To take our family to eat at the new Golden Corral
Once the bills are paid and everyone gets what they need there is never enough money left over to take our family out to eat. Since my husband and I got married last November we have not been able to afford to take the kids out to eat at our newest Golden Corral location. A friend took me once and it's amazing compared to the old one... tons of new food and desserts. |

Money to go thrift store shopping for church clothes
My boys and husband have started to wear suits and ties to church and they each only have one suit each which also came from the thrift store. My daughter and I could also use a few items for church. This is a greedy wish but as a mom I love for my family to be dressed nice. Since the boys started wearing suits it has inspired many of the men of the church to wear suits and ties also even the youth director. I promise to post pics if I win. Plus, it would make my kids really happy. I have a 10% discount card at the Goodwill so that's where I would shop. |
|
Money for Diabetic Blood Sugar testing strips
It's about time to get my monthly supply of diabetic test strips and right now we are on a tight budget so getting a break for a month for my much needed testing supplies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and consideration. |
|
Medical Co-pays for doc visits and medications
I have an affordable state run insurance for those that make too much for medicaid but can't afford health insurance that costs me around $40 per month for the insurance premium. My doc copays are $3 and with the health problems I've been having it looks like lots of doc visits ahead and very probable surgery. Also, my insurance only covers 6 prescriptions per month and with my regular meds for bipolar, diabetes and asthma I take 11 meds. I use my insurance for the most expensive ones and the rest I try to get prescribed things on the Walmart $4 list and some I do end up having to pay for that aren't on the cheap list. With my extra problems right now I'm getting even more scripts than the usual 11. The $50 probably will not cover all the extra expenses on docs and meds for the next month or so but it would certainly help greatly. |

Cosmo magazine while I'm recovering WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED!!
2nd Edit to wish: Thanks to a wonderful unnamed donor my wish has been granted. Thank you so much as I really needed this to keep me occupied while I'm recouping from surgery :) |

Doggie Treats for our 4 year old Boxer Chaos
When I married Jason I also inherited his 4 year old Boxer, Chaos... best dog I've ever known and he's a big guy as he weighs 110 pounds. Lately, with getting bills caught up from Jason being without a job for a couple of weeks we just haven't had the extra cash to spend on doggie treats which Chaos LOVES!! He has a Kong that we put them into so he can play and eat. He's really a special furbaby as he is great with all kids and would protect us with his life if need be. He also turned into my lil' buddy when the kids were in school and his daddy was at work. |
|
Fishing Licenses for Jason and myself
Jason and I would love to get our fishing licenses. He has all the equipment that we need we just don't have our licenses and they are $25 each. Jason is wanting to teach the kids how to fish (he is an awesome step dad) and it would also give us some quality family time together. The kids' dad has always promised them that he'd take them fishing but he never follows through with any promises. Jason, however, always keeps his word to the kids and I adore him for that and so do the kids. Please help us out with your votes so that we can take the kids fishing as I know our family would have so much fun doing this. |
|
Father's Day Massage for a wonderful step dad
I put this wish under needy because with Jason's new job he comes home in lots of pain in his back from doing heavy lifting all day. This is his first Father's Day as he never had kids of his own and so he inherited mine. He works hard, pays the bills, loves me and the kids with all his heart, would do anything in the world for us and he's an awesome step dad... in fact the kids have now begun to call him dad and that was their own doings... but goes to show you just how wonderful he is to them. |
|
Family Photos with my dad (he's turning 79)
My dad is turning 79 in August. He always says that he's 9 days older than dirt, lol. I put this wish under naughty as it's not a life or death need but it is something dear to my family that we want and to me need is need and want is want. Anyways, my mom really wants us to get family photos made while we still have my dad around. He's had two heart bypass surgeries and just survived Prostate Cancer. My mom found a photographer that will do the session, print some photos and give us a CD to print whatever else we may want. |
|
$10 to help buy my monthly medications
Schnarfle $10 wish entry... |
|
I wish for a mani/pedi
One thing that I know would make me feel better recovering from surgery is a manicure and a pedicure at the spa. The pedicure is most important as I am diabetic and the doctors have all told me to not cut my own toe nails so I don't cut myself. Jason usually cuts my nails for me but that is it. I would love to go and sit in the massage chair while getting a pedicure and also get a manicure of my nails. I'm sure it would make me feel even better. |
|
Laundry and Storage Baskets with lids and Hangers
We only have two laundry baskets with 5 people in the house so we really need to stock up on some so that everyone has their own. I would get all the same kind the ones with the lids and use some of them to store family photos and precious items that are boxes that are getting worn after all the moves. We are also short on hangers and I need to purchase about $10 worth of those. I would like to have these items purchased and ready to use in a few weeks when I can finally do my daily chores and reorganize the house after I recoop from gallbladder surgery... as we women know nobody cleans it as good as mom does. |
|
Help! Stuck in disorganized hell and need Big Plastic Tubs
I put this wish in needy because it honestly is becoming sort of a must get established at our home. For months almost a year before my surgery I didn't feel like keeping my home as organized as possible. It's a mishap to me... everything is unorganized and since I was down for a while and didn't feel like it before things need to get organized again. I feel like it now and it's my one big goal right now. For the past few weeks it was the kids and Jason on their own almost and it made it way worse. I am in disorganized hell. |

