Go to any and all Coldplay concerts for the next 2 years (Ha. Big fan of theirs. )
Form some type of charity to help black South Africans obtain better housing, medical treatment, etc. (I've actually been able to see inside one of the houses these people live in, and I tell you, it's not a pretty site. Racism is still a HUGE problem there, so good jobs are pretty rare.)
Move out of the States to either Canada (Ah. Nice and bland.) or somewhere in Europe.
Form my own record label for all my aspiring musician buddies. (I've got plenty of them. ) _________________ ||Lex||Yoda||Sooker||

Right now my dreams are more down to earth:
1. Fund oldest son's private education (needs special schooling for learning disabilities - costs as much as university)
2. Fund library and art program at middle son's elementary school.
3. Put third son in some type of preschool program so mom can have a little time off.
4. Pay off house note and buy a NEW, not used car, and one for Hubby - a big, Texas size, gas guzzling pick up truck (we could afford the gas)
5. Fund the building for our church (got land, no building yet).
6. Hire a babysitter so hubby and I could actually go out to dinner and a movie (that is SO not in the budget right now!).
7. Spend 6 months deciding what types of scholarship programs and charity groups I'd like to help out and then devise long term plan to keep those organizations funded.
8. Hubby could retire and we could travel with the kids and even take the grandparents along.
9. Hire a nanny (hubby has strange idea he wants to try for a girl AGAIN - of course it's his fault we have all boys).
10. Time and supplies to pursue my dream of being an artist - any kind of work with my hands: silversmithing, stained glass, pottery.
I think that's enought to fill a lifetime. _________________ Yavanie

Nannies are wonderful creatures! I love mine, she is such an angel. Kids of course, love her too, thats important But the live-in kinds are the best, especially if she can travel with you!

This sounds really dumb, I would buy the Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball team. I love them...can't help it. I would pay someone else to do all of the money stuff, and I would just put together the best baseball team...and then just watch and strategize all day long...Ahhh, green grass, dirt, handsome men in tight pants. It really is the perfect dream.
I would never work for another dentist as long as I live.... |

LOL with as much debt as the US is in. They might sell you a small state or two. |

Oh, and my little house on the coast in Donegal, where I would write an amusing memoir about the fish-out-of water experiences of an American family living in Ireland.

Oh, yeah...Horses, lots of horses, at least one Big Friesian named Gothmog or Angmar or something similarly cool and dark...and an Andalusian named Asfaloth, and a Tennesee Walker named Bill

The British own much more than Japanese, not to mention the Isrealis, French and Germans, Canada is up there too.

Can i also buy New Zealand? I figure if I own the whole Island(s) then I stand a better chance of shagging STEVE. If nothing else, then I get to order PJ into making a tv series of the SILM! _________________ I am no longer posting on the Forums.

I like the whole island idea. But having been through a very small hurricane,(1986) I am hesitant to go that route. That and an unreasonable fear of natural water. (Watched a schoolmate drown when I was a child).
The Dude would opt for an isolated cabin in the mountains, but that would involve snow, which I have an aversion to if it covers the top of my sandals.
While the travel sounds great, there again, I have to deal with airplanes, and it takes copious amounts of alcohol to get me into a plane.
So, I guess I would give lots of money away for charity. Then I would set my kids up for life. And the nanachild. The Dudes family. And ignore the relatives that would not give us a hand when we needed it, because they are all too good for us.
Then I would build my own recording studio and record just me. (Hey, Enya does it!) Then give away the recordings, coz I do not need the money anyway. I would donate money to the church so they would buy a grand piano and I would not have to play that tacky Roland 'piano' anymore. (I do not care what the salesman said, electronic is NOT a real piano. Would Beethoven or Bach had played a Roland? I DO NOT think so. Maybe Padarewski).
And write novels. Fanfiction. And if no one thinks my original story is any good, I would buy a publishing house just to print my stuff. There. That should do it. _________________ The only opinions that count, are those of the ones in control.
