Yep. Done most of them. Gotta go to the Dakotas and Black hills on camping trip, win the lottery, and watch Hillary hang for treason. Those are the big ones left.

I can’t begin to tell you how repugnant I find the term “bucket list.”

It seems to imply that the sole purpose of life is to gather experiences before it’s over because, after it is, there’s nothing else.

Nowhere is the realization that what we do here determines where we end up after death. And if we only spend it on bucket list activities, we might regret that in the afterlife.

Is there a ‘most shallow writer’ competition going on? If so this bimbo gets my vote.

I want to go to Athens, Tennessee and get a BLT and wash it down with some Mayfield Milk and follow that up with some Mayfield Ice Cream. Not asking for much in my old age.

Alaska. In our RV on a ferry.

But also have a coma list - movies to have on if/when I’m in a coma.

When the Day of the Settling of Accounts arrives, I have a list of Places to Go, People to Meet and Things to Do.

Had this very discussion on a trip with WBill Jr. Told him that it was a "buying trip", not a "shopping trip".

His Mom takes him "shopping". They try on everything in the store, look at every single option, and go back to cross reference prior options before a purchase is made. It sometimes can take hours, and they don't always get something.

I take him "buying". For instance, he needed socks. We went to the store, went to the sock aisle. I said, "Socks. Do you want 'White' or 'Colored'? 'High' or 'short'?" He told me his preference, I said, "Great, this is what you asked for and it's on sale. Look good to you?" "Yep." and we were done.

Total time, 5 minutes. Maybe. Now, he likes going "buying" with Dad. Even took him shoe-buying, which is rarely any fun..."Does this fit? No? How about this? No?" and so on.... and he didn't mind it all that much.

Can't blame the kid, looking at clothes for hours, when all you need are a shirt and a pair of pants, makes little sense to me, too.

I have a couple, the one I’m working on now is sorting, organizing, repairing and culling my 40 year accumulation of construction tools, equipment, materials, and assorted detritus so my wife and kids aren’t overwhelmed should something happen to me.

Also to finish and fix any outstanding details of my properties. I’m very close to finishing that task and when my mind is at ease I can concentrate on living and the other “lists”. I can’t stand the thought of being one of “those guys” that leaves a mess to clean up.

Father sat in the car, waiting. As you might have guessed, the longer he had to wait, the more agitated he became.

There is absolutely no way would I sit in the car waiting while someone was inside a store shopping.

This is really accumulation versus a wish/desire list.

About 5 years ago we stop buying a lot of stuff.

Then, about 2 years ago we started really giving stuff away to family, friends and charities.

Last year, my wife went on an “If you/I/we don’t use it, lets get rid of it, purge.

Our city has developed a culture of putting stuff on the curb with a free sign on the stuff or by it. Our problem with this great free recycling is living on a small dead end cul de sac without a lot of traffic. (Which is why we bought our home 4 decades ago.)

So, we went on a daily “Put something on the curb for free!”. At first my wife was hesitant to do this. She got into the game after some great results.

We had two neighbors doing major house repairs so there were lots of construction workers, handy men and laborers driving up and down the street. I/we tried to get the stuff on the curb before 8 am so the workers would see it.

My wife often would say this stuff isn’t going to be picked up. Sometimes after the morning traffic slowed down, basically every thing was gone. By the end of the work day, everything would be gone.

We have had the same yard man for decades, and I helped he and his wife get citizenship. A similar situation with our
house cleaning lady existed. They have become our goodwill pickup and distributors before stuff went to the curb. Our yard guy had a friend from the LA area drive up to get our yard glider and huge charcoaler and smoker and some bigger yard tools.

We took other stuff to our local Goodwill. Some neighbors and people we know have a terrible time getting anything accepted by Goodwill. The only thing they turned down from us was a box of non electric games. Which we gave to the daughter of the lady who cleans our house. She ran her own day care and was glad to get non electric games.

We had one thing not taken at the curb. It is a heavy black metal disc about 12 inches in diameter with drilled holes in it. I don’t remember what it was for, none of the curb picker uppers and family members knew what it was nor wanted it. So my wife planted Glad bulbs around it, and it still lays in the same spot after about a year.

As we get older with more and more people trying to tell us how to live, pray and etc., the more important John 3:16 becomes to us.

Yup. I have a list of people who need to kick the bucket. It's getting to the point that a list of people who don't need to kick the bucket would be easier to keep.
