Is there something you once REALLY WANTED, that doesn't excite you now?

[Redstone]

(I can't wait...this subject should get some damn funny replies.)

Mine: For years, I had delicious fantasies of owning an IBM Selectric typewriter.

I could afford one now, but the desire just isn't there anymore.

Redstone

[flvegan]

1. Samantha Fox.

I mean, yeah she's hot, but I'm past the "blond hair big tits" phase of my life.

Not that I'd kick her OUT of bed. Just sayin'.

[Redstone]

5. Not even for eating crackers?

Redstone

[flvegan]

7. No sir.

She could eat veal crackers in my bed, and I'd probably just let it go. I mean, she IS in my bed and all. She just doesn't "do it" for me like she used to.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Samantha Fox is all in my bed with crackers.

[flvegan]

12. Me and Samantha Fox would totally live up the "(ALL THREE)"

if you know what I mean.

[RetroLounge]

76. Depends if my dog's name is crackers...

Yes, bad, and sick joke. I know...

shame is moi.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Redstone!

Oh, God yes...

My nursing degree...glad that's over!

Same with working in a hospital...

(Not to disparage any nurses or other hosp. folk here...It's just not my thing any more...)

:P

[IzaSparrow]

42. at least you don't have to worry about getting a resistant strain of TB anymore

[In_The_Wind]

3. Yep, a date with a certain male DUer.

Nice to see ya, Redstone!

[Redstone]

23. Not me, I hope. I'd be crushed if you didn't care anymore. Hey, do you go out to your

garage now and again during the winter, just to look at your trike and sigh, waiting for warm weather?

I'm sure I would, if I had a trike or motorcycle. I'd hate it if I couldn't drive my convertible for five months.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

31. Nope. Not you.

:loveya:

My trike is spending this winter in Jupiter, Fl. I'll ride or trailer it back north when the weather warms up again.

2 years ago I would sit on it and enjoy a smoke from time to time as I would daydream about long rides in the sunlight.

[DarkTirade]

4. Well, there was a point in time where I contemplated taking over the world.

But then I realized it was kinda a useless piece of real estate, really. I mean, what the hell would one do with their life if they've already taken over the world? And the whole thing's kinda falling apart anyway, I mean talk about a fixer-upper...

[Redstone]

21. Good call. It would definitely be much more trouble than it's worth.

Redstone

[DarkTirade]

33. Yeah. I mean, the perks would be nice...

but it's just so much work.

[rug]

6. I wanted rubber testicles for my truck till they banned them.

Not that I was inordinately excited, mind you.

[madeline_con]

65. How did "they" ban truck balls? n/t

[lost-in-nj]

8. If I told you

it would get your thread locked!!!!!!


:hi:

although it excites me..... but I know its out of reach

LOL



lost

[Redstone]

28. I'm sure a lot of people have lockable replies to my question.

Redstone

[FloridaJudy]

9. A Pony

I live in dread, hoping that wish I made blowing out the candles on my seventh birthday never comes true.

[femmocrat]

47. LOL, same here!

We moved out to the country over 20 years ago, and I thought... I can finally get a horse. Never did though. Too much work.

[CreekDog]

11. Kristi McNicol

[unsavedtrash]

13. To answer the ultimate question- Can Superman really kick Batman's ass?

Also,

a Green Machine


and to have these guys as roommates

[DarkTirade]

35. Pffft.

Batman would totally kick his ass. He'd reach into his bat-utility belt, pull out a kryptonite studded set of brass knuckles and go to town.

[IzaSparrow]

44. I think

a green machine would still be totally kick ass :kick:

[LeftyMom]

14. This guy I went to high school with. Amazingly good looking, played guitar, nice voice.

I had the biggest, fattest, twitterpatedest crush in the history of high school crushes on him.

Until the day he wore his Promise Keepers shirt to school the monday after their big weekend rally.

Even when I was 15 and had no idea what the hell I wanted out of life, I knew playing second banana and baby dispenser to some jesusbot with control issues surely wasn't it.

[SallyMander]

16. ...

:yourock:


:loveya:

[LeftyMom]

25. .

:blush:

He was hot though. Stupid religion.

[SallyMander]

32. It's a damn shame when the hot ones are brainwashed!

What a waste of those good-looking genes...


:rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

64. Yeah, it happens a lot.

One of my old flames, future professor material, brilliant and nice and all that stuff. Had professors eating out of his hand.

Dumped me after he got his master's at a very very prestigious school (on full scholarship of course).

Few years ago, I googled him and found out he's a Jesus freak.

WHEW!!! :scared:

Thank you, To Whom It May Concern, for saving me from this guy!!!

