I'd rather use positive thinking rather than wishful thinking...
but maybe they're one and the same?

I wish you knew the answer to that.....

I do know the answer to that, I just wanted to see what Tony thought...

I spose being crafty is an art like an art.....

but does it relate to a wish?

Crafty or crafty?
They could both be arts in a way,
but I don't see either being related to a wish

obsessed said:

I think it's in the wording.

And in my opinion you can't compare the two.
Positive thinking requires continuous thought.
It can help to make an immediate wish come faster.
A wish is something you think,..then let go of.
And when someone says ,"that's wishful thinking",it usually comes across as negative.

My nephew(he was 6) once asked me,"what's the difference between a wish and a prayer"?.
I asked him, what he thought.
His reply.
"I pray, if I really need something".

Good explanation....however, I have to give some thought to whether
positive thinking actually makes a wish come faster...or if indeed
positive thinking is even always related to a wish.

Children...I love the fact that they can come up with answers so quickly
and get right to the point Adults tend to overthink sometimes.

obsessed said:

That's a very interesting point.

did someone say point.....

I wish obsessed had your nephews phone number.....

Dont make me pray for it...

PointlesspinS said:

wishes ago


Where are the pebbles you promised to throw,
at my sheltered
sleeping window
to wish me goodmorning?
Instead it's good mourning
for you didn't show.

Dreams of dreams of truth filled my night
and filling my nocturned sight
were visions of you
as you threw
pebbles to say it's all right.

I lay waiting in bed
still as the dead,
listening for strains
of pebbles on panes
but hearing your silence instead.

Hearing no tinkles of pebbles upon
the window,and dawn
being long past
I got up at last
and looked at the lawn.

Dandelions spattered and spangled the ground
spots of yellow all around
the field of unworried green
I asked if they'd seen you,
and they answered without sound.

There was nothing else to do,
but wipe away a tear or two.
I pushed my troubles away
having nothing to say.
And no one to say it to.

I swallowed my sighs,shouldered my cares.
I went down the stairs,
I passed in the hall
And that was all.

have you got a coffee grinder....?

free da chicken bones free da chicken bones.....

I just been thinkin' how many chickens you must have eaten
to collect all those wishbones....are most of them in the jar
whole bones, or have some of them been wished upon?

PointlesspinS said:

Yes

not just chicken..the collection includes game hens, a duck,pheasent etc.

I was thinking the same thing... its ruthless imagery
I live on honey jam birdseed and peanut butter

obsessed said:

The collection (est.1977-1991),is privately owned by a friend who is now vegetarian.

none have been wished upon..
