I made a mistake of getting a new car when I was 17. I began to pay the note. I'm still not finished with it. Basically what I'm saying is I think I'd like to experience the feeling of being free man. Without a car note, without having to worry about paying full coverage insurance. That moment, that feeling....it gives me chills thinking about the day to come. maybe. I'll be sitting, waiting, wishing.
but maybe another feeling, the feeling of being complete, and at peace with life.

I would like to win the lottery. I would like nothing more than to buy my mom and dad a home that is all on one level. Both of them are not in good health and having everything on one level would be a huge help. Until then I will just keep dreaming.

[caveninit]

There is a cave that I would love to explore one day...it's called Lechuguilla Cave and it's in New Mexico. Currently,access to the cave is closed to the general public in order to protect it..it's pristine!

I would like to see my mom worry-free. She has had a great but challenging life. Despite her uncanny ability to survive, I don't think I've ever seen a day where she wasn't worrying about something. I have been unable to make this happen, and would love to see her relaxing without a care for a solid week. It would be a start.

[KSteven7]

I would like to experience the warmth of a fire, cuddled up with my family in a cabin anywhere in the Northeast. Enjoying old board games, and maybe a few new ones. With NO cell phones, computers or tweets interupting our thoughts..

[rpgman1]

My parents deserve at least a financial reward ($2,500) since they've been taking care of my brother and I since we were born. All the selfish things I have done and they still take care after all this time. Unfortunately, I can't provide them with any financial support at all due to no job and attending college on financial aid.

I still have a year left until graduation, but then I will enlist in the US Army since I know I can't find a job with my business degree. I won only one auction and it was $25. I was stripped of winning the Rolex watch due to "technical" issues on another PA site. My dreams and hopes are crushed because of that one auction cancelled. At least I didn't lose any money and they refunded me promptly. I'll be turning 30 next month and hope I can find a job to go after those wonderful items on PA sites.

I would like to defeat a powerbidder.

[bigman701]

I would love to play Pebble Beach Golf Links just one time.

[minner79]

I would love to be able to quit work for a year and travel with my kids doing mission work

You could consider the insurance field (it can't be outsourced to another nations) . Your degree can be in any field and some major carriers provide low cost loans to help you get started... Good luck after graduation.

Never thought about entering the insurance field. Don't they usually require people to have previous experience in the field? My degree will be in General Business, so I guess I can enter any field. Still I have to find a way to give financial support to my family since my father will retire in five years and my mother is on disability pay. It's hard enough for me to find a summer job in Georgia.

You are in a great area for CAT adjusters. You don't even have to finish your degree to work independently. I would be happy to give you more info but don't want to hijack this thread... I will send PAW an email with some information. CAT adjusters can make $100 grand during a major event (hurricane Katrina for example) in just a few months.

I would love to go to Disney World with my whole family.... ever since I was a kid I wanted to go, but never had the money And I would want my WHOLE family to go... even though sometimes they make me mad or sad I still love them I would L-O-V-E to spend the whole day at Disney World with them!!!!

[gront]

Retire on Mars.

There are a few things I would love to experience that I haven't gotten the chance to. It has been my dream to travel with my husband and little boy to Italy. Also, I would like to be able to pay my parents back for all the financial support they have given me growing up... putting me through college and helping in so many other aspects. Obviously winning the lottery is on my list just like everyone else's... I would buy a ton of bids and beat all the power bidders that I avoid now! Going back to Dominican Republic to do mission work would be fun too. There are a lot of other things I would like to experience for myself, but in my opinion, what you can do for others instead is much more important.

[wyldunknown]

I would love to experience just one day of total, complete peace of mind. Not one worry, not one ounce of guilt over something I didn't do or should have done. Not a single negative thought cruising through my brain. None of the "I forgot to...." right before I drift off to sleep. Any one have those perfect days? Or, is that asking the impossible?

[Duster]

I would love to travel the world by cruise ship.

[poopie326]

I would like to travel the world with my family and boyfriend,skydive off of an airplane, and visiting Disneyland from every part of the countries that have Disneyland.

[bidtildead]

I want to travel in outerspace, I want to circle the moon. I want to feel the rush of taking off in the space shuttle. Thats what I want. Oh and I also want to win one of these giveaways.

Two thumbs up, I totally agree with you .

On Italy:

Check out the new movie Letters to Juliet (opens May 14th, I saw a preview screening- don't watch the trailers!) very good cinematography of Italy, makes me want to go there too!

I would like to win a trip to the World Cup this upcoming summer or in the near future. That way I would get to both travel and see a major sporting event!

And...well of course I'd like to win this contest considering I N.E.V.E.R have any luck in these sort of things.

[wicked]

ok, this may sound silly, but...I'd love to experience standing in a shiny clean organized laundry room with a bright red frigidaire affinity washer and dryer set (ya know the ones, tall, frontloading style, way too expensive)!!!

I know, I know, sounds kinda pathetic, but if you saw my laundry area with the neverending massive pile of clothing from a family of 6, you'd understand! LOL!


or a million dollars, whichever comes first

[SpeedyFinger]

On of my favorite documentaries, Planet Earth, featured this cave in one of its videos. It was truly awesome, the Chandelier Room especially!

[Chocolate]

More than anything I want to see my son grow up educated and happy. I hope he falls in love one day. I would like to see all of this from my home, with a new westie, a paid off mortgage, and a poison ivy free yard.

More than anything I would like to spend a month in an exotic location (not so exotic I can die from a bug bite) with my husband.

[jperry6097]

I would really like a to have a happy marraige

[cckid]

It's been mentioned in a previous post, but here's my version:

I'd love to be able to take three of my friends to a world class golf course for a round of golf and drinks in the clubhouse afterwards.

[startover4]

I would love to take a backback full of survival gear and hike the whole length of the USA. This would include a small tent, sleeping bag, and way to cook food. This would be a great experience to me but it would take me months to do it and i would have to quit my job in order to do so . Ever since I was a kid this is what i wanted, maybe one day... i dont know...

[RFREEMAN007]

I would like to own a business that makes enough money so I can be a full time mommy. I have a perfect two year old daughter I do not get to spend enough time with.
