"The Bucket List"

Thanks for the recommendation. And this gives me an idea to carry on this thread or start a new one. What if we all jumped in and shared one or two things that were on our bucket list? Is anyone interested? Cookiegirl, I don’t want to take over your thread so what do you think?

Jan, when I saw the post “Bucket List” I had the same thoughts. Great movie, good idea for a new thread. A Bucket List for GBSers/CIDP…
Cookie girl, you go first…

Before I go, I want to fly in a glider, use a chainsaw to cut down a hawthorn tree, and ride a bicycle from Mt. Hood to the coast.

I love flying and I want to be the pilot!

I want to go to Alaska, to fish in a river full of salmon, to watch bears in the wild, to see eagles fly and to see the Northern Lights in all their beauty.

My bucket list:

[LIST]
[*]visit my home country, Germany, one more time
[*]ride in a hot-air balloon
[*]get high on LSD
[/LIST]

Go to a Raven’s football Game
Retire in Bethany Beach, DE and be able to walk on the beach again

I hadnt thought about this before.

I want to watch my son graduate from college and get married. I want to be a grandma and have my grandchildren spend the night so that I can make them home made choc milkshakes and play cards with them and then rub their backs till they fall asleep. If I have a granddaughter, I’ll let her sleep in one of my soft silky nighties, if she wants to…all the things like my granny did with me.

I want to go back to Cancun with my hubby for two weeks instead of one and be able to walk on the beach and stand up in the ocean when the current pulls back.
Actually, I just want to go away with my hubby and have the honeymoon we never did.

I want to live a life not dependent on pain meds.

I want alot.

Cheryl and Stacey and I think alike!

believe it or not I wrote this list right before i came down with gbs in 2003, before there was such a thing called a bucket list..

Of course I want all the normal things a mother wishes for concerning their children..

My list is titled: Things I want to do someday

* Watch the Blue Jackets Hockey team
* See the outdoor drama Tecumseh
* Visit Fenton Glass Factory (which I did April 18, 2008)
* Volunteer at Children’s Hospital
* Have a Body Massage (which I did April 2007)
* Get a Pedicure & Manicure (which I did with my daughter 2-20-08)
* Visit a tropical island
* Swim with the dolphins
* See the whales migrate
* Finish my Bachelor’s Degree
* Design and Decorate a room entirely ( which i did aug 2007)
* Stay at the ocean for at least a month
* Go to Oprah’s Favorite Things Show

I know that’s a lot of things on my list but I was trying to make goals for myself..This piece of paper has hung on my refrigerator since the spring of 2003.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to accomplish everything on the list.

doesn’t anyone else have a bucket list

I always wanted to visit the US.

and also

– travel somewhere together with my sister
– go to watch a motogp race together with my father

I want to add to my bucket list:

I want to

go on a Christmas Wish shopping spree for kids and teens

Bucket List what a great idea!

I want to go on a 10 day cruise with my hubby & entire family.
Be able to WALK on the beach again by myself 🙂

I’m sure there are many more things I could add but need to think about it more.

Isn’t this so fun. I agree with doing something good for someone anonymously and i would love the christmas wish list shopping spree..I used to work for childrens services so there were times that i did get to do that and i have always taken a name off of the angel tree and i loved it..

I am in the Maritimes working and I definitely have to add to my bucket list:

I want to: -see a tall ship just once
-go on a cruise ship ( I saw my first one yesterday!)
-see the Maritimes in the fall when the colors are in full orange and red (they aren’t full yet but still pretty!)

Visit my brothers and sister in France. And have a great reunion.

[B]Frank’s wish was that he would get well enough to ride a Harley.[/B]

– Jessica Alba
– Oktoberfest in Germany
– Mardi Gras in New Orleans

in that order 🙂

only you jerimy only you…lol. I will add jessica alba to my prayer list for you..however sometimes we get what we need and not what we want. but hey we can always dream..

Who is J. A.???:confused: I can handle the Oktoberfest in Germany though!!:D

Let’s see, now if Jerimy gets Jessica, I get Neil Diamond.:D

Go to Broadway and see 10 plays.

Get a sailboat and sail around the entire coasts of the United States.

Go to Ireland/Scotland/Wales with my best friend

Travel down the whole Route 66 in a white corvette.

Be in a Tiger Cruise with my son on an aircraft carrier.

Have a month, week, day, forever of no more pain.

I want to go meet Canada and spend a month on her farm in the plains of Saskatchewan, help her bale hay, feed all the animals, help her plant flowers, help her can, and after the work is done every night, hop on the bikes and head out somewhere and just talk. Oh, we are both NO pain or physical problems of any kind.

There are a couple more cyber buddies I would like to meet, hug, and say thanks for being you.

Maybe Neil could get my mind off the pain by singing and doing the town up.

Emma, Come on down! (or should I say up?) I can put you to work! 😀 But don’t come till summer. Winters can be bitterly cold here and you would not enjoy the -40C!

I want to walk the beach and pick up sea shells and smell the fresh air!
Nice warm breezy day!
it’s cold here this morning.

Go the Austrialia, has been on my list for many years. Looking forward to that trip in the future.

~ live long enough to see marijuana become legal for medicine & recreation.
~ space travel, maybe walk on the moon.
~ meet Stephen Hawking.
~ attend a Burning Man festival.
~ go on an Alaskian cruise with my whole family.
