Since one of my items is:
Know I have made her as happy as she has made me...

http://www.newrivergorgecanopytour.com/

I have a feeling our lists will become kind of combined, or at least overlap, as my greatest feelings of accomplishment come in checking off "the list".

Will add some more later!
Great thread!

Diavolo,

What Concentration Camp did you go to? I have been told it is life changing. I would like to place a stone ontop of Mr. Schindler's grave as well. He is in Paradise feasting with God for what he tried to do. I have relatives who were in various Camps, but mainly Auschwicz (sp??).

Jess,

I think that place sounds like a rip-roaring good time! You must share your adventures there with us afterwards.

I really enjoy seeing everyone's lists here. I don't have much of a list of my own and have been trying to figure out where I want to go from here.

Here's my list, as it is:

* Get both kids prepared to be independent and launched out into the world (nearing the finish line on that one)
* Experience living alone (nearly there, see above)
* Find a mate to make the rest of my life with (might be nearing the finish line on that one, too, but only time will tell)
* Own my own home (done) and make it my comfy sanctuary (working on it)
* Be debt-free (nearly there) and prepared for retirement (working on it)
* Decide what I want to be when I grow up

I never really had the money or freedom to travel much and have had to do a lot of focusing on the here-and-now, so things like "see the Grand Canyon" or "visit a concentration camp" have never really been on my radar screen as things I could do. Time to start looking at things from a different perspective.

I went to Dachau. You can feel the sorrow of the souls there. They recreated some of the beds where they housed the prisoners. You look at them and think "that's not too bad" then you find out they put six people in each one. We thought we'd hit a "museum" in the morning and the HBH that afternoon. Stupid college kids. That was the most somber afternoon of beer drinking of my life. A couple of kids in our group were Jewish and they were even more affected than we were. I'm German and I knew a great Uncle was a member of the SS. Very sobering to know someone in your line could be involved in such atrocities.

Blade · 01-26-2010, 03:57 PM

Learn to play a string instrument
Cruise to Alaska once by boat, once by motorcycle
Retire in the mountains, E. Tenn or Western NC
Find a partner that loves this country boy and country living
I'd like to spend a year camping from state to state and taking in the sites across the US.
Build my dream car

always2late · 01-26-2010, 04:59 PM

Get myself an RV and drive through every state...just seeing everything!

Andrew, Jr. · 01-27-2010, 08:47 AM

One of the things I forgot to mention is getting an RV so I can take my furkids along too. But I want to travel to Alaska via RV. Then sell it. And take a train across Alaska, and cruise back. I want to see the glaciers. Meet the National Geographic skin divers who are documenting the global warming effects on the animals.

Diavolo,

I understand. I have family members who were in the Holocaust and in Poland at the time. One member is still living, and tells us stories about it. Other family members stayed in Europe to live, and never left. We hear from them often, but they never speak of the horrors. It just is an unwritten rule to talk about.

Rosie's step father was in WW2. He helped liberate a concentration camp. Then he was given a leave because he was Jewish. To this day he has violent flashbacks of what he saw. Just horrible.

He was honored at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC when it first opened. We could only make it thru the first level (there are 3). It is just that realistic so nobody forgets what happened. We have gone back since then, and still cannot make it past the first level. It is way too painful. How people can do that to other human beings is beyond me. It makes my heart very sad.

owen4u1904 · 01-27-2010, 09:44 AM

Backpack through France, drink some wine on the way and find out more about my heritage. Both by myself and when my daughter gets older.
Go back to school for what I originally went for-graphics design
Find my soulmate
Somehow lose some weight again....3rd time has to be a charm, right?
Go to Kings Island with my daughter, need to lose the weight first.
Bungee jump again and skydive
Move out of my small town and into a place of my own besides me parents
Finally be able to speak up to my parents and be able to talk to them.

I am sure I will add more...but this is okay for now

That is very cool. Very few people will admit to knowing or even being related to someone who was in the SS, but I think it is important. It's important for me to say "Yes it happened" to invalidate the holocaust denial wingnuts.

Andrew, Jr. · 01-27-2010, 01:02 PM

Diavolo,

Rosie's step father was in the US Army. He was in the infantry. He sat on the back of jeeps and shot a machine gun.

Relatives that I speak of were prisoners of the SS.

I just am not sure how anyone can deny the Holocaust. It blows my mind.

For years this was on my list. Now i'm not so sure. For years of working online my fingers cant take it.

Although I have ridden horses I want to learn how to properly ride. I think this spring I'll take lessons.
