Move halfway across the country. (well after I move back home that is). Moved to Seattle from Anchorage in 2010, then from Seattle to Colorado in March of this year. If I’m still as homesick as I am now in 3-5 years (if I ever financially recover from those moves :D), I’ll never move again once I get back home to Anchorage.

Ride a Greyhound bus. I’ve been only been on one once, well twice but the first one doesn’t really count because I was about 9 or 10 and it was kind of fun/kind of boring. The second time, when I was an adult was…horrific (though the experience did make for funny stories and bragging rights :D). My 10 year old self was wrong! It is hell.

Not enough smilies or explanation points, Amens, or “this!'s” for this one. I’m from a state where it’s like state law or something that you have to love camping/fishing/hunting etc.

I never liked it, EVER. I got dragged along to every family camping outing that ever was. And even as a kid my opinion was “this is housework, only worse”. Not to mention, there’s NOTHING TO DO. And no, staring into a fire isn’t “doing something,” nor is gutting fish, washing pans in a glacier temperature stream (literally), gathering wood, poking at the tarp so that the rainwater doesn’t gather and collapse it, and so on and so forth. Thank goodness I’m a reader or I would have died from boredom as a teenager.

Vegas, the Luxor, now THAT’S a vacation. 😃

Not quite. I live in a SRO hotel for people with mental health issues. As I have mention already, I have no interest in intimacy and I just don’t want a TV. What I would like is a new computer and a kitten, but have no money for either of them.

More things I’ll never do again:

[li]Smoke a cigarette[/li][li]Smoke weed[/li][li]Drink alcohol[/li][li]Buy a bag-less vacuum[/li][li]Have long hair[/li][/ul]

I don’t get the manual transmission hate, it’s the only thing I’ll drive with pleasure.

It was xmas 2011; my post got his snark reply which led to an avalanche of his fan pile-on posts. He did nothing to stop it & all his Martinettes stayed in his good graces. Tell me: was that worth 3 posters Badgering me like Asshats to hear? Really…?

And **AndNoClueboy** is just out-and-out blocked. That level of whiny feet stamping entitlement should be below the range of human hearing and never ever rewarded.
