What's your holiday wish? - DPChallenge Forums

11/28/2006 03:43:54 PM · #177

I have actually thought of a couple of holiday wishes:

To have a place to live by Christmas. I'm a little weary of living in limbo and I miss my stuff. (It would mean no internet access over the holidays, though, since I hear it takes a while to get that service up and running here. Would beat living in the hotel, though.)

To learn how to do funky letters/characters on my keyboard, so I can type

GuGi's name, or put the umlat over whichever letter it goes over.

Does it have to be location specific? Because you're welcome to come live with Giovanni and Rosalia in my guestroom. :)

You can have my summer home. I don't get there much and the electric bills are killing me anyway.

You guys are too cool! I appreciate both offers and shall take them under consideration.

And mk, anyone who knows what a "fat quarter" is is aces in my book. There are some fat quarters in my stuff I'm waiting to get at, though I really have no idea what I'm going to do with them. I just thought they were purty and I had to have them.

I want to kiss a cat.:) please, I don't need anything else. I've been living with a cat all my life and now she is gone and I just don't know what to do. that's why I mostly add cat photos to my favourites :)) hehe. I adore cats.

Is there an animal shelter near you where you could volunteer? I'm sure they'd let you kiss a cat or two. :)

Edit to add: For those who live in the U.S. and want to give the gift of love there are many hospitals with "Cuddler Programs" for infants that need someone to hold them. Here is an article that explains one of these. Or maybe you know someone (a lonely elderly person, for example) who needs to get out and has the time to volunteer--giving goes both ways.

I totally understand.

Aww, I would definitely fulfill this wish if I could. Can you adopt another one? People are always trying to give me kitties but I already have three and am under strict orders not to get more. I had to resort to doing the next best thing...giving kitties to my mom. Hers are too cute for words.

Do people actually sleep in the guest room? I'd be afraid of the eyes always watching me. All three of them.

Right now my wish list has two items:
1.) My mother-in-law was recovering better from hip replacement yesterday.
2.) I were home.

My wish is to reach my goal of $1000.00 for the AHA Heart Run and Walk event on March 3, 2007 (I currently have 375.00)

Team Rebecca prides itself on being a large fundraiser based on $1.00 requests....

to donate please visit this donation link

Please visit this link and read about my sister REBECCA. She was the 2003 Inspirational Honoree for the AHA. My sister's heart had to wait 20 yrs for technology to catch up to her. Our goal is to make sure someone else doesn't have to wait!

Please donate....every cent counts!!

Can I amend my list to include a truck full of the white "mystery flavor" airheads? I know what the mystery flavor is...CRACK! I must have more!

Yup. I've got a longterm guest in there now (don't worry Melethia, there's two beds!) They aren't my favorite either but people seem to adjust to them more easily than they do to Frank. :)
