1. First, that I would make enough money to pay off all the debts of my children; that I could live until I am 85 and be in perfect health; that we could fill up all the pews in my church.

2. I wish that I had never smoked a cigarette in my whole life. It's bad for you and it's killing a lot of people.

3. I would like to live in Florida for a while. I have two brothers who live down there, and they would never leave there.

4. My manners are that I speak before I think. I would rather listen more while people are talking. I feel that other people's manners are as good as mine.

1. For my family, I would like them to all live together and have long healthy lives. For myself, I want a new car and a million dollars. That's enough for me.

2. I would have stayed in college because I actually wanted to be a dental hygienist.

3. I would want to live in Florida. I've always wanted to live on the beach. Sarasota, because they have the whitest sand on the beaches.

4. I think I have very good manners. My mother taught me manners. A lot of people need to work on their manners. When they get angry, they are not thinking about what they're saying.

1. I would wish for a lot of money, a lot of shoes and a successful career in graphic design.

2. I wish I could have been a track athlete at SEMO, but I couldn't because of an injury.

3. I would like to live in Rochester, New York. I was born there and my parents moved a year later. I have family there.

4. I think my manners are pretty good. I think the manners of other people are varied. Specifically, I think my generation doesn't have very good manners.

1. I would certainly wish for something to be of benefit for my family and friends. For myself, I would like a new car. I would also like the opportunity to star or be in a movie or a TV show.

2. In college I would have had a little more fun, especially in my first couple of years. I was very straight-laced.

3. I would like to live in California for a while. The West Coast feel, have some time on the beach, lots of good areas and landmarks to see. I've never been there.

4. I try to be a well-mannered individual. I like to smile and be nice to everyone I meet. I travel a lot and most people I meet are very well-mannered and happy to be of assistance.
