That my parents could have lived to spend more time with their grandchildren. I am so close to mine, both in terms of mileage and relationships, and it makes me realise what my parents (and in laws) and my own children lost out on when they were younger.

Urmstongran I’ll go with your wishes. I might change number two slightly to wish that I had the skills and knowledge to deal with those problems and the power to use the knowledge.

Well, today I wish someone could find the flipping leak in our roof.

Then for the decieators to arrive the very next day.

And an end to Covid of course.

My first wish would be for unlimited wishes.?If not...

Since three wishes can go wrong in so many ways, I would be very cautious.
1. wish....no more viruses of any kind.
2.wish....for 50,000,000 to appear in my bank account that was actually legally mine to spend ( you have to be specific with Genie wishes!) Then I could improve a lot of lives with family, friends and charities, whilst not asking for too much.
3.wish...That I became magically four inches taller and a stone lighter in weight ( without losing any organs etc!)?

Good health for my family.

An end to Covid.

A kinder, less selfish society.

Shrub Wed 09-Dec-20 11:49:07

An end to Covid.
An end to man made climate change.
A return to sensible democracy and equality for all.

Less worry for children who are trying so hard to stay on top of school work. So much to catch up on.

Health and happiness for my family.

End of Covid - End of wars.
If only peace and harmony could prevail.

I read a sci-fi story once, about that very question
The guy said (and I m probably paraphrasing)
I wish that, with no change at all in me, to become the most wretched and unhappy person in the world.
I can't remember if it was a genie or the devil offering the wish, but he couldn't cope with the ultimate unselfish wish
