Thanks hay,

Just sayin...... how does a person go from living in a house without running water, to having a financial adviser who arranges a $200k loan (for Vegas) BEFORE THE TICKET IS EVEN CASHED.

It should be illegal for anyone who cant legally VOTE to buy lottery tickets.

David Lee Edwards, Artist.

He lived in Kentucky and him and his wife wound up living in his storage unit at the end.

Here's a good article on him:

Wasn't there a Florida lottery winner that happened to? Can't think of his name.

I agree, living in a storage shed would be very uncomfortable.

Amen to that! I don't get the reasoning that thinks, geeeee I won the lottery, let's buy tons of drugs and get stoned and live in a storage shed.

When I worked in Vegas we had a guy on our crew who said that the working slobs are trying to figure out how to get jobs to make more money, but the wealtyh people, the ones who blew a lot of $$$$$$$$ in the casinos, they have the money and they're working on............ how to live longer, they want to 'keep it going' and keep enjoying the wealth.

A lot of truth in that. Odd thing though, a lot of them were miserable.

Happiness is much harder to attain if you're not healthy.

Hazrat Inayat Khan, the Indian mystic and teacher who brought Sufism to the West, said: The soul is happy by nature; the soul is happiness itself. It becomes unhappy when something is the matter with its vehicle, its instrument, its tool through which it experiences life. Care of the body, therefore, is the first and the most important principle of religion

Health is really wealth..no matter what. It doesn't count houses, cars, jewelries or gadgets. But it does count how long your life is.

I agree. I've met many a rich people in my time and good health is more important than wealth. If you have both then be grateful and share the wealth.

Amen. Quality of life is what's important. The ability to participate, run with reckless abandon, jump up and down with joy, keeping up with your

children and grandchildren. To do this we need to be lean, mean fit machines.

No other nation on earth has as many over weight, over eating, diabetes inflicted, sedentary members of our population. What other nation

One summer when I was in college, I worked for a multimillionaire in Radnor as his chauffeur, gardener, and handyman. One day, I was laying a flagstone path in his front yard. It was hot and steamy, and I was stripped to the waist. I had been working hard with pick and spade; my muscles bulged and gleamed.

I looked up and saw my employer sitting on his front steps, staring at me intensely. He was wizened and frail, tethered to an oxygen tank because of severe emphysema. He caught my glance an... [ More ]
