**I have never been to Vegas.**  
\*\*  
I have missed church for more than 2 weeks, and find it highly hard to believe that one could be sure they hadn’t, including when they were a baby. \*\* :dubious:

Ok, bar it is. But remember to toast to the “Big Bud in the Sky” next time you’re having a round.

I’m still keeping your worms though, since I doubt you went much to bars as a kid 😃

**I have never been to Vegas.** (And from all I’ve heard, I don’t think I’m missing much.)

**I’ve gone more than two weeks without going to a Catholic mass.** In fact, about the only time I go is for Christmas mass.

Hey, that’s a good point - probably applies to the State Fair one, too. What if your parents didn’t take you when you were a baby?

Anyways, **I’ve never been to Vegas**

**But I’ve never been to Church, either**

FWIW, I grew up less than 1 mile north of Indiana’s state fairgrounds, and I know that I’ve been every year since I was a fetus.

Back on topic …

\*\*Never have I ever been to Las Vegas.

I don’t go to church unless there’s a wedding.\*\*

Since? SINCE? Don’t tell me you’re gonna start this ‘life begins at birth’ nonsense. I demand photographic evidence of your pregnant mother holding a deep-fried twinkie on a Ferris wheel, or it didn’t happen.

OK, here I am with my answers!

\*\*  
I have met several Dopers in real life … I think ShibbOleth is the only currently active one though.

I have had sex with more than one person in my entire lifetime. Sue me, I’ve been married twice. 😛

I have seen the original Star Wars (1977) in its entirety. Mercy. I was in high school. We ALL saw it 23,408 times!

Never Have I Ever seen the Pacific Ocean. See, I don’t get around much! 😉

I have missed attending my state’s annual fair. Ok, am I doing this right? I’ve been to the state fair numerous times, but I don’t go every single solitary year without fail.

I’ve bought an adult magazine. A _Playgirl_, in college. Ho-hum.

I’ve ridden a bicycle without training wheels. I can’t think if I ever have ridden one WITH training wheels!

I’ve owned numerous motor vehicles. In fact, we’re going shopping for one today! Probably we’ll buy a Prius.

I have owned a flat-panel TV or monitor. Please don’t ask me how many computers we have. It’s embarrassing. (My husband is in IT.)

Never have I ever used an airplane lavatory. Finally, something I haven’t done! I’ve only been on a plane twice.

Never Have I Ever been to Las Vegas. And you can’t make me! I have no desire to go.

I have gone more than 2 weeks without going to church, unfortunately. I try to attend _religiously_. I’m pretty sure I skipped several weeks after one or more of my children were born.  
WHEW!

What happens in Vegas, happens without me. I wouldn’t mind going sometime, mind you, but **I’ve not been there yet**.

_I was brought up a heathen and have remained one into my adulthood_\*.

( \* or, if you’re my Mamaw, a “heathe-urn.” That was her favorite term of endearment for us grandkids. )

Las Vegas: **Yes, one night en route to San Diego.**

Ok, ok… let’s round off the second round with **Idle Thought’s**

**Never Have I Ever owned a cell phone**

**I’ve had one for more than 10 years and for the last 5 it’s been all I use.**

And hey! Time to send in your statements for the next round now!
