I’ve never seen the Pacific Ocean. I’ve never seen snow-capped mountains. I never learned how to ride a bike. And **misstee** , I hope you just have a nut allergy or something, because otherwise, you’re REALLY missing out. ---

I’ve never been to Europe (unless England counts). I’ve never eaten raw oysters, tongue, dogmeat sukyaki, frog legs,abalone,tripe,pork rinds, kidney pie, hagus, squid…lotsa stuff. And I managed to get…and stay…fat anyway! I’ve never ridden a toboggan. Never skid (Skeed? Skid looks like driving a car sideways on a wet street, and I _have_ done that, though not intentionally). I’ve never been to a hockey game. My life’s been so boring, I think I’ll end it all. 😉 ---

My roommate has never _seen_ a message board on the Internet! I relate these threads to her and she has no idea what I’m talking about! weird. If she was here, that’s what she’d post. I never got my drivers license. Never done a cartwheel. Never downloaded music from the 'net. Never skiied, or snowboarded. Never hunted big game in Africa. And I didn’t see Star Wars - _any_ of them - until I was 15, which wasn’t until the '90s. ---

I have never ran stark naked from a steaming hot sauna through a -25C freeze and jumped to a hole in a frozen lake. (Hey, it’s Finland we’re talking about here…) ---

I’ve never had a snowball fight. I’ve never built a snowman. I’ve never been skiing. I’ve never snowboarded _successfully_. I live closer to Ontario than I do any US state, but I’ve never been to Canada. I’ve never been to a religious event with my parents. ---

I’ve never eated asparagus or broccoli. I’ve never had sex with Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never eaten a toe nail…wait…does chewing count? I didn’t swallow. ---

I have never turned the TV on to watch a football game. (Although, I have walked into the room where someone else is watching one - usually when visiting relatives - but I just walk out again.) I have never used the bus (like Greyhound) to travel to another city. I’ve never travelled somewhere on a train - Disneyland is as close as I’ve come. I’ve never gone to see a live play. ---

I have never used any type of mind altering drug. Alcohol doesn’t count, and neither does that time I took a Viagra just to see what it would do. (that’s not mind altering, that’s…well, you get the point) ---

I have never failed a test. I have never cooked a whole turkey. I have never cooked a holiday dinner (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas). I have never placed a classfied ad. I have never defrosted a freezer. ---

I’ve never been to the ocean. I’ve never seen an expanse of water so great that I could not see the other side. I am going to remedy this in about a month. 🙂 ---
