   Oh no!  She did, didn't she.  :)   
      
   I was just thinking that what I would wish for, if I actually thought of it   
   instead of berating myself later for not making the wish... isn't something   
   that I'd ever actually tell anyone because other people and their privacy is   
   involved.   
      
   It's sort of like Inego Montoya... offered the world he says... "I want my   
   father back."  Well, sure, bringing someone back from the dead is against the   
   rules, but there are bunches of other personal wishes that a person wouldn't   
   just go telling someone..   
   . reconciliations in families... cures for alcoholism... that your abusive   
   some-one-or-other would just magically... stop.  That someone you love with a   
   destructive self-image and behavior would not be bugged in the head any more.    
   And then there are the    
   wishes because you love someone that *someone* is sure to interpret as not   
   accepting, or being judgmental of them... so no one is going to say those out   
   loud.
