The Very Best... April 10, 2005 |
Untitled #5 December 25, 2005 |
Lost Fire Juggler October 25, 2006 |
We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I wish I could write the first message today...
smart, only granted three wishes, so why not combine Hilary and Ashley in a single one.
I'm counting four wishes, unless the meeting part is combined. Maybe Hillary Duff and Ashley Tisdale will be at the same ice cream party!
Also, now that I think about it, I wish to be able to use that law school education that got me job here at National Judicial Institute in the first place.
This is a smart wisher - getting alot of mileage out of those three. "I wish to have everything that I want"?
My 3:
I wish to feel well-rested every morning.
I wish I would never take anyone in my life (or anything) for granted.
I wish all bad drivers were forced to stick with a horse-n-buggy.
KC:I totally agree about the horse-n-buggy wish. LoL
My three wishes:
I wish all my school loans were paid off.
I wish I owned a house with a front porch.
I wish my husband and I could afford to go on a vacation to Rome.
Can you imagine the horseshit problem on the roads? And how few actual motorized vehicles there's BE? What a PITA.
if you were smart, you'd wish for more wishes first. although, i guess wish #2 covers that in a way.
if i were given 3 wishes, i'd tuck them away and probably never use them. why run the risk of messing everything up?
I wish I could stop being redundant. I wish I could stop repeatedly saying the same thing but in different words.
Be careful what you wish for.....
Flargy. You've got one more wish, Einstein.
Or, you could wish for something useful, like Amber's famous koolaid pie...
Judges Harper and McKinnon wished for the usual: peace, understanding, better pensions... Judge Kline, on the other hand, opted for honesty.
Judge Ito has gone Hollywood.
My three wishes.
I wish i could get off of this wall sometimes.
I wish people would stop staring at me.
I wish i had a new outfit.
Quit your yappin', woman. How do you think I feel? It's cold in here! People staring...let me borrow your shawl for a little while, why don'tcha?
When I wish to wish for fish,
I just wave my hand with a swish swish
and make a wish with my Ish Wish Dish!
Where the heck did a second grader get that memo pad, anyway?
oh.. my .. god I'm so dense. I never "got" the Vitruvian Man (in the next frame) name until JUST NOW. Durrrrrrrr
This is cute, in an odd sort of way!
Obviously a little girl/boy writing this note.
My 3 wishes:
1)I wish I was more motivated.
2)I wish I could be more organized.
3)I wish I could lose these last 20 lbs!
You really need to getta out more.
Notta you, Holly. The onea before.
I wish all these paintings would stop talking... Everyone thinks I'm schizo... Get out of my head... Out... my head... I'll burn you all, then you will go away...
It must be all the pills and Booze...
@ The Captain in Tenille:
Not on my show, baby.
Reminds me of an episode of the Office where the team is sitting in a leadership workshop, and Gareth is asked to participate in a quick trust exercise by revealing his ultimate fantasy.
Gareth: Two lesbians probably, sisters. I'm just watching.
Rowan: OK. Erm. Tim? Do you have one?
Tim: I'd never thought I'd say this, but can I hear more from Gareth please?
I imagine all the judges sitting around doing a "three wishes" version and one poor guy just being honest.
My three wishes, btw, are as follows:
1.) a sweater
2.) someone big and cuddly to hug me and keep me warm
3.) unlimited wishes with a built in safety. (I can't wish anyone dead, etc.)
God as my witness... I thought turkeys could fly.
God as my witness... I swear my supervisor is an insane, incompetant, idiot... Every time we have a sales meeting he just randomly brings up turkeys with absolutely no frame of reference... How did he get the job?
Mr. Carlson's mother owns the station. What did you think?
Can we get back to the Find now, people?
I wish I was rich too. I wish for great health for me and the people I love. I wish I was magic.
This was definately written by a dull kid. I mean seriously, at first they don't even say specically what they want and totally beat around the bush with generalities. Then the best they could come up with was wanting to meet hillary duff... Come on, seriously... If they wanted to meet them, would'nt that go in the wish 2 category anyway? The third wish is a total and complete waste of the graphite from the writing instrument and the moment of time i took to read it.
