    Someday I'd like to open my own Women's Coffee house.  I'd play some of
    the music, but I'd also bring in lots of different kinds of folk and
    women's musicians.  There'd be delicious coffees and teas and some lite
    snacks, but mostly women would come there to hear music and to be
    together.  It would be dark and cozy, but not smokey.  
    
    Maybe someday...
    
    Justine

    
    re: -.1
    
    ooooh Justine that sounds nice!  maybe you could add a little
    dance floor, for those of us who slow dance, and can't seem
    to find anywhere to do it!  :-)
    
    deb
    

    
    could you have a boy's night?

Justine!

Robin Aagesen and I share precisely the same dream!

Maybe the three of us ought to get together sometime.  =8-)

Carla

    I'd like to make love like crazy to every woman who would like too....
    Pascal

    Well Pascal, according to the on going current joke in the file
    the way to do that is to be terribly 'politically correct'
    
    BJ

    Rep 46.
    What do you mean correct ?
    What do you mean we won't play your silly game ?
    Is that such a bad dream that I have ?
    
    Pascal

    I'd like to learn to target shoot with a handgun.
    
    -Dotti

    re.48 > -<be a marksman/woman?>-
    
    Actually, Dotti, 'marksman' is beginning level - go for Expert 
    at least !
    
    Marksman
    Sharpshooter
    Expert
    Master

    Dana (who has watched Experts and Masters shoot - awesome!)

    in re .47
    
    'we won't play your silly game' is what the whales said to the
    interpreter....
    
    and if you don't know what 'correct' is or the point of the joke
    then read through the old notes in the file ...
    
    and as to your dream
    
    every has the right to dream as they wish..
    
    BJ

    re:  .49
    
    Hey Dana,
    
    I'd love to go for "EXPERT", but I'd just be happy to learn the basics. 
    Actually I'd like to find a club that offers shooting lessons...(if
    that's what you call it) then become "sharpshooter" - I like the sound
    of that one!! *;-)
    
    
    -Dotti
    

I'd like to ride my bike around Europe. Well at least the flat parts :-).

Jenna

    re .1 and .5, Earthwatch
    Go for it! My sister did an archaelogical dig in Carthage last summer
    (Tunisia) and loved it.
    
    What I'd like to do:
    -------------------
    Build a greenhouse and learn the right stuff about gardening
    Have more time for charity work
    Have at least one more child
    Open a second-hand clothing store for kids
    Golf 10 days straight and see how low my handicap gets
    Tour Wales, Ireland and northern England
    
    

    I'd like to be loved for me and in spite of me being overweight, or too
    rambunctious and all the crud.

    .53 - Hscott
    
    >>>    Golf 10 days straight and see how low my handicap gets
    
    Wouldn't change much, if at all.  But going to the range 10 days
    straight with your local PGA Pro would change it.
    
    -dwight

    re .55
    That's why it's _my_ wishlist.... I don't have time for both the
    driving range and the course, so if I have my druthers, it's to play 9
    or 18 holes,.... and then keep doing it one day after another! :-)
    
    
    I do get your point though.
    

    Live in a library and read all day 
    
    Ride steeplechase
    
    Speak Danish fluently
    
    Win megabucks and open a hospice with the $$$
    
    Publish a children's book that I've written and illustrated

re: <<< Note 284.54 by WECARE::KRISTY "Take off your kid gloves" >>>

    on a grey, thunderhead afternoon, when angst prevails and an
    unhealthy, battlesome ambience pervades, I long for the power 
    to close down the coffeehouse, invite in a friend or two, eat 
    all the muffins, drink a bottle of wine, and not allow anyone 
    to invade.
    
    that is what I want ... someday.

    I'm getting ready to move so last Sunday I bought 2 Sunday papers, one
    of which was the Middlesex News.  Just for fun, I took a look at their
    help wanted section and saw an ad titled "Room, With a View" and
    underneath that was a drawing of the Grand Canyon.
    
    I'd like to live and work at the Grand Canyon for a year.
    
    (The jobs are low-paying ($4.25-$5.10/hour) jobs working in the hotels,
    restaurants, and retail shops located on the South Rim.  You are
    provided "dorm style" accomodations within the park, for which $16/week
    is deducted from your paycheck.  Bonuses for work agreements longer
    than 3 months.)
    
    Sigh.
