A Meme of Checkmarks

 It's been awhile (maybe over a year?) since I've done an actual written post, so here is at least a meme instead of just pictures:

From an old GeneaMusing's post:

1)   A "Bucket List" meme went around Facebook several years ago where you put an "X" in the box if you have done it!  

2)  Copy and paste it into your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or on Facebook and fill it out (erase my entries and insert your own).
