Hi Susan

 

If you and Rolly want to have Christmas in Hawaii next year you can come on to us for New Year and we can probably do - 40, 46, 27, 24, 25,19, 5 nd 3 off your list. But you will NEVER be 33.

Susan,

 

I did this list about 10 years ago and had put it way afterwards, not to find it again until last year. I was surprised that I was actually able to cross off 20 or so items and I hadn't really consciously tried.

 

I've done 22 things on your list....it pays to be old. :) 2,5,7,12,14,15,16,20,23,24,25,28,30,31,33,35, 36,38,40,43,46,50

Sue,

 

WAS debt free. Got a small mortgage now. I was debt free for most of my adult life until we built the house 3 years ago, so I counted it as "having been there, done that."

No, Sandy, I've got 22. I re-read the list yesterday and remembered having seen "Old Faithful" on one of our trips out west so I added it to my comment.
