    Granted! But then you'd be out of a job.

    I wish dust wouldn't collect so much in my house.

    Granted, but instead it just floats around in the air and gives you a bad chest infection!

    I wish I could train our cat to do all the house cleaning.

    Granted. But then he/she gets testy every time you walk through the house with your shoes on, dirty a dish, and forget to put the laundry in the hamper.

    I wish for the regrowth of my bonsai to its original plush state.

    Granted, but of course, you're going to wake up one morning and discover that your prize bonsai has come into contact with radioactive chemicals and took over the entire city - BON-ZILLA, AHHH!

    I wish I could go back to Europe!

    Granted, though every second person you meet demands you take their picture in front of some really awful art/statute etc.

    I wish I could control my temper.....

    I wish I was more sensitive and could the mind of girls. :(

    Don't we all!!!

    Granted.
    But now you can hear all the unladylike things that they think! :hair:

    I wish spiders weren't invented.

    Oh sure I wouldn't mind that. Either way granted, but now Spiderman wouldn't exist and you would have had ruined my childhood.

    I wish that some relationships could last till death.

    Granted, but now we have a terrible overpopulation of all the nasty bugs that spiders eat!

    I wish it was Spring so that I could pick fresh veggies from my garden again. :(

    edited January 2006
    Granted. But then all those bugs that the spiders didn't eat will be munching at your fresh veggies!

    I wish it wasn't cold and windy so I could walk down to the river today and meditate.

    Granted. But now it's about 95 with 95% humidity - you're sweating all over the place, your thighs are sticking together like two steamy pancakes and you're wishing for just a couple of days of cold and windy days.

    I wish this thread was more interesting... because I'm a jerk.

    Granted! But some of those relationships are unhealthy.

    I wish I could cure illness without anyone knowing.

    Granted, but then some shyster would come along and claim all the credit, and that would be so unfair!


    I wish I could reach the top shelves in supermarkets where they seem to put all the best bell peppers aubergines and courgettes - !!
  • BrigidBrigid Veteran
    edited January 2006
    Granted! But at 8' 6" (That's very, VERY tall) you bang your head on every doorway, hanging sign, and low ceiling, losing your memory of bell peppers, aubergines and courgettes in the process.

    I wish a shyster hadn't taken credit for all the healing I've done!
  • sharpiegirlsharpiegirl
    edited January 2006
    Granted..but because you took the credit, you gloated in all the fame and fortune, forgetting your true self...

    I wish I didn't activate that new credit card....
  • YogaMamaYogaMama
    edited January 2006
    Granted...but then you ran into financial problems and ended up declaring bankruptcy, which could have been avoided if you had just activated that credit card!!

    I wish that the majority of Christians weren't so hypocritical! (ouch!)

    Granted. But now you are used as an artpiece for nudist-art lovers to use, and your lungs now are still a healthy blood red that your doctor hates to see.

    I wish all my relationship problems just vanish right now and I had a clean start once more.
  • BrigidBrigid Veteran
    edited January 2006
    Granted! Really. Because every new moment is a new start. But, you'd have to make amends.

    I wish I'd never started smoking so I wouldn't have to quit in 3 weeks.

    Brigid is that you in your Avatar?
    Granted... But you shouldn't wait three weeks.... or is it that you have three weeks in which to give up...?
    In either case - good luck!!
    I wish I could get my head around this Self/No-self stuff....!
    ....Or have I just done that....??
  • BrigidBrigid Veteran
    edited January 2006
    Yup, that's me. I'm not cross eyed, though. The picture lost a little bit in translation.
    As for the smoking, it's a three week program until the last cigarette. Then I can really start to heal. ANOTHER process!!! UGH. This is the BIG one. I may have to stay away for a bit, depending on how bitchy I get.

    Granted! Wait, this is a hard one. O.K. This is pretty lame but you wouldn't have as much to look forward to. (?)

    I wish I could be more useful to others.
  • sharpiegirlsharpiegirl
    edited January 2006
    Great picture, Brigid! Granted. But people become so used to you being useful that they take you for granted and don't appreciate your loving-kindness...but to the point where they are mean1!

    I wish you didn't have to go and fight anyone, Bushi...
    I wish for you it never comes to that....

    THE IMPLIED WISH IS GRANTED! However, with no natural predator other than our own selves, the human species proceeds to get very fat, lazy, and unhealthy over the next fifty years, with the average lifespan dropping back down to 35, and the heart attack rate being at an all time high.

    I wish the President of Iran would just keep his damn mouth shut about Israel, so I don't have to worry about a war in Iran/Syria.

    Granted. But then you would constantly have people lined up at your door asking you questions never leaving alone!!

    I wish I didn't have so many wishes!

    Granted, really... there's a technique called lucid dreaming which allows you to control your dreams and end any you don't like, but then you know what's coming taking all the sponteneity and fun out of dreaming.

    i wish i could fly
  • BrigidBrigid Veteran
    edited January 2006
    twobitbib, I used to do lucid dreaming when I was younger. I got to meet The Rolling Stones!
    I could control everything just by visualizing. It took effort, and I knew I was dreaming but it was very cool. I could also force my eyes open when having a nightmare. Can't do it anymore.

    Granted! But you'd forget how to walk.
    I wish I had more experiential knowledge.

    We Bequeath Thee Thy Wish, but we wish we didn't have to (You're already too wise.).
    However, by getting this thy wish, you shall lose control of your ability to be satisfied and will never get enough experience, which will render you morbidly unhappy and a waster of money.

    I wish I were Jewish, because Jews have more fun.
    I wish I were Jewish
    Because Jews are SO Smart.

    Granted but as my old mother used to say - if they tasted nicer they wouldn't be doing you any good!

    GRANTED, but then you'd be the only person in the Post Office cleaning off the counter, and you'd feel very conspicuous.
    By the way, d'ya pronounce the "K" in Knitwitch, or leave it silent. (Honest Question, Dear!)

    I WISH I COULD TRUMP EVERY OTHER WISH WITH A BETTER WISH, SO THAT I'D BE THE BEST WISHER OF THEM ALL, AND NO ONE COULD TWIST MY WISHES FOR THE WORST.

    Yes, but now that you've granted his wish, it must mean that your wish-facility is more powerful than his, thereby rendering his wish-power redundant and thus immaterial....

    YOUR WISH IS GRANTED, MY EARLIER WISHES CANCELLED, but, on the other hand I'm still gonna try to be clever.

    I WISH THEY'D MAKE A RULE THAT WISHES FORMERLY EXPRESSED ON THIS PAGE CANNOT BE VOICED AGAIN, AND THAT THE WISHES CANNOT BE ABOUT WISHES.

    Sorry, federica, I'm jest tryin' to be clever. I'm really not trying to "stop this game and spoiling it for others," I'm just kinda bending the borders of the rules of this very fun page.
