[GOPisEvil]

1. Learn to fly.

I've always been into airplanes.

[MonkeyFunk]

3. Flying is easy.

Landing is a bitch however.

[MissBrooks]

29. It's never too late...

It's never too late...
I know a woman who started taking flying lessons when she was 72 years old.

If you really want to learn something... go for it.

2. Fly on the Concorde -------I waited too long!

[liberalhistorian]

4. I've always wanted to know

what it's like to have "the love of my life", to truly love and be truly loved in return. Maybe someday, SIGH. ]

Don't mind me, I'm going through my annual holiday season I-hate-being-single mood. This, too, shall pass, hopefully by January 2. Then again, I turn forty on January 3, so maybe not, lol!

[MonkeyFunk]

6. Don't fret.

I've known several people who didn't find "the one" until after 40. I think the trick is to stop looking first.

[CO Liberal]

5. Marry a Princess

Oh, wait - I did.

[terrya]

7. Ride in a hot air balloon.

Maybe I will someday. I've wanted to do that...:-)

Never did get back to it...

[derbstyron]

8. climb Mt Everest

It seems like something I would be proud of accomplishing.

[MonkeyFunk]

9. Yikes. I'm happy just climbing two flights of stairs without wheezing.

Perhaps I'll quit smoking for my New Year's resolution.

[derbstyron]

12. LOL. I "would like to"

Trust me, it aint happening!

[Blue in a Red State]

After reading about the 1996 expedition, I'm really creeped at the thought of Everest...

If so, I forgot about that!

13. go to Paris

maybe someday. I would go now but it would suck without a significant other to share it with.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. Perhaps your significant other resides in Paris?

What are you waiting for?

[Nicole]

18. Damn!

That's where he is!

[KeepItReal]

41. My last trip there was without a significant other...you learn to adjust

Paris is too good to miss. See it for yourself...alone if you must. You might even meet somone there. I did - only my last day, no less.

a real runner, someone who runs every day, long distances and loves it – I admire the discipline and think runner’s bodies are so beautiful.

[Straight Shooter]

23. Dress exotically and ride on the Orient Express with a mystery writer

Spend the days drinking cordials and playing poker, and spend the nights playing who-dunnit.