Package from home to Takota while in Wyoming
ATTENTION: This wish is being pulled because Takota's Uncle was arrested yesterday on a 2 year warrant for pushing his baby's mama. She got made because he told her she could not go so there was room for Vinny and Takota so she called the warrant in and had him picked up at 7am July 4th. Trip is officially canceled. Now with no one up there to keep care of the property all 100 acres and the house may get taken by the tribe. We are hoping probate is finished as I will call on Tuesday to find out so their dad can sell his share to the tribe before it is taken. I am also contacting the only family member up there that can be trusted and see if she can rent the place out for them and if so Vinny said he'd give some of the money to the kids each month. We'll see how things go. |

GRANTED Mousepad that says I Love My Rotten Ungrateful Kids
Here is my entry into HL's needy wish contest. I saw this mouse pad today online and it is perfect for me. My kids are teens and most teens are Rotten and Ungrateful at times. My kids would take it as a joke but they now how they are LOL. $12 is the total cost with shipping. I don't need a new mouse pad but I'd LOVE to have this one :) |
|
Kate to get a Gift Card to Target
Kate has an addiction that I also share. It is shopping with coupons. She's great at it and has also taught me a lot. I mean I have quite a large stock pile of toiltries and household cleaners, dish and laundry detergents and Christmas presents. Plus a lot of other things. |
|
Help! Stuck in disorganized hell and need Big Plastic Tubs
I put this in needy as I need these to organize my house. I bought three a few weeks ago and they are full. I need more for the kids rooms and the living room. Plus, I've overstocked my pantry thanks to coupons and could use one in the kitchen. |
|
Brenda...Archambalt to get two books of stamps
I put this in the needy category because Brenda is such a dear woman ALWAYS sending out cards to brighten the days of others. She's trying to stock up on stamps to be able to send out all the Christmas cards she has to mail this year so this would really help her make her quota and brighten the holidays for many. |
|
Stuckinrehab to have a wonderful relaxing "me" day
Jenn has a lot going on in her life between her injuries, doctors visits, raising children and yet she is still a warm, kind and giving person. She has helped many and sometimes those she helps have not even shown appreciation. Let's show stuckinrehab how special she is and give her a day at the salon with getting her a manicure and a pedicure to pamper and relax her. She gives and gives and now it's time she receives. |
|
HeavenLeigh more doll supplies
I haven't seen any new family members in HL's household for a while so I thought maybe she could use some more supplies to let her creative juices kick in again. I'm wishing for $15 for HL to get more doll supplies. |
|
Postage Stamps that I use to mail cards and coupons
I am in need of a couple books of stamps. I mail cards out when the need arises and I also mail a lot of coupons to people which ads up. I also do a lot of mail in rebates. A couple of books of stamps would do me good for quite a while. |

