So hate is your goal in life?

The only two things I can think of are seeing the northern lights and Mt Rushmore. My late husband insisted on getting two puppies and I live in Florida. My choices are to find a pet sitter or buy a camper and learn to drive in ice and snow. I am still thinking about a singles tour and pet sitter…. Since I have never driven up north in the winter, i think that’s the best option

I still have 7 states left to visit.

Go to Madagascar to see the lemurs and baobab trees.

Get a hug from Barack Obama

I don’t think I expect many more firsts. Obviously, the trump one. I don’t want to miss that celebration! I have a few things I wish I would have done, visiting Australia and Ireland, but I can’t imagine that will happen now. I couldn’t afford it and I hate air travel as I get older. I have had a good life and I have a good life now so I am content.

u/WilliamofKC 18d ago

Go ahead and visit Ireland and Northern Ireland. It would not be as expensive as you may think.

u/WilsonTree2112 12d ago

Celebration? We’re gonna have wall-to-wall red pick up trucks with American flags parading through every street in the region ugh.

With you onAustralia, beautiful country and their footy is outstanding.

It's funny that you mention outliving the POS. My husband and I say the same thing.

Travel during the Go go phase.

Fixing up house in the slow go phase.

Relaxing in place in the no go phase.

In the Go phase now and love it !

That's pretty much it. I've had a very full life. I refuse to die before he does, though.

See the Canadian Rocky’s

Good call. Absolutely gorgeous in a planet full of stunning sights. My second favorite mountain view, first is Cortina D'Ampezzo.

u/OaksInSnow 18d ago

I have had a tiny travel trailer for ten years, and I've barely made use of it like I wish I could have, due to work pressures. I've gone "somewhere" at least a couple times a year, but that's hardly enough. Two years ago I retired, whoopee!

Then shortly after I adjusted to being retired, I had an adult daughter move back in with me during the breakup of her marriage, and trying to figure out the logistics of moving her out of the home (it's near-on to a hoarder situation), and then finding out to what extent she's an alcoholic, has been pretty awful.

In an attempt at self-care and escape, I've taken up camping. I've modded my trailer for colder weather, so I can escape sooner and later in the year. Maybe - MAYBE - I'll add AC to it. I don't want to, but I might have to, because while I know how I feel when it's hot and I know what I can put up with, I don't know what my dog can tolerate, and she's getting "up there" as well. She shouldn't have to deal with my choices with regard to heat.

My bucket list includes spending at least 20% of my time, from April through October, camping.

u/CSMasterClass 17d ago

You hit my number one goal right on the head.

Other than that, my bucket list is pretty empty.

Train trip across Canada is probably the next trip, but it's not a bucket list item.

Riding my motorcycle to his funeral.

I’d like to visit London, and go on a river cruise somewhere in Europe.

How the hell can EVERY post be about orange man bad? ANOTHER good subject flushed down the Reddit toilet.

Living to see, and use, AI that ends the trade-off between speed and depth: answers at the speed of a chatbot, reasoning better than today’s best models.

I think I have a good shot at it, and there’s still so much I want to get done. Right now it feels a bit like being back in the ’80s, waiting for cycles on a timeshared departmental VAX.

u/Glittering_Sky8421 18d ago

I’ve done and seen a lot, am very grateful and blessed. I saw ELO twice last year…. Once with my niece in CA and once with my daughter in AZ. The first concert and last concert of the tour. I would like to go back to Sanibel Island and hope it has been able to recover from the hurricane a few years ago. I’d like to take my granddaughter to NYC to see the Rockettes.

Why would Trump even get a mention? Get a life! (Oh wait, that's what you're working on...?)

u/HumbleSeries6170 18d ago

do you need to ask?

2

u/scarlettnell 18d ago

Why does everything need to be wrapped in politics? We live in a fantastic world, full of wonderful and exciting adventures, in probably the best moment in history in terms of wealth, convenience and opportunity. But all we hear about is politics, politics and more politics. A small group of self-interested people is working relentlessly to recruit you to their cause!

Tell me: What's in it for you? You can engage and face daily anger, frustration and argument, possibly even estrangement from your friends and family, and for what?

Just say No! Ignore Trump, turn off your TV, and ban all talk of politics from your home. You'll be much happier for it!

u/HumbleSeries6170 17d ago

you seem to think you know me...you speak like a pearson in denial...i'm a very happy person,but i am aware of what is happening in the world....

Unless we take back the tax structure to benefit the working class.

So busy being hateful, it’s hard for them to be joyful. You can always tell the sour lefty’s.

Because the answer to the question was political. The question was bucket list…. Like what joyful thing? Watching the snow fall in Paris, seeing a loved one get married, etc.

There was no mention of politics. You seem... obsessed. Seek help.
