Of course you've heard of the bucket list; that list of things you should do or things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Ergo,  I made a list, in no particular order of preference, to wit:

1:  Go see Mt. Rushmore

2:  Visit the La Brea Tar Pits

3:  Ride in the locomotive engine of a train

4:  Eat all the crab cakes and shrimp I can hold

5:  Meet Rutger Hauer

6:  Buy a sports car

7:  Have a home in Hawaii

8:  Finally get someone to put up a clothesline

9:  Hear a rabbi read from the Torah in Hebrew

10: Get a submentoplasty (plastic surgery to get rid of turkey neck.)

Getting any of those things except #4 is pie in the sky, but...

Hi Laura; either the umbrella or the pulley style sounds good to me.
I'll suggest those to any potential handy man.(Lucky you to have Mr.
Troutbend.)
Anything would do--I'll figure something out!

Life is but a dream. I hear you.

You like to dry your sheets outside, right?

Hi Jeri; would love to be able to; mostly I'd like to hang
my quilts out on these sunny breezy days we've been having.

I'll join you for crab cakes and shrimp and dreams....

Hi marta; there's some casino restaurants down on the Coast
that have these Friday night seafood buffets--c'mon, lets
go!

I heard a story when I was very young that was interesting
enough that I have remember it all these years. I'm going
to tell it exactly like I heard it, although I don't like
to say one part of it.
Said Casy Jones, before I die,
There's a few more things I want to ride.
A bicycle, motor cycle and automobile.
And a bowlegged woman on a ferris wheel

Great list.I'm with you on number four.

Hi Janet; I always restrain myself, but one day I'm gonna cut loose
and get my fill of crab cakes and shrimp.

Are you sure you can't somehow manage to take a trip to see Mt. Rushmore or the Pits? Also getting someone to put up a clothesline doesn't seem insurmountable. How about that handy cousin of yours? I'd like to go to Europe again to a different place. It all seems too expensive now.

comment by tealstar on Oct 10, 2008 2:27 PM ()

Hi teal; don't see any way to make a trip; travel expenses are
so high. I'd like to see the country and drive to those places,
but what with gas and motel prices, no can do.
As for that frickin' clothesline, cousins and everyone else I've asked
say well, okay--but don't do it. I used to stretch a line between trees
but all trees close to the house have been cut down. Just want a short
line to hang a quilt or wet rugs on. Three years, no one has put up a
line. I'm not asking anybody to build the Brooklyn Bridge for Pete's sake.
Of course I would pay for materials, labor etc. No takers!

WEll if the stock market cont'd to fall.We will probably
ended up in a grave yard some where.
Do not think that will have a bucket list.
We will not have any cash to enjoy our bucket list.

Hi Fredo! Hope you are well.
The way things are going a lot of Americans might end
up on streetcorners holding a bucket, sking for donations!