I wish for a Walgreen's gift card and/or spending money
I haven't shopped much at Walgreen's except for school supplies a few weeks ago. They have some really great sales coming up soon in future ads and since I don't have any Register Rewards as I spent them on back to school I could really use a Walgreen's gift card to get me started on saving money getting awesome deals again. |

Edy's Frozen Strawberry Fruit Bars Rebel's Wish Contest
When I was going through my Gall bladder troubles I was put on a liquid diet. I tried Edy's Frozen Strawberry Fruit Bars and I LOVE them. Eating one now. I love to "snack" late at night and this is a great way to snack without packing on the pounds as there is 0g of fat in them and real chunks of strawberries that I LOVE. So, I'm wishing for a healthy snack as I try to change my eating habits. Here's the info on the side of the box... |
|
Lunch for one please... Rebel's wish contest
I frequent Taco Bueno regularly but it has been a while. I've been seeing their Cheese Enchilada Platter on the commercials and I really WANT to try one for lunch. During lunch time Jason is at work and the kids are at school so I can sneak off for a small treat. |
|
A week's worth of gas in my car... Rebel's contest
I really don't drive too far away from home each week so $5 usually lasts me an entire week for gas in my car. I drive a 2001 SL1 Saturn with 72k on it and it's dependable as can be and great on gas. In this day and age a week's worth of gas is a wonderful surprise. |
|
Wish to meet Kate
Kate lives about 3 hours from me give or take a few minutes. She goes to the Casino in Durant, Oklahoma which is also about 2 1/2 hours from my house. I would love to win so I'd have money for gas back and forth and a few bucks to gamble on so I can meet Kate at the Casino. |

Kitty treats and toys for Kiana's new kitten Stewie
We got my daughter, Kiana, a new kitten today. We had been looking for a couple of weeks and then a friend on facebook found a 3 month old (we're thinking) kitten in her yard and couldn't find the owners. She offered him to Kiana and brought him today. Kiana named him Stewie and she's in love with him. He's adorable and loves to purr as you hold and pet him. He's just scared of our boxer Chaos but he'll get used to him as Chaos is whining to play with Stewie and Kiana. |

Imagoldengirl to receive Angel Food Bountiful Blessing Box
I put this under needy because I think that it is something that will greatly help IMA's budget at this time and everyone needs a break every once in a while. I was really hoping that IMA would've left her Angel Food wish up last round because she helps so many in our community and it's time for us to be there for her a she has for all of us. I looked on the Angel Food website [ link ] and found that we can get her a gift card. It says it is $41 but I am asking for $50 in case there are taxes and whatever is left I will email to her to use to buy anything else she needs to go with the food she gets in her box. |
|
Chasity's Online Baby Shower
I started a Forum Baby Shower for Chasity and baby Leela. Thanks to the members that have started sending gifts and I will keep it running for a while. I put this under Greedy because this is for extra baby things that Chasity has on her registries. |
|
Wishing for fishing poles for the kids
Jason and I got our fishing licenses even though they only last until the end of the year because he feels so bored while looking for a job during his down time at home. He has five poles but only one works good. We want it to be a family adventure so I am wishing for money to help buy poles for the kids. It will cost about $70 with tax but the $50 won would greatly help make that possible. |

Winter Jackets for three teens
All three of my teens need new winter jackets this year. I don't have the money for expensive ones and $50 may only cover the cost of one or two but it will help GREATLY!! They walk a little over 1/2 a mile to school due to I can't drive early in the morning due to my medication and two have asthma so good winter jackets are a must have for them that is why I put it in the needy category. |

