Our most reliable car is falling apart yet again. It's about 15 years old and this piece has been patched multiple times and HAS to be replaced. Our 'backup' car is even older an on its last legs as well.

My spouse has been disabled for years and has yet to see any benefits. I'm borderline disabled myself but have been trying desperately to support a family of 5 on a very small income. My 'job' requires a computer and mine is dying. I'm about to have to beg friends to let me get on their computers long enough to do my work, which might not even be enough to keep us afloat.

I just wish for the wisdom or insight to know who here is really for real and who isn't. Why do the same people make 3 or 4 identical wishes in the same round? Why do they make up sob stories that are obviously untrue? Or make 10 big wishes for different things in the same round either?

I think Liesl would be so very cheered up by a cute pair of crocs with the neat little decorative buttons. :)

Escape clause: Since Liesl has reminded me that she knows where I live, if this gains any funds I'll forward them to her to pick out her own pair (or get a pedicure or something).

I've been trying to save up for an iPod for over a year, but every time we get the slightest bit ahead either an emergency comes up or we end up needing it for groceries or gas or something more pressing. I really WOULD use it for work and I might even use it as an exercise tool but I can't swear to that. :)

I'm looking at a refurb one of a previous generation. :)

I am self-employed as a sort of consultant. My laptop is nearly 3 years old, overheating constantly, blue-screening constantly. The trackpad has been broken for two years and the hard drive is dying. I am the entire support of my family and have been for years, but I barely make enough to cover the bills and keep a roof over our heads.

I'm sick of the whiners on here. Don't shout out to every person who gives you a one - maybe they thought your wish was stupid or had no real merit or just wasn't as worthy as many other wshes.

And don't whine about stupid or useless wishes. If you hate them then vote them down, DUH.

A Refurbished iPod

A Refurbished iPod

I want an iPod for many reasons. I need it for many other reasons which are work-related. I'm a consultant dealing with reviewing music, but I'm also supporting a whole family on my own. I've tried for over a year to save up for an iPod, but life always seems to get in the way.

This month we have to try to get at least one car running.
Last month it was groceries or gas or something else more pressing.
It's always something, even when I have money for my birthday or Christmas it always ends up funding necessities.

Thanks for considering my wish.

I NEED an iPod for my work but I can't afford it. I've tried for over a year to save up for one but more pressing things always come up. I would use it extensively in my work as I try to support a child and a disabled husband.

I am a freelance music reviewer who could really use an iPod to keep up with the latest releases. Reviewing music is my livelihood and having an iPod would make things so much easier so I'll have more time to spend with my wonderful family.

Yes, I have a specific one picked out - a 60 GB video - one generation back. It's about 1/2 price when available and I check the availability every single day. A 60 GB would allow me to have all of my hundreds of CDs in one wallet-sized spot for easy reference. This could help our family greatly.

I am supporting a family including a disabled husband on my own limited income. Please help if you can.

For certain freakish posters it would be heavenly to be able to put them on ignore, maybe even to never even see their wishes or comments.

I am a freelance music reviewer who could really use an iPod to keep up with the latest releases. Reviewing music is my livelihood and having an iPod would make things so much easier so I'll have more time to spend with my wonderful family.

The price has changed because the refurbushed 60GB models haven't been available for about a month now, but the refurbished 80GBs are still available occasionally.

I'm trying to support a household including a disabled husband with no benefits. Thanks.

I work online as a freelance consultant. Having a laptop enables me to take my work along during family drives and extra jobs like babysitting (when the child is asleep).

My current laptop is 3 years old and is only holding on by a thread. It overheats severely and parts of of it have been broken for years.

I'm trying to support a family, including a disabled husband who receives no benefits.

An Anniversary Gift

It's almost our anniversary and Stogie has put up with me for almost 8 years. I'd like to be able to give him a real anniversary gift this year - we usually can't afford to give each other real gifts ever. Since I can't really keep it a secret from him on here, I'd just let him decide what to do with the money. He would most likely choose cigars or coffee, or possibly a night out.

Thanks.
