wishing well

[rachel]

I was thinking that it would be wonderful if each person on this forum had the chance to have one wish, just one that would affect our lives big time from that moment on. I am hoping that we can get some interesting answers. Whether they are serious and practical or whimsical or wierd it doesn't matter as long as it is something you really really would wish if you could stand at a magic wishing well and wish for just one thing.
So I'll start. If I could have just one wish it would be to have a bank account that never goes down one dollar and starts out with five million. I would give to the poor but not for bandaid measures. No I would send them to get educated, buy them their own little house and car and the means to take care of them. I would ensure every child had the necessities of life and treats too so they could have a childhood of dignity and happiness.I would pay for convicted people I believed to be innocent to be proven innocent by dna and I would pay for really secure and well stocked safe houses for women and children.
Any thoughts from the rest of you. your own aircraft, owning a football team(perish the thought) whatever. the sky is the limit at the Magic Wishing Well.

I wish my father could get well enough to come home from the Nursing/Rehab home. He has been on a ventelator since June but at this point he is slowly being weaned off. He's at a point where he's off the machine during the day, but gets put back on at night. He had a combination heart attack and stroke a year and a half ago, from which he recovered enough to come home. This past June he got pneumonia, and with his weak heart he could not pump fluid out of his lungs fast enough. He's had all sorts of other issues come up since then. But he's a fighter, and keeps prevailing.

I wish that that no intelligent life had developed on earth, that certainly would be an improvement.

[Rachy]

I wish I could take back every hurtful thing I've said, and that I could forget every hurtful thing thats been said to me

[rachel]

awh Rachy that shows your tender and good heart. Someone once told me that wrongly said words are like someone going to the top of a hill on a windy day with a bag of feathers and scattering them into the fast moving air. It is impossible to take them back but a good heart felt apology and then watching what you say in the future really does heal a lot. I find that if I say something like a poem or prayer or something beautiful in my head when I am upset it gives me time to be calm and think what I will say. I will pray for you to be healed in your sweet heart.
Virgil I will pray for your papa too. I lost the parents that raised me, the woman when I was thirteen and the gentleman several years ago. He had emphysema and then cancer. He was not a fighter so he went quickly. Your father sounds like you, or rather you like your father, courageous and noble. What a blessing he is. He deserves to have a break.
AimusSage what do you mean by that statement, a very extraordinary one.

[AimusSage]

What I mean is that it's useless to wish for things. Better say you are going to make it happen. Wishing implies that you wait for it to happen, instead of realizing it, it's living in the past or future, instead of acting in the present.

My wish is paradoxal, and illustrates a point. If I wish that no intelligent life had developed and the wish was granted, I would not exist. I am intelligent and was born on this rock. (contrary to what some people might say) Thus I would be unable to utter my wish. This means intelligent life was allowed to develop, and I would again wish it, creating a vicious circle, where there would be no progress.

Sometimes it is better to act upon a thought then to make a wish.

Thank you very much, Rachel. I hope all your wishes come true.

I wish I had no wishes.

[Nightshade]

I wish that I can make just one person truelly and utterlly happy for just one moment but that they rememeber that moment for ever and that they pass it on like a conttagious joy disease the spreads across the world.

:D

I remember the story of a very poor man who used to walk past a certain piano making production place each day on his way to work. He was tired and thin and his life seemed hopeless. He would stand on a tuft of grass and looking at the factory he would wish that some day he would own it. It came true. And look at Michael Eisner who at one time only worked in a theatre part time ushering and all that. And then one day he became head of the studio. Wishes to me are prayers and if they happen to be the right wishes they come true. I really believe that.
I was dreadful in English all thru school, couldn't diagram a sentence if my life depended upon it. But I wanted to write. I did not have the privelege of going to university or anything like that for I graduated at sixteen and was turned out of my home.(stepmother, no she wasn't wicked, she just believed when you graduate out you go.) I couldn't get a student loan because the man that raised me made far too much money.
So at nineteen I went in the dead of night to British Columbia and ended up in a strange little hick town with a friend. I began to run out of money and so did she. We went to the next city Trail and went into an employment place. She filled out a form and as I was bored I did too but just for fun.I meant to throw it in to the garbage but it got picked up and handed in. A few minutes later a man came out and asked who the smart mouth was that said they wanted a job dancing in an old folks home. I went red and put my hand up. He called me in and told me I was a great writer(he wasn't well I think) and said there was a vacancy for women's editor. I went and met the editor and he thought I was about thirteen and told me to buzz off. I told him what I wanted and he sent me to the women's editor that was leaving. She laughed for what seemed an eternity when she saw I had no credentials. I asked for a month, just one month to come and watch her. I got the job and what is more Simon Fraser University commended me for some writing and I belive bought it at the time thru my editor. my wish came true. it does happen.And so I wish for everyone that something good comes to you all that means a lot to you.

