That was kind of fun!   Jacob was reading this over my shoulder and is a bit creeped out by #26.  He asked if I was 6 years old or something.   HA!  Nope!  It was all is good taste.  My dearest friend, who for the moment will remain nameless and I were "house-sitting" a house (with a pool) during our later teen years.   A private backyard, with trees all around.   Just the squealing two of us!    We HAD to say we did that at least once!  
Fun memories!

I"m more shocked by the things you HAVEN'T done... you've never had chicken pox, or been stung by a bee???

Ha Maria! Cool as a cucumber around bees....don't remember being ever stung at least! And chickenpox....my mom doesn't remember that I ever had them either! Apparently there are a bunch in my family (uncles, cousins) that seem to be immune. Who knows?