:woohoo:

[flvegan]

17. Thank gawd you never looked in my closet.

*bullet dodged*

[LeftyMom]

22. Shut up asshole.

He'd have woke me up on Sunday morning to "go to church" and meant it. :scared:

[flvegan]

24. Yeah. At least when I say "go to church" I'm just referring to taking a kneeling postion.

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

27. I knew you didn't really mean church, they'd make you wear pants.

And we all know how much you hate pants.

[flvegan]

29. Which is odd

considering how much effort I put into getting into others' pants.

[Redstone]

20. "twitterpatedest?" I like that word. And hey, you were a smart kid at 15.

Not implying that you're not smart now, of course, but that was a helluva good decision you made.

Redstone

[LeftyMom]

30. Believe me- good decisions regarding the opposite sex weren't de rigeur back then.

Which is how I wound up married -to a guy who probably made the fundie look like a prince of a fellow, at that- at the ripe old age of 18.

[Skittles]

68. LOLOL

you are AWESOME LeftyMom! :thumbsup:

[SPKrazy]

15. Plenty of things

that would mean nothing to me now

[qnr]

18. To learn esperanto, and find others that did, to engage in conversations. n/t

[Pale Blue Dot]

19. Barbi Benton

[KG]

36. i think you did better.

[Pale Blue Dot]

38. Absolutely. nt

[Redstone]

45. Yeah, you can bet old Barbi's all wrinkled and horrid-looking now, with makeup

spackled on with a putty knife, trying to hide the obvious ravages of time, bitterly trying and failing to recover her former babeliciousness.

Unlike your wife, who is a peach. Yes, you've done well, and tell her hello for me, would you?

You guys gotta come down here to Old Saybrook next summer. I'd like to meet you.

Redstone

[SarahB]

63. Actually,

(and I have to remind my husband of this story) a nurse I work with ran into Barbi Benton on her honeymoon last June (in the Caribbean somewhere) and said she was a very pretty, nice middle-aged lady married for many years to the same guy. I'm still glad I'm Mrs. Finnfan though, but I still heard Barbie's a nice person. :)

[Skittles]

69. I saw a picture of Ms. Benton not long ago

she has aged well

26. I really wanted a Wii, but after playing with the wand for a while...

at least once a day, I kinda got bored with it. :P

[Cabcere]

81. Insert terribly inappropriate comment here

:P Sorry, sorry, I have the maturity of a twelve-year-old boy sometimes. :eyes:

[KG]

34. a teal green, t-top camero

kind like this:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. My old boyfriend.

I don't know what I could have been thinking...

[hippywife]

39. I found out a long time ago

that things just didn't do it for me. Wanted a great stereo system. Got it. Meh. Not any happier. That happened with alot of things I thought I wanted. So, the only logical response was to stop desiring things so much. Much happier now. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. An airplane and the skill to drive it

When I was a kid, there was no question that I'd be a pilot. When I was 8 or 9, a new bank opened downtown and had a drawing for a red and white Cessna 150. It was in the lobby, and I don't think I ever wanted anything as much in my life.

I read books about planes, watched "Sky King," "Ripcord" and "Twelve O'Clock High," drew planes and built them of scrap wood. One day, my mom was picking me up from school, which was directly beneath the airport approach. As I walked to the car, a Cessna 310 cruised overhead on final. Mom asked if I wanted to go get a hamburger and I said, "Can we go to the airport first?" I wanted to see that beautiful airplane taxi and park.

I later discovered a very great need to feel something solid between my feet and terra firma.

Still can't get enough of airplanes, though — as a spectator.

[Redstone]

46. The bank gave away an AIRPLANE?!! Dang.

Redstone

[Oeditpus Rex]

56. Looked very much like this one

I remember looking it up; they cost about $8,800 new in 1966. Last June, the owner of that one was asking $25,000 for it. :crazy:

I couldn't figure how they got it inside the bank until my dad told me they probably just took off the wing. :silly:

[DS1]

41. The Mac 2 or MacII

It had 16 million colors. I wanted it soo bad. Soo fucking bad. I lusted after that Mac.

I ended up with a Woz Edition Apple 2GS because my dad rocks. I heard him through the walls arguing with my mom about getting it for me. I got it, and spent so much time on it. And it was such a great computing experience I got into the biz.

Thanks, Dad! :loveya:

[Redstone]

49. Your Old Man chose well. That was probably a better thing for him to buy for you

than college tuition.

Redstone

[femmocrat]

43. Yes, many things.

Most of them are 4-legged ... just don't feel like taking care of that many animals anymore. Two are enough.

Also, Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. What a let-down.

