All I Want for Christmas is...
 

This is where you write up your wish list, folks. What do you hope to get? What do you know you're going to get already? What have you already gotten and decided to call it Christmas because it was so damn extravagant?

None of the above applies to me this year. I've got more than I need already. So...what do I want?

1) A fresh, personal naughty picture from Labrat, and plans for a weekend in Iowa.
2) A recording of LJ playing "Ring of Fire", with video.
3) A calendar featuring photos of all the Cellarites, dressed or undressed.

That's all.

wicked distortion, and death metal style lyrics ok?

Required, actually.

Heelies and a Djembe.

oh, and world peace and all that shit.

I've never really wanted anythig before, and these are both really out of the the question for various reasons, but it's fun to dream :D

Nintendo DS Lite.
Set of interchangeable knitting needles.

Cowboys vs Colts Superbowl


Jeep Wrangler


A Blowgie?

I'd like:
- to lose another 70lbs
- a more positive outlook
- a lover

I believe I will get them between now and next Christmas.

For yourself?

Yes.

Options or Harmony?

If you can come up with airfare, I can guarantee you #3, which might well result in #2. :D

Excellent! :devil: Also try our wide range of deliciously satanic Norwegian Black Metal...or any black metal for that matter.

Harmony :) They are definitely living up to their reputation.

Here's mine:

• A non-surgical cure for Cerebral Palsy.
• The passing of H.R. 676.
• My metabolism back

hmm...things I want

- a tripod for my camera
- a better job
- an idea of what I want to study to go back to college
- another visit from my boyfriend (he's trying for march)

What? it is a WISHlist after all...

My non-selfish answer is for my family and friends to be happy and safe.

My selfish answer is just a little breathing room a la money. Oh, and a camera. And a DVD-rom. And cable. And home internet. A new car. Some clothes. A trip to a cabin with a sweet, funny, caring man. To feel better. Etc and so on...

;)

Li'l Johnny had been good this year, and his parents asked him what he wanted for Christmas.
He said "I wanna watch".
So they let him.



When I'm in hell, please send me cookies, won't you?

I'll prolly have a room nearby, Zen. I'm gonna be Satan's girlfriend, so you can come over and watch cable and eat ice cubes sometime if you want.

I'll be sure to pop over and say "Hell-o" then.
And when we eat the ice cubes I'll be sure to say "Hades are pretty good."

Do you have a master plan to pry him away from Saddam?

I want a healthy father and mother.
A reduction in stress.
A chance to meet up with old friends.

sick:biggrin:

Ok, lemme to a little bragging here:

• My PCs disC drive is a combo DVD-ROM and CD-RW, and my DVD player plays audio CDs, MP3s, CD-ROMs, CD-RWs, and has a built-in VCR.
• If your wishing for better TV, why not just got all the way. I got DirecTV - 434 channels including the regular cable stuff + 28 premium channels + BBC America + my area broadcast networks + 5 cable news channels, and there are a few DirecTV exclusive channel, my fav. of which is the 101.
• As for my current connection to the 'net: I got 1.5Mbps (max.) DSL.

Noble.

I'd like my entire family to have good health.

That ok, I don't need one. To busy with the revenge, and all. :devil:

for it to stop raining

Well goody goody for you! :mad2:

;)

Arsenal Champions League 3rd Jersey. Do you know how freaking hard to find this is? they are even completely out of stock at the Arsenal club store.

Uggggg.... never. I wish.

Explain.

and we care about this why??

Did I say you had to?

whew no thank goodness you didn't

Cum to think of it, why should you care about anything I post. :rolleyes:

actually you're right I don't

Well, yes. My Mom and Papa are just the unhealthiest of the lot, at the moment. Papa has incurable cancer, and Mom has a whole host of ailments.

But sure, if we're venturing into the realm of the absurd, I'd like us all to be healthy. :lol:

This is total bull shite and this is what the proponents are trying to sell to the public:



Check out some of the tremendous benefits that NHI will bring and see what you think:






Every citizen of the US will be covered from birth to death.
No more pre-existing conditions to be excluded from coverage.
No more expensive deductibles or co-pays.
All prescription medications will be covered.
All dental and eye care will be included.

