What's stopping your bucket list?

I just hate the idea of getting old and regretting what I didn't do in life ....

Do you have plans to knock of some of the bucket list items? Like dates? ie: Within 6 months, by the time I'm 30 etc etc

Or is it a money issue and the prioritization of this and what it "needs" to be spent on? I've figured I'm never gonna be super rich and that's not something I strive for ... just want to have had a fucken awesome time and done lots of shit I guess

Did this really need a separate thread?

It might be on his bucket list?
I just need to stop being such a girly blouse, and go for a walk thru Davil's ard coont stoof boosh eh!

Yeah, I think it does ... it's one thing to list the things you want to do before you die and another to say how or when you're gonna get round to ticking them off ... fuck waiting tilll you're about to die before really starting to work on it.

My mate came out of a long term relationship, wrote a bucket list and started doing it straight away - hot laps round Pukekohe in a V8, 3 months in Brazil, work in California ... he's currently in Seattle

Nothing is stopping me. I'm working on mine almost constantly. Today I am working and tonight I get paid. Tomorrow I'll put more money into savings and in two weeks I'll be booking flights to Moscow in February 2013. When that rolls around, I'll be crossing at least 4 things off my list.

I'm also knitting a scarf now. I have about 8 inches done now. I'm using merino and possum wool. I'm fairly proud of myself.

I'm also trying to source some Kauri seeds. I kinda have a contact for a guy who removes seeds from Tane Mahuta, but I haven't managed to get in touch with him.

I also bought myself a Go-Pro2, so I can start taking some vids.

someone haz my bucket

*shakes fist*

Pretty cool to get them from that tree. If you want to collect your own get them from a forest rather than isolated trees as seed is superior. The cones riped in March. Cut them from the tree whole. They will usually fall apart in a few days revealing about 100 seeds to a cone. Seedlings will appear in a week or so. This year I got over 40 from a single cone. Apparently seeds loose viability relatively fast but some storage methods might prolong it.

Can't do it all now, gotta save some for the rest of your life :> If I die tomorrow, I will be dead and I won't care if I completed anything. If I find out I am going to die soon, I will endeavour to do some more things on my list as quickly as possible.

I was going to write down my bucket list.. until i got high.
I was going to think of all the things i wanted to do, but then i got high.
Now i'm on my deathbed full of regret, and i know why!
because i got high, because i got high, because i got high.

laa dee dumm dumm dumm

Yeah I saw your seedlings on FB. Looked like you had a good batch. I thought it might be good if I could get some from Tane, but I might try to collect some next time I'm road tripping around up north. Thanks for the advice.

What did you plant the seeds in? Just normal potting mix or something more specialised?

Ordinary potting mix seems to work fine. Cover them with the thinnest layer of mix you can and keep them damp the whole time with a spray bottle (never let them dry out). Somewhere warm but out of direct sun is good. They can be potted out after about four weeks of coming thru the surface. Try to keep the soil around their roots while you do this but if it falls away I think they still tend to survive.

The cones look like this:

Access can be a problem. Young trees are easyish to climb, old ones are impossible. It's best to find a tree growing down a bank with foliage pushing out over a road or path.

Excellent. Thanks. I'll be making a plan to harvest early next year.

The only thing i'm unsure about is identifying a ripe cone. Late March this year I could only find one, and saw millions of fragments of shattered cones on the ground. Mid March other years was better, although even then it seemed late. Supposidly they ripen from late Feb, but because they develop over a long period of time its difficult to know how to tell a ripe one from one that's still growing. In which case I'd just go by size and time of year.

Go split!

I'm not doing much towards anything really at the moment .... talking with gf about selling her place and mine and looking for a home ... but I'm really just crusing now at the moment.

Heres how it works:

"Oh no someone else made a thread that people are posting on, how can I get some of those people to post on MY threads.. oooh I know, I'll make a new thread on a really similar topic to divert some of the posts onto MY thread"

Ummmm, yeah, that's just what I do .... man, you have me sussed

The fact that its called something as stupid as a 'bucket list'.

Was wandering through Aotea Square, past the council buildings. There's a kauri tree there. Noticed a cone on the tree. Had a look and there was one on the ground under it that was falling apart as I picked it up.

I know it's pretty late in the season, but I planted them anyway. I guess I will find out in a few weeks if it really was far too late in the season.

Whats stopping my bucket list?
Not being faced with death.

What's stopping my bucket list?
I didn't have one before the stupid movie came out, and I don't need one now.

Fark waiting toll you're about to die to really start living

you don't need a stupid list to live man... lists pull you down

refer to accountants

I have a childhood fear of lists.....they are too closely interlinked with doing work.

Anyways, fuck lists!
I bet killing you Itchy is on one of the lists of the people that you bust in on at retard-o-clock in the morning.

I don't need a list to tell me how to live. I live everyday without one.

they say that written plans have a much much higher chance of success.

its not 'how to live' thats on the list, its just some things to do?

i wanna drive around the Sth Is. once I get my restricted.

I have thingsI want to do..but no specific list...lists are for knobs.

Yeah, I'm the same. Always been about just doing a lot of random stuff.

First and only thing on my bucket list was to one day write a bucket list.

I've been content in life since the day i wrote it.

If you've got shit that you want to do, like go see the pyramids, then you have a bucket list, whether you've written it down or not.

is bestiality wrong on a bucket list?

what are the rules

Anything is possible on a bucket list...

Making quite good progress. But time is often the underlying factor for some things.
