What do you wish you knew?

I wish I knew what mandy looked like.

*shrugs*

Thanks, I always wanted to put a face with the name.

How to understand women.

How to motivate myself to do certain things, how to get along with my sister, or at least how not to get so upset by her control freak doginess, and how to manage my time and money better.

Anything I'm interested in knowing usually comes to me in a day or two. Usually in the form of television (for arts and sciences & such) or through vision quest meditations for the more serious stuff. there are somethings that take a year of experiences to really start understanding. As some anonymous person made me realise. I don't know for sure why everyone seems subject to suffering. When I meet an adult I can usually identify the karma, but that doesn't explain grand scale atrocities or even why innocent children next door are subject to their grandmothers hell. I have a feeling god won't have some friend e-mail me the reason for that one tomorrow. Only when I throw in karma from prior lives can I answer that. Perhaps I should dig into the past life karma of the innocent neighbor kids if I can and test the theory out. In my visions I have seen the history of much evil, from tigers to fences, flaming torches and spears, even Lilith and a few other evil or destructive deities. Why it exists, and why innocent people are subject to it, I do not know.

It all comes down to wisdom, responsibility, and knowing how to best use my time and talents.

how things will turn out

I wish that I knew what I wish I knew

Actually, I wish I knew all the stuff I need to know for my AS exams!

I wish I knew now what I didn't know then. Or I wish I knew then what I don't know now. Or something.

Nothing more than what God wants me to know.

I wish I knew the future.

I could probably think of a lot of things if I tried but the only thing right now is that I wish I knew why some people look at me funny when I go out in public.... and I also wonder why Connie and Bessie always had something against me. I also wish I knew how to build a dollhouse for my daughter.

What is going to happen to me after I die, then I could determine whether or not I should party or be a goody two shoes

Um...why people can jokingly hit anyone but me? Why my school hasn't booked a place to have the grad? Why is there so much pain in the world? Why nobody ever believes me? And what does E=MC squared really mean, anyway?

I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger? (That's what came into my head when I read your comment)

How to speak several foreign languages
How to play an instrument
How to do math in my head
How to make $ doing what I love, which is write

How to tie a cherry stem with my tongue.
How to juggle.
How to tapdance.
How to knit something besides scarves.
How to play piano.
How to get my boyfriend to clean the apartment.
How to crash celebrity-filled galas.
How to not be afraid on airplanes.

My first thought when I read your comment was: I wish I had known then what I do now. I also wish I didn't know now how much I didn't know then.

I also wish I knew how not to be afraid on airplanes. But I am usually terrified before I get on the airplane, then calm down once I am in the air. I can't really explain why.

How to be the nicest, sweetest person in the world.

Yeah, I was trying to be funny and play on that saying. Guess it didn't work too well.

It worked just fine! I thought you were trying to remember the saying. At any rate, I knew what you meant, and agreed with you.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

more math

why I was cursed with this horrid earthsuit

I really wish a knew if there really is a God, and how did we come here, and why are we here? Those questions keep freaking me out. Are we worshiping the right religion, and how do I know it's right?

Good survey

Why am I stuck with my brother?

I wish I new about Krishna sooner.

what I should know

how do you know you don't know what you should know? or maybe you know you know what you should know.

Those are the kinds of things I wish I knew too. I also wish I knew how to cook all different sorts of foods from all over the world.

Flight attendants HATE me!

Yeah, me too. I'm a pretty lousy cook. But a creative cook. Did you know there are really dozens of ways to prepare Ramen Noodles?

Exactly what to say in any given moment.

Hey. that's okay. They should be used to nervous people, and would probably deal with someone who is scared of flying than some of the drunks and rude people they see.

What I do is gather the ingredients. If your supermarket is like mine, the truly, not the fake international sections are much cheaper and yet far better quality.
Then meditate upon the cultures roots, whethar that be horus and the nile, or whatever mythology and geography that culture had. Then just cook anything with the ingredients. A lot easier and more satisfying than following some recipe because you become one with the entire experience, rather than a spectator.