Mental health and substance abuse care will be fully covered.
Long term and nursing home services will be included.
You will always choose your own doctors and hospitals.
Costs of coverage will be assessed on a sliding scale basis.
Tremendously simplified system of medical administration
Total portability – your coverage not tied to any job or location.
Existing Medicare benefits for those over 65 will remain the same or be vastly improved in many cases.


Total crap... They are trying to sell you the world. It will never happen. Be careful what you wish for.

I know what the bill says, ok. I read it. Quoting it was no necessary.

It might never become law, but what's the harm in voting for it.

Besides, seem to be in the majority on this.

http://www.michaelmoore.com/sicko/wh...1&qnum=pnum649

why do you feel we have a "right" to "free" healthcare?

[quote=Drax;412872]It might never become law, but what's the harm in voting for it.

www.michaelmoore.com/sicko[quote]

Is it even remotely freakin feasible and, if so, at what cost?

Oh and Michael Moore is another reason NOT to vote for it.

[quote=classicman;412939][quote=Drax;412872]It might never become law, but what's the harm in voting for it.

www.michaelmoore.com/sickoAs to feasibility, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan, and quite a bit of Europe have public health that covers everyone. It isn't "free" of course, but it is workable.

EDIT. Sorry all, this is the wrong thread for this post. So for Christmas, I want some common sense and self-restraint relating to my posting urges!

Free Healthcare = The end of progressive medicine!

I do wish for ALF to make a return to TV, but with the original cast just new, modern storylines.

Good Health
 

I just want good health and healty heart.

Why would you put a price on your health???

:thankyou:

Besides, the bill never said it'd be free.

Free Healthcare might not be realistic, but it's certainly idealistic.

because everything has a price. nothing is free.

i put a price on my health. it is the dollar amount that i pay to an insurance company every month. i receive no subsidies and no corporate breaks. the insurance company quotes what my family will cost to insure and i write the check. the money i use for that purpose would be more fun to spend elsewhere, but i decided the coverage was a top priority.

what you want is to be able to put a dollar value on your health and have someone else write the check to pay for it.

no thanks mister. there is a safety net of minimal health coverage for extreme cases. it's a pretty crappy system, but it isn't meant to be attractive. the gap between that and "good" healthcare is up to you to provide for you and yours. not my responsibility.

Ok, but what if your insurance company decides not to pay for a life-saving procedure you or your family might need done?

I retract my H.R. 676 wish just cuz it's causin' so much shit around here.

And voting to make an ideal law is a good idea?

In an ideal world, we wouldn't need police, armed forces, money..... shall we vote to outlaw these so we'll be closer to ideal?

BTW, yes Britain has National Insurance. It doesn't give all the things promised in the bill that Merc quoted (thanks Merc, I hadn't read it). In fact it had to stop providing a lot of those in order to survive. And you have never been able to choose your providers to any realiatic degree. It just wouldn't work if you could. That list of pie in the sky is what gives the movement a bad name. You need legislation to deal with the "how" not the "what".

Voting for unrealistic ideals is stupid and asking for trouble.

oh dear, did I rant? That's my mean atheist way of spoiling everyone's Christmas :lol:

Would you believe I'm actually in favour of National insurance? :D

Explain.

if it was not a service covered by my insurance then i have to either accept that i am going to die sooner, rather than later - or i need to find a way to pay for it if i don't want to die.

if it IS a service covered by my ins. company and they are being stupid i will visit an attorney.

?

This shit is fuckin' up my perfectly good thread. Politics thread is here.

Does anyone have any experience with 529 educational savings funds? I'm thinking of setting up one for my sisters-in-law's sproggins. (There's precisely one as of Nov. 29th, but I'm sure there will be more.)
Since we're not procreating, I figure I'll chip in for their eddumication, hey?

My bad. If I'd just left it off my list, Merc wouldn't've started this shit.

I don't know 'bout the other, but I 's done. Lez back to topic, people.

Nevermind. I don't wanna piss off Els any further.

I would like simply to spend time with those I love without all the drama and stress that's normally associated with holiday get-togethers. I don't have a lot of materialistic possessions, nor do I need any more. Some peace, serenity and relaxation would be just plenty. Oh, and a hug from each of my kids. That will make my year.

i have all the experience you could possible ask for in this area. if you have specific questions just PM me.
