GBE2's blog topic this week is "Never." Here's my top ten list of things I would NEVER do.
1.) SCUBA dive
In
high school, I took a SCUBA diving class. When Mr. Lundt mentioned
the risks, I dropped the class.
2.) Become a US president

| I know--powdered wig--humor me! |
History
has shown that most US presidents leave office with gray hair. I'm
already working hard enough to cover the gray I have and don't need
more.
3.) Sky dive
If I wet my pants on the roller coaster, I don't think people would appreciate yellow rain from the sky. Which brings me to the next one.
4.) Roller Coasters
5.) Eat bugs and crap
I'm not into eating gross stuff, and it's probably not kosher anyway. Not that I keep kosher, but if faced with eating bugs, it would be a good time to start.
6.) Be on Survivor
Life has taught me that I'd be the first voted off the island, so I think I'll skip the show.
7.) Pierce a tongue
8.) Wear a bikini
Do I have to explain this one?
9.) Convert
Sorry dear friends. I know you pray for me, but I'm strong in my
Judaism and if that means burning in hell, let's hope someone supplies
sunblock in the afterlife.
10.) Get Published
Psych! Although it feels hopeless at times, I'm going to do it. I decided that even though Bompsy has been around the block more times than Lindsay Lohan (or should I now say Miley Cyrus?), it's a great novel and deserves a home.

11. Bungie Jumping. Dumb Dumb Dumb
Gravity is relentless. I take enough chances with my life when I drive to work.
Skydiving is #1 on my list! No way, no thank you! I am with you on most of these though :)
Just think, most of the skydive pee will soak into your pants, and the few drops that escape into the atmosphere will disperse over miles and miles.
Makes me wonder when you're walking along, and feel a single raindrop, and think, where did THAT come from?
Your story of that would get published, I'm fairly certain.
Well, I'm guilty of doing #8 most days in the summer but otherwise I think I'm with you on the rest of the list!!
As for bungie jumping, I came into the world from broken rubber and don't want to go out the same way. I'm with you, Timothy.
Good list! I agree with the no bungee jumping! Me heap big chicken.
I sorta do wanna be President,though.
I never understood the fascination of exiting perfectly good airplanes in flight.
Like the fact you admit you were an oops.
I love your list and agree with it except to say I'll never convert to Judaism -- but not because I think I'd thereby end up in Hell. I'd be in good company, though, as my beloved DIL is Jewish.
I can agree with most of those, but I think scuba diving would be fun.
Most of your nevers are the same for me, too. lol
By the way, nope I won't be at the writing conference in Nashville. I'm not a member. :( Maybe one day, though.
My feet don't leave the ground. I don't do roller coasters and I sure as hell wouldn't ever sky dive or bungie jump!!
I would never do any of those things either except for roller coasters. I love roller coasters - or I did when I was a kid anyway...Do you remember the Pippin? The big wooden roller coaster in Memphis? Loved it! LOL. And good for you about your book!
I have done more than half the things on your list already, and the rest would probably be on my list too. Of course, I was younger and half the size when I wore a bikini and jumped out of a plane (not at the same time). BTW - my girls are both certified SCUBA divers already.
Two things I would never do:
1. Crawl through the tiny little aperture into the crawl space of my house, where there are centipedes, ants, and who knows what else?
2. Seek to convert somebody. A person's beliefs are their own business, as long as they don't try to convert me. Besides, I think Judaism is wonderful! Stick with it!
I'm glad you said 'psyche' on the last one. :)
Tons of luck w/the publish!! I hope it happens for you soon.
As for the list, I'm so with you on the bugs. blech
So great you are gonna get published,can't skip out on that one.
Oh,and eating bugs, can't wrap my mind around that 'advenutre'.
Lucy from Lucy's Reality
Sky diving and bungie jumping and that stuff, no way.
Yeah...I can't see myself jumping out of a perfectly good airplane either.
I did try scuba - in a pool. but hubby and I could only afford for one of us to go out in the ocean, so I let him while I vegged on the beach with coconut drinks because in the ocean?
um, sharks!!
no thanks.
Awesome list! I would never do these things too. I wonder if my friends would have these similar 'never' on their lists. :)
You share some of the same things I would NEVER do. I'm not into roller coasters and other risky things, oh and it would be pretty hard to convert me.
Wow, we have a lot in common! No plan to SCUBA any time soon. I hate flying so skydiving is out. Used to be a fan of roller coasters, but not any more, especially when reading reports of people falling out of them and dying. No bug eating = no Survivor for me. Only ears pierced for me. I'll do a bikini in my backyard. Jews are God's chosen people, but as a Christian, I believe Christ came to save us and fulfill the Law. Not sure how that all works out in God's mind, but as I don't have the mind of God, I can't answer that. I started writing a book once several years ago, but I don't think I have that gift. Who knows. =)
Dont think I will be bungie jumping or roller coasters anytime soon. Thanks for stopping by Oh My Heartsie Girl to link up this weekend. Karren
This is some list you have going on, love how you are working hard to cover the gray you have (I think most of us are doing this).
Get published? Absolutely, but why toss out a good glass of wine just because a tiny bug took a bath?
I would never do these things either!
And I can never understand why anyone would want to bungy jump.
Happy Sunday, Joyce!
I love your list! You didn't mention tight rope walking across the Grand Canyon. Maybe an oversight? lol I agree with you about Miley. She needs an intervention.
Wish I could skydive too!
