If you could have anything you wanted - just for yourself - for Christmas, what would it be?

[Haole Girl]

Mine:

A Shiba Inu puppy



(yes, it's all that puppy cam's fault :-( )

[blueraven95]

1. a long trip to Europe

so I can see as many of the sights I can fit in.

[Haole Girl]

2. Sounds nice

Though, cold, this time of the year. I can't believe, with all the countries I've been to, I still have not seen Paris!

Hope you get to go there soon. :hi:

[DarkTirade]

3. A heart.

No, wait, a brain.

No, wait, courage!

:P

[Haole Girl]

4. Or maybe some of these?

:P

[DarkTirade]

5. Wouldn't match my outfit.

:P

[fizzgig]

7. i think you would look just darling

:P

[DarkTirade]

24. For me, the importance of shoes

is that they can get me from point A to point B. I don't need anything too flashy. :P

[Chan790]

6. 4000 S.F. penthouse condo in Manhattan.

2BR/1BA with cathedral ceilings, full dining room, full kitchen, a balcony, a fireplace and no property taxes.

[Haole Girl]

9. That sounds like a good wish!

:hi:

[TommyO]

32. You didn't ask for no condo fees

You're gonna pay through your nose for that!

[Chan790]

34. Arrggh! You're right.

Now I'm going to have to sublet my baby and live in a studio in the Bronx just to afford my condo fees.

[TommyO]

38. True, but the condo you wished for sounds very nice

If I were to live in NYC, it would be what I would want as well.

Come on, MegaMillions!

[Danger Mouse]

8. A million dollars, duh.

[Haole Girl]

10. That is about as realistic as me getting a puppy!

:rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. A new car or camera

A Honda FIT






Or a Nikon camera

[Haole Girl]

13. Cute little car... I haven't seen one of those

And, as you probably know, I'm all for new cameras! Hope you can get one or both of your wishes soon. :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

23. Am probably going to my credit union in Jan.

for a small loan for the car. Will get the 2008 model, sell my current vehicle, (already have a buyer), pay back a good chunk of the loan immediately, and then refi the amount left.

Now...fingers crossed for that camera to come my way! (dreaming....)

[BeachBaby]

12. Not so much a "what" as it is a "who"

and that's all I can say on a public board.

Meh.

Other than him, I would love to have a white Christmas - which seems to be happening everywhere but here. Oh, well. :)

[Haole Girl]

15. Aw..

:hug:

I know what you mean about the white Christmas, too. We'll get an arctic blast, by Monday, with temps dipping into the 20's.. but no snow for Christmas. (sigh)

[Bertha Venation]

14. Either an iPhone or a month in Hollywood Beach, FL

I guess I'd take Hollywood Beach.

[Haole Girl]

16. Oh, but iPhones are so fun...

on the other hand, so are vacations!! :hi:

[Bertha Venation]

19. we leave for Hollywood Beach four weeks from today

for a week. It's never long enough but I intend to enjoy each moment.

As for the iPhone, I might actually get one of those for my nephew for his 18th in February. He only needs an MP3 player, but I'm thinking, while I'm at it . . . He does a lot of texting and plays games on his phone. Maybe. What do you think?

[Haole Girl]

20. I'm love Apple products...

I'd definitely go for an iPhone. Just be sure he doesn't drop it in a bathtub full of water! lol

[Heidi]

17. I would like to have both a banjo and an antique phrenological head.

I don't play the banjo, but I do think they're cool. Same goes for the antique phrenological head.

[Haole Girl]

18. Are those heads very expensive?

Just curious.

:shrug:

[hobbit709]

21. A new body to replace the one that's falling apart.

[Haole Girl]

22. I hear that!

:hug:

[grannylib]

25. The winning lottery ticket for tonight. Hell, at this point, I'd be

delirious with about $5k...I could catch up on major stuff on which I'm really behind due to my hours/pay getting cut, and no hours at my second job for quite a while now...

[Haole Girl]

26. You deserve some good luck!

:hug:

[justabob]

27. a camera

a Canon digital slr.... I have a decent film camera, but I really need to go digital. I really really want one... (Santa, Are you listening?) :)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. me too! me too! Santa!! I want one too -- canon digital Please!!

[skygazer]

28. That is such a beautiful puppy

I have to say a horse though, and a lifetime supply of feed and veterinary care. I miss riding so much and I just can't afford it right now. :(

[Haole Girl]

56. If I was ultra-rich, and could swing it...

I'd buy you a horse and feed. I know how much you love horses. :hug:

[skygazer]

61. .....

:hug:

That right there is a wonderful gift. :hi:

[trof]

30. Some molars that you don't take out at night.

:-(

[Haole Girl]

57. Your post will remind me to take better care...

of my teeth... thank you. The dental hygienist swears she can tell when I don't use my Waterpik. :hug:

[trof]

90. Good. Please do.

Having to wear a partial denture is a real annoyance.

[MrScorpio]

31. A Mac Pro with a 30-Inch monitor

[TommyO]

33. A man with good taste, though go for two 30" monitors

[MrScorpio]

35. I did a fantasy configuration last night

Everything maxed out, plus an iMac and Laptop Pro with all the fixin's

The cost was almost $19,000



I need to hit the lotto

[TommyO]

40. If you get the memory elsewhere, you can save huge $$$$

Apple gouges you on memory.

A full 32Mb from MacSales (OtherWorldComputing): http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/64FB4MPK32GB/

That's $1249 compared to $9100 for the upgrade from 2Gb to 32Gb from Apple.

