4. Driven a stick shift vehicle?
5. Shot a gun?

I was 23 when I said this to my cousin when he visited me in the hospital. He was making a joke of me almost dying. I already wrote 2 songs, recorded it with my band and were played on air in local fm stations. I'm good. I achieved what most musicians 2x my age failed. That's what I felt until I had kids.

Having kids is probably one of the key "life experiences" I'll miss out on but I think it's one of those things that you won't know you're missing out on until you have the experience. It's all good though. I don't know what else I'm missing out otherwise. Almost been married a couple times and glad I didn't go through with it.

Not crapping on the thread but that list isn’t really filled with real life experiences IMO

 

[I Am Legion]

I only missed 6, 8, 9, 16 and 22 so I guess I'm reasonably well seasoned at 50. Can't see me rectifying those.

Scuba isn't hard on the hips, the rest I may agree with lol!

There was another that was a masculinity one....stuff like fixing a car, hunting, etc. But I wasn't in the mood for all the anti-masculinity soy boy backlash.

I was more thinking:

You’re a parent
You’ve lost a close family member
You’ve lead people professionally
You’ve recovered from a layoff

Etc

Those are real life experiences versus running a 5k or a single skydive.

The physical fight I'm saying no, because the last fight I was in was in 3rd grade. I've come close a bunch of times, and I've had MMA style sparring fights but those were all with friends. So a real street fight where we're angry at each other... I have to say no.

I've had every opportunity, husband does when we're on holiday. I can't even have my face under the shower I get so claustrophobic. Such a shame watching him with the turtles in Barbados and Stingray City in Grand Cayman. I have tried, I just can't do it.

It's funny I have heard the claustrophobia before. When I was diving in Bermuda, I understood a bit. I was 30 feet down and could see all around me....The vast ocean filled with fish. Yet the only thing keeping me alive was this tube in my mouth. Got a hint of the claustrophobia but then it went away, and I experienced a peace like no other. I was PART of the ecosystem for a short time and it was incredible. Maybe snorkeling is more your speed.

Lots of vacation spots have ATV tours and Scuba cert classes. I always try to go to places that offer something fun. I drink enough I need some distractions lol....
