I find it much easier to think of things I haven’t done, but here are a few more things I have done that might fall outside the typical realm:
- Taken a CPR/First Aid course. (Though it was years ago—pity the person who might rely on me to save their life.)
- Visited a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Many!)
- Worn a wetsuit.
- Gone to a midnight movie. (In university… not these days I can assure you.)
- Ridden a horse. (Multiple times; a summer camp I attended had a resident horse.)
- Written something on public bathroom stall. (It was high school in the early aughts!)
- Used a typewriter.
- Had a Brazilian wax. Twice. (OUCH!)
- Climbed a tree as an adult. (Multiple times.)
- Split firewood with an axe.

Your turn.
- Who’s proficient with CPR?
- Does anyone split their own wood by hand?

This is fun! Let’s play along at home!
1. I’m with you in that I’ve taken the CPR course a few times and remember nothing. I should probably do something about that.
2. Yep! On my own I’ve been to Hopewell Earthworks in Ohio, and I think there are others. I can one up by bragging that I’ve been to a UNESCO site with you! Grand-Pre FTW!
I have not done 3 or 4 and probably won’t. I rode a horse once as a kiddo and would possibly do it again.
6. I feel like I might have written something on a stall at some point in my misguided youth. As a mature adult I have no reason to do this and yet…never say never.
7. Typewriter FTW!!! I started working shortly before typewriters became extinct, and the fact that I knew how to change a typewriter ribbon was one of my strongest career assets at the time.
8,9, and 10 are team no. The most likely one that I would do is to climb a tree, but even that is uncertain.
I have not ridden a horse in a lot of years, and probably won’t ever again, but I do so love it 🙂
I haven’t ridden a horse in years, but it was something I usually did to celebrate my birthday as a kid – my birthday is in August, so we were usually on our summer holiday, and there would be stables nearby where you could arrange to take a ride 🙂
