Not to worry, Craig - I've not done any of them yet! LOL
The only one I have done was to have a conversation with the lady who cut my hair last week.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
For lunch, I decided to go to a little lunch cafe downtown. There are a few, and this one had fewer people in it. I chatted with the cook for a while after ordering my sandwich. Soon, a gentleman came in and the three of us chatted about everything under the sun - the weather, hunting, traveling, you name it. I had started the ball rolling with "don't you love that we're getting cooler weather tomorrow???" They picked up the ball, and we had a great conversation.
Next Challenge (and this is going to be a step-up on the challenge scale):
Go to Home Depot, Lowes, or other hardware store or garden center. The purpose of this assignment is for you to approach someone with assistance or with a question. Guys (especially, but not necessarily), hang around in an area you feel comfortable with, and when you see someone who looks a little "lost" or like they have a question, offer your assistance. Even if it's just to call an associate. Gals (especially, but not necessarily), go look for something you need, but something you need a little help in finding or choosing. Ask someone for assistance. The guy/gal thing is offered just as a guide. Go do what you feel comfortable in doing.

Mission Accomplished!
Went into a restaurant and chatted with handsome older gentleman. While I thought he was very attractive, he was a bit older than I would prefer. We had a very good conversation. Afterward he gave me his phone number and asked me to call him.
Now, I did ask a man for directions to the pier (I really did need directions). I think he was married, because he was riding a bike with his wife . . . but he was also elderly.
Now, I think it's time to get creative with the challenges . . .
Your Mission Should You Choose to accept it, is to chat with someone of the opposite sex of a different racial background than your own. And to make this a little bit easier. I've set up a little diagram that will tell you exactly what race to chat up.
Find your birth month (eg. March, April, May), beside it will be the race that you are suppose to chat up. If you find that your b-day month asks you to chat up someone of the same racial background as yourself, you must choose the month above yours (eg. You're born in March, March = Hispanic, but you are Hispanic, then you'd go with February). The same applies if your local is particularly homogeneous and you can't find that particular race/ethnicity, go with the month above it--If you're born in January, go to December.
January = White/Caucasian
February = Hispanic
March = Black/African American
April =Asian/Pacific Islander
May =Middle Eastern/Persian
June = Black/African American
July =White/Caucasian
August =Asian/Pacific Islander
September = Hispanic
October = Middle Eastern/Persian
November =Black/African American
December =Asian/Pacific Islander

Mission #1 FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED. I went to Wal-Mart to return a litter box and had a nice little chat with the (male) clerk about cats. However, I missed the boat on the compliment thing by failing to say, "It was a pleasure dealing with you."
The latest one sounds interesting. However, the area where I live is surprisingly short on asian and middle eastern men ... at least when I'm not on day shift (thereby working in the college town.) Another challenge that might have to wait a week, when I can go to Kinko's and accomplish this.
Bummer that I wasn't born in February or September. I LIKE latino men! (Not that I see too many of them around here anyway.)

Okay, so I GUESS I got one of them accomplished on Saturday. I stopped into the local soccer store (I've known the owner for years) to see what referee stuff they had. I chatted with the guy there (quite young) for about 10 minutes as I asked a variety of questions and stuff. It was quite pleasurable. Fortunately, we were the only people in the store at the time, so it wasn't hard to do.

Ii have a new neighbor in the first floor of the house behind mine. She introduced herself to me a couple of weeks ago as I was taking my trash out. She is a married lady with her husband in Irag, and they have two children. She is a very outgoing and friendly type of person.
Last night she came to my door and invited my to a cookout at her place with several other people. I had planned to go to the high school football game tonight so I thought I would stop by for a quick hello and go on to the game.
So I went over about 5:30. Besides the hostess, who was preparing food in the apartment, there was a family of three there. Later another couple came to join the group. I decided to stay and eat and not go to the game.

Mission accomplished: I went into a little store/eatery and looked around for something to buy. I wasn't really hungry, but there was a guy who had on an interestin tie. It had smiley faces all over them. So I complimented him on the tie and asked him where he'd gotten it. We had a good laugh about it, because it was one of the most unique ties I'd ever seen.
Utilityfielder, I think it's great that you actually decided to stay and hang out with your neighbors rather than go to an "entertainment" venue. Y'know, sometimes, I think we americans are "entertained" out of real social lives, and real relationships. Obviously, sitting in front of a t.v., movie screen, baseball field, hockey rink, etc. etc. to watch something cuts down on actual social interaction. Sometimes, I think church does that too, when we just go listen to one guy, instead of actually socializing with each other--fellowshipping! Okay, I'm getting off of my soap box. On to accomplish another mission!

Talking about Lowes, that gives me an idea for my next challenge. Have you thought about what your challenge will be yet?
