I have 1 see David Keen executed for the beating, RAPE, strangulation, drowning of 8 yr old Ashley Nichole ‘Nikki’ Read. 28 going on 29 yrs on Tennessee Death Row.

Anything else is a bonus.

There is absolutely no way would I sit in the car waiting while someone was inside a store shopping
= = = = = = = =
THAT is why the ‘smart ones’ put their bars near Grocery Stores, so the one car family had a place for the ‘chauffeur/earner’ to hang out till the passenger/shopper completed her WEEKLY trip.

My ex was perfectly ‘happy’ with no car and ME having to shuttle her around.

I had a company truck so I got a car for her (After making it damn near impossible for her to depend on me for transportation), got a ‘friend’ to give her lessons and she ALL of a sudden REALLY became independent. (She worked and had relied on bus or carpools).

I can’t begin to tell you how repugnant I find the term “bucket list.”
= = = = = = = = = = =
Whenever I hear the term I am reminded of ‘one foot in the bucket’ (and the other on a banana peel).

I am presuming in this case bucket is referring to casket or grave and with foot on peel is definitely on the fast track on the way out.

Nope. Basically done all that I wanted. Now see the future with AI remorse.

“Do you have a list, bucket or otherwise?”

I sure do... a honey do list. Dang thing keeps getting longer and longer, too. Poor hubby looks at it and smiles... he says if he lives to 150 that there is no way to do everything on the list. So... as a loving and compassionate wife... I added another item to the honey list: live to 150. For some reason, he didn’t find it as funny as I did. :)

With the onset of some concerning health issues in recent years (and a long slog to return to a lower-but-even keel again), mine’s more of a ‘quit putting it off and do it while you still can’ list.

At age 55, I do have a bucket list.

Last item on it is to buy a 21’ Schiada River Cruiser Twin Turbo (new or used)

I have done 99% of the things/places I have wanted to do, and only a few of them remain and the ones that do are optional.

The one listed is going to be done in the next year or two...before I retire.

Not everyone has a stringent view of their life, or the afterwards. I know that I may be considered a heathen, but that’s just how I perceive things.

A bucket list is fine, as long as it doesn’t become an obsession that takes over your life. The places on my list are there mostly as “would like to spend more time there” or “if I have a free vacation it acts as a reminder list.”

And the list evolves.

I’ve had too many relatives who spent ALL of their time focused on making it into heaven—to the exclusion of “living their lives.” In the end, they had more money than sense, and they really experienced nothing significant.

I cannot believe that any creator would like their “children” to live that way.

I always have access to a book, either in the real paper format or on the phone. I even have a couple of books in my truck. If my wife goes in “just for a minute” I am happily able to entertain myself.

Some of the best stuff I’ve learned was in ten minute doses reading in the Truck...or on the grass outside while I was waiting.

In those cases, you are not waiting. You are reading.

If its your first tandem jump, I would reccomend not doing it with your wife. Someone should know what they are doing! :-)

I agree. The other thing that is left out is helping make the world a better place than we find it. There are so many ways we can do that, in almost every moment and situation. Instead there are endless distractions put forth by the media and elite which will never satisfy the soul.

= = = = = = = = =

THEN AGAIN, maybe the Grocery Chains sought out areas near BARS to build...

That is where the ‘big bucks’ are spent, WE will find a bar, they sorta have to cater to ‘us’...
