Not really haha. I don't play the lottery....I got everything I want
You know what I would do if I had a million dollars? I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities...

great man. GREAT man.
i think id buy ppcs, a couple cars, and maybe a BIG house
I'd travel with my friends and see the world, then I'd use the rest to make other people happy too. I'd have a lot of paintball, airsoft and real guns and a huge yard.
Also I'd have a midget. With a tuxedo.
i wd buy a PS3 a realllyy large TV and some nice games for ps3
I would donate half to my favorite charities, secure my kids education, pay off all my debt, buy my wife some nice clothes and jewelry, and have an investment firm manage the rest.........
Oh who am I kidding, I'll end up blowing it all on hookers and alcohol.
First, Pay off debts, put away more than enough for my children's education, buy a really nice large house on the lake, Boat, 1963 Corvette Stingray for myself and a four door jeep for myself for winter driving,and whatever vehicle my wife wants and do lots of travelling. I would also set up my parents and mother in law for a very comfortable retirement which I would insist should start immediately (they hate their jobs) I love my job, So I would continue working

you have a friend whose name is Asadulah?
if I win the lottery, I would invest half of it in convincing my mom to name my new-born brother Asadullah...
please don't ask me about the second half
i would do nothing and keep living like i was b4 i won. I'd put the winning away for a rainy day.
Keeping it simple, b/c the more complex your life is, the less happy you will be.
First of all, build my house on my beautifull land!
Then, do a looong travel with my wife to Asia
Help this communty with a laaarge donation
Buy me a new Land Rover, and the rest on some SECURE investment, maybe buying gold... as any currency seems to be secure on this days.
Pay off debts, get some cars, some clothes, some tech.
Put money away for college
Buy nice house
Buy nice car
Take out 1mil for personal spending
Leave rest for my future children and in case I ever want to invest in a booming company or buy stocks in coniditions such as this when they're dead just so they can rise later and be worth millions! lol

Hmm. As much as I would like to agree with you on that, and my mom and dad say the same thing if they won the lottery, I think that is soo untrue. Right now you are thinking it is impossible to win the lottery, that is why you say that. If you had actually won a 10mil lottery, I can guarantee you wouldn't be saying that. Even though I don't know you all too well, I don't believe ANYONE could do that. Just my personal opinion. Maybe you're those 1 in 10 million people who is able to just reject the urge to spend money when you have an abundance of it.
Pay for College lol and enough computers to get me threw the next few years lol with verizon boradband cards of course

SH*T!!! I would buy VZW just for aggrivating me, then sell it all to Sprint !
First I would pay off all of mine and my families debt. Then I would deposit it all in savings accounts. Then I would continue working for one year. Then I would live off of the interest it gained. This way I would never spend the money. And my children and grand-children...etc would never have to work. There would always be a secure income for them. I would also buy Life insurance to equal the amount, so that when I die, the money would double.
Yeah-Right!! I'D PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR!!
I would pay off my debt and invest in the company I work for. I would try to keep working because I honestly love my job!
I forgot i had 150 extra dollars in paypal that was left over from something i sold on ebay. Any ideas of something that i could get?

I would but i already have a smartphone.
Oh, well if you change your mind... I would get another phone
If i do get another phone it would be a g1 or touch pro 2 or something else better that cost the same
Try a phone that's not available here. Something European. If you go to www.Ebay.Co.Uk you can get some really good deals on UK phones. Even though the exchange rate isn't equal, they come out cheaper still. Try GSM hero, Hd Mini, tattoo, ect. Stuff along those lines are around your price range. If you want though, you can get a desire over their fot around $300-350. Much cheaper than in the US...
ha yeah thats true...how much is an hd2 over there
About the same as over here. It really only works with devices that weren't released over here. If your using Android, I would suggest a HD Mini. I really like the design of it and it's really cheap over there. But I would get a GSM Hero... Even though I like the Design of my nexus, I still prefer the Desire, Hero's, and Legends chins...

Forgot to mention one downside... Sometimes they won't ship the the US, but most of them do. You just need to ask otherwise you can't pay for the item. It wont let you go through with the checkout process.

Three guys go to a hotel. They each pay $10, and head off to their rooms. The hotel manager realises he has overcharged the men, and gives the bellboy $5 and tells him to return each guest his portion. On his way to the men's rooms, the bellboy realises he can't split the $5 three ways, so he pockets $2 and gives each man a dollar. So now each man has paid $9, 9x3=27, and the bellboy has $2 in his pocket. Where's the extra dollar?

Sent from my Frosty phone using the xda app
There is no extra dollar.
The three men paid $30 for a room.
The manager realized that the room only
ought to have cost them $25, so he sent
the bellhop back with $5 to be returned
to them.
Out of the original $30, here's where
it all went:
Kept by motel: $25
Stolen by bellboy: 2
Returned to men: 3
---
Total: $30
===
Another way of looking at it: The
three men ended up paying a total of
$9×3=$27. That's $25 for the room
plus the $2 stolen by the bellboy.
The question tries to trick you into
adding the $2 stolen by the bellhop to
the total of $27 that the three men end
up paying, for a total of $29, and then
wondering why it doesn't add up to the
original $30. But this is nonsense, as
the $27 already includes the stolen $2
($25 for the room plus the stolen $2
equals $27).
The $27 that the men ultimately end up
paying, plus the $3 that was returned
to them, adds up to the original $30. The
$25 that the men were supposed to pay
for the room, plus the $5 that the bellboy
was supposed to return to them, equals the
original $30.
The real question is:
What the **** is a bellboy?

This bold bit is incorrect. The riddle's question is a lie/false.
They have each paid a third of 28$, (30$ less the 2$ the bellboy stole) so 9.333...$ each

Sorry to throw some serious thought onto this thread, but why is it that in western countires we don't like to eat tongue, heart or anything which isn't simply a muscle?
It's quite possibly and most likely the way we are raised and fed. But as a general society? I'm not sure. It's actually more of a US thing than Western because I know in Mexico they eat stuff like that too.

I took the plunge a few years back and had a three piece suit custom tailored for me. It fits me like a glove, as I haven't expanded or contracted since high school.

I've got a tux for xmas work do's, and just bought a 3 piece suit for my wedding this saturday.
£72 from Jacomo with their 25% discount on first orders
i wear a suit everyday for work. I currently own 14 suits (seven summer / seven winter) so i can have two at the dry cleaners every week while rotating through five. Then I buy 2 new suits every 10 months and ditch the oldest. Even though i live in Philly, i have a tailor in NYC who makes them for me. The pricing all depends on materials selected and since i go through them so quickly, I generally get a medium grade. Custom suits are the way to go because a good tailor can hide some little weight changes.
Oh, i also own three tuxes. Not custom, just bought them off the rack but good names like Burberry, Hickey Freeman and Boss. Had them tailored as well...
I love suits! Most of my jobs i've had through the years requires me to wear a suit, so i don't really have a choice. But i love them so it's not a problem.
I wear them for work.
