Walk On The Wild Side Day is April 12...I’m Not Sure I Even Have One

 

This is one of those days that I’m not quite sure how to celebrate. When I just a thoughtcame upon this celebratory day I had to pause because quite frankly, I’m not sure I have a wild side.

 

It’s not that I don’t know people who have a wild side...there are members here whom I perceive to have one (not mentioning who)

 

My southern upbringing coupled with my Asian heritage, throw in a dash of Girl Scouts and High School drill team and you do not get a recipe for someone who will even take a stroll on the wild side.

 

Oddly enough, my parents were not strict with me at all. I had no curfews. We were allowed to try an adult beverage (at a very early age) in their presence, and I think some of my cousins may have had a smoke or two.

 

The worse thing I ever did (that I can remember) was to eat a few brownies that were not exactly straight out of Betty Crocker’s recipe.  

 

And so, while I have no regrets for not having walked on the wild side, I kind of wish that there was some part of me that had or would walk that way. Nope...no wild side in this kid!

What about you?  What would you do to take a walk on the wild side?

Kathy, I am a firm believer that everyone has a wild side...sometimes we just have to find it :)

Kathy,

I think that the way I was brought up did not entice me to the wild side!  No curfews, no restrictions.  I take time to think things through and assess the pros and cons...A

Hi Kathy Streib - Being the oldest of 5 children, I developed responsibility early and never had a true wild side. I met my husband at 18 so we had some wild times. Have you driven at 140 mph down a freeway?  I will leave it there!

Hmm, I find that hard to believe and seem to recall of some wild times that you have shared.  I am certain that you get pretty wild when the Jayhawks are winning, haha.

While not as crazy as when I was younger, probably because I now know the risks involved and man, let's just say I was one lucky kid, I have not lost my lust for the wild side of life.

Life is short and then you die.

Perhaps I calculate the risks a bit more today. But I still do things like jump into a moving car. When the opportunity presents itself, I typically grab it.

One of the things I love about my friend Myrl Jeffcoat is she is always game for some hair-brained idea I may concoct.

Sally K. & David L. Hanson I think I spent too many years as a Girl Scout. 

Myrl Jeffcoat I wish I had that gene. 

Donald Urschalitz yeh but yours is on the cool side.

That's my theory Nina Hollander 

Grant Schneider I was thinking of her just the other day. 

Barbara Todaro I was as wild as I could handle, I think, which was still pretty mild.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty good point. Or maybe what we think isn't wild, to some others is. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I did my sharing of clubbing and staying out until "last call" when I was younger, but nothing really wild.

Lorrie Semler, REALTOR® in the Dallas area. Call/text 972-416-3417 good point. May have to try that. 

Sharon Lee you're on your wild side!!

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® tops my mild side. We did take our friend's boat out once after heavily indulging in adult beverages and anchored it in Lake Boca. We then spent the night there.

Morning Kathy.

It all depends on what one considers the "wild side".  If you're talking about adult beverages prior to being of legal age to consume, I'm guilty.  Otherwise, no ma'am, no wild side for me

You look pretty wild behind the wheel of that Corvette. No Hands!

I am still planning my wild phase.
