Hope you get to feeling better; it's probably from all that splintering...or maybe lack OF - y'know, withdrawals.
My fav. TLCML segment was the "Motel Millionaire", Jim Gatzke - he's the one who had lost his folks a few yrs. before, was unemployed, picked up cans to cash in and as I recall, spent some of his very last money on a lottery ticket. He was living in his folk's old run-down house w/ no utilities when he won 5.5 million. The state didn't want to pay him at first, claiming he might be mentally incompetent. He was lucky enough to have a good friend who helped him get the money from the state and then protect his new-found fortune from those who would take advantage of him (he opted for the annuity and didn't take risks with his money, putting most of his yearly check into a savings acct. paying very little interest) Other than a few cars & trips, he hadn't bought anything extravagant. He lived in the motel f/ about $250/wk and ate out every day, always buying an extra steak for the stray cats which lived in a junkyard next to his pal's business. Out of all the winners on the show, I think I'd most like to see a follow-up on him; it's made me think that, sure, winning the lottery could make you happy, but it really doesn't take all that much to keep you happy. No money worries, a good friend who sincerely cares about you, eat out when you want, some cats...and you don't even have to make your bed. Sounds good to me.