Alright, new theory... The kid does'nt in actuality want to meet hillary duff. The kid already has everything they wanted, but they now realize that without something intensely dull the fun of having their dreams come true just would'nt be as great. So to bring themselves down a notch they threw in a meeting with 2 people that would absolutely kill thier buzz.
I Warship Satin!
Ok back to the Find. 3 wishes? Well, you know 2 of my wishes are in Jennifer's sweater....
1. I wish that I had magic powers.
2. I wish that I had the perfect solution to every problem.
3. I wish that I was fluent in every language...ever.
1. I wish I still had my horses.
2. I wish I could eat all I want without gaining weight or feeling nasty.
3. I wish my dorm mattress was a real mattress and not a nasty plastic thing.
Winston - you made my day; I *do* own a bungalow with a big porch! However, if I can suggest an addendum to your wish, "Own a house with a front porch I don't mind using because my neighbors aren't drunken tools who want to babble on everytime I set foot out the front door."
Three wish that I wish:
I wish to hike the Appalachian Trail;
I wish my kids be forever happy;
I wish for time to read ALL the books.
Wow...I never thought to add that. But yeah, I could definitely agree and sympathize. When I was a little girl I used to live up the road from a couple who had some pretty wild drinking parties. They often had the police called on them because having loud parties past 11pm is against the law in VA. The rest of the neighborhood consisted of elderly diabetic retirees. I can picture them now, sitting in their robes by the phone eying the clock every 2 minutes or so, just itching to hit that speed dial for the police to come.
Also, I used to pass a bungalow with a huge porch on my way to visit the in-laws. It was sort of my dream-house. I say sort of because it if had been anywhere other than two miles down the road from my in-laws I would definitely own it. Sadly, it was probably way out of my price-range, and I've seen houses moved from their original location...quite an undertaking and very expensive.
You'd at least think this kid would wish for the cancer to go away.
I wish my job paid double what it does now.
I wish my mother in law lived down the street and provided 8-6 chidcare.
I wish to be able to grant wishes for other people.
Big Guy in His Office, don't feel bad I though unicorns were real.
I wish people would include me in their lives.
I wish I had free access to an English-language library.
I wish I could lose the weight.
I wish I could have those 18 years back.
Awww, I love the innocense of this.
I wish to be financially stable.
I wish health for all my family and friends.
I wish to find a career that makes me really happy.
I bet you guys think its really clever wishing for more wishes... Like I have'nt gotten that a million times... Sheesh. Ummm, and those of you wish to lose weight, come on now, even Registered Imposter genies have thier limits... I don't have that kind of ability. And neither does anyone else.
I wish he would ask me to marry him.
I wish no one would ever be homeless again.
I wish she would realize how NOT BAD her life is and get out of her depression.
I wish...
#1 to remain thin
#2 to lose 40 pounds... hmm... maybe this is out of order
#3 it was already 6 p.m. so I could go home
Hey-- I don't ask for much...
Ummmm, if you are already thin it would be really hard to lose 40 pounds... Might start with the brain, as apparently it is the easiest to get rid of (if you havent already).
Ok... I just realized how bad that last comment sounded... I apologize... I am tired of people associating happiness with wieght, and that smaller/thinner is always better. I know what I just said was rude, but I feel like people won't really get the point or take it seriously until they have been straight up hit with the point... I once had problems with anorexia and bulemia, and it was disgusting, I never really just stopped to consider that I was ok as it was, I didnt need to be sickly thin to be happy. And neither does anyone else.
1. I wish my husband would let me get the surgery I've been dying to get for the last 6 years...
2. I wish for my kids to have wonderful lives, but not eternally happy because you have to have something to compare the good things to or else they'll wind up just being ho-hum things.
