What would improve the quality of your life?

[True Dough]

That question was posed to people age 5 to 75. There's one answer that spans generations, but many who are quite content with their existing circumstances...

1. Jack up my brain and run a new body in under it

I'd be just peachy if this old carcass still worked.

2. More money.

We were ponzied by Bernie Madoff in 2008.

We need so many things (like new glasses, hearing aid repairs, dental work)

5. Sorry you got scammed

By Madoff, that just sucks.

[True Dough]

6. Sorry to hear that!

That's awful to have a shyster steal your life savings. I hope you're able to get by, In the Wind.

3. A Democratic President

With Democratic majorities in Congress.

4. Precisely

It would make a bigly difference.

7. That wish is just a matter of time

Hopefully we all have time on our side!

8. I wish I could lose about 80 pounds

but I don't wish it hard enough to do much about it so I guess it's not bothering me that much yet.


I weighed 125 pounds when I got married. Sitting on about 230 now. 3 and half pounds a year doesn't sound like much but it adds up...

9. It can creep up on you

But congrats on 30 years of marriage.

10. thanks!

I'd like to blame it on her cooking but she can't really cook lol. (edit~ by "it" i mean the weight gain, not the 30 years)


Fantasy land: After we got engaged she once said "now I just cook what I like so if you don't like something the way I cook it you have to let me know or else I'll just keep cooking it."

Real life: Nope. you cannot tell her you don't like something she cooked. At least, not that early - now it's pretty easy.

we mostly eat out now.

11. Eating at restaurants or takeout foods

packs so many extra calories due to rich ingredients and large portions. That could easily account for 3.5 pounds per year. Besides, it's expensive.

But it suits a lot of folks' lifestyles, so it's more and more common.

12. I'd like

to wake up to 10 million dead republicans this weekend. From heart attacks.
Lots of parts for donor needs, next election may swing!

fuck em all.

[hibbing]

13. A female partner to share my life with

I just don't get out enough to meet very many.


Peace

14. You mean besides a recount?

Well, I guess.....shit, that's really all I could ask for. I'd love a Tessla and a job paying in the six figures, but......gotta admit, my and large, I can't complain
