1. Lose weight (the perennial woman's aim)
2. Travel in UK and Europe
3. Write a book (and hopefully sell it)
4. Write more books (and hopefully sell them)
5. See my kids happily settled in life (and possibly grandkids)
6. Stay healthy.
Lots of minor ambitions too of course, like win the lottery, bed a hundred men (not all in the one night), see Australia and New Zealand and Canada, learn to crochet, take paintings lessons, get the bloody house finished and tidy up the front garden.... stuff like that.
Oh I was just joking about bedding the hundred men. Frankly, outside in the park will do..... er no, that doesn't sound right either. LOL I think I was just joking anyway...... well, I think I was thinking I was just joking. I know I was thinking about something when I wrote it ....

Status : Online | My ideas for the future are a little vague. But here are the main things I hope to do, in roughly the right order:
1. Get a good job, preferably well-paid but also interesting and useful.
2. Leave the UK and go to work in mainland Europe, at least for a while.
3. Get married.
4. Have children.
5 Travel to various places in Asia, Europe and North America. (This could be at any time during my life).

I am seriously worried for you! Elvis indeed!
Actually you may have thought I was exaggerating about the 100 men but I've already started counting.... honest.
I've got the 1, now all I need are a couple of zeros and I'm all there!
Can't imagine ever wanting to smoke anything. Goodness, the older you get the more you realise your NEED your brain cells.

I was the only female and my guy friends had to go into the womens toilet to get me home(actually they told me what happened). :-[ :-[ I know it was stupid but that was the least embarassing moment.
*Sigh* Those were lovely days when I was still single. Now I quit drinking. Being totally healthy. Whoa, did I said all that!!!

Now I AM worried. Why should it be on anyone's list? Which particular religion did you have in mind. In other words, which old man are you going to allow to tell you how to think, how to behave, who to hate, who to vote for?

Why do you wanna smoke pot and get drunk? There is no need to do what everyone does....it's a waste. Just smoke tea or something and drink milk....
People say just one little try...but it's that try that can spin your car out, jolting it off the freeway crashing and tumbling for hundreds of feet.....just stay with the good stuff. Look at Eva, or I, or others on here that don't do that shit....we're hip; we're cool.....
If you wanna get high.....just take a ride with me....and I'll take you places you've never been....
...all with the assistance of music....

All religions are run by old men. Show me one world religion that is run by women. Catholic, Protestant, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, - all old men.

Many religious leaders try to influence the thoughts and behaviour of their flock. Mainly they indoctrinate them with some form of superiority complex and then tell them how to conduct their sexual lives and especially how they should dress.

I actually don't hate anyone. Hatred is a cancer which destroys your ability to receive love and inhibits your ability to give love. I am also remarkably free of jealousy for the same reason. I regard myself as spiritual but certainly NOT religious. I have no time for rituals or petty rule making or name calling. I an an unsuitable canditate for being a religious person because I know they all think they alone have the one true interpretation of god and logic dictates that they can't all be right, unless of course God is totally illogical in which case all bets are off.

I would be very pleased if you would tell me Sarah, so that in future I could tailor my remarks to lessen the probablility that one of them may offend you, which frankly if I talk about this subject for any length of time, is bound to happen.
My husband never talks politics or religion - I don't know how he can contain himself.

That sounds like something my husband would say
I've always thought that Buddhism was more a spiritual path than a religion, but all sorts of things seem to fall under the "Religion" umbrella these days, in fact here in Australia there's a newish so-called religion started by some silly cow (sorry no reflection on you Friday ), who says she saw a vision of the Virgin. Caroline this is in Queensland in a place called Helidon which is just a little bit West of the Gold Coast and she calls her church something like the Church of the Holy Meal (not sure if Holy is the word but something like that). Just bloody stupid really and she's apparently received a lot of money from parishioners. Getting like California I think some so-called religions manage to register themselves to receive charity and not have to pay taxes.
Don't know what that has to do with the subject of "Before you die"

Narji
Religion is an important issue to have sorted out before you die. See? it fits.
Have you heard of the Reverend Nutter from Ireland? He has invaded a small (really tiny) stone chapel in the middle of nowhere just south of Adelaide and has declared that a patch of salt damp on the rear wall is in fact a manifestation of the Virgin Mary holding a dying Jesus. Only the heads of course. They've put a gold fringe around the relevant patch of cement render and the church now makes money selling bottled blessed water from the stream which flows right beside the church (coincidentally along the affected wall). It all sounds very like catholic commercialism. Only this man is protestant. Half the dozen flock has walked out and the Reverend Nutter is sick to death of the media poking fun at his name so he is now Father Notere and he has lovely fancy new robes.
What can I say? It's totally potty. Just like the elephant god statue that cried tears of milk, or the virgin statue in Perth last year that was 'crying' and the owner of the statue come forward to explain she'd brought it home from asia as a souvenir and had only leant it to the church and had it examined and she wanted to know who had smeared it with vaseline?
gosh and how about that vision of Mary in Sydney last summer which everyone knew was just the shadow on the fence post. Hundreds gathered to watch it form and disappear which took about 15 minutes late afternoon, until the earth's rotation put a stop to that particular optical illusion. A church spokesman said it wasn't the authenticity or not of such visions that mattered, it was the people's need for them to occur and the effect it had on boosting their faith and the numbers in church the following Sunday.
Now, why did you get me started on this? :

Sarah,
Possibly not dear. But you still haven't told me what religion it is you embrace. So you are still as mysterious as you were before. :
