I don't need money just your prayers. Prayers to help me keep my sanity and help me to finish grad school. I started a little over a year ago and I really don't have much longer to go. BUT.......being the stay at home mom of two young children does not always mean that I have 100% of my time to dedicate to my studies. I also work part-time waiting tables at night. So, my schedule is all sorts of crazy. And, oh, yeah...my husband. I see him on the weekends and throughout the week if I am lucky. Usually I am working or at school when he is at home with our kiddos.

So, yeah, graduate school...it isn't easy. It's not always fun. It will certainly be worth it in the end, but for now I'm just hoping, wishing and praying to make it through to the end. It is so easy to get discouraged and I don't want to do that...not when I am so close to graduation (May 2008).

Thanks!

As some know from my *nice* wish, we are really struggling at the moment with medical (which is ongoing) bills and the foreclosure on our home (Sales Date: May 2nd :( which we are literally *stockpiling* ANY monies toward saving it at the moment).........with that in mind, my husband has been working 65-75 hrs. a week and weekends, I'm doing whatever I can to help, either with my website or selling on eBay to put towards the house...... the kids (5 & 7 ~ Matt will be 8 on March 28th! Yay! Happy Birthday Matthew!) have managed to help keep themselves busy while we work hard keeping a roof over their heads. My wish this week, in my eyes, is somewhat naughty, yet nice as well. I want to be able to take my family out for a nice dinner andn movie, as soon as we pay the $6800 off to the house this month. It would be a celebration at keeping our home and a late birthday family night for my son.

Well, I suck at spelling and meanings of words. I thought I could educate myself with a dictionary. If I get a donated one it has to be current with all the new lingo so I know whats going on. Thank you for furthering my education.

I'm going to try for this wish once more since I still have time to get decent seats ~ I'm listing this under naughty, although I think it's really nice. It's a pretty simple wish, so not much to explain. My wife has really been wanting to see Wicked and it is coming to our town in May thru June [ link ]

I'm asking for this wish now (and the amount of $200) because I would like to reserve good seats for her & I, along with taking her out for a nice dinner beforehand (plus I will need to pay a sitter for the kids). Really no other reason than, she is deserving of this. She has stayed at home with our children for the last 8 years, been an excellent mother and caring wife. She never asks for anything, knowing that we live on one income and tight budget. She drives a beat up 1989 Mini Van, while all of her other lady friends show off their brand new vehicles, with DVD players in the back for their children. Yet, she still never complains. She never asks for anything. She continues to stay at home with the kids (we are a homeschooling family) and very seldom does she stop long enough to think of herself & her wants, even her needs sometimes get put aside.

She gets excited over being able to have 5 minutes to paint her toenails or when one of the kids give her a dandelion. She doesn't need roses, but boy does she deserve them!

Sorry for the corniness factor. I just want to give her something that she wants and deserves.
Thank you for your consideration and good luck to everyone else in this voting round.

3 ambulance pagers+2 fire pages+2 cell phones+a direct dial from 911 dispatch=no quiet nights with my husband **UPDATE**. (I am working on joining another department to allow myself to go on more med calls meaning there will be 3 fire pagers. This department averages 6 a day and will be building a new station within a year!) I am asking for enough to cover his wages for one night plus a pizza and blockbuster movie. This will let me turn off every pager and cell phone to have just one night with him. In the past week he has had off 36 hours and I have spent about 10 with him (half of that me cuddling with is back as he is dead asleep, the other half was spent in an ambulance.) The video is of a pager going off (Not ours!) but it lets you know what I get to wake up to in the middle of the night.

2nd try: I'm desperate. 1) Thank you to everybody who donated & voted last week. And especially your comments really brightened me up when I was in bad mental shape.

For more information, PLEASE visit my livejournal which documents what I have been going through for the past six years. [ link ]' target='_blank'>link ]

I'm a 22 y/o who has Evans Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Lupus. I am unable to work, and am trying to get on disability, but it's a long process. I've tried six times so far, and am going for a lawyer this time. I have been unable to work or support myself financially for a few years now. My wonderful boyfriend supports us, and we are in financial crisis. My horrible state provided insurance has been pulled out from under me during a time I need it the most. I'm going through withdrawals again next month for a drug called Prednisone, which is awful. Causes a lot of pain, no appetite and other side effects, in addition to already feeling terrible because of fibromyalgia+lupus combination. We are already broke, and now we have to try to pay for 5-10 prescriptions a month out of pocket, as well as visits to an expensive rheumatologist out of pocket. For links to articles about Prednisone, Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Evans, visit my blog please! [ link ]' target='_blank'>link ]

I also want you all to know that I will be paying this forward, once I get to a stable healthy point. I don't like to be desperate to the point where I'm begging for help, I'm usually the person trying to help others in every way possible. It's difficult to be so sick that people have to take care of you, and all you want to do is take care of them. Thank you again. Even if my wish isn't granted, I want to help people and animals when I'm better.

A Date! I need a date! And to prove something!

Here's the thing.