A warm Snuggie
It gets cold in my bedroom when I'm at the computer in the winter. All rooms but my bedroom and the laundry room are central heat and a/c. My bedroom has a window heater that keeps it warm most times but really cold days are cooler. I would love a snuggie to keep me warm as I play around online. |
|
A trip to the Casino for Jason and me
Jason and I went to the Casino for the first time ever together a few days ago. We came out $80 ahead Jason $60 and me $20. He spent his on shells at the gun range and I spent mine on shipping lol. I would love for us to go again. It was a fun date and gives us a fun outlet from real life for a little get away... even though it's only 15 minutes from home. |
|
Anniversary dinner at Olive Garden
Jason and I's first anniversary is November 23rd. We went to Olive Garden recently and their dish they are advertising (I can't remember the name of it) but it's pasta filled with cheese and a sauce with shrimp or with chicken. I chose the chicken and he chose the shrimp. But, it was AWESOME... first time either of us had ate there in over 15 years and I'm so craving that dish again. I would love for us to have dinner at Olive Garden for our first anniversary. |

A birthday wish as my birthday is Dec. 7th
My birthday is December 7th. I would love to go to the local massage school and get a one hour body massage for $30 and then I would take the $20 and get myself a pedicure which I haven't had in over a year. With my diabetes they cut my nails very well Jason tries but the salon is better and they paint my toe nails pretty, too. That's what I want for my birthday wish. |

Gas money to get to Takota's counseling and visitations
Mileage is racking up with Takota being at the boys home about 30 miles from our home. I make the trip twice per week so that's two hours of driving per week. Gas here has gone up to $2.69 per gallon at the cheapest. He will be there for at least another 6 to 10 weeks... it all depends on him. But, the gas bill is starting to add up. As I go on Thursdays for counseling and on Sundays for two hours for visitation with him. Winning this wish would give me the money to fill up my gas tank which will not cover all the gas I'll be using but it'd be a BIG help. |

Mrs. Stuck to have fun money with the kids for Christmas
Mrs. Stuck aka Stuckinrehab is an amazing mom that at times due to her injuries misses out on time with her kids. I think it would be nice for Mrs. Stuck to have the money for Mr. and Mrs. Stuck to take their kids to do something fun while they are out of school for Christmas break. |

Baby toys for Nana's house MG's Sob Story Entry
Kobe is my first grand child and every time he visits he brightens my day. He is almost 8 months old and there are hardly any toy for him to play with when he comes to Nana's house. I want Nana's house to be fun for him. He's a great lil' boy as he's always so happy and ready to discover. |
|
CVS shopping card for Kate MG's Sob Story
Kate is such a sweet dear soul. Meeting her was a blessing and I have a true friend for life. She is also the coupon queen and can turn a $20 gift card into at least $100 if not more. She did work for a day care but quit due to how the children were being treated which I applaud her for sticking up for those kiddos. So, she takes on odd jobs to get her coupon CVS shopping money. Some weeks she has money and some weeks she doesn't. She even checked out at Target the other day paying .14 cents for a LOT of things. |
|
Archambault aka Brenda to get a Penguin Pillow Pet MG Sob

Stuckinrehab AKA Mrs. Stuck to get some BBW MG's Sob Story

They adopted several people in GON land for Christmas and spoiled us. |

Toilet Paper as it goes fast around here
My stock pile is about to run out of toilet paper as I've been using my ecb and rr's on toys for OKC Angels and not my stockpile. I could buy 4 very large packs with $20 that should last us a while as it goes fast with 3 teens, their friends and two adults in the house. |
|
Large Plastic Storage Tubs
We need a few more large plastic storage tubs to help with our laundry to make it more organized and lots easier for me. I also need one as a toy box for my grandson Kobe. I'm sure I can get at least 4 for $20 and that would give each kid one and Kobe his toy box. |

OU Oklahoma Sooners Official Football Jersy
It's actually $60 but I can put in the extra $10. Jason is an Oklahoma State Fan and I've bought him two Jerseys over the past year one orange and one black. I want a Crimson and Cream Nike OU Official Football Jersey so I can wear it during the Tostito's Bowl that OU is playing in and really rub their win in Jason's face. We LOVE each other but fight over our football. But, I was born in Norman. I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred and someday I'll be Sooner dead. |

