Skipped school $

Been to Canada $ (and I have family who were born/ live there)

Ridden in an ambulance $

Been to Hawaii nope

Been to Las Vegas $ (I lived and went to school there. I have a road map of the old Vegas burned into my mind, with each place a relative lived or worked, or the stores we went to)

Been to Texas $ (So big, so beautiful, wide open spaces. One of the prettiest places I have ever visited. I long to go again. My soul yearns to touch soil on the Lone Star State once more).

Visited Mexico $ (lived in a rural mountain area of Baja for a minute)

Been to the Bahamas nope

Seen the Grand Canyon in person (I have been there but I don't remember it at all. I lived sorta in the general vicinity. It might be a suppressed memory)

Been on TV $ (I sang would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon on Las Vegas news program in first grade, during an assembly. I've been on TV news a couple other times, but this one was memorable.)

Stayed in the hospital $ (this one is redundant, as they already asked if I rode in an ambulance)

Donated blood or plasma $ (plasma is freaky. I kinda blacked out and had a medical emergency. I had to remain hooked into the machine until they could extract the plasma and put the blood back in my body. It was really bad. Fainting and weak. Needless to say I found out about a health problem while donating and learned I couldn't ever again. Red Cross blood donation, other than dizziness was not so bad. Can't donate anything ever again as a cancer survivor.)

Gotten a piercing $ (Honey, I pierced my own eyebrows and lower lip with safety pins during math class and typing class one day in the tenth grade)

Driven a stick shift vehicle $ (does a dirtbike or quad count?)

Gotten a speeding ticket $ (only once, when I was across town hurrying to pick up my daughter from daycare. It was an extra 60 per hour charge if I was late).

Gotten stitches or staples $

Traveled alone $ (many many places, and seen things and experienced things oh man, many people haven't.)

Been zip lining $ (3/10 do not recommend)

Been to another country $ (Mex and Can. I lived in Mexico for a tiny moment)

Shot a gun $ (I was learning marksmanship firing .22s before I could even write cursive)

Gotten a tattoo $ (and paid to get it removed within the same year)

Been divorced: I've never even been in a relationship, so... no

Been to Disney World: A loooooong time ago. I remember really not liking it. I dont do rides.

Skipped school: No, because I would have gotten caught. But I constantly wanted to do it.

Been to Canada: No

Ridden in an ambulance: Thankfully no

Been to Hawaii: Yep! Forever ago. The island of Maui specifically.

Been to Las Vegas: Yep. It was very... gold. I remember a labyrinth, made of slot machines. This was right after my 21st birthday, the trip was a gift from family. And no, I didnt lose money there. Every time I've ever been in a casino, I come out with more than I started with.

Been to Texas: Yes! My grandparents used to live down there. Now my grandma lives about 15 minutes away, which is much better.

Visited Mexico: no

Been to the Bahamas: Yes, but my memory of this is very hazy.

Seen the Grand Canyon in person: No but that would be neat

Been on a ferry boat: Probably

Sung in the rain: Me? Sing? What?

Been to California: ???

Been to New York: ???

Played in band/schools: Good grief no.

Sang in choir: See above

Sang karaoke: Again with the singing, why would I do that

Laughed so much you cried: frequently. Thanks, Youtube.

Caught a snowflake on your tongue: what

Had/Have/ children: the very idea of this makes me feel like I should go find an exorcist or something.

Had/Have a pet: Always. Unfortunately, the pain of pets from years past also persists.

Been skiing/sledding on a big hill: Does a toboggan count?

Rode on a motorcycle: No, too dangerous for me.

Been to a drive-in movie: No

Rode an elephant or camel: What?

Rode a Horse: No, I'd fall off or something

Been on TV: Probably not

Stayed in the hospital: No

Donated blood or plasma: No

Gotten a piercing: Holy heck no.

Driven a stick shift vehicle: I can drive anything EXCEPT that.

Gotten a speeding ticket: More than once

Gotten stitches or staples: Staples. It was dumb. Just... so dumb.

$ Gotten a speeding ticket

$ Been zip lining - not since I was a kid.

$ Shot a gun - many times as a teenager. Many years ago it was a perfectly normal passtime for teenagers to drive down country roads at night with spotlights and semi automatic rifles shooting rabbits. It was a fun sport, and as rabbits are a serious threat to our natural environment it was seen as a community service. I was quite a good shot.
