To have enough money that I never have to worry about money.
That it could be warm in the winter, and still snow.
To have a photographic memory.
Selfless Wishes
That I could buy every kid in the world a really cool birthday present.
That the Backstreet Boys decide to become roadies for some obscure Indonesian bar band.
That all collection agencies would suddenly realize that they’re basically terrorists and decide to send all the money they’ve collected to worthy charities.

I try to stay away from those wish-granting guys. I’d probably end up with a 12-inch pianist or an ostrich and a cat who stiffs the bartender or something like that.
The only 3 wishes I would want is #1. good health of my family and I. #2 For my baby and I to live closer #3 the last one has to do with a bit of a family issue that is WAY too personal to discuss on here, but I wish for it anyway.
And as long as I’m nitpicking over other people’s wishes … Mr KnowItAll wrote:
How about wishing for a world in which resources are so plentiful that there’d be no need to make profits to begin with? (Like in the Star Trek universe, with those damned Replicators capable of making all the necessities and luxuries of life just by your speaking a voice command.)
Someone on this board is my alter-ego. For my entire known life, my wishes have been:
1)To have the power of Superman 2)To be able to reach into my pocket and pull out the exact amount of money I need.
And 3)To have a book that could answer any question I asked in exacting and perfect detail, with, if needed, step by step instructions
Damn incredible, no?
Right now, though, they are:
1)To have the power of Superman
2)To be Jeana’s hero
3)To have my personal peace and trust in humanity restored
Reasons:
1)He is the epitome of everything I would like to be. Strong, tall, handsome, and he can fly, has heat vision, nigh invulnerable, perfect micro, macro, tele, and normal-scopic vision, has incredible audible range, amongst others. The Perfect man.
2)She needs one. Someone to make things right for her, someone she can depend on. Someone to lean on, someone to trust in, and someone to believe in. Someone who loves her.
3)The world was a better place.

We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first “lost generation” nor today’s lost generation; in fact, we think we know just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak.
I make a wish twice a day every day at 11:11. I take Novemeber 11th off as a holiday. Anyway, I have a standard wish that I always wish for. I always wish for love and happiness to everyone I know and love. Money doesn’t really matter. If you can survive then you are making enough money. It would be nice to have more but not necessary.
If the wishes came with the stipulation that it had to be selfish wishes I would wish for the following:
I wish that I could grow any plant to any size instantaneously by concentrating on it.
I wish that I could teleport.
I wish that no one else could duplicate my new found super powers.
Hey, I like the uniqueness.
HUGS!
