KISSING FISH?

The challenge was to write about 10 things I've never done. I could probably come up with many more than that. But here goes:

1. I've never smoked a joint. I have no interest in drugs and I'm uncomfortable with a bad headache or the dizziness that comes with a sinus infection. Why would I want to use something that could make me hallucinate? Besides, I love life; I don't need to alter my existence.
2. I've never eaten oysters or sushi. I've tried alligator, buffalo, octupus, squid, tripe, bear, antelope, and Rocky Mtn. oysters (testicles). Some are good, some I'll pass on. But anything raw turns me off. And oysters? Well, they remind me of the snot from a little runny nosed kid. No thanks!
3. I've never been bungy jumping. This is something that looks like fun or at least it did until a few people had the misfortune for the rope to break. I can't see myself doing this (especially at my age), however, I am up for hot air balloon ride.
4. I've never ridden the mechanical bull. Although it appeals to me, I'm sure with my bad back, I'd never walk again.
5. I've never learned to drive a stick shift.
6. I've never been to Europe.
7. I've never "mooned".  I'm pretty straight, prim, and proper. Hey, it's called manners!
8. I've never hiked the back-country. Heck, I've never hiked period. But I'd like to.
9. I've never been on television. Oprah, are you reading this? Hello? Hello?


10. I've never kissed a fish. Now some of you may find this funny, but when living in Wyoming, the neighbor man taught all his children to kiss the fish they caught. I like fishing, but kissing the fish, that's right up there with #2.

What 10 things have you never done?

However, after Googling this company--guess what--yep, there is none.

CARROLL OR TOLKIEN

Simple question today: Who was more creative Louis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland) or Tolkien (The Hobbit)? Why?
                              

KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid)

See this?  While this is not my house it looks similar. Now before you think, wow she must really be a bad housekeeper, let me say my house does not look this way by choice.

Hubby is a collector. So when we moved out of two homes to this one, he insisted everything come with us. The poor moving van almost had a stroke trying to handle it all. When we arrived and unloaded, several things were damaged. And while claims were being made and settled, everything just sat in boxes. Furnishings were here, there and everywhere. I felt like I was living in a warehouse.We could not settle in. My visions of a lovely ranch house faded.

But I was optimistic. When the claim was settled, I set to work and soon found we had too much stuff, not enough house. That was over 12 years ago. Since then, more has been collected. And sad to say, not a dent has been made in parting with things. See, my theory is, if it hasn't been used, worn, played with, viewed, etc. for over two years, it's time to part ways. Hubby's theory is: We may need that someday. So the accumulation grows. And after 14 years, I am still living in a warehouse!

Any suggestions how to turn this around?

FANTASY

Let's talk fantasies. One of mine was to have a fabulous home with an alcove housing a baby grand. Then I'd want Liberace to come and play all day for me.
