    I would move to a Country where there is no oil.

    Wondergirl- I live in a hamlet around 5 km from Edmonton called Sherwood Park, a 5-6 hour flight from Toronto. Who knows, maybe I'll make a trip to Chicago one day with the hubby and kids, can I bring my fur babies?

    Gernald- Your German is great. I love Germany, I would go visit more often if it wasn't so expensive, but a family of 4 can cost quite a bit, especially because I'd have to rent a car etc. I love living in Canada however and I wouldn't leave, unless I can get my own island somewhere near Hawaii.

    What, no black gold, no Texas tea? How about the Oilers, got to love them.

    Texas Tea... LoL, nope not even the oilers would keep me here. I would sell all, and move to the last place America would think to look for oil. :-)

    Funny, I'd move to the last place anyone would ever look for me.;) Oil wouldn't be a bad thing to have on my island in Hawaii, the money might run out some day and I'll have to find a way to make a buck. I don't think weaving grass skirts is in my future.:p

    Well, I don't know about all of you but I'm stuck in Canada for awhile. Love it here, I just wish the darn snow would melt already, I want to see my lawn, even if it will be brown. I can't wait to bring out the sprinkler and wear my shorts.

    Ooooooh along with my original comment. I would also like to buy a lifetime supply of Chowards scented gum. That stuff is addicting.

    Gum? Hmmm, how expensive is this gum that you would have to win 5 million? What's in this gum? Can you buy it over the counter?;)

    I'm sticking with the expensive chocolate. Which country makes the best chocolate, I might have to go to the source.

    Cool, I have relatives in Switzerland, I wonder if they'd mind me stopping by.

    Darnit, now I'm craving chocolate.:D

    They mind random strangers dropping in? LOL! :)

    Chocolate and coffee... my two vices... mmm...

    I'm not a stranger, they're my Uncle's widow and kids (although they're all my age or older so I guess they're not kids anymore). I was supposed to visit them last time I was in Germany, but it didn't work out, so I haven't actually seen them in 23 years. Of course I now have a husband and two kids so I think it might get a little crowded. Better call first.:)

    Ahhh coffee, that I have:) . Still craving the chocolate though.:(

    Lol I wouldn't buy a lifetime supply of gum if I wasn't rich. I'm pretty tight with my money. Lol.

    If I won, I would split it with my brother. First, I would pay off all my debt, then I would buy a newer car, go back to school, and buy an apt for my best friend. I would make sure my aunt never ended up in a nursing home, and I would go on a vacation with my ex boyfriend and my best friend. Oh... and I would send both of them back to school as well.

    Actually - I would probably have a heart attack and never get to spend a dime. :)

    I'll ask if they have room for one more. We could eat chocolate 24/7.
