What's the gutsiest thing that you never did?

redacted by me.

Run naked across the Campus green at UND in February. Air temp was -44F that day with a 15 mph head wind.

Took the SCUBA swimming test knowing I had never swam that far.

@WestRiverrat, @Sunny2, and @majorrich These are the gutsiest things that you never did? Are you sure you read the question correctly?

Almost married a guy who would have “sucked” me dry, blood/bone marrow and anything possibly left in me.

I actually made it, but just barely.

@Pied_Pfeffer Oops. Read too fast and was caught by the unexpected negative.

Gutsiest thing I never did was a Halo jump at night. I chickened out at the hatch.

My husband and I took our first tax refund and packed all our belongings and our three year old son into an old car and drove from Colorado to California, with no idea of a place to stay or work. We picked out a town on a map, Santa Barbara and stayed in a motel for a week while we looked for work and an apartment.

I was a bookkeeper, so finding work was easy for me. I found an apartment a couple of blocks from my office. My hubby found work a few weeks later, and the apartment building had a woman who did babysitting. It worked out for us, and our life continued to get better and better from there.

We eventually moved into a commune and quit our office jobs. Those were wonderful years.

I actually just remembered this after years and years of forgetting:

When I was eight my mother, my brother and I were leaving my father, because he was abusive. My grandfather told us he would take us to a safe house. Instead he gave us to a man who lived on his street, on a mountain. The man, Jim, told us if anyone came to get us he would “put them six feet under.”
He had a metal plate in his back. My brother back talked him the first day we were there, and he threw my brother on the bed. It looked like he was going to hurt Justin, so I jumped on his back, and he fell to the ground. I guess the metal plate in his back was sensitive, or something. Haha. I felt so strong.
About two weeks later my mother put us in school, and pretended she liked it there. Then when Jim went to get wood for the wood stove she called the police. When the cops got there they said “You’re a smart woman. It took the last woman two years to get away from him.” So, my mom was really the brave one. But I felt like a badass when I beat him up.

Let me try again. I did not fly to Mexico with a guy I’d only gone out with twice. He had had own plane. I might have gone if I liked him better, but I’d learned enough in two dates to know he was not for me.

I didn’t do it, thankfully. The guy that did do it almost froze them off, he spent 3 days in the hospital.

Okay. I thought of something gutsy I didn’t do.

“Divorce your husband and I will divorce my wife.” Is what I should have said. Instead, I said, “I can’t be around you anymore. We both have people who depend on us…”.

Get married. Have a kid.
Streefight with a guy on his territory.
Call for help while a man lay dying because there was a military vs rebel soldiers firefight outside.

Stick a ferret down my pants, came close but in the end, I cherish my nuts too much.

I just realized I misread it. Thought it said ever did, not never did. Hah.

Give up on everything I knew and move to America.

(It’s really hard to find the correct grammar to answer this question!!)

I got out of bed this morning.

I was born.