Please help me get him this fun toy. I shopped around and with tax and shipping it's about $30 on amazon. I would LOVE to have this here for Kobe and I to play with together. |

I am always putting my cap and pack coke rewards numbers onto my account on their website. If you don't use them but drink coke please PM me your numbers from the caps or packs so I can build up my account and maybe be able to have enough points to actually use next Christmas lol. |
|
Julie aka Mom22 to have some money to spend on herself
As many here know Julie AKA Mom22 has been diagnosed with lymphoma-early stage and I think that right now finding this out at Christmas and her birthday that she deserves the chance to go out and get herself something nice or go with someone to dinner and the movies or just anything that will make her feel a little better during such a depressing and painful time. Julie has given so much to so many of us and I think she deserves a "me" day at this time. |
|
Fishing Licenses for Jason and myself
Jason and I would love to get our 2011 fishing licenses. They are $25 each. Jason is wanting to teach the kids how to fish (he is an awesome step dad) and it would also give us some quality family time together. The kids' dad has always promised them that he'd take them fishing but he never follows through with any promises. Jason, however, always keeps his word to the kids and I adore him for that and so do the kids. Please help us out with your votes so that we can take the kids fishing as I know our family would have so much fun doing this. |

Needing lots of big plastic tubs for needy clothing closet
I am starting a clothing closet for the needy through the OKC Angels program. My husband, Jason, is helping me get our garage in order for it as it's basically a big clear space. I think at first it would be easier to store the clothing in big plastic tubs with sex and age written on the outside of them. I've already gotten some donations so it's time to start organizing. Please help OKC Angels help the poor and needy of Oklahoma City and metro surrounding areas. |
|
OKC Angels needs a real .com internet address & hosting fees
I put this in the needy category because it is a wish for a non profit that helps the needy of Oklahoma City. We have been getting by on a free hosting site but we are now growing very quickly. We need the okcangels.com web address and hosting fees for it. That way those needing help ONLY have to remember okcangels.com making us easier to find for those that need us. |

Prayers for my Dad who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's
My Dad has been having memory problems for a while and it took all kinds of waiting and tests to get the results but we found out right after July 4th that he does have Alzheimer's. It's so hard to come to terms with the fact that my Dad may pass away without knowing who we are. Please pray for both my Dad and also my Mom who is working full time and his primary caretaker. Also, please pray that when he sees the doctor on the 29th that they take his Driver's License away because he's been getting lost a LOT while driving. |

3 foot tall Sock Monkey at Walgreen's
I have a five member Sock Monkey family. They need a giant leader. Walgreen's has 3 foot tall Sock Monkeys for $20 plus tax that's why I put the wish for $24 to also cover tax. It's a greedy wish but one that would make me so happy to see my Sock Monkey family growing. I LOVE it and want it so badly but with three teens bdays and school starting Aug. 1st I'm not spending any money on my own wants at this time. |

My husband Jason a backpack for starting college
I put this under Needy because Jason really does need a backpack to keep all his books and studies organized. He just landed a wonderful job that offers tuition reumbursement and he is approved for a Pell Grant. He is going for his Associates Degree while he will also be working full time at his new job. He starts his new job Tuesday July 26th and we have no idea yet when his first paycheck will be all we know is that it's every other Friday. |

Ms. Spunky money for flowers at her daughter's Memorial
Ms. Spunky is such a wonderful lady that spends a lot of her time raising money for parents who have lost their children to have headstones for their graves when the families are not able to afford it. |

Photo Session for my kids, grandson and my parents
There is a photographer in our area that does photo sessions for $50 with the photos on disc and then I get the ones I want printed at Walgreen's. It's been over three years since the kids had their photos taken together and that time Kali wasn't able to be there. Now I have a grandson turning two years old this month and I'd LOVE to get photos of all four kids, my grandson and some of them with my parents as my Dad is 80 with Alzheimer's. The flowers are starting to bloom at a beautiful park here in Oklahoma City so it would be the perfect place for Grandparents, grandkids and great grandson photos. |

