Well it's warming up and I have been out and then I have come back to read for a tad.
Seems that many are writing regarding winter and snow or with regards to the economy. So before I arrived home I went and got somethings and then I bought a lottery ticket and it's 9 million for tonight and we are not taxed with the lotteries - I don't place much weight into buying lottery tickets. In fact I don't know the last time I have. But the lady in front of my at the counter was taking over 15 minutes to buy all these tickets - so afterwards I figured maybe this is something that is happening by coincidence...hmmm.
We shall see but on a Saturday, it's a great day and I certainly enjoyed it.
Thinking about if I had 9 million dollars and what I would do with it...but not thriving on it. Some do! I could not believe how many people were buying not just one type of lottery ticket but all sorts of scratch and win cards and I was not in a casino, I was in a confectionary.
Money...
Damn! I forgot to buy lottery tickets today!
ReplyDelete9 millions dollar.... much more worries than before:))))))
ReplyDeleteSmiling with you.
ReplyDeleteNo more worries just concerns - I think that may be what it would be. I am going to see if my numbers happened and if I have won. Nothing would change, I would put it away in saving and keep 5 % for my self and go for a long I mean long trip to some place warm and maybe enjoy a few more things. Yeah....I think so.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually unimaginable for me. I'd probably have a heart attack and die. Did you read the news where this lady won 10M the day after her husband died. Apparently, there is a cost....... I'd buy each of my kids a new home and.......retire.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice out today, wasn't it. -6C here. I came out of shopping and there had been an avalanche on the van window. The snow was sliding off the roof. *L*
Yes your south of me and it was nice here as well. I would not retire...I would do something that I wished to do without the concerns of anything other than doing what is up most of interest to me. But I would not touch it but you know what - it's all a state of mind really on how rich we are as with it or without, just think as if you were a millionaire - why not?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't just retire and sit around doing nothing, to be sure. I would just refuse to work for someone else anymore.........
ReplyDeleteA person that stops leads no life....
ReplyDeleteEvery mile seems like two when the sidewalks are not cleared. You don't get much exercise when out for a walk if you have to just inch along on the icy walks. It takes as long to get ready to go out in the cold as it does to get to the end of the Park on my walk. I forgot to get a lottery ticket on my way home when passing the little gas station so am out of luck as I am not putting all those clothes on again to go out in the cold again. I am even thinking about skipping church tomorrow. Have a peaceful weekend. It is snowing those lovely big fat flakes right now and they will build up overnight. Winter has its own beauty and I like to hibernate and meditate.
ReplyDeleteSat. Jan 10, 2009 1 6 9 10 22 34 < well not the right numbers. I did not win but I gain....each and every day...
ReplyDeleteSure there are those times in which one does wish they had more but I feel that all is well an with a coffee at hand I have a roof over my head and that is good enough for me.

ReplyDeleteI pulled off to the side and walked in a foot and a half of snow to get to this monument. I had seen it for the last several days. But before it was much too cold > http://initiativestain.multiply.com/photos/album/89/The_Bessborough#2
ReplyDeleteI gambled twice. Lost $200 the first time, and $10 the second. Won $1 the second time. Just doesn't seem worth it!
ReplyDeleteHope your Sunday's going well! Leaving the comment here, because you have no guest book visible.
Thank you I have set this up in a manner that I wished to as I am not online all the time and I would rather have it that way. But with regards to gambling, I have never in my entire life but I in waiting while I was buying a few things there was as mentioned a lady that was buying literally so many tickets and the other things that I have never done before - so I thought to myself why not as there was a line up of 5 people and as I was leaving it seemed that everyone then bought a ticket. I have never believed in luck, but in chance. ~ Why not ~ A great week ahead to you.
ReplyDeleteG'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteI think buying a lottery ticket is just a deed of faith in so much as we don't really expect to win, but knowing that we could, is the fun of it, I personally would hate to win the big prize, we all say we wouldn't let it change us, but the fact that we could go out & buy a boat or a top range car, a home for the kids etc, they are all forms of change & the fact that we would do them contradicts our original statement
I buy lottery tickets once in a great while. It's kind of fun.
ReplyDeleteThe most I've ever won was $2,000 several years ago. Aside from that, I've won small amounts from $2 to $50 from time to time. I'm not addicted, that's for sure. lol
That is better than myself as I much like you have never bought a lottery ticket but when I wrote this I did on that Saturday...
ReplyDeleteI've never bought a lottery ticket in my life, but i think it would be nice to buy once in a while just in case one gets lucky.
ReplyDeleteWish you all the best!
