So you've won, say, 35 million dollars, or say 20 million pounds. What
would you do with it? Besides open several branches of the EAC, of
course?

Me? I really don't know. I suppose I'd distribute some of it around
the family, take a long and expensive holiday, probably China (though
I'd love to see that city in Syria .. what's it called ... ah, Jordan,
the city of Petra. After that? Dunno, though I feel several well
funded and amusing hoaxes might develop.... Something along the lines
of "The Society for the Realisation of Urban Legends" might do it...

And you?

I would..pay the parent's bills, the kids bills...and if there was

left I would buy myself a victorian next to a small but good college, set
all the rest of the money up as an endowment and be the lady everybody

to humor if they want money for their particular department.

Humored in what way exactly?

I'd be a terror to the teachers, a comfort to the students, wear neon
purple and be told I look FABULOUS. ;-)

MMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Don't you just love suck-ups? :))))))))))))))))

Let's see. Well after buy a new house, new cars, a horse for myself and

pony for the witchling, I'd pay off the mortgages of all my SILs and

family members, as well as set up college education funds for their
children. After that, I'm not sure ;)

Are you going to sit the horse on the back of your broomstick, or is their
some sort of horse box you can get?

And you?

My daughter just bought the prettiest 16 acres in Ohio. I would pay
off her mortgage, and then look for the second prettiest piece of land
for myself. I would hire people to do the lawn, shop for groceries,
and do the dusting and vacuuming. Then, I would putter. I very good
at puttering. I would walk in the woods and climb trees and lie in
the grass. I would build things and paint things and redecorate, and
then I would do it again. I would make each day an experience and
then wake up and do it again. I would read and play musical
instruments badly. I would keep two cats -- a calico and a grey
tiger. I would buy an art gallery and stock all my favorite artists
and cry when a customer would buy a piece. I would endow a college
scholarship for atheist women. I would fund research into the cure
for Charcot-Marie-Tooth. I would commit random acts of kindness
using the name of Überwench and I would laugh everyday.

Makes me want to donate to the 'Money for Liz' fund.
Ah! I'm over it now. But it was a nice feeling for a minute.

I was going to make my own list but yours sounds so good....

If I won the money I'd give it to liz!
8-)

Well... Maybe not - but I liked your list the best.
(Had to look up Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome though)

If I *didn't* give it all to Liz - I'd pay off my mortgage - and
probably buy a beach house and maybe an apartment in Melbourne, pay
off my Brothers mortgage (and his legal fees in his nasty divorce from
his horrific ex) , make sure my parents have the best of care, put a
(modest) heap aside for my son for when he turns 21 (and following
someone else's suggestion about knowing the value of money) another
bigger heap for when he turns 35.
See the world - including visiting my friends in the USA - Seattle and
Boston - like I am always promising to do...

Give money to Heart foundation, Kidney foundation, Fred Hollows
Foundation, WWF, and to societies working to protect the worlds great
apes (Orang Utang in particular).
The last one 'cause its important to take care of your close
relatives.

Would I quit my job?
Probably - but I would want to keep myself busy - maybe inventing
gadgets and gizmos. Maybe be a venture capatilist and invest in
australian inovation - other peoples gadgets and gizmos.

Mark.
