Never Have I....Wait, Actually I Have!

Last week Elisabeth did a Never Have I Ever post and I always enjoy them, but when it comes to talking about what else that I haven't done, I never can come up with stuff, because how do I know what I don't know/haven't done? So I thought I would make a list of weird things that I have done and you can chime in to let me know if you have done these things! Also, I want to apologize in advance to my parents or anyone who I may offend or make blush by stating these things. 

1. Shot a gun

It was not this one!

2. Joined the mile high club (it is much more exciting in the movies FYI) 

3. Eaten a rambutan

Rambutan

4. Driven a tractor

5. Been over 5,000 m (16,500 ft) in elevation

6. Eaten a bug (on purpose)

Chapulines

7. Read a book in another language (Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal. It took me a while, but I did it during the pandemic, so, you know, I had time!)

8. Driven a car in another country (Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, Turkey, Scotland and Ireland, all manual)

Ireland

9. Driven a motorcycle. (Did it when I was younger, and then again in Vietnam and Thailand, with a person on the back, which is scary!)

10. Stayed up past dawn (partying! Just kidding. I did stay up all night in Buenos Aires because they don't go for dinner until 10 pm, then you go out afterward, but mostly my all night jaunts are running related) 

Finish line of Bryce 100 after staying up all night
(plus it was over 100 degrees too!)

11. Gone commando (cycling, but then I realized that I don't mind it!)

12. Wet my pants (just a little not fully, but sometimes when you have to go really bad and then you sneeze...well...) 

13. Had an Irish car bomb (not for several years but they used to be fairly de rigueur) 

14. Smoked a hookah (in New Orleans and San Francisco, but never in a different country)

This is not me, but I am drinking that martini!

15. Heard a call to prayer (in Istanbul. 5x per day in most cases, and I think 6x during Ramadan)

2004. What a baby I was (sorry about the quality)

16. Stepped on a snake (Luckily it was not poisonous. I jumped so high after that!) 

It was not this one. This one IS poisonous.

It was not this one. This one was huge, but in a tree. Don't F with the red tailed boa.

Have you done any of these things? What other strange things have you done in your life that I can make a NHIE post about later? 

Never Have I Ever

Never have I ever: 

* Milked a cow

But I have milked a goat!

* Eaten or been to Chick-Fil-A (PS one of my pet peeves is when people spell things wrong to be cute. This is not why I have never eaten there though!)

* Read Fifty Shades of Grey

* Seen Top Gun (either version)

* Been to the states of Arkansas, Delaware, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota or West Virginia (layovers on the plane don't count)

* Been to the continent of Antarctica

* Ridden a mechanical bull

* Brushed a dog's teeth

I've helped clip this one's toenails!

* Ridden on a scooter (motorized or non)

* Had kids

Volunteering at Bolivian orphanage

* Used one of the shared rental scooters, bikes, etc. in any city

* Had a gerbil, Guinea pig or hamster as a pet

I have had a lot of cats

* Put the toilet paper roll on upside down (flap goes over every time)
