well, I wished that I'd get over the flu and rgod said I'd over do it and have a re-lapse. Just what happened. Today is my first out of bed again. I wish we all stay healthy a long while.
still4gvn - I'm so sorry about your illness and relapse. But I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better though.
POOF: You are 5' 5" and skinny. You've spent so much money on your new wardrobe that you are now bankrupt.
WISH: I wish I had thick lustruous hair.

poof....the makers of Rogaine come out with a new improved product using recumbent DNA. The animal tests are great: all the rats have long silky hair. They're ready to do human tests and give you free products for life for enrolling. It works great: you now have long, lustrous silky hair ALL OVER, just like the rats.
I wish I had a magic carpet for transportation.

Hypertrichosis! Very cool or would I should say "very hot" with all of that hair? I saw a movie about this once starring Robert Downey Jr. - it was pretty twisted and I wouldn't watch it again - but the way in which the story unfolded was fascinating.  You know, he made a very good living selling wigs ...
POOF: You have a magic carpet for transportation. It is made by the Moller corporation - who ironically, have never been able to get a car to fly despite their claims to the contrary. But, the flying carpet is successful. You have been selected to beta test the carpet. You take it to the store, to work, to church, to your child's school (your child is mortified). People stop and stare as you glide through the air. You have a few close calls initially ... and swallow a bug or two, but in time you become an expert pilot. The day before you must file your report, you look at your beta testing checklist and realize that you've neglected to complete your altitude tests. Donning a special suit and mask, you gradually ascend until you are past the first layer of clouds. Suddenly, you see an amazing sight. A woman wearing one sandal is hanging upside down on a cloud. You slowly approach her while looking at the computer printout that is embedded in the carpet. You see an early report that you filed a few days earlier:
**************
Report Author Code Name: still4gvn
Date: 8-25
Report Location:
http://forums.crosswalk.com/fb.aspx?m=3742870
Excerpt:
Sent box with Moller Flying Sandals to Rgod (hereafter referred to as "Subject") for testing. Subject wears sandals, but releases the box into atmosphere. Subject inadvertently activates the flying feature. Subject performs gymnastic feats while climbing in altitude. Subject removes one sandal. The leg with the sandaled foot continues to hop and fly; the subject's remaining sandal becomes entangled with cloud #37865. Recommendation: Assist subject - emergency intervention.
************
Alarmed, you look up from the printout only to realize that the Moller corporation just left Rgod on the cloud for close to a week and that the carpet is heading straight for her. You attempt to brake, but the controls fail. You brace yourself for impact. Rgod's remaining sandal disloges and continues upward into the ionosphere. Suddenly you feel a heavy weight and see fingers wrapped around the edge of the carpet. You attempt to grab Rgod's hand as she dangles from the carpet and manage to hoist her onto the carpet surface. The carpet begins to sink, slowly at first, then more quickly - it has only been calibrated to hold the weight of one adult, not two! You scroll through the computer screens, desperately trying to recalibrate it only to see a frozen screen ... followed by the Microsoft Vista logo ... followed by the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. You both grab each other, scream, and pray as you plunge downward through the atmosphere, faster and faster like a meteor racing towards the earth.
Then, 20 feet before impact, the magic carpet suddenly stops; the emergency fail-safe worked! However, the suddenness of the stop knocks both of you off of the carpet and you both hit the ground and pass out. When you awaken, you are in the hospital. You both find that you are alive, but that you've both sustained serious injuries and will require many months of rehabilitation. Your lawyer visits you and tells you that the fine print on the contract for the sandals and the magic carpet indicates that Beta Testers cannot sue the manufacterer for medical expenses, nor are there any channels for reimbursement. Additionally, neither of your insurance companies, unfortunately cover the damages, leaving you both in tremendous debt. Before she leaves, your lawyer slips you a humongous bill.
WISH: I wish I could play a lyre.

Wow, Rgod, I love reading your stories!
POOF! You can now play the lyre. However, you did not specify how well you wanted to be able to play it. You can only play one note.
I wish I could come up with interesting scenarios like rgod!

LOL. that was a ride!
poof....Annie and the rest of us start a new game: continue a story. kind of what rgod was doing - we build on each others' stories, either continuing the plot or taking a new direction or sub-plot.
I wish someone would start the new game thread and start the story (I'm on my way to bed and can't think)

(((poof))) pet rat? That is something I haven't seen in awhile. Your rat is fine and healthy and squeeky and dropping rat berries all over the place and tickling your nose with his whiskers... so when his number is up, you find him peacefully passed away in his habitat and no pain from tumors.
I wish March could find a more typical pet, like a boa constrictor or iguana.