3. I wish everyone had a warm cozy home and never had to go without true necessities.
1. I wish I had some curtains for my wardrobe.
2. I wish I was better at making friends.
3. I wish my ex was a pair of shoes or something. And that all these f*ing feelings for him would disappear.
@ rebel in a fishbowl. Last i heard, you do not need consent from your husband to get any kind of surgery. Get some backbone and get the freaking surgery that you want.. sheesh. I thought this was the 21st century.
Vitruvian man, sorry for my selfishness. here are my new wishes.
1. Get clothes for all my friends.
2. let me and vitruvian man off the wall so's we can get out on the town and do some damage.
3. ... i got nothin.
I wish people didn't have to go hungry.
I wish I could find the perfect Chicken Terryaki recipe (Like Formosa's..mmm.)
...
I'm glad I don't have other things to wish about.
Someone can have my last wish.
1. I wish I never had to feel tired again.
2. I wish money was no object.
3. I wish to be able to find the joy in whatever life brings.
@ Rebel - unless its a sex change you be wantin. Then he should have a say.
1. World Peace
2. For people to stop destroying the earth
3. Everyone to be healthy
those are my wishes.
It's interesting how so many people keep saying, 'to loose weight'. For the longest time I could not loose 30lbs and then I did by joining weight watchers this Jan. I thought it would make me a happier person, and yeah, it's cool to finally look decent swimming laps or to buy a size 8 jeans. But guess what, it really hasn't made me any happier. It has totally caught me off gaurd (the not being happier by losing weight)but I think the previous poster is right (Kira).
Mona, did I ever tell you that I love you?
Mona, she probably expects him to pay for it.
My first thought was that this kid needs some new role models. I'm guessing that if she were looking up to Mom or Dad or a great teacher, she wouldn't be asking to be rich and have everything she wants. But, who am I to judge.
My wishes:
1. To be happy in my marriage- for better or worse.
2. To be blessed with health for myself and future generations.
3. To be rich and get everything I want.
(My role model choices could use some work as well.)
1. I wish I could actualize my ideals
2. I wish I knew how to make it all better.
3. I wish I didn't need this stuff.
3 wishes and they end with Hilary Duff and Ashley Tisdale? What a waste!
They ought to be struck down for a) being greedy and b) being stupid.
@Elizabeth: I misread your second wish; I thought you had typed "for robots to stop destroying the earth"
I thought that only happened in Japan!
;)
Hopefully this kid got the lamp with the good genie in it, rather than the bottle with the evil jinn. Those evil jinns can be buggers, let me tell you.
1. I wish for a bag of jelly beans
2. I wish for a diet Dr. Pepper
3. I wish for the next find to be better.
Hey Lukas, wanna come over for dinner tonight?
Pensive - I find it very strange that my three wishes are exactly the same as yours
1) I wish I still had my horses
2) I wish I could eat whatever I wanted without gaining any weight.
3) I wish my college bed was comfortable and big, not some flimsy plastic and wire spring contraption.
Also (sorry for the double post), but Kira, some people don't want to lose weight because it will make them happier.
I will use myself as an example.
I am very happy with my weight. I'm a size 8, athletic...yeah, I have a chunky stomach, but nothing to complain about.
However, my mother is constantly nagging me, telling me how I have to lose weight... how I weigh too much for my height. How, if I were skinnier, I would look better in a bathingsuit and she wouldn't be embarrased to go to the beach with me.
Therefore, if I were to wish for a weight loss, it would be to get my god-damn mother to STFU.
Yeah, you guys with the dorm-room beds you should be thankful it has the plastic covering... Otherwise, you would never be able to get it clean enough to sleep on.
Ummm, then tell the bitch to STFU... Don't change yourself because anyone thinks you are imperfect, including your mother. She sounds shallow and cruel... My mother always said stuff like that to me and I am 5 pounds under the "healthy" weight for my height.
Wish number 4. that neither Hilary nor Ashely end up prego in the next year.
I wish that she could get better.
I wish that my mother would like her.
I wish I could be as wonderful as she thinks I am.
If they ended up pregnant, would it be yours or something? Is that why you are wishing against such an occurance?
