The things that I've done are in
1. Used real snow to make/eat a snow cone

50. Gone on a cruise
51. Remember where you were the day the Challenger exploded. (Sadly enough, I don't remember which one this was - but I remember where I was when both of the shuttles exploded, so it counts. The first one I was home watching the lift-off; the second one I was at work and it exploded practically overhead. The building shook.)
Well obviously from looking at this list I need to get out more. I also have a tag from Lis (yes sweetie, I finally saw it - you need to tell me these things) that I'll do later on in the week.

*blush* You know I can't even remember which one I tagged you on lol I think my mind took off with the nekkid muses and left me behind :o/
Yeah, they do the same thing to me too.
Okay - I have to work in the morning, so y'all are on your own.
Very interesting meme. I liked it though.What recipe did you invent?
Interesting list, Bailey! Thanks for doing it. And I'm with Brandy: recipe?
It's just for a mild chili - Glenice likes it, but it's really no big deal. And I know that a lot of people , Kate for instance, dabble with recipes, changing things to fit into what they would eat. I think that should count too.
Fun list - mine is on my blog
For me, it was Stephen King's "IT". I don't think he meant to harm the livelihood of clowns in general, but IT probably did!
LOL at Stephen King. Mine was IT. That man knows how to write scary!
Oh now, my favorite Stephen King book is It, but I read it after The Shining - which is the book that made me get the cross and the dog. It has a funny story all on it's own - will tell it sometime.
Home from work, but now I have to find something to eat and then go deal with my sister - who has been moved to a nursing home close to me so that I can visit her more often - do I sound thrilled? NOT!
Cool list! Actually, I've done many of the things that you've mentioned. As for your question, it's so nice of you to remember...
Great list. I've done a lot of the things too. I'm wishing you a Happy New Year full of blessings, Bailey. Take care!
Ohh--like that one :)
Great list! I'm going to post it to my blog today. :)
HEY NOW, if you're gonna take my name in vain on your blog, I think you oughta tell me about it 1st!! (Disclaimer - my dad built race car engines & I did a LOT of time at the race track. It's not my fault!!!!)
I thought that I'd list the ones that have a different answer from yours. Still can't do the HTML tags.
1. Used real snow to make/eat a snow cone. Well, that's a given when you have almost 8 months with snow a year.
No 4. or 7. in my memory.
8. Actually did after one pair of favorites wore out. Bought 2 pairs of next ones in different colors.
14. Have no Congressman and have only signed petitions to my Member of Parliament or Ontario equivalent.
15. Changed political parties.
16. Not that I can remember.
17. Worn mismatched shoes by accident--in Paris no less. Did the sock thing the other day because I couldn't find the match to the first one I put on
28. Painted a house interior or exterior? If interior, then yes.
30. Seen the Mona Lisa
38. Seen Mt. Rushmore
40. Tried a food you always thought was gross and discovered you loved it (sashimi)(snails too but they were just ok.)
45. Mine were TV too: Adam West (Batman); Linda Evans (Big Valley)
Got autographs.
46. Seen the Queen of England in person
49. I've never read a Stephen King book. I usually avoid horror books.
51. I know I was at the White Oaks Mall when I saw pictures of the Challenger's explosion on a TV set. I was attracted because so many people were standing there.
Kind of fun to answer. Of course, you can make up any kind of list.
Belated Happy Birthday, Olga.
I just realized I missed my niece's as well. Hers was Dec. 31.
I had one nephew on Dec. 11 and niece's younger brother on Dec. 21. He was born the day the Pan Am flight exploded over Scotland.
BTW, the Challenger was the one that blew up on takeoff. I think the other was Columbia or was it Discovery.
