I'll go the easy route. Money. Lots of it. Then I can do the other stuff people do with it. You know stocks, bonds, ect… A nicer cruncher and a nice chunk for giving away to what I believe is a worthy cause. Just things that people with lots of money do.

Yes, that would be lovely. For all to recognize that, flawed and imperfect though we be, we are still worthy of love, respect, and fair treatment. Christ's 11th Commandment - Love your neighbor as you do yourself, treat others as you would have them treat you. If we could all do that, the world would be a much better place.

Amen, Brother Donald. Amen.

Amen indeed.


(But failing that, a girlfriend who likes trains as much as I do. Better yet, she's rich so I can quit working and do train stuff full time.)

I would like a time machine so I can visit my childhood again, and maybe some other epochs in the past.

After that it is hard to think about what belongs under the tree.

A healthy dose of Altruism for everyone and perhaps some IQ points as well.

I'll settle for not being repulsive and not finding me repulsive.

A platinum Rolex Cosmograph Daytona or a really pretty girlfriend.

This reminds me of what my brother did for his father-in-law. The father-in-law was always asking for a Rolex watch, so my brother bought a Timex watch, popped the crystal off, scratched out the Ti, and with a sharpie wrote in Ro. Last I heard, his father-in-law still wears it.

You're digging holes guys :-)

I thought my standard was reasonable, especially since it cuts both ways.

I could work with that.

Money? I think I just have to be patient, I know I'll get something, just not what or when, so it's just wait.

Money of course I'd like more but I do have enough. What I'd like is a properly working back and to a much lesser extent my hair back.

My ceiling can't do this, Grace would love it, lots of climbing and exploring to do there.
