I would be tempted to buy my daughter's school or maybe better yet start an even better one for her right here so she didn't have to travel so far.  Also, I would probably hire a housekeeper.

He he, but would the housekeeper be able to keep up with your high standards of cleanliness! :)

 :laundry:

Maybe you could be the Director of a housecleaning business and use the money to fund your daughters school!

I actually watched a show on forensic housecleaners not too long ago...awful job, but they make a mint. They go into homes after crime scenes or cases where someone has died and the house needs to be completely sanitised.

I'm not to keen on scraping up brain matter though, so it's a business opportunity I won't be pursuing.

A very private one.  I would have lots of land and workshops for my tinkering and experiments but few if any employees.  Few would know I had money.  I don't think I would act that much different than I do now except for being able to get what ever I wanted  

Me too.  ;)

I don't think I would be either.

I think I am pretty good about letting someone else do things their own way.  I have taught my daughter to do some things and I try very hard to resist the temptation of going in behind her and redoing anything she does.  My mom told me about my dad's mother doing that to her and how it made her feel, so I don't want to make my daughter feel like that.

I'd probably buy an old farmhouse somewhere in the middle of some god-forsaken rural town with a few acres and a big barn for storage.

Get a couple more cats, buy a quad, maybe a dirt bike, a hot tub, a pool, and a second car or 2 for getting the groceries.

Something practical. ;)



No servants, no neighbors, no people, I'd tell the world to fuck off and just "be".

Nobody would know I was filthy stinkng rich. I'd act the same, dress the same, and be the same. I'd make sure my kids were set up for college and a little to get them started off after that and then I would use the rest to take down the Japanese whaling fleet, end the dolphin slaughter in Taiji, and take on the cetacean murderers throughout the world and bring an end to their barbarism. I'd stop the finning of sharks as well.

Money is bullshit and the root of all evil, so I would make sure it was used to battle the evils in this world.

I would probably also do a lot of work with children's groups.

My one personal splurge would be season tickets to the Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, and Celtics. Since I couldn't go to all the games with my busy schedule, the unused tickets would go to children's charities in the Boston area.

I would, of course, live in Boston...likely on Commonwealth Avenue near the Back Bay.

I would convert my car to run on a completely renewable source. My home would be 100% off the grid and supplying my neighbors with free energy.
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

i'd move far away from here, buy a car and a cute little house on the outskirts of the city, and just enjoy the nature and quiet for the rest of my life.

I think Id still just want to live in apartment, and not have too much stuff. But it would have like a solid gold bathtub or something. Id choose quality over quantity.
