Been to Europe
Been to Canada
Been to either of the "other two" Americas (Central or South)
Had a Mani OR a Pedi (or both)
Been to a nude beach or resort (drove by one a few times on the way to/from my Sister's though... LOL)
Wow... when it comes to things I HAVEN'T done... it's hard. I'm sure if others were to ask, there would be many things I haven't done... but to actually list them off the top of my head?

That's why I just based mine on what had already been posted.
Been to off the North American Continent (Is the Caribbean North America?)
Been divorced
Been pregnant
Flown a plane or helicopter
Been skydiving
arrested
Never shoplifted.
Never had a mani or pedi. Considering the mani, though.
Don't think I will ever go on a roller coaster again, though. Dying of a heart attack going up that first hill is not my idea of a good time.

LOL... problem with that, for me, though is... I've done all of those... excluding the Mani/Pedi
ETA: I'm not proud of the shoplifting... but I DID do it, and honesty requires that I not say "I've never shoplifted"... I was a young, stupid kid... and did it on a dare.

Add me to that young and dumb kid. Except I did it more than once. First time was a dare and I was 9. The rest was the adrenaline rush. Never got caught. I was a klepto until about age 15. Mostly small stuff like candy bars and gum from a local convenience store but occasionally larger items like clothes.
But I did "repay" my misdeeds after I got older.

I have never been with two men at once.
I have never been to Antartica or the Arctic
I would never ever sky dive or bungy jump or flown a plane but everything else you all have mentioned I have done.
I've never done drugs, not even pot.
I've never shoplifted.
I've never had sex with two men at once.
I've never had sex with a woman.
I've never jumped from the bungy
I've never PAID for "First Class" (but I did get "bumped up" once because of a mechanical failure in my seat belt. I didn't get "the full treatment"... but the bigger seat was nice).
I've never been pregnant (not likely that I'm ever going to be either... LOL)
I've never been with two women at once (yet... there's always hope though ).
I've never intentionally given an inaccurate answer to a question asked of me on-line.

I have never cheated on a boyfriend or spouse.
I have never had jury duty
I have never had any sort of ticket like a moving violation or a real parking ticket (I have had stupid ones on private property or college but those don't count to me).
I have never owned a cat and never will (allergies and not that fond of them)
I would be okay with jury duty if it was at certain times. Like when the kids are at school and I did not have anything conflicting like a vacation or a doctors appt or IEP meeting or something like that I could not reschedule.
I always find courts super interesting. I guess I might get bored with it if I had to do it every day but since I am like a gossip, I find the airing of grievances that goes on at court amusing. Sometimes it is like an episode of Jerry Springer in family court.
But I have a feeling I will never be called. I think the government probably listens in on phone calls and tracks internet activity and they know I am crazy and would not want me as a juror.
My mom is an expert juror. She has been called over 10 times in her life including two grand juries.

I've never seen Titanic. I've never had a Big Mac. I've never been divorced. I've never been with a woman. I've never even gotten a notice for jury duty.
Never shoplifted, but was arrested as an accessory when a friend did. Charges dropped, thank goodness.

Never been to a murder mystery dinner but have always wanted to
Never had plastic surgery of any kind
Never had an accidental pregnancy
Never walked out on a tab at a restaurant on purpose or on accident
Never forgot to pick my kids up somewhere or left them somewhere by accident
Never skydived
I've never seen a real drag race or funny car race.
I've never killed anyone.
I've never been interviewed on TV.
I've never been to Florida - which according to a woman I worked with makes me some kind of freak.
Lol, I have even acted in a murder mystery. I had friends that owned a company that did that and they needed a fill-in one night and knew I had done some stage work :)
After seeing some others, I have got to add a few to my list...
I've never...
killed anyone
skydived (another one I'd be willing to try though!)
walked out on a bill
had plastic surgery
been divorced
SERVED Jury Duty (did get picked/notified to appear in "the pool", but was never selected as a juror)
cheated on a girlfriend or spouse
been to any State West of Texas
been to Antarctica (and have no desire to either... WAY too cold for this Southern Boy!)
been to Australia or New Zealand (I did send mail to Australia once... that probably doesn't count though)

