Al: Quick, Bud, what's more important: money or love?

Bud: Well, money, Dad. You can always rent love.

[Xenalyte]

Okay, that's just damn funny.

I've been wondering how padded poor Robbie had to be for that, and how hot he got.

The party hardy lifestyle will make young folks look old in a short time.

That hard driving lifestyle is very hard on older people. Look at Joan Rivers and a host of others. See Anna Nicole for the "before" picture of a lush.

OTOH, it is flattering for an old man to have sweet young things jump all over him, even if they both know why she does it.

Most cannot handle wealth.

True. But is that human nature, or the human nature of those who constantly buy lotto tickets?

said Jerry Medley of Hurricane, "It just goes to show money can't always buy happiness."

No.

But it can rent it.

From an interview this summer:

Though he is eager to start filming the fourth Potter movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Coltrane is not looking forward to getting back into the makeup.

"My makeup girls have finally got a technique so it's much easier on all of us. They've divided Hagrid's beard into pieces so it's not just one big chunk. We discovered it doesn't move naturally when it's a single unit," he explains, adding, "It's still revolting having your face covered in glue. It's a horrible, horrible thing and the only downside of these wonderful Potter movies for me."

I heard a little radio piece on lottery winners years ago.

The NYS Lottery gives(gave?) a primer on how to start dealing with being lottery winner.

The one tip I remember is if you have trouble saying "no" to all the parasites foisting guilt, and the legitimate requests, btw, you set up a foundation and refer all requests to the foundation.

========================

I remember reading about what you should immediately do if you win the lotto:

1)Get a good attorney who'se also a CPA

2)Get a P.O. box

3)Get an unlisted phone number

4)Get out of town for 3 to 4 weeks.

I have been planning for great wealth for years. Haven't done much to create it, but if it happens the plans are in place.

LOL! Sound like my husband. He tells people he's starting on his 2nd million.... b/c his first million didn't work out.

If I had 1/10 his money, I'd never drive again; come to think of it, I don't drive now unless there's no one around to take me where I want to go.
