Much more questions with the answers being yes

What's the opposite of "no" last week?

What's the opposite of "no" in the future?

What's the opposite of "no" then?

What's the opposite of "no" now?

I give in what is it?

I like that answer. 🙂

I no longer wish for impossible, so practically I would ask to be debt free with enough money to put a downpayment on a modest home.

Very modest. Even more feasible if you pioneered and built your own dwelling.

@FrayedBear I am 50 years old with neck and shoulder issues, I doubt I could learn enough carpentry or be strong enough to build a house.

@Nemeister A problem. I was in the process of making myself a mobile home when some mother's child did a hit and run on me leaving me for dead in the road. Bang went that plan and home of the previous six years.

@FrayedBear I'm sorry 😟 That's horrible!

@Nemeister C'est la vie. Not your child nor you.

Since I am not a believer in magic, it would have to be something someone could actually provide. So, I would ask every Multi-Billionaire on Earth to give 1 Billion Dollars to provide clean drinking water, education and an end to poverty worldwide. Oh, wait that would need magic to loosen the purse string of those greedy fucks.

Ooh I like your idea!!

Magic, it exists! See the Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation - [gatesfoundation.org] It currently has an endowment of more than $40 BILLION dollars. That mostly comes from Gates and Buffet and a couple other big money donors. That is $40 Billion in the bank today after spending billions already on vaccines, safe water, education, poverty reduction, and similar projects. Too bad they are not the rule, though.

i was thinking something similar!

I like that idea. 🙂

One billion dollars deposited into my bank account and an excellent accountant, please.

Money was my first thought. And then someone ruined the moment by mentioning world peace. I guess I t should have thought of that too.

you'd be dead in a year !

@markdevenish But it will be one hell of a year!

@TerriCity I saw that too. Perhaps with my money I can aid in attempting world peace?

A new set of lungs, not just a transplant but real new ones.

How long do matched transplants last and how far are they off perfecting a blood oxygenator that can be worn on the wrist?

@FrayedBear Some have lasted 10 years , about 25% lasts 5 years, it really depends on best donor match. They have experimented with animals and had some success with oxygenated blood but not long lasting results. It's most likely long time before human use. I'd put money on stem cells first, there's even a procedure now that gives some good results using your own stem cells,but it's expensive and not Medicare approved. I heard $25,000 cost.

@buzz13 The only person I know off with similar problem is the great English fiddle player Dave Swarbrick (Fairport Convention, Martin Carthy, Alistair Hulett and other folk musicians). I'm not sure if he is still alive not having corresponded now for some years - No he sadly died in 2016 Dave Swarbrick - Wikipedia [en.m.wikipedia.org] . There is a Swedish chap who runs an organisation called Breatheology who may be able to give you some benefit. There are lots of YouTube videos and talks -

I wish I had the power to make that a reality. 🙂

That the White House fall into a sink hole with no survivors.

We could use a do-over

@geko Yes, lets keep the house itself, but offload that crap ton of bullshit currently in it. We will need fumigators and dump trucks for sure.

Low six figure loan to start my business then take care of the rest of my family.

Why cripple yourself with a loan when an outright gift without strings is much more empowering?

@FrayedBear Actually a gift would better but I know business people and giving money is something they do not do. Far too selfish.

@Wrytyr I was reading of a Canadian university professor in psychology who has recently become very popular for his opinions. So popular that people are apparently giving him money to the tune of $60,000 per month.

Something that is vital to someone else.

Vital to them is not necessarily vital to you unless you wish to give it to that needy person in which case I love your reply.

@FrayedBear That is exactly what I mean.

Nice answer. Very selfless. 🙂

You, I want your body in my bed.

Wizardry?

@FrayedBear You have a nice yard.

@Whathappensnow Thank you but past tense - Was. It is currently in need of serious weeding and tidying. The photos were spring at least two years ago.

President dtRumpf convicted of Treason.

And then we'd have Pence.... which may be more terrifying.

And his entire administration, including Pence. And most of the Republicans in the House and Senate.

Agreed!

Do you know the winning mega million lottery numbers for tomorrow and can I have them. Lol.

@Captnron59 Lol. "Yes, I do know the numbers for tomorrow. Now... be gone!"

Tele-transport to go to lunch w/you!

That was smooth!

Aww. Sweet. 🙂

Can I have $5,000 in my bank account every week for as long as I live and perfect health until I died of old age at 99? Seems reasonable right?

Ooooo, that would be SWEET!

Seems reasonable to me. 🙂

Unconditional love

#MagicPudding

Interesting...not sure I “get it” must reflect further. @FrayedBear

I tried, but I got nuthin

You've already got paradise @Rugglesby! The only thing that you are missing is an accommodating woman.

@FrayedBear you are right. things are pretty good here, I can't see me leaving any time soon.

Tempting question and I think it depends on the circumstances. Today, because my health sucks and no amount of money or anything else will enhance my life more than health--I would ask for good health for the rest of my life.

lerlo Level 8 Mar 10, 2018

It is a sad fact that for many it is not until health is lost that they realise how important it is. Some years ago I ceased to sign off correspondence with "your faithfully or sincerely". Now I use my own device: "I hope that the Companions of Health, Peace and Fulfilment travel with you throughout your life."

Good answer
Sorry about your health

Perfect thought

Aiming for god status?

nah. I just wanna get past this rebirth cycle and stop being a slave to linear time.

The key to your heart ...not bad for a chat up line first thing .

Depends on whether it's addressed to the tin man or one of his relatives.

Smooth. 🙂

Depends on whom you are asking... If it is the universe, world peace.... If it is the guy at the package store, free Crown Royal for life...lol.... Little bit of a spread there, but I'm flexible....

It’s all about your perspective, right?

@Alliegirl Exactly.... The ability to make compromise is the key to a happy life...lol...

That is a very provocative question you asked. My imagination is running wild.

Imagination is a good thing. 🙂

I have my fantasies @Alliegirl

I no longer ask.....I just Do It!

Nena Level 6 Mar 10, 2018

Great attitude!

Billion dollars

You are aware that if you live for another 50 years and simply spent the money without receiving any interest or earnings then you would have to dispose of $1.666 million each month to reduce nil in 50 years?

$62,000 to pay off my student loans.

Isn’t that insane to get an education? A pharmacist I work with told me that she and her husband pay $1200 a month on student loans. I was flabbergasted. Good luck. 🙂

more time

Another god question.

Sex, obviously

You have two hands?
