Hey Pandas, What's The Coolest Thing You’ve Ever Done? (Closed)

Got my associates in nursing 1981. Then 2010, went back for my masters in nursing,

Wrote an entire book on all the reasons that Noah's Ark wouldn't work IRL. Now all I need is a publisher.

Probably climbing a mountain deep on the Antarctic continent. On foot of course. Cool in every sense of the term!

Got clean and sober on what will be THIRTY years come March 2nd 2022.

Absolutely destroyed a perfect wave (body surfing) at Hermosa beach CA. summer of 1979 then kissed one of the most sensuous young women on the planet in front of God and everybody immediately after...what a day of days that was . Miss you Joanne, still in my thoughts to this day, Ken G.

I caught a bluebottle, in mid flight (with my left hand) and my daughter laughed and said i missed it. I threw the fly from about 6 foot away and it landed in her open mouth. Wish someone had a phone recording at the time...

The best part about this post is that it doesn’t matter what others think. It’s the coolest thing you have ever done and I love the posts

I CAUGHT A BALL IN GYM

used the most perfect combo on a higher rank player in dragonball fighterz ranked matches

and half the classes were on line. Self taught computer skills

Experienced true love. The relationship lasted four years and didn’t work out, but I still think about her 17 years later.
We keep in touch and check on each other every year or two.
I am happy knowing that I will never experience love on that level again because many people will never get that chance.
Obviously this is subjective but I am comfortable knowing that I am lucky. I hope to find another love that makes me happy at this point in life, but I dont feel the need.

I never gave up on finishing High School. I did it and graduated with a full diploma at 27.

Scuba Dived in Cancun and almost died because of it! I was diving a shipwreck about 85 feet down(technically deeper than I am licensed to do) and there was a really strong current.

As I dove down, I found with each breath I was getting a spritz of seawater(for obvious reasons, the regulator is supposed to be airtight.) As I reached the bottom, where you can't just bolt to the surface safely, I started coughing as the water burned my mouth and throat.

Eventually, the coughing got bad enough it threw my regulator out of my mouth. Desperately, I moved my arm in a huge swipe and managed to grab my regulator again, shove it in my mouth, and purge the water with an intensified stream of air.

Honestly, not just one of the scariest, but also one of the coolest things I have EVER done. Although 10/10, would NOT recommend almost dying on the bottom of the ocean.

Spoke up to a bully. When I was 13.
Bully: "Lol can't you speak?" (I stutter, still do)
Me: "Yes. I can" (was able to say that without stuttering too) Then I walked away.

Had a bad day. Quit my job. Moved to Australia. Learned how to scuba & surf.

Walked the Camino de Santiago from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port France to Cape Finisterre at the Atlantic Coast in Spain. Took me 2 months to backpack 840 kilometers, but I'm 65 and my little sister wanted her ashes at Cruz de Ferro, a large iron cross in the middle of the Camino walk. I'd never done anything like it before, and never thought I'd complete it, but she always believed in me. I met some fantastic people and found out I'm stronger than I thought.

I held a koala for about 15 min. The koala was so sweet and snuggly I wanted to take her home. She put her head on my chest and did a tight snuggle. Fur was so thick and deep, I couldn’t see my fingers. Loved every minute of it.

Helped rescue newly hatched baby sea turtles.

I am a car nerd, and I got to drive a 2005 Lamborghini gallardo from Santa Monica to Calgary Canada. By myself. Wide open roads. This was 2007. It was the most amazing two days alone I have ever had.

Removed my jacket on a snowy day.
