So the question is, what do you want to do? With so many things that happen in life people don't take the time to take a step back and think about themselves. You spend most of your time thinking about your job, your kids, what needs to be done around the house, what's that noise my truck is making, am I losing my hair, is gravity attacking my body, how much is the credit card bill THIS month, Am I interested in natural male enhancement, what would the neighbors say, did bob return my belt sander, did I lock the door...........

I can keep going but it's just exhausting.

So I want to know, what do you WANT to do? It can be something as big as I want to take a trip to Ireland or something as small as I want some peanut butter m&ms. Who cares? It's what you want. And not only do I want to know what you want but if you get it I want to hear about it, maybe see it if you have a picture.

We'll refer to this as The Fuck It List.

Why you ask?

Because Fuck It I felt like creating a new thread instead of actually working while I'm at work.

So come on and enjoy, vent, rant and rave. Make a list and then start crossing shit off.

We all go a little mad sometimes. So let it show.:ybatty:

Fuck it! I want to get on a plane and meet all of you guys!

Fuck it! I want to eat a huge curry!

What I want most of all is to remake my vows with my hubby on my favourite beach near my mums house... Maybe next year?

Lishyloo x
 
I love that you made this list!!!!!!!!

But you know how much of a jerk you are for "locking the door"... LOL ;)

I want to move to Hawaii! Like right now! And never look back!
(Josh - maybe we could rent scooters out to tourists lol)

I want to jiggle Bam's belly right now because he's passed out next to me and I know it would annoy him!

I want to have a guinea pig farm!
 
Josh, you rule!

I want to be in Vegas already.
I want beef jerky (shuddup, Ris, LMAO)
I want to move out of this city.

Most of all though...I just want peace in my life.
 
Hmmmm, so many options!

The main thing I'd like to do is say f it and go on a trip around Europe and not worry about where every friggin' bathroom is!

I would also LOVE to be able to just pick up and move to Hawaii Ris - if only for a year or two - it would be lovely!

I'd love to get a badass RV (like a Prevost) and run around the country with my hubby - but I still have to wait 8 years till the little one is fully grown - but...I can wait. Who wouldn't wait so they could have their own bathroom on wheels :O)
 
So for everyone that has responded so far, Why haven't you done what you wanted?

What's holding you back?

What do you want to do today to make you happy?
 
I haven't jiggled Bam because he's finally asleep.

Haven't moved to Hawaii because you keep saying no no no, blah blah money jobs blah blah blah.

Same goes with the guinea pig farm...
 
I wanna meet you guys.
I wanna take a trip to Sweeden, and Hawaii (to visit Ris and Peaches of course)
I want to go a single day without having to worry about how the day is going to go ... how many bathroom trips I'll make and how I will feel.
I want us all to have those days, so Crohns Cure works. :)
I want to sit by myself and answer to no one at all for a good week. No responsibilites and no hard decisions to make. So in other words, I want to be able to kick back and fully relax.

I guess that works. :) You're right Josh, most of us rarely stop to think about ourselves.

Josh, I love that you started this - it is actually an very important thread!

1) Because I get the shits
2) Because we already considered doing it about 7 or 8 years ago after way too many trips there - and figured it would be pretty isolating. It is more expensive, we are type A personalities and everyone over there is on "Hawaii time" meaning slow as crap, and we would miss our families a LOT. We'd have to fly everyone over to see us because they couldn't afford to make the trip - blah blah blah. It is kind of a big choice to make. So, we decided against it. BUT, I'd still love to do it for a year or two if it wasn't too disruptive for the kids.
3) Have to wait until Abby is out of the house - then it is definitely going to happen. This one I know is going to happen because we have been talking about it for over 15 years.

This thread reminds me of something one of my computer customers asked me one time (he was a pretty philosophical person). He always saw me rushing around (trying to get to the next customer, then to the next - everything was almost always an emergency). He stopped me and asked me what I would do if I knew I only had 6 months to live. It was a strange question and I only thought about it for a minute (you know, because I was in a hurry!). I told him I would quit my business and spend as much time with my family as I could - without a doubt. This was probably over 10 years ago that he asked me that. I would say I think about it several times a year. It is important to have your priorities in order and make sure your wishes are there as well!

I'll be in Vegas in a few months, so yay for that.
I have no beef jerky because I ate it all and am too lazy to go to the store and get more.
I need money to move out of this city. Something I'm lacking big time right now.

Annnnnnnnd I don't have peace in my life right now because I'm going through a divorce, lol.
 
I want to eat a 100 oz Rare steak. 3 inches thick and just enough moo left in it to make me stab it with my fork a little harder than normal.

i want to go back home and start my life again.

I want to get married and have beautiful children.

I want to start a bar. Call it Church and be open every Sunday between the two 12:00 o'clock hours. So you can call out "Honey I'm going to Church"

I want to open a bikini car wash open only on Saturdays that people will pay $100 to have their car washed by girls working their way through college.

I want an English Mastiff

I want to financially retire this year and then do the same thing for my entire family... including my Crohnie family.

I want to discover a cure to this disease.

I want to see my sister happy again.

I want to meet my grandchildren one day.

I want to be able to go out in public and not have to worry about bathrooms and if the seats are clean, how soft the toilet paper is if there is toilet paper.

I want a decent nights sleep

I want my new body to wake the hell up and shift already....

I could go on and on....
 
I want to be the President of the United States so that I can repeal all the tax laws and make the politicians pay for everything.

