24 comments:
I got 68 out of 99, but the ones that are left I don't want to do. :) As you stated, I plan on a few other things on a different list.
I enjoyed reading your list. What a fun thing to post. I'm so glad you visited me--after your beautiful Halloween poem, I want to remember to come back and visit. I'm adding you to my blogroll so others can do the same.
Take care :)
Fun post!! I love learning about others through these memes.
I just may have to "steal" this one for my blog. Vesper, quick! Look over there! At Jason's blog! (snitch) Oh, you didn't see anything?! That's too bad... (snicker)
;)
Wow! That's an interesting list.
You've never been stung by a bee? Not that I wish it on you, but I've never met anyone who hasn't been stung once...
Killed and prepared an animal for eating.. EW!
I hope we get to do all that we want, Bernard. :-)
Thank you, L.A.! I've had you on a bookmark ever since I first visited you. I, too, have a deep interest in Time...
Aine, yes, I thought that too. :-)
Yes, yes, indeed, what a nice blog Jason has...
:-) :-) :-)
Chris, yes, I don't remember ever being stung by a bee...
But isn't No. 98 even stranger? :-) :-) :-)
I might put this up on my blog at some point. I think I'm a bit ahead of you but not by much.
C'mon Chica...you've never owned a cell phone(98)? Is that why you're on the pay phone? I got some on the list and missed others, mostly those that required excessive kindness or them that required travel outside the lower 48. ;-}
Haven't you had cell phone? It sounds weird. I mean around me everyone has.
*I am inadequate to express myself in a literal way. I always picked simple solutions so I have let Shakespeare use eloquent words.
Very interesting :D

No idea how many there are :D
Quite a lot of them where American based - though I have been to Florida I never saw the Everglades.
I'm shocked, shocked Vesper (#23)! ;)
Which one do you most wish to do next?
We have a lot of overlap here. And yes, I'm definitely swiping this from you (hey--Aine did it first!). :)
Great list! Thanks for sharing!!
I hope you do, Charles! I'm curious to see your answers. :-)
Indeed, Mark, I've never owned a cell phone. :-) :-) :-) I do not need one and I intend to resist getting one as long as possible. ;-)
It does sound weird, Ropi, doesn't it? Especially in today's world when every school child has one. :-)
Thank you for sharing yours, Miladysa. Wow, an intersting list!
Sarah, hmmm, No. 23, I was considering for a long time... shall I admit to this or not? :-) :-) :-)
Please swipe it - I'll look again at Jason's blog... ;-)
I'm looking forward to seeing your list.
see my page for your award....
45 out of a 100 for me - this is a really neat way of finding out more about someone - but have you really never owned a cell phone? Kudos to you if you haven't!
xxx
never been stung by a bee?
Really? I consider bees quite calm and don't worry over them, but as I child I stepped on one and got stung. My son kneeled on one and got stung. Really never ever ever been bee stung? Okay I read your response to others, wow.
Most of that list I haven't done (but of course I do have the bee sting)
Hello Vesper! Loved this post. Great fun. And if you stole it, so much the better. Remember, all great fortunes begin with a crime.
I did notice, however, that almost all of the items were so... civilized, you see what I mean and most were quite laudable. Maybe I suggest that you create a new list for those that are more wicked?
Hello again, Vesper. Would you mind terribly if I included a link to your blog on my site?
I must agree with Mr. Moore. We need a new list for those of us who have lead a slightly less tasteful lifesyle ;)
I mean, there are a few major things left out of this list.
"Thrown up on a friend while drunk"
"Gotten into a fist fight with a total stranger"
"Been Arrested"
These are the things we NEED to know! lol
I've done quite a few of them. The only one I'm really proud of is number 89; and oddly enough, that same situation also allowed me to experience the second and third items of my small list.
The first item was completed long before, lol.
Great post...I'm going to pinch it too! Might change a few things though, to make it UK friendly!!
xx
I had 43. I wish I could've said that I have seen Michaelangelo's David, Visited Africa, or seen the Sistine Chapel in person, instead of - been stung by a bee, had food poisoning, and had chickenpox! But there you have it...great fun, Vesper! ;P
Thanks, Laughingwolf!
Vanilla, yes, never, and I’m proud of this! :-)
xoxoxo
Taffiny, no bee sting… I’m very afraid of them, their humming frightens me more than many other things.
Hey, Rick, I’m sorry to disappoint you... :-) I’ll try to live a more “criminal” life… :-) I’d be honoured if you added a link to my blog on your site. Of course, I’ve done that for your blog without asking for permission.
And I think you’d be a much better person to come up with the “wicked” list. I’m looking forward to it.
:-) :-) :-)
Will, yeah, this list is rather unilateral. Please, team up with Rick! I’ll be thrilled to show my answers here, if you come up with something. :-)
Go for it, Akasha! It's always interesting to find out new things about your blogging friends.:-)
K., this list is cheating a bit, because it's enough to go to Italy once and you can tick off four of five of the items on it.
But if you had fun with it, I'm glad ! :-)
Uh-oh, my reputation has caught up with me! The "Wicked List?" Hmmmm. Perhaps I should refer that to the Sternberg Department after his most recent posting on "A Goldfish, A Man in Black, and a Train." I hope we get to him before the authorities do.
A "Wicked List?" Yes, of course, and then the "Never Been Caught List!" Vesper, we might building a publishing empire out of these lists...
Oh yes, Vesper... so much to do, and so little time!
Go! On to the next thing, and the next after that! Never stop.