I am in a commenting mood today and I just have to add:
Danielle and Kira, my mom would occasionally tell me crap like that but I learned to give it right back to her at an early age. If she told me that I needed to lose weight and that I was looking chunky, I'd tell her, "I guessed I filled out better as a woman than you". God, that'd piss her off and shut her up as well especially since my dad would add in that she was part of the I.B.T.C. (itty-bitty titty committee). I know that sounds mean but my mom got the hint and backed off.
As for losing weight as a wish I stopped wishing for that a long time ago and actually did something about it. I think there are healthy ways to go about losing weight and unhealthy ways. Also...it shouldn't be about the weight necessarily but the body fat. I see a dietician every four months to get measured. Its not something that consumes me either. I just realized that I eat too much and exercise too little so I changed my lifestyle habits. Its not simple but you feel better from it in the long run.
Wow...I really do have a lot to comment today.
I wish I could get pregnant
I wish to have the happy family life I've been dreaming of since I was a kid
I wish to have a comfortable lifestyle to help my family obtain whatever it is we/they need...
I just really want a baby :(
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I wish that my wishes would come true.
I'm using Crystal's last wish for Lukas.
The note writer is trying to disguise four wishes as three! Meeting Hilary Duff AND Ashley Tisdale is two wishes.
I call shenanigans!
And shenanigans on all of the unlimited wish wishes!
Danielle,
Ah, if only those 3 could be granted :-) If I had to pick one... I'd have to choose having horses again. They make life so much better.
it's sort of sad that a child wishes for money and to meet such "celebrities"...
aw this poor little girl (..or boy)
I wish that s/he had deeper wishes
I wish he wanted to have a baby with me.
I wish my family would live forever.
I wish the last three years never happened.
this is the most comments i've ever seen...
right now:
1. i wish i hadn't slept on the floor 2 weeks ago, my back will never be the same
2. i wish this idiot in my study group wrote the paper the right way (and well) so i wouldn't have to do it alllllll over again
3. i wish my inbox was loaded with messages from my dream employer...
Winston, you're in a commenting mood everyday. That's a good thing.
My wish came true and my son and daughter-in-law invited me over for dinner this weekend. So thanks for the invites and concern, but I was just feeling sorry for myself. I had no ideal it would worry yous guys.
i wish to be away
i wish to have this peace forever
i wish to meet jesus and stanley kowalski (not for the same reason)
three wish that i wish
Oh, to be satisfied by superficial wishes! Those were the days.
1. I wish I had the answers
2. I wish I knew how not to question how loved I am, and embrace it instead
3. I wish I knew how to give the RIGHT things, instead of the best things
Oh life, you're such a challenge!
@ Mona Lisa - No, it's definitely NOT a sex change! lol. I know Freud was pretty sure all women had "penis envy", but I'm not one of them! It IS a cosmetic surgery though, and since he looks at me a whole heck of a lot more often than I look at myself in the mirror, I want him to be in agreement!
@ Pepper - I didn't say "boyfriend", I said HUSBAND. Since the day we got married, our finances have been just that, OURS. We don't have "his" and "mine". We both work and contribute to the family funds. Large purchases are talked out and agreed upon or they simply do not happen. If I wasn't working and contributing to the bank, I wouldn't ask for something so selfish as cosmetic surgery.
1. I wish college was free.
2. I wish I could have a beautiful garden, and that no plant would ever die (unless I wanted it to).
3. I wish I could find a home for this stray cat.
I wish he loved me the way I love him.
I wish I had more self confidence.
I wish I hadn't left.
i wish that i wouldn't want any wishes
I wish I get the job.
I wish we get the apartment we looked at yesterday.
I wish to go back to Italy sometime soon (which is why I need the job).
rebel, do what makes you happy.
kira, i love you too, i dont knwo why but i do.
and i wish night were here.
[mmmmm]The bear opens one eye, looks around and yawns a great big fuzzy yawn, showing some big ursine teeth in the process.
"Hey, Mona's back. Hi, Mona. You missed an interesting and weird weekend here at FOUND. This bear ate some funny mushrooms and things turned all strange and freaky. It was fun. Check out:
www.foundmagazine.com/find/1468 and read the find and the comments to catch up. You won't regret it I think.