My dh and I have never seen Titanic. He hasn't even seen ET!
I thought I was the only one! I'm oddly proud of that particular fact...
Trust me, the movie is WAY overrated!
flan
agree. The love story part bugs me. I think Rose came across kinda as a slut. She slept with some guy she just met when she was engaged. At least have the decency to break up with Cal first before sleeping with this guy you just met. It is Romeo and Juliet ish in that they barely knew each other but it was supposed to be some epic love. I also don't understand why the woman threw the necklace in the ocean at the end. It belonged in a museum or could have donated it to charity or something! That was just wasteful!
I did however like the cool effects and the stuff related to the ship sinking and the other characters a lot.
I haven't done several of the things already mentioned - shoplifted, been divorced or skydived. I also have never eaten snails or ridden a camel.
I did grand jury duty a couple of years ago. It was better than regular jury duty, because it was set days each week for three months. There wasn't any calling each Sunday to check in or sitting around waiting involved. We went in, went over the cases, voted, then gave the indictments to the judge and usually were on our way by 1. I'd volunteer to sit on a grand jury in a heartbeat.
My mom did grand jury twice and she liked it too except it was about a 3 hour drive from her house in the capital city so she had to drive down there. But the bonus was they put her up in a fancy hotel that she said was very nice while she stayed there and gave her some money for gas and always provided lunch.
The bad part was she had to do things like look at child porn and hear about all kinds of in corrupt dealings with politicians.

been divorced
had sex with two men at once
had sex with a woman
skydived
traveled outside the U.S.
been on a jury
been so drunk that I passed out
had a planned pregnancy
had plastic surgery
killed anyone
done illegal drugs
seen "Caddyshack" (which I'm told should be a crime)
The list of movies I've never seen is quite long. I told a friend and my boss they need to just write a list. Caddyshack would get vetoed right off. Life is too short for crappy movies.

Caddyshack is a classic in the Crap Genre. It really is very funny. You should give it a few minutes if you come across it on television.
Here's one: I've never seen Jaws, just bits and pieces.
I have never seen Jaws either but I do recognize the music.
Out of your list AQ, the one that shocks me the most is that you have never traveled outside the US!
Really? May I ask why?
I'm not much for traveling...I like best to stay home with my books and lots of quiet...but, in the past five years, I have done quite a bit of traveling in the U.S. VGpa and I got our passports last year so now I could travel outside the country if the opportunity arises.

I have not had much contact with people that have not traveled much and most feel it is an intregal part of expanding their horizons and growing as a person. I'm talking IRL not the boards. Maybe because my parents traveled 1/2 across the world to move to Canada and I had visited 3 continents before I was 5?
My dad was disappointed that I chose to work as soon as I finished school instead of traveling for a year. I regret I didn't! I was in such a hurry to get my life started that I didn't realize how enriched my life would have been had I taken the time to explore the world.
You've never had the urge to see any of the world outside of your own backyard?
If Canada was not so close to me, I would not have traveled outside the US either. Growing up, all vacations involved driving and camping. Now, while it would be 'cool' to see the castles in Europe, or the Sahara, or whatever, it's not practical from a money, time, or 'be sick for 9 hours on a plane' perspective.
There's more than enough places I haven't seen yet in the US if I have money and time for travel.

You've never had the urge to see any of the world outside of your own backyard?
As one who has traveled numerous times over the last 40 years outside my country of birth and who grew up in a home with parents from another country/culture, my belief is that if one wishes to expand his/her horizons and grow as a person, it can be done, and done quite nicely, from one's own backyard, if you are an opened-minded, curious individual to begin with. I don't believe there is anything lacking in someone who prefers to expand their minds and grow in ways that are different nor do I believe that traveling outside one's country necessarily means one is an open person or one who has experienced growth. I've know too many people who have traveled the world with a closed mind-set and are just as limited and ignorant when they return to their own country as when they left. It makes me wonder why they even bothered.

I completely agree with you and strongly second this. (not the part about having traveled extensively over 40 years etc)
I've never seen a place and been turned off from visiting it. That's because they only show a small portion of the country. I think every country has something wonderful to offer. Much like how I view people.
