Michael Moore Tweeted this today which got me thinking:
Things I've never done: Skydiving, eaten lamb, worn loafers, sewn, laid linoleum, had a manicure, met Obama, voted for a Republican.
So let's look at his first and I'll reply. No, I have never gone skydiving and never, even when I was young, had a desire to.
Yes, I've eaten lamb and enjoy it. As a young girl, I was always fascinated with mint jelly and didn't quite get why it didn't work on a peanut butter sandwich.
I spent the majority of my junior high and high school years in loafers.
Of course, I've sewn, having been a victim of the now ancient "Home Economics" where we learned to sew and had to make a skirt and then wear it to school for "skirt day" -- it was pitiful, and after the one wearing, my was thrown away. I used to mend stuff, but now rarely do so.
I have not laid linoleum, but I have done some limited tile work.
I have dozens of manicures, and pedicures, and parafin manicures, and spa pedicures and any and all mani/pedi known to humankind.
Never met Obama, but I did see Bill Clinton once.
I cast one vote for a Republican in my life, and that's when I voted the first time for Rudy Guiliani for mayor. Can't believe it now that I did that, but he was actually a good mayor at first. I was saying to someone just the other day that during 9/11 and the days that followed, he was actually a comforting presence until he got weird and took a real hard turn to the right.
Michael Moore listed eight things he's never done and so I'll try for eight myself.
I have never eaten trout.
I have never run in a marathon. (Hey, that's a big surprise to all, right?)
I have never been arrested.
I have never been to South America. (yes to Asia, Africa, Europe)
I have never been married.
Hmmmm... this is harder than I thought.
I have never driven cross country -- I've been a passenger as a child cross country, but never actually driven.
I have never been on television. (Radio, yes)
I have never had stitches anywhere but my mouth.
Ok, someone add something to their own list.

Yes, but Melissa has a harrowing story of hiking in and out of the Grand Canyon in one day and it damn near killed her. Rather than "in and out" I should say "down and back up." So that's something I've never done, and never will do!
