We're in the Money

You know the Reader's Digest Million Dollar Sweepstakes is coming up...maybe it is more than a Million Dollars by now...but we all get
the envelopes with all the
little "hints" that tell us that WE are going to be the big winners.
They always send envelopes telling you that you should complete the enclosed documents and stick all the stamps inside for the color of the car you have chosen and what mansion you want to live in and where in the world you want to take your cruise..... and
if you do send back the first envelope, then you continue to get
the advertising for months.
And if you are really one of the lucky ones, with the right initials,
living in the right neighborhood, you might get tagged....which means, they have already contacted the TV stations, the florist nearest your house is on alert and the balloons have been ordered.
All you to do is to follow the instructions on the next envelope.!!!
It is so simple...just keep sending in those envelopes with all your desires and wishes and maybe
you will be the lucky one....the WINNER!!
then what?????
so, here's the big question....
Now think about this very carefully.......
What would you do with a huge amount of money if you won a sweepstakes, or a contest or somehow won at Las Vegas and had so much money you didn't know what to do with it...
WHAT WOULD YOU DO??
I think I would plan a big vacation cruise or two. One would be to Alaska because we have wanted to go
there for quite some time.
And then I would like to take a cruise to Europe and visit some special places like Greece, Ireland, Scotland, Italy and some others.
And then, we would put most of the rest of the money in our
financial account and hope that it makes some decent profit so we both could retire.
We have talked about moving from time to time but right now, we can't afford it. However, if we had more money - then maybe we could think more seriously about Hurricane or Kanab, Utah.
Zion National Park is not very far from Kanab, Utah.
So that is still a dream of ours, maybe someday we will make up our minds if we want to take a chance and move away.
NOW BACK TO OUR PREVIOUSLY RECORDED PROGRAMING.

Thirteen Rules of Life:
1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
2. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should,
use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship "I apologize"
and "You are right."
4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
5. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to
eat crow while it's still warm.
6. The only really good advice that your mother ever gave you was, "Go!
You might meet somebody!"
7. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her- believe them.
8. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, 'Will this matter one year from now?
How about one month? One week? One day?'
9. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
10. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
11. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because
of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person
was right about you.
12. Work is good, but it's not that important.
13. And finally... Be really nice to your friends and family. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.
@@@@@@
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses.
He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard.
Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"
HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