Poof! She recieves a free Boa constricter and immediately (how I don't know?) fall in love with her new pet. However the reptile will only eat live rats as it has acid reflux and can't seem to swallow anything else.
Overcome by grief for her previous pet she is unable to feed a rat to the boa. The boa subsequently escapes and is so hungry it trys to eat the next door neighbors jack russell terrier. It chokes to death.
I wish I had a new weedeater.

poof.....my cat is now in your yard. She loves eating weeds. Unfortunately, they make her throw up - which she insists on doing inside the house.
I wish I could think of dif things to cook. DH just likes beef.

POOF! You feed your dh stewed alligator tail with a side of seaweed.
I wish I would get lots of sleep tomorrow. During the last three days, when I was off from work and sleeping at night like a normal person, I couldn't sleep right. One would think I hadn't been working third shift for nearly a year and gotten somewhat used to it. I love my job, I just need to sleep!
BTW--I haven't been on CW for a few days (a lot of times that happens during my days off) and came back and was delighted with the idea for a build a story thread. I'll check a little later and see if somebody started one. If not, maybe I'll do something. It's too good an idea to let slide!

Okay, starting a new game thread is going to take some thinking, and some confidence in my own ideas. I started to do it, but I gave up. Maybe I'll try again after I think about it some more.

good to have you back. I nearly started one also but couldn't figure how to start the story.
I wish someone would catch an alligator so I could cook some more for dh. Hard to find them in the NW.

OH, we had one in the pond at the air force base today. Someone might have been feeding him since we was not as shy as he should have been. (((poof))) he is now in your bathtub looking at you with eyes asking , "got any scraps? Hot dogs would be nice".
Gator tails are good. I wish I had some from a gator I hadn't seen swimming around alive and kicking.

poof.....you can have this one back - I don't like the way it's looking at Kittycat. We tried to take him for a swim in Lake Washington, but they said all pets had to be on a leash and he kept eating the leash. and they're always complaining that there are too many Canadian geese - you'd think they wouldn't make such a fuss over a couple getting eaten.
I wish I could find a companion for Kittycat. Can't be a cat, she's made it clear this is a one cat house.

You found the perfect companion for Kittycat. It's a gorilla. It's so cute how they've bonded. But you get a lot of funny looks on your unusual choice of a pet.
I wish the weather was better so people's alarms wouldn't go off so much and I could just post all night and not have to do any actual work on my job.

poof...no alarms all night. But oops - in the morning you find out that there were emergencies but the alarm system was disconnected. BTW, I'm glad you're not responding to emergencies in Galveston.
I wish I had a part time job for a little spare cash (I'm retired).

(((poof))) you have your transporter but while you are off at work, the gorilla opens the fridge and pours the milk out for the kitty...granted, he is none too graceful and spills more on the floor than what got into the bowl. Then the two buddies track muddy foot prints across the house and they fall asleep together on the couch. Cute as can be but shedding hair and fur all over your living room.
I wish they would develop an easier way to do the diagnostic check0up that the doctors want you to do at age 50... which involves two days of getting ready and one day of getting over it.

poof...you find out your health plan doesn't pay for that diagnostic checkup. They've gone into alternative medicine and send you to someone who just looks at you to see your aura. Her diagnosis aren't accurate, but at least they're covered by the insurance.
The gorilla is insisting on sleeping in our bed with dh and cat and me. Cat comes and sits on my stomach several times a night and gets her ears rubbed. I wish gorilla wouldn't demand the same privilege.

(((poof))) now the gorilla doesn't mind having his own corner of the bed but you DH has developed a love of laying on your tummy getting his ears scratched....
I wish I had a good wish.

um, that happens too.
I wish I were healthy. Somehow I pulled a muscle and it hurts to stand up or lean over. Even leaning forward to type hurts. On the good side, cat likes to have me laying down so she can sit on me purring.

POOF! Latest medical research shows that the best way to cure a pulled muscle is to lie down with a cat purring on you. You should feel better in about four weeks.
(Actually, I hope you're feeling better already. But this is ruin a wish, so I had to ruin it some way.)
I wish that when I take my daughter to get her allergy test read in a little while, we find out just what it is that's kept her broken out for months, so we can banish that thing from her life.

! Actually, I like your responses and scenarios also - as well as still4gvn's stories and sense of humor.
