    Well, after taxes there might be enough left for a six pack of beer.

    I think I would hold another barbie, normally between 60 and 70 present. Then I would give each person present a 1000 each. I think it would be great to see so many people so cheered up all at the same time.

    I always played the lottery when I was a witness. I couldn't see the harm of spending a dollar. Same price as a fountain drink but with a little more excitement involved. I told an elder I was doing it and that he should look at it as my white trash retirement plan.

    I think I would buy a new motorhome and go to every apostofest in the USA and Canada. I would bring a keg to each event and a digital camera so I could download the pictures here and you all could see them. Then I would buy a small yacht and hire someone to captain it ( I would park my motorhome at Banshees in Florida) and take off sailing to the Caribbean and visit each island thoroughly. Then I would take off for the Hawaiian islands and go slum off of LB and his sweet wifey!!! (By then I will be outta mulah!)

    if I were a witness and won: I would pay off our house, invest, send our sons to tech school or college, buy new vehicles and help out an older sister who needs money.

    Now: I would pay off our house, invest, send our sons to tech school or college, buy new vehicles and help out two young moms who are DF and shunned by their families. ( and may still give help to the older ex sis.)

    "One MILLION dollars!"

    Well, there is no telling what I'd do if I was still a witness because I'm not, but back when I was I would have given a good chunk to the society I'm sure, and if I was still a witness it would just depend on how devout I am I suppose. No doubt a nice four door service car would be in the plans, if I am still going out in service.

    Now, I would just pay off bills and invest the rest, part of it in a massage therapy practice that is affordable and further my education in manual therapy, which would include getting work for my own structural imbalance.

    I would turn off my alarm clock and sleep in for the rest of my life.

    My dad use to watch a t.v. show called " FOLLOW the SUN ",do you remember it? A couple of folks on a huge sail boat or something like that following the sun around the world. I would like to try that for a while.Then because I like to read,I would have to include a huge library with soundproofing to enjoy those quiet moments to myself.

    I would be generous where the need was.Remember the t.v. show "The MILLIONAIRE " where Michael Anthony went around representation a rich recluse who gave away millions to people on the basis that they would not reveal where they got the money from.

    Well, that is a good policy to follow.I would not reveal that I came into a million dollars. Blueblades

    If I Had $1000000Words and Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson

    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you a house
    (I would buy you a house)
    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you furniture for your house
    (Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you a K-Car
    (a nice Reliant automobile)
    If I had $1000000 I'd buy your love.

    If I had $1000000
    I'd build a tree fort in our yard
    If I had $1000000
    You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
    If I had $1000000
    Maybe we could put a refrigerator in there
    Wouldn't that be fabulous

    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you a fur coat
    (but not a real fur coat that's cruel)
    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you an exotic pet
    (Like a llama or an emu)

    I'd buy you John Merrick's remains
    (All them crazy elephant bones)

    If I had $1000000
    We wouldn't have to walk to the store
    If I had $1000000
    We'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more.
    If I had $1000000
    We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
    But we would. We'd actually make the treefort from the
    first chorus out of it. Mmm.

    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you a green dress
    (but not a real green dress, that's cruel)
    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you some art
    (a Picasso or a Garfunkel)
    If I had $1000000
    (If I had $1000000)
    I'd buy you a monkey
    (haven't you always wanted a monkey?)

    If I had $1000000, If I had $1000000
    If I had $1000000, If I had $1000000
    I'd be rich.

    With 1 million dollars today, you don't even quit working. You need much more than a million(canadian) to stop working.

    At 2% interest, you only get 20,000 a year. Once income tax taken off, you are left with 14,000 canadian, and that makes 9,000 dollars american.

    With 9000$ american a year, I would go eat in a soup kitchen.
