every wed. and sat. my husband buys two lottery tickets
and every week, never fails, he gets in the car with his two tickets in hand, (one quick pick, and one with numbers that we picked) and says "boy would this be nice".
but would it really be nice?
of course money is good, and you need it to survive but there must be cons associated with it also.
its like fame.
i wouldnt want fame for all the money in the world.
people following you everywhere,
scrutinizing the way you live your life, raise your children.
"you're too fat"
"you're too skinny"
"dont let your kids play like that, they'll get hurt"
that would drive me crazy..
complete strangers telling you they love you or hate you..
how do you know who to trust?
people tell me i trust too easily, so i do not think i'd do well with fame.
i give them credit though.. the famous ones..
it must be hard.
ro says dont engage in the hate and the darkness
i wonder how long it took her to be able to do that.
and all the cruel words, do they really not hurt?
i think they do,
maybe with fame comes a sort of numbness to it all
what i would give to sit down and have lunch with ro
to discuss all this and more.
a smart woman said yesterday
"be careful what you wish for"
(not directly to me, just in general)
and i believe that is true,
i do not wish to win the lottery
and i kind of cringe when my husband does..
xoxo..
here's a RO clip for the day..

You are right on the mark, Jill ... if fame and money become a threat to the loves of your life, instead of supporting them, to heck with it. Have thought if I ever won a big lottery, I'd have to immediately give away most of it, so that I'd only have a safety net left. Balance in everything, I say.
I do not play the lottery
simply because I have watched my parents do it since childhood
and it's turned me into a lottery pessimist.
Especially now when I've watched my father buy ticket after ticket
at $20 a pop
Ya might as well flush your money down the toilet IMO.
In that case there's at least a chance of a floater
or a cling to the side.
