slow down!
LOL
Sorry, but both my brother and dad have those, and they've gotten more tickets than ever since having them. Watch out for that false sense of security.

Alib - I think it's great! Sounds like you're now able to choose your own destiny, and that's worth a fortune. The best of luck to you!

Dearest Santa,

I’m hoping you are willing to take a seat, relax, and read my Christmas wish list. It’s quite long Santa. I’m going to ask for a lot this year. A heck of a lot, Santa. If you consider me selfish, I will accept that from you.

I’d like for those who work with their hands and back to get something that is comforting and feels good to their body. These people use their bodies to give something for us all. I want their bodies to get something nice.

I’d like for those who work with their minds to get something that is stimulating and enjoyable to their brain. These people use their minds to give something for us all. I want their mind to get something nice.

I’d like for those who are creative and give us new things and experiences to get something they feel is beautiful. These people use their talent to entertain us and to make us think and feel. I want them to experience something creative that makes them feel good.

Santa, there are a lot of parents out there, especially single parents, who are trying really hard to do the best they can for their kids—yet it’s killing them. Would you please do something to help them out? A job that has better health benefits, or one with a more flexible approach to time off to deal with their kids? Maybe for a few, a job that is better money so that the parents who are trying hard can make ends meet? Could you give them all enough resources so that they can all take a couple days to enjoy their kids—to spend a bit of good quality time and just breath easy?

I’d like to ask that all people who have done a horrible act to some living things be given the feelings that allow them to know for the rest of their lives what it felt like. Please also take away their ability out put it out of their mind.

I’d like for people who are without someone to not have the feeling of loneliness so bad that they are willing to become attached to anyone just so they don’t feel that way anymore. Can you leave them with the feeling of being alone, but not be lonely? So many people take advantage of lonely people.

I wish that all teachers have at least one student who becomes some who makes a big difference in the world in a positive way—and publicly says the teacher made a difference in their life.

I would like to have all kids in the world get a hot breakfast and lunch at least. How can one learn when all you are worried about is if you will get any food to eat.

Santa, I’m not a religious person at all, however I try to do right with people and the world. In every major world religion, there is an equivalent to “the golden rule”. It seems so many people have forgotten this simple idea, or have decided not to go by it. Would you be willing to instill it in the hearts of all?? Strongly enough so that they don’t just think it—they live it??

Would you give those that feel they must hit their spouses and/or kids the knowledge that things can work well without resorting to such tactics?? Can you give them the knowledge that love, respect and trust do a wonderful job of helping to build getting nice things to happen??

Santa, I’d like to you to give everyone the knowledge that everyone is equal, without regard to race, color, gender, and other differences so many seem to find so important.

Santa, while you are making your trip around the world giving out presents, would you please sprinkle humor dust all over the world?

Santa, there are so many older folks who have no family, or family that doesn’t show them any love. Would you please give them a hug a day for the rest of their lives so that they can remember what that love feels like??

Santa, there are a number of people here at TVCH that are having problems with illnesses and conditions—some affect their lives in a huge way. They seem to be really great people Santa—could you find it in your heart to give them the gift of good health??

Santa, please remember what Max is asking for about the food. Isn’t it great when we think of helping others—of giving something we have or something of ourselves. There are guys who like a woman who is intelligent, assertive, caring, productive, competitive, self-assured. Please give Max a chance encounter with one of those guys. While you are at it, there are quite a few women looking for the same thing, and many are on this board. Please give all of them that chance encounter with such a man. Santa, please remember what Moon asked for—can she please have that house?

