You’re here, what else are you gonna do?

This one got me thinking…. because to be honest? I’ve lead a charmed life and don’t have many regrets. I don’t tend to do many things I don’t want to do, so this was a puzzler.

I could say – accompany my husband to those boring military reunions he insists on attending… but he likes having me there and I love him, so what are ya gonna do?.

I could say – try those homemade kale chips my friend made especially for me because she just knew I would love them. I didn’t. Blech! 🤢

But for this question I think I have to say visiting Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. We had a little person with us so she was thrilled…

But paying $20 to park and $250 for four of us to walk around plastic fantastic town is not my idea of a good time. I knew I’d hate it and I did. I’ve always despised theme parks and Disneyland like amusements… they’re eye popping-ly overpriced , crowded and above all? Fake.

That picture was taken in their “European village” and sorry, but I wasn’t buying it. I’ve been to France and nothing about their French section felt the least bit Gallic.

So I’m not going back to Busch Gardens… what are you never doing again?

  2. I’m sorry for saying something political, but I am never NEVER discussing race relations with a guilty ass white person again. They’re as blind and willfully ignorant as any Nazi or religious fundamentalist, so they deserve the same treatment. Their tactics are all the same: Advance your argument until it gets shot full of holes, then question my character. I’m all out of time for that bullshit.

  5. I enjoyed taking my kids to Disney, but as it grows more and more over-priced I wonder whether or not my offspring will bring their own kids one day.

    I would never put an addition on a house again. Should be easy to pull off since our kids SHOULD be moving out gradually over the next few years. And Coach is on the same page after barely surviving the kitchen addition of 2017.

  9. Never gonna: Ride the water slide in Costa Rica that is waaaaay unsafe. Eat kale. Eat cauliflower. Bring a guy back to my place.
    If my knees/back don’t improve, the list gets a lot longer – but those aren’t by choice.

    I’d like to go to DLand again but price + larger crowds mean that its probably a “no thanks” forever.

  10. … what are you never doing again?

    So many things … but attending another local Elks Club rendition of “The HMS Pinafore” is at the top of my list. Even if my best friend and his wife are in it …

  12. I’m never going to live where the driveway doesn’t get full sun. Not that it matters because it apparently doesn’t snow here anymore (!), but when we get snow and ice we have to work to clear it off regardless of the amount since there is never any sun on 3/4’s of the driveway. Meanwhile, the neighbors across the street just have to wait for the storm to be over and the sun to come back out.

  13. Not to play the game yet, I want to try to give you a vision of the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC., Canada to jake up for your Busch Gardens experience.
    For less than you all spent at Busch Gardens four adults and a bunch of kids could walk the paths of a 55 acre flower garden that would overwhelm your sight and your sense of smell.
    You can find various videos at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butchart_Gardens. You would never regret it.

      1. Isn’t it gorgeous? I walked through it stoned on acid as a youngster, and it was lke I was on another world. Nothing but natural beauty, enhanced by Acid-Vision. And the air, it was beyond description. Just a few pure white clouds in a beautiful blue sky, the yellow sun beaming down… And every colour of flower possible. As beautiful as it was, though, I never went back after i stopped using LSD. I didn’t want to ruin that memory.

  14. For your game, I hopenI will never again fall asleep at the wheel only to wake up to the sound of a blasting semi horn. I opened my eyes just in time to swerve out of the way of an oncoming semi, so close I could read its licence plate. As soon as I could I stopped my car and just sat shaking, my hands glued to the wheel, for about 15 minutes, maybe more. I know we all gotta die sometime, but I hope to go lying in a bed somewhere. I can’t read the licence plate anymore, but I still occasionally dream about that night. I didn’t even have time to think I was gonna die!

  15. I’m never going to respond to a police officer when they ask…”Ma’am, do you know why I pulled you over?” With a snarky remark like…”To either give me a ticket for speeding or sell me a ticket to the policeman’s ball?” Apparently the don’t have a sense of humor about policeman’s ball 🙄

      1. Yeah not a good one, there was a standing escalator going up the mountain that I fell getting on and the kid running could give two shits that I cut my knee or even try turning it off and helping me up, then when exiting the tube/toboggan we were told to roll out of it as quick as possible…being heavy set and doing that we’re not meant to go together

  19. Sad as it is, I will never drive a hot car again. I used up my eligibility on the white ’69 Mach 1 from a few posts back. I was twenty and totally convinced I was Steve McQueen. The only thing I saved from the wreck was the stereo system; the rest was sold for (Premium original) parts. What a shame.

  23. I will never live in a deep red state again. The ignorance and close-mindedness made me want to scream every single day. I can’t be around people so blatantly racist and homophobic, and I certainly refuse to be “led” by a governor who overturns the will of the people on a whim. I don’t talk about it much, but politics were a pretty big reason we left South Dakota.
