaning of several. I think there will be some that have to be adapted on this side of the Pond, Missy!
ReplyDeleteElla Giggling Already
I am glad you like this and that you find it fun, as that is the intention. Don't worry about adapting if you haven't done some of these - it matters not at all. Perhaps instead, you can insert some of the things you have done to take you out of your comfort zone?

I loved this. Recognised a few there, some not so much :) Will have to have a go, though I don't think my piccies will be as thorough.
ReplyDeleteI really look forward to reading your post with your answers, DF! I am absolutely certain you will have some very interesting experiences you can offer. It is surprising what you can remember when you think back. And laugh!

Hi Ami,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you doing just about all of these things! I can only answer 'Yes' to 1, 3, 11 and 13, I'm not very adventurous.
I've played the 'Have you ever, ever, ever...' clapping song many times, both as a child and with my daughters when they were young. Happy memories.
Rosie xx
Hi Rosie, I am giggling about the inebriated husband! I can only remember it happening a couple of times over the years, but it was very funny at the time, and just like John Wayne! Luckily we didn't go backwards down the stairs!
DeleteWe used to play that clapping song in the playground and it got faster and faster. I am so glad someone around here remembers it!

Ami
Blimey Ami, your life has been much more adventure filled than mine. Having said that there are few there I would so not like to have done!! Not only am I boring I am a scaredy cat too
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Oh no, Jan, these are just fairly normal goings-on for me. I am a really hopeless sort! LOL! I have a tendency to do things, and then think about the consequences of my actions. But some of these things, like the swimming pool and big dog incident, could not have been dreamed up in a million years. I was stuck in that stupid pool and terrified out of my mind!

Ami
Ami I loved this blog and can answer yes to a few. My life is very uneventful though and I play it safe. Will try to get around to doing a blog on this as it sounds like fun.

Hi Lindy! Thank you ever so much for joining in with this fun! It's also a great way to see what "still lies ahead" in the bucket list stakes. I do hope you will do a post on it.

Thank you, Roz and I am glad you enjoyed it. I am sure you are not at all boring! It is good to do something light-hearted every once in a while.

Since you wrote this Ms Pickle....I'd say you have done all of these! The situations all have a ring of truth in the description!
ReplyDeleteLOL! The only thing I never actually did was ride my horse in anything less than a bikini! And that only on one very memorable occasion when there was noone around! It was not at all comfortable. And my horse had a very bony backbone! LOL!

Ami
Loved your post Ami and yes...I do believe you have done all of these. When I get a bit of time, you might have to remind me, I will answer your questions on my blog. And maybe add to... ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
Oh, yes please, Cat, please do these answers on your blog!!! I'll bet you can add to them! LOL!

Hi, I just found your blog, but I did the questions on mine.
ReplyDeleteHi Ancilla! Thank you so much for joining in with the fun! I am going straight to your blog to read your answers! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteHugs
Ami
Yay!!! I found your blog. I saw that you were mentioned elsewhere and went looking. Kind of like a treasure hunt except looking for a blog.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, thanks for posting this. I am going to give it a go. I am a visual person as well and will be looking for pics to go with my answers. Thanks for posting.
Alice
Hi Alice and Welcome! I love the idea of the treasure hunt! I shall so enjoy to read your post with your answers! Thank you.