While you are at it, I’d like to say that I hope you give the other folks what they have asked for. Ax a new computer—one of everything would fit in the space he has. Spy a date, although I hope it doesn’t take away her giggle. If the date is good enough, she may not need the home theatre system. Family safety is a good one too. Oregonfire is looking for something reasonable too—and she lives in Corvallis, Oregon. Most everyone there needs help. Angelnikki doesn’t ask for much; what’s a real dining room table? I hope she gets one. Notice she didn’t write her entire list because she was afraid of using up the thread. She is certainly more considerate than me—I am using it up. Sunshinemiss asks for something everyone should get to have—a home so her son can be safe. I realize that affordable in California part could be tough. And her wanting a recovery for her father—that would be great if you could help with that Santa. Can you please grant what Twiggy wants as well. It would be great if Honwy could spend Christmas day with her grandkids—any chance you can help with that one. Santa, please watch our for Schoolmarm. I wonder if she and Spy shouldn’t go out on a double date. If you give her Prince-Not-So-Charming, can you at least make him a decent guy? Please don’t put Grooch working at McDonalds when you give her a new job. Can you give Alib that job she interviewed for on 10/14?

Santa, for the people around the world who are having a tough time getting back to their lives after the terrorist attacks, could you give them something that they can relate to concerning moving on, still remembering, and not feeling guilty??

Santa, when I get even a little bothered that my food isn’t right at a restaurant, or that the line is too long at the store, or something is a little too expensive compared to what it should be, would you please reach around the world and slap me upside the head?? How dare I be bothered at such things when there are people who would live for a week on what I have had out to eat. Or they can’t find a place to buy food, or they can’t even afford the very basic of needed items. How dare I not remember that things could be so much worse. I usually do remember Santa, however I have moments of forgetting just how good my life is in those respects. For others that forget, please slap the shit out of them too.


Santa, do you have any respect water??? I look at kids these days—adults too. It seems there has been a drastic loss of respect for other human, other life, and other’s possessions. I hope your elves haven’t been stricken by it yet. I’m not sure what has caused it Santa. Not enough good attention, or not enough discipline, or not enough family values, or who the heck knows. Could you splash some of that respect water around the world. I hope it contains what all is missing to have caused this to happen.

Santa, please ask every one in the world this question: Quantus Pueris Moriendum erat…Priusquam Discimus

Santa, history has been tracked in some form or another since humans have had ways to communicate. Yet throughout history, humanity have made the same mistakes over and over. You know Santa, one would hope that people would learn from their mistakes. Yet, we have shown not to be able to. Do you have anything that can help with this?? Anything at all Santa?

Santa, I realize I’m asking for a lot. I also realize that any individual can choose to do any of these things a little better, as well as spread the word to others about some of these issues. I’d like to think I will do my part in both areas. I didn’t want you to think I am counting only on you.

For me—I do have one Christmas present I’d like for myself. You know, for close to two years I haven’t slept well. And for most of that time have had horrible nightmares. I’ve been giving some thought a to what it’s all about, and have an idea. It feels like my mind is on all of these things most all the time. I seem to think in terms of us as a race, and most frequently our shortcomings. (can you tell by my list?) Don’t get my requests wrong—I know there are plenty of decent people too. Yet there are way too many who are causing all these other issues to still be part of our world. Every so often (I won’t say how often) I get these tears of frustration, anger, bewilderment, and of basically not having a clue why it’s all happening. I am at a total loss for the understanding of it all. Sure, I know things like greed or arrogance or hatred affect these. But these things seem to be symptoms. I am looking for the deeper understanding of how these flourish so strongly, and contribute to us tearing ourselves up all of the time. Santa, my wish is for you to give me the wisdom of the universe, so that I may replace some tears of frustration and anger, and bewilderment with some tears of knowing and understanding. I’m pretty confident I’m not going to feel any better that we do so many negative things to ourselves and each other, although I hoping being that aware of it all will allow me to form some sort of a method to help resolve some of it. I will take care of things like the mind set to lose weight, and the approach of looking at helping folks. I just don’t have the tools or ability to quickly gain this level of wisdom all on my own—I need help. I know I’m asking for a lot Santa. Do what you feel is appropriate, and I will be grateful no matter how much or how little. Thank you so much for giving your time and listening Santa.

<Choking back tears> I stand with spygirl as speechless....and those who know me, know that THAT rarely happens. Neither do the tears.

Quite touching, Lance.

May you have peace of mind and joy for Christmas, my friend.
