Things to do before you die

No 49: Visit an NHS dentist and ask him to drill REALLY deep into an upper tooth (without anaesthetic) to see how far up the drill can go.

I’ve achieved immortality so can afford to take my time over life’s pleasures.

Beautiful sentiments, Mary.

When I was younger, I should have made a list of “100 Things NOT to do Before You Die.” Would have saved me a bit of trouble. Definitely wouldn’t have taken a swig of that Aqua Velva just because I was high and it was being passed around.:shock:

While I think we all get the idea of doing a few exciting things before we kick the bucket, it has been my experience that the very best things just happen. They are more a by-product of being open to one’s life. Things like making love outside, because you are with someone you love, and it seems right to be sharing that kind of intimacy at that moment. You can’t plan for that, but what an affirmation of oneself it can be. Walking around in your yard on an early morning, your pajamas still on, with your bare feet feeling enlivened by the wet dew…it is like a visitation from life itself. It’s like “Yeah, that’s what the earth feels like.”

Really, a list of things one should do before dying is rather contrived. The things on that list become like chores that have to be ticked off.

-Go on a balloon ride…check.

-Jump out of a plane…check.

-walk across a pond on the backs of alligators…check.

It’s really making a “to-do” out of a to do list; and in so doing we may miss out a more meaningful journey.

The Liam Neeson flick? Unusually for these things, I believe, it was actually mighty Caledonia that featured. Lots of similar productions are filmed in bog-trotting Ireland. A cruel twist indeed.

I know… I only found out whilst googling the rob roy locations that braveheart was filmed in Ireland.

What I also thought was great was that apart from only two actors, the crew and cast in rob roy were all Scots… nice to hear.

We watched it the other night, and whilst it was a simple plot, and very easy to follow, I spent most of the time scenery watching… some very beautiful locations, and not worlds away either.
