    As the topic states, what are your three wishes?

    Here are mine:

    1. Immortality

    2. Infinite wealth

    3. Mind control

    Hi. Welcome to the forum.

    From my brief membership here, I've seen there's a convention that a thread starter open by answering h/er own question. It helps with, among other things, getting to know each other.

    Here's mine ... I really would go for setting up processes rather than definting three things.

    1: Conjour me a genie who's got authority to grant infinite wishes.
    2: Full disclosure of fine-print and discussion on possible consequences before committing to a wish getting granted.
    3: Option to amicable termination of contract without need to return goods or abilities bestowed.

  3. Good health for me and my dogs
    A peacefull life, a modest existence
    To meet with again those I have lost and loved - my dad, Venerable Lucy, Mr Ben, Tobias Puddlewash, Tess - who raised my own pups like they were her own - my list is growing. Havent even got to Oscars lot - the felidaes. Quite happy for that to be after I kick the bucket, so I would ask to meet them at the rainbow bridge, then that place would be real wouldnt it. A place to be once again with those beings who loved you.
    (Would be my dads birthday this month)

    I see Mongolian philosophy is at odds with Buddhist philosophy.

    Let's see who gets our wishes first!

    1. Immunity from from petty annoyances.
    2. Unveiling our year of death- all struggles seem to arise from this uncertainty. We'd be much kinder, if we had a concrete number.
    3. Elimination of all suffering.

    Hmmm....most of my selfish wishes are things I can attain. And am working towards attaining. College degree, better job, better body. It would be nice to get those instantly, though :)

    More fantasy-type wishes would include the ability to play, and play well, any musical instrument I picked up. The instant knowledge of everything mechanical and electronic, so I can fix them myself; and the ability to understand every language, including what my dog's telling me when he barks.

    I suppose if I ACTUALLY got three wishes, I'd go for something generic and good for all-- world peace, harmonious human interaction, no one goes hungry. Something along those lines.

    I only need one. I'd wish to have an infinite number of wishes that would be granted me.

    "Genie grants you three wishes, what are they?"

    "More wishes"?

    Seriously? That's pretty seedy, isn't it? The kind genie grants you something so precious as wishes—and three of them—and you ask for more?

    I'm sure this genie would have rules against that. I'm sure he's an old hand at giving wishes and knows that asking for more would be a possibility.

    I don't blame you though. I mean, I too thought of the asking for more wishes, but I figured there would be a rule in place. He did grant only three wishes. What if he can only do three? These are wishes we're talking about here, not knock-knock jokes.

    If a beautiful woman said, "I will have sex with you three different ways, any way you want," I could imagine the answer:

    "Well, the first way would be infinitely...! LOL!"
