If you won the lottery what would you do?

Hi Everyone,

I'm just curious, if you won, let's say, 2 million dollars in the lottery, what would you do with the money?

I would buy 40 acres of land, build a house and start a No Kill animal shelter. This is my dream and I'm working on doing this even if I don't win the lottery, although it would happen a lot faster if I did.

I've taken stray animal all my adult life. The last one was abused. He won't let anyone touch him, but me. He really trusts me to the point of laying upside down, so that I can scratch his chest. He is a chow.

sadly, I go to starbucks WAYYY too much (about twice a day...) so all the baristas know me and my usual. not only do they know my usual, they know my different "usuals" for different days.

this is a typical scene:

I walk in.

Baristas: Hey Sneezy!
Me: Hi baristas.
Baristas: well, today's _____ (fill in day of week)...and it's ___ (fill in time of day), I'll get you your grande white mocha with 3 shots of espresso, no whip.

...I really need to take a step back and look at my life...

It is so nice to know that I'm not the only one!

Coffee really is the nectar of the Gods. Okay, it doesn't make complete sense but it sort of works. Hey, I'm on medication, and I'm drowsy, I don't need to make sense today.

We should start a thread about coffee. How often do you drink coffee, how many cups per day? Does Starbucks know you by name? Do you call ahead so that your order will be ready when you get there, do you need to call ahead or is your order always ready when you get there? If you were stuck on a deserted island and you could only take along two items of food which would continuously replenish itself but never change, would one of those foods be coffee, would the other be chocolate? If you look at the above question and don't understand why any of these habits would be considered strange, then you might have a coffee addiction.

Go to you nearest CA immediately (Coffees Anonymous) only they can help you. we provide Coffee @$1.00 a cup free refills. Join CA today. We'll never tell.

LOL! Yes, but sadly, it needs to appear in the Addictions forum, doesn't it??

That's bad...

Nectar of the gods... I like it!

A little wired, are we?

Altenweg · Feb 26, 2008, 01:02 PM

Yes I'm wired, otherwise I would be comatose.

Maybe we should start a coffee shop and chocolate shop when we win the millions.

EUREKA!!! What a concept!

Lets!

Altenweg · Feb 26, 2008, 01:08 PM

Could we incorporate a No-Kill shelter into that? Let me think.

Adopt a pet, get a free chocolate and coffee.

Or maybe the shelter between the coffee shop and chocolate shop. People would stop in on their way from one to the other. Don't ya think?
