<p>Tell me your three WISHES! -If you were offered 3 wishes what it would be? </p>

<p>Recently I saw again the episode of the Twilight zone: “The man in the bottle”</p>

<p>"A downtrodden pawnbroker and his wife are offered four wishes by a genie. Distrustful, they use their first wish to repair a broken glass cabinet to prove the genie’s power. They then wish for one million dollars, but after they give tens of thousands away to their friends, the tax man comes to claim the rest, leaving them with $5.</p>

<p>The genie warns them that every wish has consequences, and that they should consider carefully before making a wish. The husband makes his third wish, to be the leader of a modern, powerful country in which he cannot be “voted out of office” – and finds himself as Adolf Hitler in the last days of World War II, hiding in a Berlin bunker and contemplating suicide. He uses the fourth and final wish to wish that “none of this ever happened”, canceling the third wish and returning him safely home…discovering the wine bottle the genie emerged from has shattered to pieces. The couple ends up with nothing to show for the experience…" wiki</p>

<p>Here we go: If someone offer you three wishes what it would be?</p>

<p>-Conditions: Don’t ask for money!!</p>

<p>This is the easiest question to answer:</p>

<p>DD1 experiences a full life with joys and sorrows, successes and failures, and tries at every stage to give the best that she can.</p>

<p>DS experiences a full life with joys and sorrows, successes and failures, and tries at every stage to give the best that he can.</p>

<p>DD2 experiences a full life with joys and sorrows, successes and failures, and tries at every stage to give the best that she can.</p>

<p>Dad _ of _3…Interesting and brave perspective!</p>

<p>Is there time limit for using them? If not, I would just save them for later, maybe never use them at all. I think just knowing they were available would make life better. I could take more risks, for example, knowing that I could undo the damage if things went badly.</p>

5

<p>Good health, prosperity, and love for all my family.</p>

6

<p>So – If there are four people in your family, and you wish for good health for all of them, is that one wish or four??</p>

<p>I just want to understand the rules here. ;)</p>

7

<p>A long, healthy life for my son, filled with love, and happiness in whatever he chooses to do.</p>

<p>If I can count all of that as one wish, then my second would be good health for me, with all my medical issues magically vanishing.</p>

<p>And my third would be to find someone I could be happy with.</p>

8

<p>^^^Here, here. I hope those wishes all come true, Donna.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>That all of my children outlive me.</p></li>
<li><p>That my husband gets healthy so we can grow old together.</p></li>
<li><p>That my sister is able to make a life for herself without her husband.</p></li>
</ol>

10

<p>My first wish would be for a hundred more wishes.</p>

11

<p>My sister and I figured that one out when we were little. We thought we were oh so clever, and were just waiting for the chance to outwit a genie.</p>

12

<p>Remember the scene in the Disney movie where the Genie reads the fine print to Alladdin? “No wishing for more wishes” was one of the conditions :)</p>

13

<p>How about wishing for “Enough” for everyone?</p>

<p>Motivational Poem
May You Have
Poet Unknown
May you have… </p>

<p>Enough happiness
to keep you sweet, </p>

<p>Enough trials
to keep you strong,
Enough sorrow
to keep you human, </p>

<p>Enough hope
to keep you happy;
Enough failure
to keep you humble, </p>

<p>Enough success
to keep you eager,
Enough friends
to give you comfort, </p>

<p>Enough wealth
to meet your needs;
Enough enthusiasm
to look forward, </p>

<p>Enough faith
to banish depression,
Enough determination
to make each day better than yesterday.</p>

<li>Dirty</li>
<li>Sexy</li>
<li>Money</li>
</ol>

15

<p>peace among all people
tolerance for all people
and health, wealth and happiness for my family</p>

16

<p>VeryHappy: Yes, wishing health for many people counts as one wish…
Coureur: Nice try…You cannot use one wish to ask for multiples wishes…LOL
Mr. Propanda: Sorry, you cannot ask for money.</p>

</p>

<p>Be careful. What if the genie dies after your first wish?</p>

<p>Too afraid to make wishes… ever read "The Monkey’s Paw?</p>

<p>Oh, yes! What a wonderfully horrific and gut-wrenching story! (If you’re intrigued, don’t look up a summary. That will ruin it for you. It’s not that long. Just read it.)</p>

<p>Is this getting spooky?</p>
