What is your "Dream"?

**moosmom** · 04-25-2004, 07:38 PM

Catnapper,

To have a world that doesn't discriminate for weight. I'm heavy and I hate that people think less of me for it (but thats a whole other thread) I want people to see that you are the same person, thick or thin. Its my biggest issue in my life... and know what? I'm far healthier than a lot of skinny people!

AMEN TO THAT!!! I am also "full figured". I am tired of emphasis being put on being thin. I am a great person, full of life, who is happy in my body. Being thin will not change me. If people don't like me for WHO I am, then the hell with them!!

I once was involved with a guy who told me, "I'll buy you an engagement ring if you lose weight."

That was the last of him!!!

To have a world that doesn't discriminate for weight

Can I change that dream, to a world where "larger framed woman" are in style.

My dream is to have a log cabin, with lots of windows looking out onto the mountains, and a river below me. Lots of land, for my zoo, husband by my side and friends, that I can count on, through bad times as well as good times. All my bills paid off, of course. And the time to visit the world. Also if I can, I'd like to have a white tiger as a pet, but I guess thats asking for to much.

But if nothing else, just to be happy.

Fox-Gal, that sounds like a winner of a dream. May I use your dream? LOL!

Ok I'll share it with you, but only you. If everyone has my dream, then knowing me, I'll want something different.

LOL

Fox-Gal, just got to say it again, I am so happy to have you back here. Feels really good seeing you posting again.

I just had to get off the subject to say that. Okay everybody go back to dreaming!

I want to add that another dream of mine is to become knowledgeable and experienced enough that I could consider owning venomous snakes, even though I may not follow through with it when I know enough about them.

I want to have a "dog mall" It would include a vet with low cost spay/neuter and vaccinations, a rescue shetler, a food store, a bakery, an art store (with Amy as our featured artist?) a groomer, a dayschool, training, etc., etc., etc. Behind the mall, would be a huge dog park with a pond. The resuce dog would have access to it at times to help socailize them and so they would not be kenneled all the time.

Anyone want to sponser me to buy about 10 or 15 acres?

I love your dream, Amy! I wish I could go in on it with you. If it ever happens me and the girls will be visiting you for a day or two to check out the new digs! I think this sounds awesome!

Oh, Catnapper, I am with ya on this one. I wish people would judge us for who we are and not how we look. I can remember walking around the Ohio State campus with my son who was maybe 10 years old. We were there for one of his big swimming events. Anyway..we were walking back to our car and of course there was a group of college boys across the street and they made mooing noises and nasty remarks the whole way. My son held on to my hand and said he wished he was big enough to go beat them up. I told him no good would come from that. When I finally got to my car and we started down the road I burst into tears. Brandon patted me on the arm and said to not worry about it that they were just stupid people. Smart little boy he was. I'm use to it and I'm aware that I have put myself in that position, but for them to do that when my little boy was with me just humiliated me even more. Hmmm...I think you are right...this should be in another thread.

Wow. I had no idea my dream was so popular! Perhaps if enough people dream it together then it just might come true!

Ok, everyone hold hands and be happy in who they are!

well my "real" dream (hopefully this will happen) is to become a vet and move out to the country somewhere where i can have my horses and rescued great danes on my huge farm, and be one of those vets who really knows all her patients and costomers. you know, like in the small town where everyone knows each other. that would be so coolz

My -oh-wouldn't-it-be-cool-if-this-happened-but-i-know-it-never-will dream is to be abandoned on a island somewhere all be myself, like the swiss family robinson or robinson crusoe. i always thought that would be so cool

My dream is to get my PsyD then move out of this God Forsaken area of New York, get a stable and have some horses as well as adopt some rescued horses

TO GET A YELLOW LAB! (AND THEN A HORSE!)

Future-wise:To be happily married to the man of my dreams and live on a small farm either in western Wisconsin, Kentucky, Missouri, or Tennessee, and have a couple of horses, mules, goats, couple of rats, and Labrador Retrievers (maybe a Boxer and Dane too!). Then slowly open up an equine rescue if I had the time, money, and space.

Simple and do-able!
