Never did it, not even once

I'll add myself to the list of those that have never had a cup of coffee.

I've never baked anything in an oven other than a frozen pizza.

Never ironed clothing

Never piloted a vessel longer than 16'

Never spent the night in a foreign country

Never been to an opera or symphony
 
Never spent the night in a hospital as a patient. Well, I did, but I was three weeks old at the time so don't remember it.

No broken bones. Yet.

Never jumped out of an airplane. Frankly, I think anyone who does (unless it's fully involved in flames) is, shall I put it, "half a bubble off center". Same for bungee jumping.

Never been to Europe. Might go some day.

Visited all fifty states. That would be kind of neat.
 
I've never turned down an opportunity to try something at least once.
 
Never "missed" voting in a US presidential election since I was of legal age. [Mod Edit]

I have never been one to try new things.

I have smoked anything legal or illegal. Never tried any illegal drugs, never drank anything alcoholic.

Never drank any coffee. I do like the smell of coffee, though.

Never eaten anything green. Or anything that swims or lives in the water.

While I have used other people's cell phones a few times, I have never owned one nor have I made any cell phone calls myself. I have spoken on them a few times after the cell phone's owner either made the call or handed me one with the other caller on the line already. Same idea for any of those i-gadgets. Never texted, too, of course.

I have never swum underwater. Never jumped off a diving board, either. It takes me several minutes to get into a pool, even last week with that heat wave.

I have never been outside the United States.

I am childfree so I have never been and never will be a parent.

I tried Facebook for a few days but found it boring and stupid so I canceled the account, enough for me to claim I have never really been on it. Never twittered, either.

While I was in some casinos in Atlantic City 2 years ago, I never did anything beyond play a poker machine a few times. Never played any of the conventional table games such as roulette or craps. No interest in going back there again.
 
I imagine that someone here has never valet parked.
 
"When my times up, I'll hold my own
You won't find me in an old folks home
You got that right
Well you got that right
Said, you got that right
Sure got that right
I tried everything in my life
Things I like I try 'em twice
You got that right
Sure got that right"

My philosophy, as stated by Ronnie Van Zandt and Steve Gaines.
 
Reading much of the above makes me think of the things I have done, not have not:

I had a cell phone continuously since 1988. Sometimes more than one.

I drank coffee since I was about 14 years old and still do.

I smoked cigarettes, cigars, pipes and some other *stuff* (I don't smoke anything now).

I change my own oil, do my own brake jobs, wash my car, and fix anything that it needs, provided I have the tools.

I cut my own grass, plant whatever needs planting, paint my house, replace siding, fix any electrical problem.

I have eaten things in foreign countries that were unrecognizable.

I have fished from an oil production platform in the Java Sea and flown in helicopters that had no doors.

I have owned six motorcycles and raced Motocross.

I have been to the grand Prix of the U.S. at Watkins Glenn 4 times.

I have broken my arm, shoulder, ankle and have a titanium hip implant and steel plates in one arm.

I have not been to prison, but I have had a few wives.:facepalm:
 
I've never been arrested (my brother has).
I've never been tasered (my wife has).
I've never spent the night in the snow alone in the mountains (my son has).
I've never been a decoy in a police sting (my daughter has).
I've never gotten a ticket (but I've deserved many).
 
Never played a musical instrument except for the sand blocks and glockenspiel in grade school. Our musical education was terrible.

ONE TIME, I ran my fingers across the row of a piano.
 
Lots of "nevers" out there but I wonder if all are truthful? How about aga8888 who says he's had several wives but never been to jail?

For me:
Never smoked weed.
Never been in a casino.
Never been in jail or arrested.
Never been robbed.
Never, will never, ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
Never been in the military (but think I missed something in life).
Never snorkeled.

Everything else I've done. Ya, right!

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. But I figured maybe he's from Utah....or Saudi Arabia. :)
 
Wow, judging by all the non-smoking, non-drinking (alcohol or COFFEE), non-gambling types... one might take the leap to think that is this is one way to FIRE.
 
I never diagrammed a sentence in school. And I even had advanced classes. I just never had a teacher that had us do that.

I've never used a pneumatic tube at a bank drive-up. The bank in my home town where I grew up had actually teller stations at each drive-up lane and when I moved away direct deposit and ATMs made the need obsolete for me.

I never chewed tobacco, although I grew up in an area where the practice was pretty common.
 
I have never:

Smoked...anything
Been called "grandma"
Deep sea fished
Been on the ocean in a boat
Learned to swim
Ridden on a roller coaster
 
Even though I attended a notorious "party school," I never:

Looked into joining a sorority,
Went to a frat party, or
Smoked pot or tried any recreational drugs.

In life beyond college, I never:

Sky-dived or bungee-jumped;
Went to Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas or Mississippi, or Rhode Island;
Visited any continents beyond Europe and North America;
Ran for public office;
Auditioned for community theatre or competitive choral societies;
Tried oysters (because of the way they look!); or
Had a daughter.


But, I guess the other list (of what I had the chance to do) was more engrossing than this one. If these had been higher priorities, I would have pursued them......
 
I have smoked cigarettes, but nothing else, and have quit for some years too.
I think it's time I try smoking something new. What do you suggest I try first?












Pork, beef, or salmon?
