Ten million dollars? Well, I'd give away a million to friends and family. I'd put a million dollars each in two trust funds for my kids to pay for college, with the balance paid out under very specific conditions, such as graduating, getting married, etc. and would use to buy them each a house and give them a head start on their retirement. I'd invest 4 million and live off that, figure 4% per year or $ 160,000/ year. I'd use a million to build and furnish a dream house for my wife. Here in Upstate NY you could build a palace for that. I'd take a million and start up a brewpub, called the 'Old Lion' that made English Ales and serve food. I'd use the last million to pay off all my debts; mortgage, student loans, credit cards, etc. That would probably be $ 200k. My wife and I would spend the rest; a couple of new cars, nice vacation, etc.
Why blow my wad here when I could make threads about things I hate? I hate seeing a tack or nail on the ground so I'll pick it up. I won't immediately throw it in the garbage because I don't want it to rip my bag. I'll just stick it in my pocket. I also hate accidentally poking my finger on a tack or nail I put in my pocket.
on the standard dog odor scale where 6 is no smell at all and 24 is wet dog that just rolled in poop and a dead animal, i'd be fine doing any dog under 13.

This was hard to make. I like to think that I have a positive attitude and do many things whether I like them or not. 1. Jumping from very high places 2. Driving on ice 3. Watching UFC or any other similar activity that involves glamourized violence and blood 4. I hate yelling at children or getting on their case to get ready, dressed, get out the door, etc. 5. I hate getting stuck with "the women" sometimes when I'd rather be doing the activities "the men" are doing. 6. I really hate missing the fun - like when I'm sick with a fever and I can't make it to a party or when I have other obligations. Drives me crazy. 7. Doing the dishes without any dishgloves 8. Scrubbing the tub and shower down good. 9. I don't enjoy doing laundry, because it never ends. 10. Waiting for the bus (in the cold)
I always have to listen to really cool music while I'm cleaning the bathroom. That's the only way I ever get it done. Classical music works best for me. However, when I'm cleaning the rest of my apartment - I like very loud 1960s rock. Then the chores are almost fun to do. :rockon: Yeah, I wear my glasses when I'm at home, but I never bring them with me when I go out: I always end up losing them. So now I have this really cool small magnifying glass (fits in my shirt pocket) that I can use to check expiration dates on items at the store, plus it comes in handy when I'm searching for cool books and DVDs at the library. :sunny: QP
Do you also have to carry your bike up the stairs? (That's what I didn't like most about having a bike...) QP
I always read a reply 3 times before I post it. I must have a little bit of OCD going on (or something) I'm the exact opposite: I'd gladly empty the dishwasher (if I had one) for an entire week before I'd scrub a wretched toilet. QP
1. Getting out of bed because I HAVE to... not because I want to. Especially without good enough sleep 2. Going to work when certain unpleasant people are there 3. Getting car serviced/repaired 4. Listening to people being mean 5. Trying to interact with anti-social people 6. Doing work in any form for people who are rude/ungrateful 7. Cooking for people I dislike, or cooking without any sort of thanks for it 8. Being in the heat 9. Going anywhere in a hurry/flustered state 10. Say goodbye to people..
I did this all the time when I was still living in Chicago. You're right: it's no fun waiting for a bus during the winter. :freezing: QP
Yeah, this happens to me all the time, and I can't figure out why it's such a struggle for me to be more prepared in advance. I am forever a few minutes late for appointments and such. Plus I'm totally wiped out from all the worry and stress of trying to show up on time. :willy_nilly: QP
Yeah, I generally make sure that I arrive really quite early, so I can relax, take my time and what not. So even if I am like.. border line on time/late... I hate it...being really late (very rare) makes me flip out haha I need to to relax and take my time haha
