    First, get out of Florida! Then, decide where to live and start a dog rescue and doggie day care place. Then, go to Tiffanys in New York and really have some fun!
    I'd help out my family with things they would want and throw a big party in the Bahamas for the people at work.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Oh my gosh how fun would that be. Well lets see. I would set up trust funds for the kids. They wouldn't be able to get the money till they are 50.
    I would buy homes in England, Seattle, Australia and Switzerland. Would live in Switzerland six months out of the year to get the tax benifit
    Build a huge no kill shelter. Give tons of money to animal shelters.
    Have some plastic surgery.
    Travel between my homes.
    And build a childrens hospital.
    Oh I would also pay for birth control for low income people.

    Well, facing already the third heatwave of the year and a lot of humidity, I just realized that I forgot to add something to my list:

    Air condition for my flat!!

    I would save most of it so I could be pathetically lazy for the rest of my life.

    I would buy a wonderful, new house on lots and lots of land somewhere warm, and move my parents there as well.

    I would buy some ridiculously impractical cars.

    I would spoil my children.

    I would help worthy charities.

    I always giggle when people say they'd keep working! The absolute first thing I would do is email in my resignation letter and hire someone to clean out my office(and I actually like my job).

    I'd invest enough that I could live off the interest and not worry about a "real" job ever again.

    I'd buy a couple hundred acres of land in the middle of nowhere with my critters and I'd have kennel help! Custom build a house and kennel. I'd do sled dog rescue on a larger scale.

    I hate to travel so I'd be staying close to home, but I'd bring my family up here regularly. I'd help my family if they needed it. I'd make sure my neices can all get PhD degrees without student loans if they so desire.

    I'd kayak in the best boats money can buy! I'd melt all sorts of glass into all sorts of beads(dream home would include a seperate glass studio building). I'd ski and hike and bike......I could find all sorts of ways to occupy myself if I didn't have to work to pay for it all!

    I love this!!!! Mind if I shadow you (just in case I win a lottery, that is)

    Bet you'd have a lot of PT's applying for this position!!

    Hmmmm I better win some kind of lottery so I can afford to buy more of your stuff!

    Tamara, your formula sure works for me - did you buy your ticket today??
