Things You Regret Never Having Done

[Viking Kitten]

Like if you died tomorrow... what would you be most bummed to have missed out on?

I'm thinking maybe skydiving and not traveling enough. There is a bunch of stuff I want to see, Victoria Falls in Africa, the Taj Mahal, in China the Great Wall and the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, Tokyo, Rio, Sydney.

Damn. I better crackin' on this list, huh?

[jk the sooner fan]

too long a list!

[sooner_born_1960]

I would miss Aug 24th the most.

Summer when I got o/o the Army and before I went to OU. Spent a couple weeks at home in Idaho learning to be a whitewater raft guide. I had a blast and some great teachers. I couldn't pin anybody down on how much $$ I'd make. "It depends on the season, water levels, tips, etc." So I left the boathouse (free room, food was on me) and went home to Pocatello to cook greasy food at a truck stop (Boy, don't be afraid to put a little grease on the griddle, them eggs should float on it) because I knew how much I'd make dragging my butt out of bed at 3 AM to fire up the kitchen every freakin' morning.

Yeah, I'd do that differently if I could time travel back to then.

Day 1 for me in Saudi Arabia, January 1991:
US Army is asking for volunteers to be either
a) truck drivers or
b) "laundry and bath specialists"

My buddies and I thought we were hard, just out of Basic/AIT in a combat MOS. We joked about what the guys who chose (b) would wear for a combat patch. "A bar of soap and bubbles?!"

Yeah, we should have chosen B for sure. Even A could have been wiser than not choosing either one.

two chicks at the same time!





yes, I was close and I blew it

[SoonerGirl06]

Going surfing. I wish I could get over my fear of the water just long enough to ride a wave

Catching a bass. I wish I could get over my fear of touching a fish just long enough to catch a big one.

Scuba diving.

Going to Tuscany.

Have a better relationship with my mother.

Most of all I regret not having met the love of my life earlier in my life. I've missed out on so much happiness by not having met him sooner.

That is a bad regret to have. What if you weren't in the right place earlier in your life, you never know, you could have hated him at the time or treated them ****ty just cuz you were in the mood. Think of it like this- all the time that led up to you meeting that one love, you were growing as a person and learning about yourself and thus, preparing for true love.

[OUHOMER]

going to college. Going to HS, i was not a very good student, I was smart enough i guess, but didnt give a ****. Got married a week after graduating, got a job, been working ever since. some time 2 jobs at a time. We were so poor for a while it was scary. Yea, I regret not going to school...I know i could start now, but being almost 50 i dont see it happing. If i was going to put that much energy into something it would be starting my own business. What ever that would be.

[Viking Kitten]

NYC with VK :cool:


Them Yanks ain't gonna know what hit 'em.

[SoonerJack]

I wish that I'd served in the military at some point.

And I wish that my grandfathers had lived long enough for me to know them.

Dude. Give me your man card right now before someone else sees this post. ;)

[ouflak]

I had a pretty good opportunity to play football at OU as a walk-on. Really, really, really wish I'd done it now, even if just for a year.

[C&CDean]

I regret not going to high school.

Things I still wanna do before I take the big dirt nap:

Australia/New Zealand
Irish Pub tour in Ireland
Harry Potter tour in England
North Dakota and Montana
Revisit a route my family took on a driving/camping vacation in 1962 - France, Belgium, Luxemborg, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Spain, and Portugal.
Italy.
Greece.
Machu Pichu

I have no desire whatsoever to visit any of the Asian countries. Can't trust those little ****ers.

[Viking Kitten]

Ooh... good call on the Irish pub tour.

Add to my list: seeing U2 live, flying at mach one (or faster) and skiiing the Alps.

[jk the sooner fan]

[soonerbrat]

[Viking Kitten]

IN. As soon as I send my kids to college. :D

[M]

VK, we should try out for The Amazing Race. I wonder what they would label us...cause you know, they always have the gay couple, the sorority sisters, the couple that never gets along, the lady with the midget...

[Viking Kitten]

There's always a couple of really nerdy guys too. We could be nerdy chicks.

All I've ever wanted to do is to go into space. Traveling is nice, but I'd like to see the world, you know what I mean?

[IB4OU2]

I wanna have a 'Hole In One' someday.

[Rogue]

What's with all you peeps wanting to see Australia? Mrs. R is big on the idea, maybe that's when I'll go to an Asian country that she doesn't want to go to.

[AllAboutThe'O']

To this day, I still regret not having played football in high school. I played football in junior high, but I didn't have quite the drive that I do now, just a classic case of being young and dumb. What I would give just to play one quarter of high school football.

[OULOVE]

When I moved to Colorado 6 or 7 years ago, I swore that I would climb Longs Peak (14,259 ft). Maybe this will be the year.

Ditto that. Even though I've already been to France and Belgium, I'd go again in a heart beat.

Something else I would like to try is one of those Dr. Pepper halftime million dollar field goal kicks. That would rock. I can still roll out of bed and hit a 40 yarder like the back of my hand. True story.:cool:

I never knew you dug aborigines. Kinky...

[soonersweetie]

Wow, where do I start

I wish I would have finished college. I only went 2 years to OU and then decided to get married (to my now ex), stupid stupid stupid.

And I want to travel-many places, here are a few, but not all

Austria
Ireland
Norway
England
historical places in the US like Pearl Harbor, all the areas around Washington DC, Civil War places and such
New England in the fall
and I think it would be cool to, at some point visit all the Big 12 stadiums (with the exception of that place in Austin-not going there)

I'm with you Dean on the Harry Potter Tour, would love that!

[soonerbrat]

I never knew you dug aborigines. Kinky...
