5. If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a monkey.

(Haven't you always wanted a monkey?)

:hi:

[Richardo]

8. I'd buy *you* a green dress...

..but not a real green dress, that's cruel.


:hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

10. I'd buy your love.

[Heidi]

12. If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you some art.

(A Picasso or a Garfunkel.)

:hug:

[NJmaverick]

13. A worker monkey or one that is just a pet?

:)

[Heidi]

16. Certainly, as a good progressive, I would prefer

that you not exploit this hypothetical monkey in any way. :P

[NJmaverick]

44. lol! good poing

free the worker monkeys!

[Ryano42]

35. DIJON KETCHUP!!!

:P

[suninvited]

3. Buy a modest little place in Gulf Shores AL

and retire there.

[NJmaverick]

14. That sounds like a nice plan

and would seem to fit in well with your weekend plans:hi:

[Heidi]

7. I'd pay for our goddaughter to study flamenco dance in Saville.

Among other things. :hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

9. Forks!

;)

[Richardo]

11. !!!

:spray:


:rofl:



:hi: :loveya:

[Fran Kubelik]

18. Love you too, Richardo!

Here's my cautionary statement though - in no way is this meant to be making fun of our dear Peggy. This is a reference to the flame war that erupted over the price of replacement FORKS of all things. Which I accidentally seem to have ended up on the wrong side of, or at least appeared to. I in no way mean to imply that Peggy shouldn't have spent the money, or that she didn't deserve it, or anything like that.
I just cannot believe we all fought about FORKS! :rofl:

[Richardo]

19. It did evolve into one of those nonsensical flamers didn't it?

I was also laughing at this post as a reaction in that thread, and certainly not to dear Peggy.

[Heidi]

23. LILSHOWSTOPPA says:

[surrealAmerican]

38. THAT turned into a flame war?

It was a pretty safe thread when last I saw it. Who one earth feels that strongly about the price of forks?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

36. Oh NO you di'hint!

[Deep13]

15. I'd buy Sweeitie a fur coat, but not a REAL fur coat. nt

[Heidi]

17. Yeah, that'd be cruel.

:hi:

[jeff30997]

21. But lets say that...

The coat have been made with the skin of minks that died from an epidemic ? Why waste that
so soft and fluffy fur? :P

Hello! How are you today ? :hi:

[Heidi]

22. Do NOT mess with Barenaked Ladies lyrics, young man!!!!

:spank:

I'm fine! Thanks for asking. Good morning, Jeff! :hi:

[jeff30997]

26. Barenaked Ladies lyrics ?

Are you serious ? I vaguely know the band but if I quoted a line
of one of their song I'm completely stunned!

[Heidi]

27. "If I Had A Million Dollars" is one of my favorite BnL songs!

Enjoy! :hi:

32. Me too!

I actually kind of like Kraft Dinner, though. ;)

[Heidi]

34. Stop it!!!!

You're gonna make me cry! :weep:

My mom tried to send us some Kraft Mac-n-Cheese in my holiday "care" package last winter, but Swiss Customs removed it from the package. When I told my mom, she goes, "What the hell? Don't they know there's no real cheese in Kraft Mac-n-Cheese????"

:rofl:

[jeff30997]

37. Ah,got it !

Well,to tell you the truth I find that totally disgusting.
When I was in my late teens one of my best friend's
father war trapping animals,mostly foxes and coyotes.
At one point I remember seeing a lot of fox skins in the barn
and a couple of days later my friend's mother had a
brand new fur coat.Fox of course.It made me literally
sick !

[Richardo]

20. A 1st class open-ended trip for two to France and Italy with an initial stop in Rio de Janeiro

:party:

[NJmaverick]

43. What do you do when the money runs out?

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

24. I would fly my family in the US over to see me

first class. The rest I'd invest in high interest investments and accounts and let it grow for a while.

[Heidi]

25. Where the heck are you,

if you don't mind me asking?

Good morning, theNotoriousP.I.G.! :hi:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

28. Hey you!

I'm down in Deutschland. We're in the same time zone, so happy afternoon to you Heidi :hi:

[Heidi]

30. Thank you!

We're not too far apart then, you and I. :)

:hug:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

31. Not too far,

more than a hop, skip and a jump but not that far. :hug:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

[NJmaverick]

41. Office Space! great movie

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. Build my house and retire from this job --

Make my place fully self sustaining and drop off the grid.

