I was lucky because I had a friend who worked in concert promotion who could get me seats for anything for a few years.

I had to pay face value, but didn't have to kill myself fighting for tickets on Ticketmaster or pay scalpers.

I went to a Gordon Lightfoot concert about 1979-1980.

I watched the Ball in Times Square 1979 into 1980.

I went to a Melanie concert at the Other End in Greenwich Village about 1982-1983.

I lived at 181 Bleecker St in the Village for about 6 months in 1982. The Super had a mighty vicious dog. We had a water closet for a bathroom, and the bathtub was in the kitchen.

I met Gordon Lightfoot! ^

I had a job as a food taster and product tester.

I made eyeglass lenses in a lab.

I babysat my doctor when she was little.

The screaming……..the shrill screams…..

I was soooo into Shaun Cassidy at one point!

I've gone on upside-down extreme roller coasters and super high waterslides.
One of the waterslides was so steep I couldn't see the track I was stepping into.

I've gone on those rides where the chair drops from the sky on a chain.

I'm pretty fearless about rides but I'm scared of ferris wheels.

^ I've been on extreme rollercoasters and I will never ever do that again! I'm an absolute wimp. I love the water rides though.

Even pirate ships are scary for me.

Me too! I hate Ferris wheels but love roller coasters.I rode the Scream Machine at Six Flags when it was the tallest in the world at that time.
Right before we got on a whole bunch of nuns in full habit went down.We joked they were praying for their lives.
I liked the ride at the fair that spun around and the bottom fell away and you were stuck to the side.Except once when someone puked.

Nice list.



I took my (ex) boyfriend shopping for high heels and women's lingerie.
... Mostly so he'd stop taking mine.

I can't think of anything else unusual that I've done that isn't too personal.

How about snowmobiling across frozen lakes?

Watching my brother's snowmobile catch fire and explode on a lake?

Snowshoeing?

Having a stroke in my 40s and going to stroke rehab?

Having another stroke in my 50s?

Walked in swamp with water as high as my chest, teeming with alligators and cottonmouths.

Seen the ghost orchid.

On a river in northern Quebec I saw a cow caribou with her calf.

Rolling Stones, sixth row, center.

A chimp reached out to me and climbed up my body as if I were it’s mother. He hung on tight and tried to grab my glasses.

A baby monkey hung onto one of my fingers and was looking so sad.

Hitch-hiked across Europe.

Made my own clothes from raising sheep to weaving and knitting.

Had a book published.