Won't happen because Janis says Washington is to far from our grandbabies

AMEN Pirate!! You have my vote!
 
Popcorn- what do you want to do that you'll end up in jail?

Mike- feel free to keep going that's what this thread is for.

I'm glad everybody is digging this thread. Sometimes we need to slow down and think about the basic things.

Like since Ris would't do it, when I got home from work, I jiggled Bam's belly.
Point for Josh!!!

Personally I want to get this stupid gallbladder out so I can feel better and focus on my next imediate goal.

Stand up comedy bitches!!!
 
Thanks Josh! I do appreciate the thread. This is a good outlet to let it go.

I do love my Crohn's family!
 
I want to go Skydiving. Haven't because i'm waiting to reach a weight loss goal to do so.

I want to buy a house. Haven't because money's tight, especially with me being off work right now.

I want a dog. No dice, because we're in an appt., and i would rather wait 'till in a house, less walking, easier potty training, etc.

I want babies. So badly, it's not even funny. But, until we figure out what's going on with my health, and i have a house, not going to happen. :(

I want to go back to work. I'm actually thinking about trying to go back a night or two a week in a couple weeks, because i think staying home is making the depression worse....I'll just stay on call so that i can only go in on good days. problem is, that can turn in an instant. :(

**Looks around to make sure we're in the lounge"
I want my sex life back. I haven't had sex since September. I'm a newlywed for freaks sake! I'm tired of feeling like i'm a crappy wife by not satisfying my husband, and heck, i wouldn't mind some! LOL. but it hurts too much. :(

I want to go to Haiti to help the people there. i am saddened by what happened, and would love to volunteer my time, especially with not working. But my health will not allow it.

i want to backpack across Europe for a few months. Haven't because money's no good, and i'm just not at a place in my life where i can.
 
I want a brand new Harley Davidson Ultra Classic but have to be satisfied with my 1999 Ultra until all my medical bills get paid up.

I want to see the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall. But I don't have enough vacation time to do it.

I want to see no more Allied soldiers killed in Iraq and Afganastan. But I have no control over it. Today I will join my Patriot Guard brothers and sisters to stand the flag line in respect and honor of Sgt Beachaw who was killed in Iraq. This will be my 17th such mission in the 4 yrs with the Patriot Guard Riders.

Thank you for your service Sgt. Beachaw.
 
Ok, these aren't in any particular order.....I want to move out of this city. I want to visit my best friend on her farm in Portugal. I want to try to have a baby when my condition is more settled. I want to see more of the world. I want me & mine to be healthy. I want to win the lottery & buy a detached edwardian farmhouse in North Yorkshire. I want to stop jumping through hoops. I want to learn to speak Dutch.
 
I want all the troops to come home safely after the job is done.

I want protection for all at home families for troops serving across the world. I know they have something now. But I want them to have total protection paid for by the military. Everything. So that they can focus on volunteering and helping in the community to better the overall of the military family both away and home.

I want what we need to end the war. Its not just as simple as pulling out. Wouldn't that be nice?

I want all party lines crossed. I want a truly of the people gov't. For us, by us. No more them.
 
I'd almost settle for a good night's sleep rignt now.

And a day where I can get everything done that I need/want to and don;t have to have a damned nap just to keep going!
 
My girlfriend is from there. Her family still lived there she wants me to come with her sometime. So I just may. :)
 
My buddy who likes to embelish storries, says he jumped in the fountain for a couple minutes.
I donno if I believe him though, it would be a tough climb back out, those walls are pretty high.
 
Ok, change of plans. Instead of going to washington for the conference I say we switch to vegas. VIVA LA SIN!

haha ... we fought DC and kept saying Vegas made more sense all around, but would anyone listen ..... nnoooooooo. At least there are 2 of us who are smart around here. ;) haha
 
I just looked it up, with no shopping around to get from Aucland (other end of the country to me) to DC is $3800, so about $2000 USD! Yikes! You guys can just post photos :)
 
Well, that would be on my F-it list...If I had the cash to spare I would send tickets to Sharon, and anyone else who wanted to come to CRAP!
 
That is very kind :) I'd have to get over my extreme flying anxiety a bit first! I manage to go to Auckland but its only an hour and a half!
 
I wish i could manage to pull together the cash to get to DC, not only would it be a great touristy op. but i could meet everyone! Guess me and Sharon will have to hold down the fort around here while ya'll are partying.

Girl, last month when I flew, I actually gasped so loud when we landed that everyone turned and looked at me :X I was covered in hives when I walked off the plane! I'm not sure when I became such a weenie about flying, but goodness next time I'm having two beers instead of one, LOL.

Then when I landed back at home, I think a bird got sucked into the engine. It was a rough landing, but thankfully this time I wasn't the only person who yelled when we heard a loud pop and swooped down. :ylol2:
 
I want to tour Ireland and England

I want to get published and contracted by a major publishing house (many times)

I want to get a couple of my film scripts picked up by a major studio

I want to eat a bag of popcorn with extra butter

I want to eat an entire jar of salsa and a bag of tortilla chips

I want to eat Nacho Cheese Doritos

I want to eat creamed corn/corn on the cob/etc

I want to not have friggin pain in my guts!

I want to get back into Martial Arts

I want to get our credit cleared up so we can get another car or actually buy a house with proper heating

I want a full set of teeth

And that's just some of the top of the list.
 
That's alright, a whole set wouldn't fit in there right now. I'd have to glue pieces together and take the dremel to 'em till they fit. Been considering going the George Washington route and carving me a partial out of wood. ;)
