my mom, 69, can finally really retire from that parttime, bloodsucking job, then she gets bionic knees, a ranch condo and her truck is paid off, and she finally gets all the clothes she wants. she grew up during the depression, was the oldest daughter, had a lot of duties to her family, including quitting school at 14(!) to start working , so the younger boys could go to school.. she married my father, had 4 kids, 2 handicapped, and worked like a pack horse since then. she really deserves good times.
as for my job, well that much money would make those pesty annual reviews a lot easier wouldn't it?

and golden endings, the local golden rescue would get anything they could think of.....
