    Stressful you mean. Granted, but you'd be living in the Institute of Mental Health and planting apple trees in the middle of Orchard Road because you saw the word "orchard".

    I wish I was God.

    Granted, but you'd never get sundays off, like most folks do, because that's when everyone on earth goes 'God-Bothering'.... No perks to the job, ya see...?



    I wish I could wish for something that really would come true...

    Granted. But then you would want something else and then something else, and then something...never really being happy.

    I wish The Gulf Coust of the US would recover soon so my FEMA Budhist boyfriend would come home.

    But when he comes home, he's converted to being a jehovah's witness, and keeps knocking out of habit....

    I wish I could make absolutely perfect glutinous rice and sushi....

    (I have to add to this one)

    Granted, but you know have worms living in your brain from eating too much sushi. (Did you know that REALLY does happen?? I used to eat sushi all the time, until I read and saw pictures about that!).

    I wish I was better at arm balances when doing yoga.

    (That's a fallacy... and that's what the wasabi is for... it's extremely anti-viral and antiseptic.... providing the fish is absolutely fresh - and no self-respecting sushi shef or caterer would use anything else - there is no danger....)

    fed - is that really a fallacy? So all those pictures and information I have seen are fake? I used to LOVE eating sushi, but quit because of that!


    As for you having a day off every now and then, granted, but now you take days off for granted and do not enjoy them as much as you used to.

    I wish I had my own yoga studio!

    DISTINCTLY OFF TOPIC...
    Truly, Yogamama, Sushi if prepared properly, is like any other food.... Chicken and slmonella, raw pork and tapeworms....and I have to say, while I view the prospect of eating fish which parasitic worms with total and utter distaste, I was reliably informed by someone I contacted at the poisons unit in Guy's Hospital, London, that no parasite in fish has been known to counter-infect or inhabit a different species... Much is being said about illnesses like Mad Cow disease and bird flu, but these are biological illnesses, whereas parasites depend on a specific organism to survive....
    so providing your sushi source is reliable, you should have nothing to worry about.
    i have heard those who protest that sushi gives them an upset or runny tummy, but this is because our systems cannot always cope with raw animal protein.....

    I'M SORRY... BACK ON TOPIC....

    Sharpiegirl:
    Granted... but now you have developped such elite tastes, Harrods opens specially for you!

    YogaMama:
    Granted, but now you're in ther so often, your family's gonna move in with you..... !

    I wish....I wish...
    I WISH Women had equal status with men in Buddhism..... (ooooch!!)

    zinger: n; Latin zingus her 1) an insult directed to a female. to insinuate that someone wishing that Beauty Sleep actually worked might, in fact, be requiring a large amount of Beauty Sleep 2) a fluffy, creamed filled cake snack.
