3/6/2007 mega millions

Darn it!! I didnt Win!!!:( :( :(

Sounds like someone won, but I'll still dream about what I'd do with that type of money.

Hubby and I already said we'd buy our parents nice houses with all the amenities an older person might need. We'd also set the kids up with a trust fund of sorts so they'd have homes when they were ready, and all expenses paid. Then we'd help our siblings in whatever way they'd need it. We ourselves would build a home out in the country with lots and lots of ground. I want a place to have more dogs so they can run free. I'll also build a cat sanctuary in the barn for all the feral cats that have to be relocated. There would also be a sanctuary for indoor kitties. Then I'd pay to have people come clean it out several times a day ;) and vets on call everyday, all day long :D

But mostly I would share the wealth with all my wonderful friends who have stood by me and loved me and supported me. I would also have a couple of lifts by a good plastic surgeon.

I'd build a shelter down the street from Marigold2's bunny shelter for homeless cats. (That way I could visit the bunnies every day!) I'd give monies for women's shelters and careers too. I'd make a trip to California to see if I could catch a glimpse of James Spader on the Boston Legal set :) I'd hire a veterinarian to look after the cats and Marigold2's bunnies.

There is a program (I think it's in New York) that takes retired race horses, places them on a farm and then uses prison inmates to care for them. Teaches the inmates work and inter-personal skills, the horses can go on to equine therapy programs if they are able or if not, they just live out their days on the farm affiliated with the prison. I'd give money to that so they could expand it.

And I'd buy a bigger (heavier) car, one that wouldn't feel like it was going to get blown off the highway on a very windy day.

I totally forgot! I'd get a golf cart for moving around big bags of cat food and cat box filler, hay, and bunny hutches. I'd have a pet garden with catnip and grass for the cats, and carrots for Marigold2's bunnies down the way.

A truck driver won 1/2 the pot. I was glad. They showed his kids & his Mom. He said he was going to share his wealth and go fishing.

Dreaming about winning the lottery is fun...sometimes I buy a ticket, just so I can think of how I would spend the money. I would pay off everyone in my family's debts- and my own. I would take everyone on a fun vacation, buy a large house in the country, and one in the city. I have also dreamed about opening a shelter, and would also like to set up scholarships so more kids go to college...and maybe a program to educate kids about how they can use federal aid to go to college. It seems like many do don't even know about FAFSA.

*Sigh* It's fun to dream anyway! :D