CVS and Walgreen's Gift Cards my supply closet is LOW
I've been too broke to coupon since my husband got hurt at work in November but he is FINALLY getting eight weeks of his back pay this week. I'd love to get a $25 GC at CVS and a $25 GC at Walgreen's to get started again. Because even though he's getting his back pay it's only for 8 weeks and God only knows when we'll get more considering he's been hurt and not able to work for 5 months!! |

My daughter Kiana a Mani and Pedi
My daughter Kiana has been asking to go and get a mani and a pedi. I think she's only had one in her life and she's 15 years old. She would be a very happy teen if she wins. She's a good girl. Gets good grades, does her chores, treats everyone graciously and with a kind spirit and I mean EVERYONE. She really is someone that deserves some pampering. |

Help towards my daughter Kiana's Driver's Ed fees
My daughter Kiana will be 16 in August. So will my son Tristan but I do not think he is mature enough to be driving. Kiana has to take a Driver's Ed course to get her Driver's License in the state of Oklahoma. The total cost is $300 and we're going to have to pay for it out of our income tax but that's a big chunk so $50 towards it would REALLY help!! |

Edy's Frozen Strawberry Fruit Bars
When I was going through my Gall bladder troubles I was put on a liquid diet. I tried Edy's Frozen Strawberry Fruit Bars and I LOVE them. I love to snack and I am now changing my diet and exercising and this is a great way to snack without packing on the pounds as there is 0g of fat in them and real chunks of strawberries that I LOVE. So, I'm wishing for a healthy snack as I try to change my eating habits. |
|
Fill up my gas tank
I really don't drive too far away from home each week so $15 usually lasts me an entire week for gas in my car. I drive a 2001 SL1 Saturn with 78k on it and it's dependable as can be and great on gas. Plus sometimes I use less than $15 per week so $50 in gas should last me a month. |

Kate Tabor a Walgreen's Gift Card for her coupon shopping
Kate is a whiz at coupon shopping (she taught me but she is WAY better than I am) so I'm sure that her getting a $15 Walgreen's gift card could help her turn it into about $50 or more worth or products and help fill up her supply closet some more. Please give Kate your stars to send her shopping at Walgreens or as we lovingly call it Wags. |

A nice lunch date for Cory, Brenda and JT
With all of Brenda and JT's hard work at the Volunteer for helping the homeless and to help get HL aka Cory out of the funk she's been in lately (we all go through it at times) I think it would be great for them to all three go out and enjoy a nice lunch together. $30 should cover anywhere they want to go even a fancy place and they do deserve it. Let's put up the stars to send them all three out to a nice lunch. |

A Native American Necklace
A lady on the local buy/sell/trade is making me a Native American Necklace for me to purchase for $7. She had a hard time finding a pendant for it so I bought a Native American Silverish looking Feathers for her to use on it. I bought a fish pendant necklace from her which I am using as the photo and I LOVE it. She did not leave the treble hook on it as is in the photo as that would be dangerous so instead she just used the treble hook to hang it as she braided the necklace. The pendant I ordered on eBay is coming from Thailand and will take about three weeks to ship so by time this wish is over and paid out should be right around the time that the necklace is ready for me to pay for and pick up. |

A used bed for our guest room
We don't HAVE to have this but it sure would be nice so I am putting this in the Greedy category. My MIL has come to visit twice and a couple that we are friends with have come to visit us once and they didn't leave to head back to OKC until after midnight and commented on how great it would be if our spare bedroom was turned into a guest room so they could stay over. My parents will be coming to visit soon, too. It would be really nice if we could get a mattress with box springs and bed rails for that bedroom. It even has it's own bathroom which is Jason and I's bathroom but it would be the guest bathroom when we would have guests here using that room. |
