Just one thing? Is your goal to have like a PFF Bucket List with only everyone's top pick, or just to see what our bucket lists are?
Mine aren't written down, but my number one is to live in Africa and build homes for people. It's an extended goal that will cover many years, not like a one time thing. But I have others that are one timers.

Do you really want to live forever? I'm guessing that you'd reach a certain age and stay there. You'd outlive all of your friends and family, and watch everyone you know grow old and die. Assuming you could "share", it would still be similar. You and another person would experience the same thing. You couldn't bring everybody with you. Think it through.

You can ALWAYS die later if life doesn't agree with your philosophy. But the other way absolutely does not work. So, yeah, I would take immortality right now and think later, after all, I have eternity to think about it.
Well I guess immortality means you Can't die. I have thought it through but you never know how you'll feel about something a year from now so how do I know I'd get sick of life a million years from now. Can always make new friends, family would have children and grandchildren I could share things with. I don't think I'd pass up the opportunity.

To me it would mean that you live for as long as you decide to. The only drag about it is that not being 'independently wealthy' i would have to work for a long time ... and i hate work...
Bucket list? For me? All I want to do is get my own house with a 2 or 3 car garage and maybe a pool, nice and quiet and far away from neighbors. I also want a job where I get paid decent enough to live on, and maybe something that I like and is rewarding. With the job and the house, after that I'd just like to collect cars and work on them in my spare time. So I guess my bucket list is 1. My dream home, 2. my dream job, and 3. my list of dream cars. There isn't much else I want to do, besides maybe visit Ireland and the rest of the UK, go skiing again, drive up in the mountains again, etc, simple things nothing really extreme or outlandish.

Hah imagine collecting SS forever. I would hope I'd learn to manage my money after a few hundred years so that I wouldn't have to work the whole time.

While not a bucket list, this is worth mentioning....
you'll have to do some-research for it's actual place, but, there is a spot in the mountains of virginia, where, 3 states actually intersect with each other, there is a "landmark" circle, ponder, wonder, make believe, find the light.
In other news, isn't kind of an interesting fact, that everywhere you go, no matter where, they say this place is for lovers....

Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.... Enzo Ferrari...
Today they are called garage's, yesterday, they were stable's! Eric Jacobsen.... An anvancement, of others voices I came across. S.F, hint, it's a car manufacturer....

Na no real goal like that. Just a casual conversation about it. Nice one you posted.

Thats another thing about bucketlists. "Immortality" Are the things supposed to be realistic?
I guess saying immortality, would mean you plan to do everything possible, you just need the time to do them?
Sorry I was just trying to be clever. Didn't think it would take the thread off on a tangent.
I have a hard time picking a favorite anything, but I've never driven a really bad ass car, like a z06 or exotic or classic muscle car. Definitely need to do that.
I'm not 'selfless', but I don't REALLY feel the need to do or see much more (for myself) if I do, COOL!
Every Day's a parade! If not, then well, there ya go. Not that I don't want to do things, (things are "fun") I just want MY SON to experience things. and to watch him enjoy expeerincing those things. I suppose THAT's my 'selfish' part... Maybe this will change in the future, but I've seen pretty much all I need to see, done what I wanted to do... if I had the cash, I'd live somewere more tropical like the Cayman islands or Cozumel. But a 'bucket list'? Don'[t think I have one...

Sky dive into the Grand Canyon. Traverse the Brazilian rain forest. Live in rural Japan for some extended period of time. Visit my ancestor's castle in Scotland (yeah, I have a castle in my name ). Learn to surf.
I have to go on a date right now (woo!), so I have to stop. I'll be back with more

"Do you have a bucket list? If so, name something on it."
But only with a bucket.

"Do you have a bucket list? If so, name something on it."
But only with a bucket.
This actually brings up an interesting question for me...
I've got a lot of gay friends and family members, but none of them purposely try to look or dress like the other sex. Well, I did have one friend who actually went and had a complete sex change, but he (now a she) doesn't count because afterwards she said "I've made a mistake..."
Anyway, I'm curious. When I was in Martha's Vineyard last, I saw at least 12-15 homosexual women who were dressed like lumber-jacks. You know, hiking / construction boots, flannel shirts, work pants, or jeans. Basically, they were all dressed like Al Borland. They all had short hair, as well. One of the things that you'll notice about many lesbian women who try to act the part of the male, is that they purposely pick up on male behavioral attributes, and they tend to over exaggerate them? You'll see otherwise dainty women dressed like Al Borland, and they'll lumber around as if Steven Segal, The Rock, and Arnold Schwartzneggar had a 3-some love-child together. You'll also seem them do other silly things.
So my question is... if you're a woman, and you're a lesbian who is attracted to other women, WHY would another lesbian woman be attracted to you if you're trying to dress like a man, when she's obviously attracted to feminine features? So I asked this to some of my friends / family, and none of them really had a good answer other than the fact that they say that ultimately, the ones who do that feel like they're actually men trapped in a woman's body. I've heard this many times before, and incidently, that's what my old boss / friend said before he got a sex change (and ultimately decided after the fact, and $200,000 later that it was a bad decision).
It still doesn't make sense to me... if you're a lesbian, you are attracted to women, so then it doesn't make sense to me why two Al Borland looking women would be attracted to eachother?
I dunno... thought about this while I was working on my car the other day... hahah..

Im done with about everything on my bucket list. Would like to live to see real aliens finally show themselves in an irrefutable way like in the movie where a 300' flying saucer lands on the White House lawn in the middle of the afternoon. Cool to see a real live Bigfoot found too.

Hmm... My bucket list, how realistic does it have to be?
1) Live to see my daughter grow up and lead a successful and happy life. After that it's all gravy. 2) Legally drive a ground vehicle in excess of 300 MPH. 3) Skydive from no less than 100K ft. 4) Successfully learn to free dive. 5) Be in control of an aircraft in excess of 100K feet. 6) Be in control of an aircraft at no less than Mach 3. 7) Travel to the ISS for a week stay.
Use the aforementioned bucket to bail water out of the boat I don't need that some jerk of a dolphin decided to attack for no reason. [This will happen if I buy a boat. Guran-damn-tee it.]
F'n dolphins, flippin' around and s...

I slammed Sherrif Joe...I am sorry if it offended some people, but I cant change the way I feel about fascism and authoritarian personalities.....
Hahah... is that Sherrif Joe Apagio or whatever his name is from Nevada? The one who's been arresting all the illegal immigrants? Heh...
Well... think of it this way. Is it worth it to you to lose the Fiero Forum as a resource, for the sole benefit of talking to people who disagree with you and will never change their views on it (like myself)?

LMAO...thats the whole fun in heated discussions.....I (we..friends) do the same in person.....voices might get raised, but fists never fly and at the end of the day, we still buy each other a coffee or a beer........The world would be a pretty damn boring place if everybody agreed on everything.
