I have never cut the grass. Our riding lawn mower scares me, and seeing my dad zoom around on it like a race car or something, I think he enjoys it too much to give me the privilege. ---

I’ve never played golf, or flicked an entire deck of cards into a hat from t he end of my bed either. I also have NEVER lived alone…preCG I lived with my family and then postCG I was married. I have never gotten my toungue stuck to a pole by licking it while it’s really cold. I’ve never made a snowman. I’ve never been out of the county…not even to Canada. I’ve never owned a dog. I’ve never had a funeral for any of my pets. I’ve never flushed a goldfish(though I did flush a dead Beta fish once). I’ve never kissed someone of the same sex in a sexual way. IDBB ---

I’ve never done any of the following things. I am reasonably certain that I will never do these things. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the things on this list. Some of them I’m too afraid to do; others, I have no interest. Never done any illegal drug. Never flown. Never golfed. (miniature golf does not count) Never played even a hand of Bridge. Never watched any “reality” tv show. My life must seem dull. It isn’t, really. Mona Lott ---