[1gobluedem]

48. This

The 'Budding Beauty' vanity when I was five. I thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world; my mother thought it was cheap and tacky. She won.



I wanted plastic Corningware toy dishes too. I didn't get those either.

[zingaro]

50. If I said "my husband"

would that make me a horrible human being?

I sure hope not because that's the best and truest answer I have.

[SPKrazy]

51. nope

it wouldn't

and you aren't

:hug:

[zingaro]

71. You.

:hug:

How's it goin friend??

[SPKrazy]

73. meh

ups and downs

ups and downs

and then

ups and downs

:hug:

but mebbe better all in all, just struggling a bit with the who I am thing...

[zingaro]

78. Well then, for you

I wish for some downs and ups instead of ups and downs. :)

And that whole "who I am" question - yep, that's the one getting me, too.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

79. Thanks, downs and ups

:)

for both of us more something

:hug: :hug: :hug:

who I am, I don't know if I've ever known that really, but hey, maybe that's the purpose of life, discovering who we are, and when we finally do, we're done? I don't know if I think that way but hey, it's a thought.

:hi:

[BlueIris]

55. Does your husband post here? If so, maybe.

[zingaro]

72. Nope, he doesn't. I don't think he even knows it exists

past what I say about it.

:)

[Karenina]

52. FAME.

[skygazer]

53. I wanted to be a vet

All through school, that's what I wanted. And life got in the way and I didn't go to college but I still wished I had and that I could go back and do it.

And when I did finally go back, I discovered that I was more interested in other things. I still love animals and I've worked for vets which is fun but I have no desire to be one anymore.

[BlueIris]

54. I wanted to (smirk) be a (snicker) reporter at a large metro daily.

All the way into the late nineties. Until I...just couldn't deny where the mainstream media was going (read: propagandaville). And that I'm an artist, not a reporter.

[WinkyDink]

57. Virtually everything I once collected: Wedgwood; teal glass; comics; e.g.

Seashells will always own me, though!

[Generic Brad]

58. CB Radio

I no longer want one, good buddy.

[Evoman]

59. Oh man...all sorts of stuff.

Some of the worst (and most embarrasing).

1)Disney phone..you know those phones where the disney characters talked to you? When I was a little kid, I wanted one of those so bad because I actually thought you could talk to them. I don't think I realized until later that they just had pre-recorded shitty messages.

2)Turbo Grafix 16 (sp?).

3)Real Star Trek Communicator (I now HATE cellphones, which are the same thing, and have never bought one. I hate phones period).

4)19 CRT monitor. Almost bought one. Would have been a waste, because the next year, flat screens were cheap.

[emilyg]

60. Sex.

[BlueIris]

67. Yep.

[Writer]

61. Yes. Career-related. I wanted to become a network television programmer.

No longer.

[theredpen]

62. Herpes.

[goodgd_yall]

66. A hobby horse

[Jamastiene]

70. Not really. Everything I have ever REALLY WANTED

I still REALLY WANT. I just want it more now. I guess I'm just stubborn. :shrug:

[Akoto]

74. To fit in and fulfill expectations.

I became a much happier person once I accepted that who I was happy being was nobody's damn business. ;)

[SPKrazy]

75. Thought more about this Redstone...

at different ages, wanted different things

in my teens, a faster car, doesn't really excite me now

in my 20's I dreamed of lots of things I now know I will not have, so I guess I have put them elsewhere or something because they don't excite me (wealth, fame, etc.)

I'd be damned happy to be with someone that loved me, and cared about me, and showed it.

That and now my son's happiness is much more important than mine.

[RetroLounge]

77. Marriage, kids, house in 'burbs...

I'm over it.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

80. Nikon camera when I was shooting with Olympus

Now, that I have my Canon:

"What was I thinking?" :rofl:

:hide:

(If you're not into camera wars, you might not get the true signficance of me having to hide. :evilgrin: )

[redwitch]

82. go go boots.

I was in the fifth grade. :-)

[fortyfeetunder]

83. A luxury car

When I was a kid, I wanted either a BMW or Mercedes in 1984.

When that time came, I was no longer interested in that type of car.

Today I am happy with a car to load my hobby gear and get on the road. As long as I can play music in it, I am OK....

[Adsos Letter]

84. ...a long life... n/t

[ThoughtCriminal]

85. Bat Utility Belt

I mean, it had everything you needed when you needed it. "Giraff Repelent" - no problem.

I also wanted to be a brilliant and famous scientist, but later realized that the effort would cut into my TV time.

[Ikonoklast]

86. Inner peace.

But, after finally finding it I found that I miss the voices in my head.