I'm re-submitting this wish because I want to prove a point. The first time I wished this, I was told I was a bad mom and a terrible person for wanting to find happiness. I think most of society disagrees with that outlook.

Also? Always a bridesmaid, never a bride! I've had the second place wish twice now!

I'm a single mom. I've been divorced since May of 2000. I have a full-time job working in an elementary school, and I raise a child with severe autism. He takes up a TON of my time and attention, so I have not really pursued dating at all. I have not had a date since my divorce, and I really would very much like to get out there and meet people!

I am not a club girl. I don't even know where the singles bars are, much less know anyone to hang out with. All my friends are married, and work is not a good place for me to meet single men.

I figure that leaves the internet. I've looked at free sites. Have you seen the personals on Craigslist? SCARY. I don't want random faceless hookups--I'm looking for someone with relationship potential.

I'm getting older. Well, I'm not old, by any means, but I'm not a young single anymore. I want to try something like match.com or eharmony.com. Match.com is $101 for a 6 month membership, with a "Make Love Happen Guarantee", whatever that means. I'd like to take the plunge, so to speak, and dive right into the online dating world. I don't need that extra stuff from Dr. Phil, just the basic membership would be fine!

I'm making some positive changes in my life lately. I'm eating better, I've joined a gym and am working on improving my fitness and losing weight, and I feel really good about my future. I think pursuing a dating relationship is the next logical step!

And since match.com is going to guarantee to make love happen, what have I got to lose? I promise I'll invite everyone who votes 5 stars to the wedding

money to purchase flowers for my son's speech therapist

money to purchase flowers for my son's speech therapist

My wish is for some money to purchase some nice flowers for my son's speech therapist. She has been an incredible teacher and very patient. She has been with us for 2 years now. Because of her help, my little guy is almost caught up to where a 4 year old should be in terms of speech and communications.

a presonus firepod (recording equipment)

we need $500 for a piece of high quality recording equipment so that we can record up to 8 instruments at once (2 instruments in stereo) for a total of 10 channels that all feed into one computer via a fire wire cable. We would not only be using this for our own band , but also aiding other bands so they don't have to shell out top dollar and drag all their equipment nearly an hour away to a recording studio when everything they have can easily be recorded on the spot in their own garage.

Just nothing...not worth getting my blood pressure up again...Oh God, Heaven forbid that happen, I might actually wish for a Blood pressure kit!!! Ohhhh how the tongues would wag then!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I guess yall all know that I am referring to the TROLLS around here. Although actually if I wasn't a Christian woman, I could certainly think of something better to call them....lol ****NO OFFENCE intended to Non-Christians...lol lol*****

Anyone who can't understand the need for a FENCE to keep a learning/speech disabled child in a yard whether you rent or not, obviously doesn't have a clue as to what is REALLY important in life.

All I can do is pray......and hope this wish gets fulfulled so that the TROLLS develop compassion and understanding with their new life!!!


And if I do win (which I am definitely not holding my breath on)....I would use the money to buy another lock for the door.....lol lol

This is a family traditional meal that left our family when my great grandfather died, in 1989.
I was 15 and I had tried to get the receipe from him, yet he wasn't about to give up the blackmailing tool.

My problem with getting this is that one specific village in the Phillipines makes this dish. My grandparents from the other side moved to Manila for 1 1/2 yrs and while there traveled immensely, but could never locate the village where anyone has heard of it, or the village my g.grandfather lived in. I do not know the name of this villiage...hence another problem...and I am told it is very remote. I am now 33 and am having a longing that hasn't left for years.

Anyone who has any knowledge is being called out to, and begged for information.

A guy at earthlink working in Manila actually knew what I was talking about and promised the receipe....It never came...6 months later I canceled the service, because I never received on a promise.

Now I am aching to blackmail ALL cousins and fix it again... Pretty please, help me out.

I placed an amount based on ingredient needs to be anticipated.


Thank you all here!!!

I have a real problem and I am so upset. I have been behind on my rent and finally got caught up. I thought. I was behind due to surgery and off work from anemia and other complications from this surgery. But I paid 629.00 to my landlord to catch up 1.5 months rent t and now due another which I was going to pay the end of this month. and still can pay it but cant catch this mess I have up. But a pay day advance company got me . I paid them off and they still took out of my account 612.36 without permission or notice. This payday thing was paid off. I called them today and they will not call me back So the attorney general has a complaint on his desk. But in the meantime I have my rent check to bounce and upset landlord who will not work with me. She is all business and no compassion. Has always been that way and I understand that but right now she is telling me she want this money and I dont even have any way to get the extra cash. No way I can maintain but I can not make this up and it will prob take me months to get my money back from the payday advance company they have since changed there name like three times. My fault, bad decision but when you are a single parent and you get sick you have no one to help so I turned to the advance company and again I did pay them . But now woah I just want to cry. I know this is something that was unavoidable what a lesson I learned. I wish for my rent money and I pray you will vote me thanks friends so much. I have no where no where else to turn. Thanks and God bless. I updated to 400.00 so someone else can get money if I win but right now scores are low. But anyway I feel better. The other money will come from somewhere I know somehow . I am praying.