Sure, in a hotel room there's the hot tap water method. At home you can add peanutbutter, pineapple, onion, and peppers to get Thai ramen. There are billions of ways to prepare ramen.

The way to San Jose.

I wish I knew now what I'll be wishing I knew when I think back on now and wish I knew now what I'll know then, then I won't have to wish it at all. Ya know?

I love that song. can you play it? The Karen Carpenter version too.
Advance hindsight, eh? Impressive.

Uh huh.

I wish I knew what I want to be when I grow up

Pfft. I tried getting drunk on a plane ONCE. Why they even serve alcohol is beyond me. The two really don't mix.

Did you have to subject us all to that?

I know. I had one drink on a plane once, and my ears didn't feel like they opened up for about a day.

If you come to Parkerfest, prepare to drink your face off. I look so sour in last year's pictures because I was wasted on champange cocktails.

I am looking forward to the champagne cocktails myself!

Who my true friends are. Like I wish there was an invisible meter only I could see that let me know how much people cared for me. Cause its really hard sometimes to tell, and trust is a difficult thing for me. But oh well.

It changes all the time to the extent that you love them (more or less). Be friends with everyone you meet. The joy you experience is that from your own heart. It is increased by giving. To rely upon the love of others is to be a vampire, though welcome it in when you see it is offered. Love is not stone; It is as dynamic as water. I trust no one but god, who fortunately, operates all the people. I ask that no one trust me, because, although I will always mean well, the moment I am taken for granted, or I am motivated by duty rather than love, murphy's law will prevent me from serving on your behalf. Presume them to be your friends until proven wrong. Otherwise, your distrust will be reflected back to you. Other people might help kindle your heart, but is in you. When it's gushing like a waterfall from a diamond, you'll find you have an abundant love for every star, eye, & apple in Gods universe without asking for love because god had it hidden in you all the time. Live light heartedly and be good to yourself. Don't bother asking if they love you, but neither suspect them of not. God gives to you what you give to god. People are the primary media through which this is done.

There's a song like that?

Shall I sing?
Do you know the way to San Jose? I've been away so long. Do be do be do be do do, do be do be do be do be do.

Gotcha.

come over, we can have a mystical jam on guitars.

If you are a creative cook, you're probably not a lousy cook. My favorite thing to make is pasta, because it's so easy and versatile.

Everything

Haha I like that answer.

does a mystical jam need extra pectin?

casava root works fine. So do boiled down toe nail clippings. I have quite the jam collection with all sorts of guava, rose petal, ginger pear, etc. I think my all time favorite was licorice-mint made by some monks (Oblates of St. Genesius) in wine country, north CA.

I just arranged my fridge in a continental spectrum: mexican-american-mediteranean-mideast-tropical island-asian. I have half a dozen types of jars of chilis which find their way into thai, indian, etc. but since my main dish is supreme nachos, they're kept with mexican.
As time goes on, it's like I'm becoming my own island, drawing from my common denominators from all the other continents. So I've centered on chili, onion, pineapple, red bell pepper, tomatoes, dates, cream cheese, ...
As far as your pasta goes, my rule is figure out how to make your favorite sauces, after which pasta, rice, corn cake/mush, pastry, potatoes can all be pretty much substituted. The'll all put up with anything from a garlic spaghetti sauce to thai curry or a meat & cherry sauce.

ah, toe jam...

Yummy

lol I know the feeling!

How to fluently read and write Japanese and Latin. All else I merely wish I had the time and the patience to learn the hard way.

I wish I knew how to get enough funding for a research assistant.

the future

imagine it. the greatest of utopias and apocalypses are all options.

Hey... you don't have to pick just one thing. Learn 3 or 4 things, then start with one. Then you have something to fall back on if you decide you don't like it.

or be like me and pick a few hundred.

I'm now switching to Tourism after a year of History which I didnt like at all...

Japanese. I've got a yen for them. (Groan, everybody. That really was terrible, huh?)Didn't I read that someone on S.C. is in Japan? My son is in the Navy and he said that when they were last in Japan that they were treated very rudely by some of the merchants. They said they didn't serve 'round eyes'. I always thought they had a lot more class than that.

