@Catsmere I think you’re misunderstanding me. I’m not saying anyone should, for example, jump out of a plane just so they can tick it off a list. There’s no way in hell I’ll be doing that - ever.

But why would you not go to at least one wedding, or do a day trip to France? You might find you enjoyed it, and if not, at least you know for sure and can say with confidence you won’t be doing that again!

50n plus and never managed to insert a tampon, 2 DC though! never eaten oysters ,never ridden a horse .

Because everyone has their own priorities. Instead of going on a day trip to France someone may prefer to hike the Pennine Way or tour the Scottish Islands

Instead of going to a wedding someone may enjoy going to Glastonbury, Wimbledon, the Hay-on-Wye Book Festival or the Edinburgh Festival

Or they may prefer to stay at home, knitting and scrolling through MN ! 😂

@KnitnNatterAuntie It’s not either or!

No, but it can be if that's someone's choice.

I posted the info because so many people kept coming back saying you were thinking of Leah Betts, even after you’d explained you were not.

Leah Betts took Ecstasy, Rachel was a heroine addict - the circumstances were not even remotely similar, but they both died tragically.

Not a big deal really, out of curiosity if you hadn’t of seen the photo of Rachel would you have ever considered taking heroine?

I'm surprised at the wedding criticism posts.
Some people may have very small families/not many friends or family members and friends who just don't want to get married or who are already married

I have been to just 2 weddings and 2 evening dos in the last 14 years. This is because everyone I know was either already married, not of marriageable age, not in a relationship or not wanting to get married.

@Johaanah yeah i get that. I just never compared them or said anything to make anyone think I was talking about Leah in particular so it was weird that so many people made the assumption.

I've absolutely no idea, I was 13 when I saw that photo and quite naive so it was probably my first exposure to it. I'd like to think not but I guess I'll never know.

no one owns cats. cats enslave humans

That photo of Rachel Whitear is harrowing. I was a 19 student nurse at the time and the first death I had to deal with was a heroin addict. I can still hear her mother screaming. All these years later.

Smoked
Taken drugs
Breastfed
Had a one night stand
Got a tattoo
Been to a festival

Will never do any of those things neither!

OP how have you managed to never drink tea, coffee or wine?

Never ridden a motorbike, skydived or got a tattoo

Some religions forbid alcohol.

Right?!?! Some posters really need to get out more 😂

Never drank tea or coffee?? Why on earth not?

They don’t ban tea and coffee.

Tried it as a kid wounded why adults drank several cups a day . Must be a fantastic drink but no its gross 🤮

"The Seventh-day Adventist diet is a plant-based diet that's rich in whole foods and excludes most animal products, alcohol, and caffeinated beverages. However, some followers choose to incorporate some low-fat dairy products, eggs, and low amounts of certain “clean” meats or fish"

You can see from her above post it’s becaue she doesn’t like them.

Yes, this, exactly! I've done lots of things I wanted to. Possibly because I wasn't wasting time doing things other people enjoy but I don't ...

Why would I go to weddings? They mean nothing to me. I have no friends who are getting married - most of them now are at the "burying him under the patio" stage. I've been to two weddings in decades past and that was more than enough.

It's a trifle difficult to do a day trip to France from Australia. As it happens I have been, twice, so that is rather more travelling than the "day trip" variety. But if it wasn't that I was passionately interested in one period of French history, I wouldn't have included it in my journey. Modern France doesn't interest me.

You're still pushing the idea that people should do things you think they might enjoy. Does it not occur to you that we know our own minds and may be quite familiar with whatever the thing is, and know full well we don't want to waste time and money on it, and indeed are doing other things we do enjoy?

Correct! This is the natural order of things.😸
