**Tansu** , did you see this… “The house is wired for telephone and computer network throughout.” Already wired so we can have two computers networked. Three! Four! My only chance of ever buying this house is the lottery, so I’m starting to buy tickets. Can I have a glass of your wine? I’ll let you look at my house? ---

I want: A Tivo. A computer with a CD ROM that works. And a printer that has all of its printer heads working. Plane tickets to visit friends, Doper and otherwise. A cruise to celebrate five years of marriage to my husband. Another cat, plus a lackey to come clean the litterboxes daily. A house on several acres with a huge fenced yard for the dog, a swingset for the kid, and tons of gardening space for me. Someone to come clean and organize my desk (and life) every day. ---

I want: a kick ass powerbook and flat monitor, an unlimited gift card for Home Depot, a job for my hubby that pays enough so I can stay home with the kids, to feel like a teenager again but since I know it won’t happen, can I just settle on all my siblings being happy and getting along? ---
