Yes, I forgot. A new vehicle. Our Jeep is a '94 with over 150,000. Sarah's car died a few months ago. We will wait until spring to see if it's worth fixing. That has been a great little car. She bought it for $2300.00..put another 80,000 on it and invested in new tires and oil changes...not much more. I hate to see it go.

The news is starting to depress me. The Dems are showing that they are so very stupid, and their constant anti-war yarping is growing tiresome, so I'm going to check out and go work out. I just pray that congress will grow a pair and stand up for our President.

I always told my husband that winning that much money can be a curse. First of all, you have to appear in public to claim it so everyone knows you have won it. Then you are subject to harassment, kidnapping threats, scams, etc. It could be quite dangerous.

Secondly, that much money requires a lot of responsibility. You would have to hire advisers and accountants and such in order to use it responsibly.

I always though that I would establish some foundations for helping people with scholarships and such. I would encourage those kids who maybe are from average backgrounds with avaerage grades, and also donate to the Church, the local library (I get to pick the books, not that lefty librarian), schools, etc.

But it would be very frightening to suddenly have that much money, I think.