[Deja Q]

51. Do you know how much electricity that would use?

:wow:

[Haole Girl]

58. Hope you can ge your Mac, MrScorpio

:hi:

[datasuspect]

36. bullets

and cheap whiskey

[Haole Girl]

59. That sounds like a dangerous combo, there

:hi:

[redqueen]

37. An Xbox

:D

[Haole Girl]

60. I love Arctic Thunder...

yeah, I know it's one of the older games... but it is soooo fun! :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. the right to marry the person i love. nt

[quakerboy]

43. I hope you get that soon

I really do.

[Haole Girl]

62. Aw, lionesspriyanka

It's so sad, that in the year 2008, we have to have another civil rights movement...
all over again. (sigh) Don't people ever learn.

It's just stupid that you can't marry the one you love.

:hug:

[NewJeffCT]

84. It's a short trip to CT or Mass

but, I hope you can do it soon anywhere you want.

[Lucian]

41. Either an iPhone or a Blackberry Storm.

Also, I'd love a long (maybe permanent?) trip to Europe.

[Haole Girl]

63. I love my iPhone

Hope you get one.. and a trip to Europe, too. :hi:

[quakerboy]

42. Theres really nothing

I have everything I need and most of what I can imagine atop that. There are frivolities that I would enjoy, but theres nothing I actually want just for me. I want financial safety for my family, happiness for those I love, and a change in the world so that people can live their lives with as much or little dignity as they could want.

Check that.. I want a new world, where everything is better for everyone else and I can stop worrying about yall.

[Haole Girl]

64. You worry about us?

How sweet!

:loveya:

[NJmaverick]

44. Universal peace and justice

[Haole Girl]

65. If only...

:hi:

[Lyric]

45. A freezer full of enough food to last until January 3rd, and

a few more toys for OktoberKid, because he's been SO very good this year.

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

66. Aw

Where do you live again? PM me if you want. I know a little about places that might help you out... unless you haven't already checked into them (?). :hug:

p.s., I won't be around later tonight, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

[AlCzervik]

46. a way better stereo system for my car.

[Haole Girl]

67. THAT is a must, there...

gotta have good music for long drives! :hi:

[MilesColtrane]

47. Single Payer Universal Health Care for everyone in the United States

[Haole Girl]

68. That is certainly whaaay overdue

:hi:

[enigmatic]

48. Full, legal equal rights to live and marry for my LGBT brothers and sisters

That's all I want.

[Haole Girl]

69. Agreed!

:hi:

[redqueen]

49. Actually I take back my last answer.

I'd like an ex who isn't such a fucking PITA.

[Haole Girl]

70. ...

:hug:

[redqueen]

76. Aww.. thanks.

:)

It so sucks having a co-parent who does not enjoy being helpful... especially during holidays and birthdays.

[Generic Brad]

50. Job security

My wish list is suddenly and without advance warning back to basics.

[Haole Girl]

71. Seems like we are all just barely holding on, anymore

It's really sad. :-(

:hug:

[rcrush]

52. I want to win that trip to Amsterdam.

[Haole Girl]

72. Amersterdam is a fun place

Hope you win! :hi:

[Arugula Latte]

53. I think Steve Martin said it best:

"If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be that all the children to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace. If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.

You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe.

And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it. Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish, because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know? No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice.

But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth! So -- we reorganize!

Here we go.

First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids. Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace."

[Haole Girl]

73. Wow, that's great. Thanks for posting it!

:grouphug:

[krispos42]

54. Realistically, reasonably...

Shoot, this is unreasonably tough. I have low needs (probably the result of years of just scraping by) so what I have is "adequate".

I mean, there's a ton of stuff I'd be content to get... HDTV, for example, or a new flatscreen monitor (I'm using a 20" CRT that weighs over 40 lbs and was made in 1995) or a stereo amp or a printer or a PS3 or giftcard to Barnes & Nobles or a World War Two Garand rifle or camping gear (recreational, not hiking-into-the-wilderness kind) or artwork for my walls.

But none of this is a driving, burning need.


<sigh> I need someone special to do stuff with. Left by myself I'm entirely too content to work, eat, sleep, and hang out on DU.


So, I guess I would like someone to love under the Christmas tree this year.

[Haole Girl]

74. Awww...

You'll find the right person... when you least expect it! :hug:

[krispos42]

86. Thanks

I'm half the man I used to be...

:-)

[graywarrior]

55. Sex with Alan Rickman

[Haole Girl]

75. But, but...

I thought Bob Dylan was the one you loved? :hi:

[graywarrior]

78. I love Bob

I lust Alan

[Haole Girl]

79. lol!

:D

[MorningGlow]

77. A boob lift

:bounce: :bounce:

And a trip to the UK. I haven't been there in many years, and I've been missing it lately.

[Haole Girl]

80. I need one of those too...

not the trip to the U.K. :blush:

If you find a good doctor who would do one for, hmm..., let's say $500 please let me know! lol

:hi:

[MorningGlow]

81. $500 each or for the pair?

Maybe a two-for-one special...! :rofl:

[harmonicon]

82. barring what I really want....

which I will not get, I would like 6 months or a year away without losing my pay. To have an extended period of time somewhere like Prague where I wouldn't have to deal with all of the pain associated with the people I know back in the US and none of the drama I'm dealing with here. I think I'll go to Prague for a week next month, but that's not long enough.... I really need some fucking time to get my head straight without worrying about my personal relationships or my PhD.

[femmocrat]

83. A beach house in NC. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

85. World Peace, but I'd settle for

The entire Bush White House being sent to jail for the rest of their lives.

[applegrove]

87. Expensive silver jewelry.

[JimGinPA]

88. A Moog Synthesizer

B-)

[lizziegrace]

89. That Retro's mom's tumor is benign

and she'll be home and better by New Year's.

But if it had to be for me? A weekend with Hugh Laurie. God knows I need the laughs and I adore that man.
