Have You Ever?

Have you ever….? Our very own Ami challenged us all.

1.     Stood on top of a very high mountain or cliff, looking down at countryside, or out to sea? Yes....I just have no clue if this is considered a large cliff, high mountain....or what? 

     I have stood many times at the edge of Starved Rock. I must say that it is quite disconcerting looking over the edge. 

     

    Years ago we also traveled to Custer State Park in South Dakota.When we were hiking the guys took the kids close to the edge....Ahhh I couldn't even look!

2.     Lay on your back on a hot summer's night, listening to the crickets chirping, and watching the satellites as they chase each other across the heavens?Absolutely, many a summer night!

3.     Skinny-dipped at midnight? Never! LOL!One day!

4.     Intentionally or inadvertently swum with sharks? Not that I know about.

5.     Broken a bone in your body? Yes my right pinky toe. Picture me on vacation holding a young baby at 3:00 AM in the morning....walking past the pull out couch my toe caught the iron...OUCH!

6.     Driven a car at speeds in excess of 120 mph? (yes, I know it's illegal, but the motorway was very quiet at the time) NOPE NEVER....Although I did ask a guy I had met at a pub if I could drive his jazzed up car...Pushed my foot down on the gas and pretty much lost control because of the speed.....He turned green....I think I almost passed out! Needless to say....I am not a speed demon!

    7.     Played "Pooh Sticks"? Never.

8.     Run in a "Pancake" race? Nope... A wheel barrel race, three legged race...yes. 

9.     Had your eyelashes dyed? No....never even considered it.

 

10.  Ridden a horse naked? Never! When I read this one I thought....that seems to be pretty erotic. I mean....maybe I am naive, but the position seems.....and the bouncing.....! I am afraid of horses anyway.

11. Punted down the River Cam? (or any other river ) Do Not even know what that means! I am going to say no. Although I have toppled a canoe my Scotsman and I were paddling. I was being cheeky, stood up, and over we went in the middle of a small lake.  

12. Played tennis in a short white tennis skirt while wearing minimal knickers? No. Played tennis in skorts....

13. Helped an inebriated husband up the stairs at 2 in the morning? Yes to helping an inebriated husband to bed. Many moons ago!

14. Been too scared to get out of a swimming pool whilst on holiday, due to a very large Doberman sitting on the edge watching you? (no-one was around at the time) Never.

15. Sat in a deckchair snoozing happily whilst the sound of leather on willow echoes distantly in your ears? No

16. Taken a ride on the Maid of the Mist under the Niagara Falls? I have been to Niagara Falls many times but never went on the Maid of the Mist.

17. Climbed up something - rockface, climbing wall, rope in a sports hall, long ladder, tree - and been too scared witless to climb back down? Many, many times. I am afraid of heights. I get that feeling in my legs. Ugh! I can usually do small heights such as ladders. 

18. Been too liberal with the "Eau de Cologne" which then ran down where it shouldn't, which in turn caused you to hop madly around and rip your knickers off and throw them as far from you as you could? I will admit to spraying cologne in the area...just not IN THE AREA!

19. Made snow angels? Absolutely! I love it!

20. Lost a shoe in a ploughed field on a moonlight walk home after a party? No-- not lost a shoe in a ploughed field but have carried my shoes while walking along a cornfield in the pitch black night!

21. Shrieked loudly, due to being spanked hard, and frightened away a visitor/s who turned and ran back down your drive - and now you never will know who was about to knock on your door. And you are desperately hoping they will never ask...Not that I know of....

Thanks for reading!