Oh,don't want to leave anyone out, so Kira, Winston, Sue bee and anyone else who missed all the weirdness this past weekend your invited to
step down the "rabbit hole", too.
:)
"I wish you all the joy you can wish." ~William Shakespeare
I wish I started studying last week
I wish you knew how into you I am
I wish I could get into kinesiology
I wish WKRP in Cincinnati was still on TV.
I wish someone else would clean my kitchen tonight.
I wish my best friend would come back.
Oh, what terrible media our youth are exposed to. Go away, Hollywood, go away.
I wish I could fly.
I wish i could adopt Melting's stray cat.
Or I wish a stray cat would adopt me again. I used to be a magnet for them, but it has been a very very long time since that happened. I think maybe Feline Leukemia Virus killed them all off.
I also wish to be fluent in every language (like Terrie).
I wish I could turn invisible at will.
I wish she hadn't died.
I wish I had unlimited vacation time and funds to travel the world.
I wish my family could be happier and healthier.
1 - I wish everyone could just slow down so I could catch up. Or better yet, everyone just slow down and relax so that nobody has to catch up and we could all have meaningful lives not directed by the greed of big business and quarterly quotas. After all, what's the world in such a hurry for, death?
2 - I wish I didn't love mocha frappuccino lights so much
3 - I wish nobody had to worry about weight or looks and that everyone could just accept and love people for who they are instead of what they looked like. That and for people to stop trying to change others to suite them (it's all part of the same wish really).
4 - Bonus wish in case the frappuccino doesn't wish doesn't work out - That we could all go back to the garden and stay away from that freakin' apple tree!
Mrs. In-A-Fish-Bowl,
This is totally not my business, but I wanted to tell you that it particularly touched me knowing that you wouldn't undergo cosmetic surgery without your husband's consent. It implies a strong sense of sharing and consideration (almost a team-work, but not quite) that I think is important in marriage.
Not knowing what kind of surgery it is, I can't say much more than that: I can only venture to say that he believes you are beautiful as you are. Which is also nice.
I weesha new beret not this silly too beeg-a floppy one.
I weesha get indoors before da thunderstorm come.
I weesha shaddap everybuddy if notheeng-a to say.
Dees-a three weesh dat I weesh.
I wish I had the wisdom to always make good decisions and the strength to follow through and make them.
I wish I could stay home with my babies instead of going to work.
I wish Mona had some cookies in the Louvre!
Awww, thank you, Miss Gredenko. That's so sweet of you. I put a glass of milk by my computer, but so far, no cookies. The girl down the wall from me has some GG cookies to sell. Do you think they'll do?
I recommend GG Lemonades. And Thin Mints, of course!
An I weesh I be in da Louvre weeth la bella Mona Lisa an da so handsome Signor di Vitruvio, not ere in da snowy cold-a London.
Dees ees where I am:

Grazie molto e buona notte a tutti.
We'll save a little wall space for ya, Sal, but I gotta be honest; the way you're lookin at me is creepin me out, so if ya don't mind, why don'tcha hang out on the other side of Mona Lisa? 'Preciate it, Bud.
Sometimes I don't know what you all are talking about.
i wish for limitless wishes...
i can boil it down to one, yeahhhhh.
@I'm sure: don't worry, sometimes none of ussens knows what we're talkin' about, either.
I wish I had taken writing classes when I had the chance.
I wish I felt better than I do.
I wish I could have one house in France and another in NZ and just fly from autumn to autumn and never see summer again.
"Autumn to autumn and never see summer again."
Beautiful -- perfect!
@ REBEL IN A FISHBOWL- I simply adore your #3) WISH...Hubby and I have that, up North in our cottage on Star Lake.
Holly's Bonus Wish, (In case one of the 3 doesn't work!!)
4) I wish close to perfect HEALTH for me, hubby, our son, and ALL of our relatives and Friends!
I wish I had money to help my parents.
