I've never written my name in wet concrete or cement.

But that's gonna change in a few weeks. :D

I never completed high school. I have never gone bungee jumping, but I probably never will! I have never played volleyball or basketball, or watched most common TV shows, including Survivor, the Game of Thrones and the X-Files.

I've never had a pedicure, I do my own. I've never plucked a chicken, gotten a tattoo, worn glasses - although I'm struggling now to read the labels at the grocery store so I think its time ;) I've never had a reptile for a pet or lived with anyone who did, never ice skated or sung karaoke. I've never watched Twilight and the movie was filmed 100 miles from here in a little town I've driven through many times.

I have never eaten raw oysters although I had the opportunity when on business in New Orleans.

I have not been in the armed services although i was draft bait during the Korean Conflict.

I've never ridden a mechanical bull. And don't laugh, I think it looks fun!

I'm in no condition to do it now, but I should have when I was younger.

Scott/Pawprint - you crack me up. What happened with your Ambien? You were posting in the middle of the night yesterday, too. I'm flying to Columbus next week to visit my family and can't wait - it's been over a year. Hope your dogs are behaving well.

i have never had a massage or a driver's license, nor drank a drop of Mountain Dew and I have never done a somersault or skinny dipped

I have never had a prostate exam, gotten a circumcision, or worn an athletic cup. kidding!!!! I'm not telling on myself. I've eaten/drunk what those of you haven't. I've even eaten squirrel and squid. Not together of course. Ew. What a weird surf and turf that'd be.

Have never sky dived or bungee jumped (fear of edges) or eaten escargot but I've done a lot of other adventurous things, including just about everything else you all have mentioned so far! I used to rappel off cliffs & climb back up on ropes and do the same inside caves which is something considering my fear of edges but I was much younger.

There are definitely limits to what I will eat, but I do eat & enjoy sushi and have eaten frog legs, and a few other things. I'm not a TV junkie so haven't watched a lot of the current things like Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, etc. Maybe one day when I have time to do so I'll try an episode.

I've never had a child.

I've never had an operation or stayed overnight in the hospital.

I never learned how to swim.

I've never seen a Star Wars or James Bond movie.

Never had a manicure, pedicure, massage or tattoo.

I've never seen the Lion King. No kids, no grand kids so never really decided to sit and watch it. We've discussed it though and perhaps one day.

I've never had macaroni and cheese.

Never spent a night in jail!

I have never watched Star Wars.

Never personally owned a dog. We had them as family pets as a child.

Never spent over $50 eating out at a restaurant, for two. Never paid more than $28 for a purse.

Edited: Just purchased a "used" Coach purse :0)

Have never learned to play Chess, and think it's now too late.

Wow - so interesting! I think that there was a thread similar to this a few years ago and it's fun to revisit it. Some of the things mentioned don't seem all that "common" to me, but I'm also surprised by some of the more common things that some have never done. Not judgmental at all; just interesting.

For me, done an awful lot of things, but, thinking of common things, have never physically had a baby, have never graduated college. Probably lots more, but that's what I've got at the moment.

Never been to Europe

No tatoos

Never been to Yosemite or Yellow Stone National Parks.

Never been to a popular play or show

Never had a tattoo or piercing of any kind, never did drugs, never smoked a cigarette, never been to Europe, never been on an airplane, never seen a Disney movie since my kids were little.

Wow, I eat seafood at every chance I can and sushi is My. Favorite. Food. But, like some others above:

I've never watched a single episode of: Sex and the City, Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, etc.

Here's my new one, special for Houzz:

I've never wished I had a dishwasher (though I can't say I've never used one).

I've never colored my hair. Had my first grays at age 18. We turn gray early in my family. Mom was never without hair color. It freaked her out her daughter had gray hair and hers was "brown". Mom would say, "Haven't you ever heard of Miss Clairol?" I'm 66 now and have kept my hair long. I wear it in a gray braid down my back.

I'm going to be one of those old women who rock on the porch and all the neighborhood kids will be frightened of the "witch". I'll also have 100 cats. LOL

Kessala

I've never died. It's certainly something I don't want to participate in, but that's a decision that's not mine to make.

I've never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (Just peanut butter only.)

I never color my gray hair either and my mother died at 92 with brown hair. (dyed of course)

No babies, but not for lack of wanting.

No sex before marriage (ditto the above).

No good at math or music, but have been told I have a 'logical' mind -- sometimes with the addition of "for a woman". (Don't start!)

No drugs, tattoos, piercings, bikinis, arrests. (Arrests are 'common'?)

No scuba, hot air ballooning, parasailing, but I have been a guest for a ride in the Goodyear blimp.

No interest in anyone covered by People magazine, but fascinated by real people.

No interest in cooking, baking, or sewing beyond 'the necessary'.

No interest in pop music.

No interest in professional sports beyond DH's interest in baseball and football.

I have never kissed on a first date.

I've never tried to have any of my books, stories and poems published though my head, cell phone writing pad and computer are chock full of them. Can't call myself a writer until someone else does right? Secretly I do though.

I think I'd get kicked out of having Danish in me if I didn't make Risalamande, rice and almond pudding. It's a Danish traditional dessert served with cherry sauce.

I've done all the yard, TV and food things others haven't done except body art of any kind, hair dying and tree creature eating. :)

Pudgeder... but I've been to Oklahoma... actually NOT, but saw a Dog Night reference and jumped on it.

Have never had "sushi"... actually never what has raw fish in it, which is NOT necessarily sushi, if I understand correctly? I think sashimi is the stuff with raw fish in it?