[NJmaverick]

42. Now that's a plan

:hi:

[surrealAmerican]

39. This is way too easy.

I'd put both kids through college ...


...without loans!

[NJmaverick]

46. I would like to think you would have some money left over

what would you do with that?

[Bunny]

40. I'd go to the Caribbean with my buddy, then spend some time on the Continent.

:fistbump:

[texanwitch]

45. Buy a new truck.

Pay off my bills.

Take a long road trip, drive anywhere I want.

[Inchworm]

49. Pay my student loan off so I could return to college.. then

I'd go piss on the front door of the Provost's door at the college who has stolen my degree -- after I made it public for days that I was going to do it.

Then I'd bail myself out of jail and go piss on.. hmm.. so many targets.

x(

[NJmaverick]

50. How did someone steal your degree?

[Inchworm]

51. hehe

They are holding my Associate's because I let loan go bad with divorce. Now.. even if I save up enough for a class, I can't go.

It's a long grueling story of twists and turns.

:)

[NJmaverick]

52. that really sucks

what happened to the old saying that they can't take accomplishments (like earning a degree) away from you?

[JTG of the PRB]

53. I'd quit my job and start writing full-time.

Maybe then I could finish something and maybe even get paid to do it.

[femmocrat]

54. Two things-- Don't even have to think about it.

1. Retire and move to NC.
2. Donate a bunch of money to animal shelters.

[NJmaverick]

55. Why NC?

[femmocrat]

58. My "dream house" is a beach house in NC.

We just love the beaches there. :hi:

[dana_b]

56. my sis and her family are losing their home

so they would get help first. Then help my brother to pay off his place. Send my daughter and I to college (back to college for myself) and set aside some for her future. I'd also want to pay off some bills and set aside some for a down payment for a future place. I've never owned my own home and can't see that happening in this lifetime. Last, but not least, either help out the local food shelters/kitchens or support a local chapter of Food Not Bombs.

[NJmaverick]

67. Those are some very selfless aspirations

good for you!:hi:

[dana_b]

72. well thanks but not really

what I mean is that when people you love are doing better, it makes you feel better too. What good is a lot of $$ if those around you are still struggling or even suffering?

[BarenakedLady]

57. Pay off the house

Get a full-time house boy/toy, send the kids to boarding school, install a wine cellar, and start the nips and tucks. Only some of that is true.

[NJmaverick]

68. lol! which parts are true? The boy/toy?

:evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

59. Buy DU?

:hide:

[NJmaverick]

65. ....

:scared:

[Q3JR4]

60. I'd buy you a k-car...

Q3JR4
A nice reliant automobile.

[jobycom]

61. I'd give it to the needy.

Fortunately I'm pretty needy.

[Kali]

62. pick up some of the nearby private land and leases and prevent

invasion by suburbs. Send the kids to school. Decent vehicle. House repairs/pool. Expect the land purchases would wipe it out, maybe I should change the order around a bit.

[NJmaverick]

74. That's a great idea, I wish I had the $$$

my suburbs are becoming too urban for my tastes

[GoddessOfGuinness]

63. Pay bills, fix up the house

Invest in green businesses and donate proceeds of the investment to worthy causes.

[NJmaverick]

69. That's really nice. What green business would you go into?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

70. I'd need to research, but I'm thinking

of alternative energy...solar or wind, or maybe both.

[NJmaverick]

71. That's a really nice business to get into

and it would be certainly satisfying to see all the solar panel and windmills being put up.

[carlyhippy]

64. 1 million after taxes? Imagine the possibilities....

I would pay off my bills, buy new vehicle hybrids for all of us, pay off kids' student loans and put enough in savings to take care of all their college tuitions, what is left put in the bank.....

[hobbit709]

66. Pay off the $12K we still owe on the house

Buy two new vehicles. Take Donna to see my hometown and where I was born-Vienna and the mountains outside of Salzburg. Do something with the rest.

[dana_b]

73. I love Vienna and Salzburg!

my old friend lived in Vienna and we drove from there to Salzburg and stopped at a lot of little towns on the way. I remember this one little town where, at this church, the skulls of the people who were buried there were dug up and painted. Very extrordinary. Then there was this beautiful, peaceful town on a lake - (Halstat??), Wolfgangsee, and other gorgeous lakes. It was snowing in some parts too so that made it more incredible. I wish I could go back some day.
