White water rafting...it's so on my bucket list

Ooooh. On the subject of bucket lists...mine would include:

Motorcycle trip to Alaska.

A cruise on a real boat, preferably a sailboat, not the 'floating city' cruise ships...if it's got a casino and a mall, it's NOT a boat.

A helicopter ride over some wilderness area. "I've always wanted a ride in one of them fancy helicopters..."
 
Ok, after the last two posts (Jullianna and Nuke) I have revived an old thread I started quite some time ago of the lists of things people have they want to do or accomplish during their time here on earth.

Some of the things I remember listing were, White water rafting the Grand Canyon. (I have been white water rafting before numerous times...but yea...want to do the Colorado in the Grand Canyon.)

I also mentioned learning to said. Its been something I have wanted to do for a very long time.

And also wanted to do a cross country motorcycle trip. MHM...would be pretty fantastic.

Ohhhh, I also had listed flying in a helicopter...how odd is that? lol

Anyhoo...would be neat if the thread takes off again...would be interesting to see what others have to say too. :)

 
To telling the truth; I sometimes have even thought of that I'd wish I could destroy the computer/pc!

I truly can spend so much time online on the pc or sometimes playing a video game, and sometimes this takes so much time from me. I have even had times I know that this is a lot of wasting of time that I could have used a lot better doing other things. Whenever I spend less time on the computer and do more housework and other things that is needed to be done, I most of the time feel like I have a lot more energy and I feel a lot more happier as well. I love being more active, and interacting more with life in general.

I have lately had a lot in mind how lovely it would have been living in a nice and cozy cabine up in the mountains somewhere in the woods, near to a nice water. I would truly enjoy this a lot, and I know that if I wouldn't have any computer/pc nor tv, I would still make more time for other things to do. There is always other things one can do to making a day passing by, and even better; making a day passing by without feeling it all became just a day of waste. :)

And most of all; also doing more of what God has in mind for me and for my future.
 
Saving the world.

If I had chased my dream, I would've been a therapist. :D
 
studying my Math and sciences..... and crotcheting, Knitting or on the phone or sleeping .....I am glad I got to meet ya'll. There has been times when internet has been a bad influence but not now.. I love you guys...... :-)
 
I enjoy beadweaving jewelry using rediculously tiny seed beads, it's a real challenge but I love it. I end up making a lot of gifts for my friends.

I also have been studying Hebrew with a teacher and have found a lot of tools online to help, like Byki and also connected with a couple of people who do a language exchange with me. I help them with English and they help me with Hebrew and it's a lot of fun too.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I love watching movies too.

I'm either doing crazy stuff, or online. There isn't a whole lot in between. I don't even watch TV.

I don't feel like I'm missing anything because being online saves me money.

Totally agree.

My hobby is cooking and gardening, and I spend far more time searching my subscribed blogs for things like tips, recipes, online conversion tables (still having trouble with American imperial system in recipes) than I spend time here. And I save money and time cos I dont have to buy cookbook (unless their really REALLY good).
I admit Im slowly becomming really insensed at every stupid update facebook does to its site and would like to give it up for good, but I stick with it because I have relatives in Canada and its the easiest way to see what theyre up to and vice versa.
