Every once in awhile I'll see something that makes me suddenly realize that there are so many things that I have NOT done. Not grand and exciting things like backpacking through Europe for a summer or climbing Mt Everest. I'm talking about little, every day type things that we all know about and that we all have some knowledge of. What brought this up for me was this: I was watching "America's Funniest Home Videos". They did a montage of people falling down on sleds and toboggans. It suddenly occurred to me that even though I did attempt skiing with friends once when I was about 12 or 13....I have NEVER been on a sled or a toboggan! In fact, I don't think I've ever even SEEN a sled or a toboggan except on TV. That struck me as a little odd. I mean,, I don't live in a cave and I have lived in snow and I'd hazard a guess that many people I know have experienced riding a toboggan....but it has just never been an opportunity that presented itself to me. I mean, I never avoided doing it....it just never came up. At this point, it would be easy for everyone to start listing all the interesting things that we HAVE done, but for this thread, let's keep it confined to those things that we have NEVER done.

Well I've never been on a sled either in spite of the fact that I grew up in NE Ohio where it gets very snowy. Also, I've never learned to ride a bike or to swim. Up until about five years ago, I had never been out of state and had never been on a plane, which is remarkable because I was in my late 20's. I did make futile attempts to rollerskate, ski and skateboard, but I've never been on ice skates or rollerblades. I've also never been fishing. (I've done lots of fun stuff, mind you, but I'm just not the outdoorsy type and I'm totally unathletic.)

Hey SanFran, good idea for a thread. I don't know why this is the first thing that came to mind but one thing I've never done that most people have is: I've never eaten pork! HeyitsLori, come on down here and remedy that!

Zules - You literally don't know what you're missing! Hmmmmmm.....pork roast...<said in my best Homer voice> But that brings up the realization that I have never tasted caviar. I have never eaten sushi. I have never eaten curry.

I have never scuba dived even though I live 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean. I have never learned to rollerblade. I've never had an older brother or an older sister. I've never water-skied. I've never been up in a colorful hot air balloon over the wine country. I've never been in a helicopter, even though there are two sources within 5 miles of me that offer rides. I have never run in the LA Marathon. I've never been to The Getty Museum.
