I would go to Vegas. Take cash advances on my credit cards. Sit at the Blackjack machine, call escorts, dance at the palms, and get a tan. Then I would go to Mesa, say goodbye to my friend. AFterwards I would go to Austin, Athens, Greenville, and Charlotte. At this point of the trip I would attend some baptist church everyday atoning for my sins. Afterwards I would go home, play Automatic For The People by REM over and over again and wait for the inevitable.
I wouldn't want to blow money because that money is also my husband's and wouldn't want to leave him with nothing.
There are some advantages to being single!

Great idea, Rhett! How didn't I think of it?! Thank you!

It would... wouldn't it... I hate pity, too.

'Cause they can't afford it...?!

speak my mind ALL the time and to whoever I want. These are the things you could NEVER do when you are just alive and not dying without some serious recourse.
I usually do it without having death plans in mind, but it would be helpful to have them...

Get a fellow soul from the hospital records!

4) I'd find out if my corvette can really do 195 mph. (Not while engaging in #3 though, that's reserved for slower speeds. )
What's stopping you now...? If you have a Corvette you can certainly pay for a ticket...

:P
That's an interesting idea, too, but I still prefer the Pacific Coast drive...

oh you mean the bucket list
i am working on it right now.
the biggie is realizing the other shoe is not going to drop
that took 18 months
i am being less afraid to reach out
to try new things
to mess up
to waste time
and mostly to be me
i like animals and plants a lot more and pay alot of attention to them.
i have been somebody else for so long
i wasn't really sure who me was.

What's with this "if" stuff? LOL...ok posting pic once I get it shrunk to fit size max. 195 = arrest, not ticket...plus possible death and not too big on the whole orphaning my kids concept.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply you don't have it. Could've said "since you have it," I guess...
What fun is having a sports car if you adhere to speed limits?! I'll tell ya what you should do - have the car shipped to Germany and go play on the autobans! I know you have responsibilities and don't look forward to getting killed, but perhaps it's fairly safe to go up to 140-150... I've only tried a 100 myself. Felt good...

I know, just teasing you a bit sierra.
I've gone over 100...but not by much, it's just a 2 second tap on the gas when already at interstate speeds.. When I road-trip out west eventually I will open it up to 150 or so, which wouldn't be that scary in it. There really isn't anywhere outside of track racing where you can push that car anyway. Too much traffic, not enough road etc. although I know a friend that has one that has done 185 on the interestate around here with his.

Oh, you can do it in our wild West! When I was doing 90-100 I could've easily be doing a lot more than that, but I'd read somewhere that speeding of 20 over is considered a felony and chickened out. I'm still not sure if that's true... I did manage to get a ticket, though, when I was exactly at about 20 over. Just froze when I saw this cop… was very well hidden on a practically deserted road. Luckily I was coming down a downhill and was able to blame the speed on that and he wrote down only 10 over. I think it was a red rental car. Red cars are just trouble! Knock wood, I haven’t had tickets for years, but both I had I got while driving rentals. They're just soooo nice... and soooo new... and soooo fast!
I would die! Yikes, I have six dogs with no one to take them and they could not stay here with my insignificant other, he is totally irresponsible. I would use those 6 months to place my doggies. They would freak out. I do not even want to think about it. Whenever I leave the house they all run and huddle at the door before I even get to it, they all wanna go too!
