One from my friend, I want her to live without all her current problems with immigration and this lawsuit against her. ---

Small - A Louis Vuitton bag. Not one with the logos all over it, but a beautiful, understated and classy one that would dress up what ever slobby outfit I ran out the door with that day. Big - 1) A loft smack dab in the middle of SoHo or Greenwich (sp?) Village in New York City, with floor to ceiling windows and lots of natural light for painting. 2) An apartment in Paris or Rome with enough room for my family to come and visit whenever they want without worrying about paying for a hotel. 3) That new Astin Martin sedan or a Porsche Panarama. Luxury cravings; you can’t have just one! 😃 ---

I’m assuming that the OP is looking for a physical thing. The problem is that for me physical possessions aren’t the problem. The problem is time. For example I would like a yacht and I could afford one, but I would have no time to use it if I bought it. I could quit my practice and then I’d have time, but then I couldn’t afford the yacht… ---

I was going to say, get my house finally fixed up, or travel, but really I think it would be this: > [@california\_jobcase](#): > > A (hot) maid- just someone to clean house, do my laundry, and go away. Every day. Maybe from Alabama or Ohio. > > Seriously. I’m pretty much a slob. I don’t care about hotness, but if she can keep my crap put away, that’s perfect. ---

I took a while to think about this, but if I had unlimited funds, I’d want a super cool house designed to my specifications. I often get wistful looking at pictures of kitchens and bathrooms of rich people with their fancy ass sinks and whatnot. I wish I could have something like that. There would be retractable sunroofs, infinity pools with waterfalls, the shower could be turned to mist, etc. It would be grand ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > My compound in the wilderness. My husband and I have been making plans for it for years now (not seriously, as we’ll probably never have the money to go build it properly, but it’s a dream for a possible future). I think we’ve got a moat, three or so pools (one that you can swim into and out of the building proper), some waterfalls, a grotto, cougars on patrol, a huge habitat for endangered animals, a large rectangular house with a courtyard in the middle, a heli-pad,…it’s a work in progress. 🙂 I would echo this sentiment but would place it up here in Alaska where I live. A nice 160-acre plot (standard homestead size) with either a creek or a lake on it. The periphery would be delineated by “NO HUNTING” signs and right below them a similar posting of “NO TRAPPING” with the standard warning that trespassers will be trapped and skinned. The land would have a feed station for ravens, some isolated suet stations for the small-smalls like weasels, squirrels, voles, foxes, etc, and an open area for willow growth fort the moose. In there somewhere would be a small cabin with a fenced area for a few dogs (dobies and pit bulls, both of which I have raised and which are extremely friendly given half a chance not to mention great hiking companions) and a nice meandering trail system. Oh, yeah…and a big neon sign on the outskirts that tells Sarah Palin she is an idiot as well as a quitter. Just knowing it’s there would drive her nuts. Uh..nuttier. ---

A living situation without roommates. I’m 27 years old and I have never ever in my whole entire life lived in a place that was only mine. It’s really the only thing I want that is totally out of reach. Rent here is out-fucking-rageous, I live paycheck to paycheck, and I can’t save money because I don’t make enough. Hopefully I can make it happen once my car is paid off. 3.5 years from now… ☹ ---
