The Stones say 'you can't always get what you want'...what do you want that you haven't got?

The love of a good man, financial freedom and a big bowl of mashed potatoes.

Hmmm . . . I'm pretty content right now. I suppose a romantic entanglement with that attractive artist I've had my eye one would be nice.

Fortunately I've got everything I could ever want. (Thank you Lord.) But what about how the song ends? "Somehow you always get what you need." I didn't always think I got what I wanted years ago but now that I look back, I did, indeed, get what I needed and that's how the song ends.

More material possessions.

Yo, dawg, here is the straight dope...from the straight dope...the obvious answer to that question is a real job...I do not classify what I do as a real job...of course, as I tell one of you 2000 dazed people...one is judged by 2 things...what one does for a living...and how much money one makes...I lose out on both counts...of course, what I really want to do is to write for a living...of course, it is more important that I not file for a living...but I digress...whatever...that is whacked...gnarley

I don't know. I'm having a REALLY good morning. . .The Gershwins and Gene Kelly said "Who could ask for anything more?"

Great question Frodo. I had to think about this one because I'm really quite content. However, a car that is newer than the one I have would be nice...oh yes, and perhaps a risk-taking publisher. Mo' money would be pretty nice too while you're at it.

My love.

A Mercedes or a BMW sports coupe. A vacation house in the Caribbean. But it ain't gonna break my heart if it don't happen.

Janet, 45

Enough money to pay off all my bills

It's a toss up between a size 8 figure or spiritual maturity.

I want the time, the energy and the drive to be able to write books that sing - books that tell stories people want to read - books that become favorite companions and cherished reads.

"No time, no time, no time, no time I got, got, got, got no time" (Guess Who and me!)

Word up dawg here is the 411: In regarding to the old Stones song, you can't always get what you want...well, anybody who knows me, knows there is alot of things I want, but do not have...and that is the straight dope... of course, I want a job that is not brain dead workd...in which I can feel
my last brain cells dying a horrible death...I would like to never, ever hear clean, safe, and sane again....I would like to never, ever see purple on Friday again...I would like to be a published author...like the guy in Misery...btw, I chose the aforementioned title 7 for a reason...I would
like to never, ever, ever, ever have to file again...or at least not do it as my primary thing...I would like to once again meet up with the Legendary Big Guy Sarge...in that Great Kennel in the sky...
