Just for fun, name the weirdest, strangest, or downright funny thing you have ever done.
Can't wait!
I'll start!
I went on a Honeymoon with 40 guys! (yep I know, the mind boggles!) long story, my hubby had been a naughty boy before I met him, and after prison, (only silly things, not dangerous) and stayed at a halfway house on a farm with other guys. So, what did I do? Well, obviously we went there for our honeymoon. it was in Somerset England and was a beautiful place. LOL'
Now you!
Bring it on!
Oh, and I ran away with a Romany gypsy and lived in an old Vardo! (caravan)
Hi Nell,
That's an interesting thread and a fun read.
I am thinking deeply about the strangest thing, I have done---. Would share once I remember.
Just wanted to say that it was great to hear from you.
Thank you!

I can't come up with anything as interesting as the rest of you, but I'm really enjoying reading everyone's stories.
Now Janis, I'll bet that if you thought about it, you could come up with something as silly as I did.
OK. One time a friend and I began crawling along the floor at a store pretending to look for a contact lens that had popped out to see if anyone would help us look for it. To our amazement, a few people tried.
lol! that is the sort of thing my son would do!
Hi Nell,
I cannot top your story, however, my friend Edie and I in Girl Scout Camp wrapped little clear water snakes around our wrists and anckles and swam with them in the St. Johns River. We had a lot of adventures growing up.
One Sunday, when we were supposed to be in church, we went skinny-dipping in Devil's Den. We were 14 then.
Take care, and it's great to hear from you.

HI Bobbi, so good to see you! And swimming with snakes, yikes! lol! and so daring going skinny dipping! I only did that once at a pool party from the pub. I hid at one end so no one would see me, LOL!
Hi Bobbi,
Good to hear from you. Hope all is well at your end.
Thank you for sharing your story in the thread.
Best wishes.
In the summer before my senior year in high school, our family became Carnies for a time. We were on vacation, didn't want it to end, but had run out of money....
My very cool Dad said let's work here and hang around a little longer, and so we did! I will never forget the experience.
I was the operator for the bumper cars. No worries...I had an hour's training! LOL
I guess this really isn't strange or all that daring but .... There were a lot of old mining pits in the Ozark Mountains where I grew up. In my mid teens some of us used to get together and go swimming at one place we referred to as "The Pit" because nobody had ever dared swim to the bottom of it. Really original, huh? Anyway one beautiful summer day there were about a Baker's dozen of us all swimming and having fun, and I realized that all but one of us had our Red Cross Life Saving badges. So I guess we were pretty safe as safety goes.
My mother knew that we were swimming at The Pit, but she didn't know what it was. My dad did, and when he found out I'd been swimming there with her permission, he wasn't happy. But when he realized that most of our crowd were trained "life savers" and compared it to some of his young escapades, he didn't forbid me to go either.
I agreed to marry a man after dating for just two weeks.
It's nine years on and the worse decision I've ever taken.

There's that old saying about a sucker being born every minute and I have to say, I'm a little surprised by some of the things that people will actually spend money on. Some of the purchases made through my Hubs (which were not on my Hubs) are just very odd. The most memorable to date are:The...

Driving home in the rain today, listening to the radio, I heard them talking about this very thing and they were telling the story of some 44 year old woman who apparently sent three very bizarre emails in her sleep. As a child I used to sleepwalk, but I can't think of anything really strange...

Yesterday evening, when we walked outside to the car, I could smell a skunk. In my front yard! I've never been that close to one before, as far as I know, other than roadkill. A few hours later the smell had dissipated. What's the oddest thing that has happened to you recently?
