The list of Things I Never Need To Do

I came up with the idea of this list of Things I Never Need To Do a few weeks ago while talking with my father.
We were talking about the mountain climbers that were recently killed while trying to climb a mountain in Oregon. I told my dad, I would never want to climb a mountain, that it was too dangerous, and life is risky enough.
Suddenly, a thought popped in my head (!) that there were actually quit a few things I NEVER wanted to do when I really thought about it, and I decided it was time to speak out about it.
Now let me clarify, I am not someone with a lack of experiences or yearnings, there are plenty of things I would love to do, and places I need to see, but then again, there are a lot of daredevil, dangerous and ludicris things people do - like climb Mt. Everest, and a good amount of those people are injured or killed. I have had my share of near death experiences, and while they have made me strong, I won't go out of my way to have any more than life is already, inevitably, going to throw my way.

So I started with this...

Things I NEVER need To Do
1. Climb a mountain (Toooo risky)

I quickly added...
2. Jump out of a plane (I was thinking of skydiving, but as I type it, I think instead, I never want to have to jump out of a plane period!)

Then, I went to Los Angeles for a week at Christmas to spend time with my husband Shane, and our friend Hart Fisher who is a legendary cartoonist and publisher, and now edits movies in Hollywood, he has also done a few horror movies of his own. I mention this because, while there we watched a lot of movies and went to see 'Apocolypto' at the theater.

I then added these to my list...

3. I never need to be burned alive.
4. I never need to loose a limb (or an organ I only have 1 of).
5. I never need to get lost in a foreign country, (especially a jungle, a war zone, a hostile nation).

I guess those are my top 5, I will add more later.
