Most people have done a variety of things which I haven't done. That is not to say I'm an odd ball. I just haven't done some of the things the average person has done. On the other hand, I have done many things that the average person hasn't done. Therefore, I guess we are even.

I haven't done some of these things because I haven't had the interest to do them, and some of them I just haven't gotten around to doing. Don't laugh when you read my list. I'm sure you could come up with a list of your own that would be just as surprising.

@Margaret Minnicks

I'm definitely checking out the new article!

I see you write a lot of spiritual post. I do to, although in ebook form and posted on Amazon kindle.

Im definitely checking out those post too.

Thanks for the follow. Followed back.

Margaret Minnicks (author) from Richmond, VA on July 02, 2020:

Farrah, thanks for reading my article and commenting on it. I just posted a companion article, "Things I Have Done." That article balances out the things I have not done.

FYI: I just signed up to follow you. I see some interesting articles of yours I intend to read.

Farrah Young from Lagos, Nigeria on July 02, 2020:

Wow! That's quite a lot of 'never-dones'. I'm guessing you are a cautious and meticulous person to not have done some of those things like lose a house key or being in an accident. My husband is that way too and his meticulous quality has come through for us on more than one ocassion.

I, on the other hand, am the scatterbrain of the family and have done over half of your list and then some.

Roslyn on July 01, 2020:

July is my birth month also.

Amanda, I don't use chap stick because I use an expensive lipstick when I go out. I use Mac lipstick. I was afraid to skip college classes; so I didn't cut any classes either.

Thanks for responding.

Amanda Robinson from Grand Rapids, Michigan on June 28, 2011:

No chap stick?! How do you keep your lips mositurized? :) I enjoyed reading this. Makes me think about some of my own. Here's a good one: Most people have skipped a college class. I never once skipped a class while in college :) Call me a nerd...but I wanted to get my money's worth :)

Margaret Minnicks (author) from Richmond, VA on March 05, 2011:

Betty, you know my style, don't you? I am working on that list.

Betty Johansen on March 05, 2011:

Fascinating! Now I'm waiting for the list of things you HAVE done.

Margaret Minnicks (author) from Richmond, VA on March 02, 2011:

Dave, that's exactly the way I feel about it. Thanks for saying it that way.

Dave Mathews from NORTH YORK,ONTARIO,CANADA on March 02, 2011:

revmjm: there are many things of your list that I have and have not done. I will trust God to lead me to the things that need doing, and hold me back from those that don't need doing.

Margaret Minnicks (author) from Richmond, VA on March 01, 2011:

PROGERS, yes it is surprising that some of the things I haven't done, but that's okay because surely I have done some things that make me "average."

Thanks for reading and responding.

PROGERS on March 01, 2011:

I am surprised that you have not done some of the things like lost your house keys, this is more common than uncommon, at least I believe, but I have done many things on the list and some of the things I have not and most of them I enjoyed when I was doing it.

Margaret Minnicks (author) from Richmond, VA on March 01, 2011:

Treasuresofheaven, I'm sure you are surprised that I have not done some of the things that the average person has done. On the other hand, I have done many things that the average person has not dared to do. So the two lists balance themselves out.

I am taking your advice and shutting down my computer this afternoon to have some fun!

Sima Ballinger from Michigan on March 01, 2011:

Revmjm this an interesting list. And I am surprised that you have not done many of the things on the list. But on the other hand, it good you have not had to undergo some of the things on the list, especially in the health wellness section.

A delightful read, and something to think about. Vote Up! Now get out and have some fun!

Margaret Minnicks (author) from Richmond, VA on March 01, 2011:

Feel free to post something the average person has done that you haven't done.
