Actually this clever little observation of the paradox we call life hit me like a ton of bricks 30 years ago: Life is a game in which what isn't, is more important than what is. Let the good times roll. - Werner Erhard |

When I get to wishing I had this and that, I stop and look at what I already have ~ a great family, a warm house and laughter. What more do I really need? ![]() Although a nice flatscreen TV would be nice for the bedroom!

Great point, Fizzy, if the thread title says "if you could have anything you needed..." instead of "wanted..." ![]() I wonder if "I want to not want anything" would work.

Like most people here, I have pretty much everything I could want. I say pretty much because, to be totally honest about it, there’s one thing I've really wanted ever since I was a kid. But, for various reasons, I never saw fit to buy it for myself. Over the years I’ve hinted as to how ecstatic I'd be to get it as a gift, whether on Christmas or maybe my birthday. But, to this day, no one has ever taken the time to really listen to me, let alone see fit to buy it for me. And it really isn’t an extravagant thing at all. I forget what it's called but what it is is one of those rectangular things with wood along one side and some kind of material I’ve never actually identified hanging down the other side. It has some sort of contraption attached and should never be wetted, although an occasional coating with oil is okay. It makes a funny sound and looks especially good against a green background. I’ve dreamt of this same gift virtually every night of my life since I first saw one so many years ago. Maybe someday my dream will come true and someone will finally get one of those things for me that I just described. Until then, I’ll continue to content myself with good health, a wonderful family, terrific friends and a highly rewarding career. It’s not like I have much choice in the matter anyway |

Now, you said you would get me the nice orange kitty I want if I get you the boat -- I can do that . . . and you'll even be able to fit it in the garage.

You guys are going to have trouble right out of the gate. Cats don't like water. If I could have anything I wanted....... I'd want a ray gun in outer space that I could push a button and make all the Leftists in the world turn into ozone. We'd have World Peace, and fix the global warming problem all at the same time..... |

OK, Larry, you get to have the monster laser, but only if this leftist gets a giant mirror.

We're even pet-ready, IT, because we have the automatic pet door. We don't, however, have a dock for the boat . . . or any water nearby.