Hey twister! You look a lot younger in person!(Or something like that)

I already know it...the meaning to life is 42. The trick to flying is to miss the ground.

I wish i knew what people were thinking

Hummmm,I've lived with & around a kaleidoscope of nationalities in Hawaii a good part of my life & the locals there are very cordial to everyone especially tourist.Everyone knows that tourist are our number one money makers.The Japanese there are great.However,JAPAN is entirely a whole different country.Could it be that the Japanese people there do not take kindly to the U.S.Navy being there? The Pillippines do not like the U.S.Navy in their country either.Perhaps if he were there as a civilian they might welcome him then.I find this very disturbing.Sorry to hear that.I had wanted to travel there someday when I retire.Perhaps I had better stick with the local Japanese I know & love in HawaiiI hate racisim of any kind.

Thats a hard one.I need to ponder that for a while.

how to make every single babe in the world fall for me

If my boyfriend had ever cheated on me.

I wish I knew what heaven looks like, all the details.

I wish I knew then what I know now.

I wish I knew loads of other languages because I could then understand all the people I know that don't speak much, or any english.(I know alot of people that don't speak english.)

You can write english but not speak it?

I wish that we could confirm that there is other life forms outside of our world and beyond. Since we exist, this means life does exits in the universe. What we need is confirmation of where the other life forms reside.

Hello dear I was just wondering if you had received your styro foam names.I had mailed out quit a few & I haven't heard back from about 4 SC users yet,so I'm wondering if it got lost in the mail or worse,got damaged or stolen.Please let me know as I had sent 3 names in your box.Biggles ,SueBee,mandy,Kate,Juliw,Love Light & heyzeus1 all received theirs.But now I'm worried about yours & jkiehart.

Yes. I did get them. They are awesome! Thanks. Just today I found the perfect spot for them. There's a wooden frame around the opening between the dining room and entry way. They fit on top of the frame. In the opening there is a big table where the computers are. So the styrofoam names are above the computer I usually use.

Since we exist life exits?
Today was one of those days where I just found it so deliriously ecstatic that anything whatsoever exists.

Thank God!!! I was beginning to get worried.Wheeeew! that's a load off of my mind.Well great then.I had just finished sculpting Lexie a new name & am in the process of painting it YELLOW today.Also sending you one for Lahdee.She is your twin right?? I didn't want her to feel left out.But,it's a surprise as I had not spoken to her about this.When I do mail the package,I'll include her name along with Lexie's.

You must be getting expediant as well as good at this by now.

Hi Kristal!!!! What have you been up to babe??I haven't seen you here for quit a while.I was beginning to get worried about you.Talk to me girlfriend!!How have you been lately??

OK Thanks. I'll be sure to mail it to her. I kept the packaging for the ones you sent. I painted a wooden name thing for my nephew. I thought it was perfect for mailing. It's coincidentally the same size.

Oh,right on!!!! I'll include a little note.Oh BTW what color do you think she'll like?

Well,I've seen you. Busy x 4. I didn't see any 'just have to comment' stuff. Swamped. Job, appts, car restoration, etc. & school starts next monday. I hope I can fit at least one actual day in at the beach before then. I had a nightmare vision of a new variety of consciousness that kept me up all last night.

Geeze,Kristal I thought you fell of the face of the earth.Good to know that you've been keeping busy lately.

Least you can say you been to the beach this summer.Me?? Haven't been to the coast since we moved from Long Beach.

I play with the little harmonica daily & think of you.It always brings a smile to my face.The cymbals sits on my computer with my monkee.Once in awhile I'd play with each of them,mostly when my MSN is trying to connect.

Do you suppose that perhaps any meds may be causing you nightmare visions??

I don't know. Maybe purple.

Thank you,thank you,thank you! I was hoping that I would receive the color preference this morning.Cool now I can mail the packages,this afternoon.Oh BTW,I boxed Lexies name last night,so you'll be receiving two separate boxes.
