Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Class act taking people out for dinner. I hope he does well with the winnings. Would get him a nice house with a rentable suite and a very small mortgage as they go, too.
I wonder if he's looking now.

Thankfully Charlie is too young to know how little $52k buys you today then it did when we were that age
But that's a great start to life.

Be smart with the money, but do enjoy the blessing you've been given and splurge a little bit here and there

The Daily Grand is $1,000 per/day until the winner dies.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Hey, this is a two year old post and no one responded to it until today?
I'll bet for the past two years waterbabe has been feeling dejected and unwanted, and finally QueenK acknowledges her.

Oh we talk to each other all the time. I was just looking for a different lottery thread when i spotted this one.
Meh. It worked. My point is that at one time 500K actually bought a nice house, now it's just a downpayment.
