Posted on 10/09/08, 07:12 pm

I really hope I wouldnt change, I would buy a few new things, but there is nothing I really want at this time.....Oh everyday is a struggle, but thats what made me who I am.....so I would make sure the kids were taken care of, and everything was paid for in advance for them to start....and take care of my hunny's parents, and my big family...wow..it would be gone...but i'm not one that wishes for huge amounts of money.....some would be nice, but then i'd be happy.
what would you do if you won the lottery....we all joke..yeah if i only won.....but then what?

  I would employ a bunch of scientists..pay them big money...lock them in the best laboratory and they would have to come up with something!! lol And in the meantime I would buy meds for everyone, so no one would have to go through the bureaucracy and get meds even if they don't fulfill requirements given by insurance companies...

  First, I would pay off my mortgage, the new truck, the credit card... I would buy my Mom's house from her ONLY IF she agreed to kick my nephew out and move to Ohio with me where she would no longer get ripped off by my sistour and her good-for-nothing son... I would buy myself a used Chevy S10 or similar small truck--no bells or whistles, just good basic transportation with air conditioning which I would only use when it is very hot...
  
  I would take PaPoo to the Vet without financial constraints. Xray my baby and get her it top shape so I don't have to keep guessing my giving her antibiotics.
  
  I would buy REAL gifts for all of my friends, and I'd go to the thrift store and really stock my wardrobe! Oh, my! New underwear from the Wal! I'd fill my freezer with foods that can be prepared many ways (and I'm not talking steaks... maybe a few, but chicken breast and fish would be my choice...).
  
  I would buy yards and yards of fabric so that I can just sew to my heart's content... Ok, anything else???

  after setting up my childrens future i would buy a huge piece of land some place cool, and put cabins up, and make them all handicap friendly. then i would open a m.s. retreat. where people with m.s. could go to get pampered and understood! there would be some of us from here who would be permanate residence! there would be a huge garden with hunky gardeners to do all the hard work ! there would be a huge pet rescue sanctuary where we could all give the unwanted pets the love and care they deserve!
  oh and i would have a hunky butler who couldn't speak and had huge hands!!!
