A woman rubbed a bottle and out popped a Genie. The amazed woman asked if she actually got three wishes. The Genie said, "Nope, sorry, three-wish genies are a storybook myth. I'm a one-wish genie. So... what'll it be?"
The woman did not hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other and I want all the Arabs to love the Jews and Americans and vice-versa. It will bring peace and harmony.
The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be reasonable. These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm out of shape after being in a bottle for five hundred years. I'm good but not THAT good! I don't think it can be done. Make another wish and please be reasonable."
The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know -- one that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and help with the house cleaning, is great in bed, and gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time and is faithful. That's what I wish for... a good man."
The genie let out a big sigh and replied, "Let me see the friggin' map again..."
Thank you, Lori

Reading this blog from the beginning... and I had to reply to this, even though it's two years old.
I congratulate you on all you've achieved, Meg, even though I haven't read the whole blog so most of it is in 'the future' for me. Best of luck!
Any way, I just wanted to respond to the joke.
I found him first! He's mine! Hands off!
:P

Thank you Jean,
I thought about it a LOT and realized that everything I've ever REALLY acheived, I've acheived when I wasn't married. Why one Earth would I want to do that again?
I hope you enjoy the past...I think it just gets better!
Meg
