Game: I have never....

[CookieMonster]

I've never had a speeding ticket :auto:

 

Me too.

 

(Although I have gotten a ticket for being illegally parked - I didn't realize it. And for having a broken headlight - doh!)

 

I wish I could say I've never gotten headlice...

[OhM]

...had cable television in my home.

 

(and until 3 years ago - had air conditioning in my home!)

[Barb_]

Most of the things I haven't done aren't appropriate to post.

 

 

I've never had plastic surgery, a broken bone, a terminal disease (except life), a manicure, pedicure, hair colored, eyebrows tweezed or waxed, smoked, taken illegal drugs, robbed a bank, stolen a car, cheated on a test, been arrested, been snow skiing, waterskiing, or sailing, or on a snowmobile,

and I've never bathed in yogurt.

 

Oh my goodness, woman. You need to get out more.

 

You haven't lived until you've bathed in yogurt.

After reading this and seeing so many things in this thread that I have done, I'm having a hard time. I'm not going to say which ones, though!

 

I've never flown a plane and I would probably die of a heart attack if I thought about it too much. Ditto for bungee jumping.

 

I've never had a mammogram. (Getting time, isn't it?)

 

I've never driven a motorcycle (but I have ridden one).

 

I've never been out west (not past TX, anyway).

 

I've never even seen a Trader Joes, or an IKEA.

 

I've never cut up a whole chicken.

 

I've never had anything waxed that wasn't on my face.

 

I've never had a boy baby.

 

I've never run a marathon.

 

Some of those things aren't going to happen, either, but I would like to go out west. And I guess I should get a mammogram one of these days.

[Cindy in NY]

I have never changed a tire

[RebeccaC]

Never eaten the dried beans we put aside for Y2K :D and to be honest I have no idea how to cook them. So I guess I can added never cook beans from the dried state, have done the canned stuff from time to time :001_smile:

[Elm in NJ]

I've never smoked.

I've never had a mocha, latte, expresso and all the rest that I can't pronounce( in fact, I've also never been in a Starbucks).

I've never been further than North Carolina(so all the Disney's are ruled out also)

I've never had raw oysters, I've never had lobsters or crabs.

I've never been to a Trader Joe's but I have been to IKEA.

I've never changed a tire or pumped gas.

I've never mowed my lawn and I don't know anything about gardening either.

I've never ground my own flour or made yogurt.:D

I've never done illegal drugs or got drunk.

[Elaine]

...been to the circus.

 

Now that is just sad. ;)

[Elaine]

Wow, I have done so much that you guys haven't.

 

I guess I'll have to call myself a pedicure getting, brazilian waxing, trollop who has been to the circus. Twice.;)

[tuckabella]

...never thought I would homeschool

 

...never been out of mainland USA

 

...never been scuba diving

Now that is just sad. ;)

Isn't it? But we'll go. Soon... :001_smile:

See, that's why I wanted to have a list of things we "have" done. Though I haven't had a pedicure or seen much of the U.S., I have had a biniki wax, been snorking off the shores of Cancun, Mexico, and been to a circus and sat on an elephant!:001_smile:

[Apiphobic]

I've never knitted or quilted anything. :blink:

 

I've never changed a tire or checked the oil in a car.

I've never been on a cruise or airborne in a helicopter.

 

I've never scuba dived, sky dived or bungee jumped.

[Natalieclare]

 

I've never ... gone skinny-dipping.

 

Now that's what I call sad.

 

When my dd#2 was 6, we visited relatives in San Diego. They left us alone in their lushly private backyard one afternoon. Of course we took the opportunity to skinny dip in their pool. As my dd slipped off her suit, she swam about a bit, then turned to me with a big smile. "Mom, I've never felt so alive!" she said.

 

With a recommendation like that, don't you thing you should try it sometime?

[dalynnrmc]

HAHAHA! Never read WTM! That's great!

 

I've never...

broken a bone.

taken illegal drugs.

thrown my mashed potatoes up against a wall! (Well, I'll have to call Mom and ask.)

[Mrs Mungo]

I've never been to Spain but I kind of like the music.

 

eta: Natalieclare, I've done a hefty portion of the things mentioned in other people's posts as well. I'm feeling quite worldly at the moment. :auto:

[Barbara in NH]

I have never been downhill sking or ice skating. (I grew up in FL, so not an opportunity for those) But my kids ice skate and love it and we all snow shoe. (This was absolutely essential given the time that snow covers the ground, we live in the mountains, so we didn't go crazy with cabin fever.) Have to have more places to walk/hike than just the roads.

 

Anj, you have to go to the circus, everyone should. Save up and go to the Ringling Brothers--really the best. I grew up in Sarasota, FL and every year they would do a "dress rehersal" of their new show for the towns people. Sarasota was there winter home. I believe they now consider Venice their winter home. But this was really fun every year! The wonder of the circus is what I remember most.

You're right. Until this thread I had sort of forgotten that I'd never been and that we hadn't taken the kids yet either. Definitely bumping that one up higher on my "things to do" list. And thanks for mentioning the RB specifically. I was wondering if there was really a significant difference. :)

[GailV]

I've never made coffee.

[Lisa at Home]

Man, I had to stay up all night to think of that one!

 

I've also never been divorced or had an unplanned pregnancy.

 

It's hard to try not to repeat the answers of others!
