Been really bad over the last 2-4 weeks. Just had some blood work done and that's come back "normal" like it always does. I was just over in Bakers-patch today (took the truck and also bought some more guitar stuff). A friend of mine went down on the mountain a few weeks ago, and I was visited him in the hospital...broken/dislocated elbow and ankle, 4 broken ribs, punctured/bruised lung, ruptured/removed spleen. And then he had a secondary infection after the spleen removal and they had to go back in and remove a growth from his abdomen.

Not me, I've got it planned out already. 1) Set up retirement accounts for the kids, about $10,000 up front and let the interest accrue until they retire. 2) Smaller accounts for them to get started in life. Nothing elaborate just a safety net. 3) Pay off the house and all other debt. 4) New cars all around, well wife and me anyway. We dump all the limpers we have now, I get something for me with that night vision windshield, my night vision is fading, a pickup to haul stuff and whatever my wife wants. 5) The bulk of the cash goes into long term investments mostly safer lower yield plus a percentage goes into higher yield more risky things. 6) I pay my wife and myself weekly salaries as if we were still working, better than what we make now but still fixed with Cost of living increases yearly but it has to be less than the accumulated interest on the investments. My goal is to not need a paycheck from anyone else for the rest of my life. It is beyond me how people can win so much money, enough so that they could live off the principal the rest of thier lives and live quite confortably doing so and manage to piss it away in as little as 2 years and end up in debt to boot. There is a saying, "Money does not change you, it simply allows you to be the person you really are". I think there is a great deal of truth to that. If you are foolish or unable to manage your money it doesn't really matter how much you have. Off to buy my Powerball ticket for tonite, wish me luck!