[Virgil]

Great story, Rachel. Someday you'll have to write your memoirs. I'll be first in line to buy a copy.

[RobinHood3000]

Not if I have anything to say about it, and I'll be armed with a bow. I SHALL BE FIRST, I SAY!!

[emily655321]

That's a wonderful story, Rachel.

[Nightshade]

Bless your insane hearts, Ill be first because a) Ill track her down and stalk her and b) Ill nag till I get it ;) :nod:

[Pensive]

I wish that this will prove to be a happy year for everyone (those whose hearts are pure) especially I hope that no natural disaster like earthquake, storm or flood will hit the earth.

[Virgil]

Just crossed my mind Pensy, were you near the earthquake that struck Pakistan this year?

[Pensive]

Just crossed my mind Pensy, were you near the earthquake that struck Pakistan this year?

Ummm, well.....it was felt where I live (not by me, but the person who was with me that time felt it a lot Actually I was on the computer that time and when I am busy, I feel nothing.) At some people's home, things were misplaced but it was NOTHING compared to the one which hit the northern parts of Punjab and N.W.F.P

[Virgil]

Hopefully they are putting their lives togther again. I know the tradgedies will be felt for a life time.

[Scheherazade]

Since everyone else has been selfless enough to wish for world peace and happiness for all, I will make a more selfish wish...

I wish stupidity hurt.

[Taliesin]

Ouch.

And we thought that you would wish Kitkats.

[Basil]

OW!! THE PAIN! MAKE IT GO AWAY! MAKE IT GO AWAY!!

*runs away, screaming*

[starrwriter]

OW!! THE PAIN! MAKE IT GO AWAY! MAKE IT GO AWAY!!

*runs away, screaming*
Basil, you're a breath of fresh air in this dour group. Or maybe you're just fresh -- I can't decide which. In any event you remind me of myself. :cool:

[Basil]

[starrwriter]

*runs away, screaming*
(I should have seen that coming.)

Don't run away from the truth, Basil. We're brothers under the skin and you know it.

[Weeping Willow]

Great story, Rachel. Someday you'll have to write your memoirs. I'll be first in line to buy a copy.

Me too.... Rachel please write for us a book! :D...

[Pensive]

Um......Scher, How can you say that it was not selfish of me to wish that no earthquake will hit anyplace this year? I live in this world and if earthquake will hit, then I can also die, I will also suffer.....very selfish of me

Actually, it was....you know that I am quite selfish but I think that most of the people are. Perhaps everyone is....

[Weeping Willow]

Since everyone else has been selfless enough to wish for world peace and happiness for all, I will make a more selfish wish...

I wish stupidity hurt.

Hi Scheher.. i liked it so much i'm using it to make a pin button
Hope you don't mind.. :D..
Thanks .. :lol:

[samercury]

Me too.... Rachel please write for us a book! :D...

support that
I wish I could take away everyone's pain and make them at peace...

[RobinHood3000]

But then everybody will die! :(

[samercury]

Is that what it sounds like?

[RobinHood3000]

...yes! Yes, it is!

[rachel]

Oh no M'Lord, surely you are mistaken. If no one had pain would they not live forever, albeit some of them not exactly happy.
what a dove you are little Same.
that is the cutest avatar Willow, wherever do you find that sort of thing?

I wish I had a new car, in fact not even new just in better condition than my current vehicle....the back windows have stopped working and I think the gearbox is about to go :(

Better to take public transportation, bicycle or walk. Henry Ford was Satan's minion for inventing the mass production of affordable cars. People are now slaves to them and millions are maimed and killed every year in accidents. Wars are fought over oil, most of which is used for gasoline. It's all madness on a grand scale.

[rachel]

kilted,
since my wish was for a bank account that never grows less so I can help others -here you go mate - the car of your choice with your name emblazoned in your clan colors along the side.( and a box of duct tape in case the salesman was a dirty liar) :brow:
