Ohh, # 14 is sweet…
Let me add a few more of my own
Have 5 kids (Who didn’t know that?)
Visit Norway with my children
Buy a yellow volkswagon bug convertible with a license plate that says “sunshine”
That’s all I can think of…
Ahh! Skip the Bodies Exhibit! The corpses come from Chinese embalming factories and are “certified” as willingly donated by the Chinese government, but not followed up or confirmed by the company that runs the exhibit. There’s convincing evidence that these are actually the bodies of executed political prisoners, conscientious objecters, Falun Gong members, and any other number of the people that go “missing” every year in China’s penal system; after all they do have one of the highest rates of execution in the world.

Sorry to be so negative, but I was in NYC when this opened and it freaked me out! Evidently my inner Amnesty International geek persists on some level.
Sincerely,
Debbie Downer
so how is 19 going?
