Sorry for the qoutes Theia. Not a fun AM. When it pours for a couple of hours and the temps are in the mid 20's, you end up with a lot of ice. Just salted my driveway. Probably 1/2 inch of solid ice on it. Temps are now righ about freezing, so hopefully between the salt and rising temps, I will be able to get out of my house at some point today.

Pay off all our debt, my parents debt, start a trust fund of some sort for Avery and go on a nice vacation.<br><br>
Wow, if I wasn't married, I'd ask you to marry me! Thats my dream home!

excellent BNL reference moon.<br><br><b>QOD</b> - million dollars huh? let's see: being debt free would only eat up a small portion (by small I mean about one year's salary - someone has some student loan debt from that PhD she likes to flaunt <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">), I would immediately stop working at my current job, travel a bit, college funds for the niece/nephews (nice idea Mary), largish donation to the <a href="http://www.evansscholarsfoundation.com/" target="_blank">greatest scholarship</a> in the world, plus a donation to the alma maters, buy a house...maybe all of those, maybe only some. Debt free and donations definite.

The love of money is the root of all evil. Little difference there <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
If I had a million dollars: 10% tithe, buy house, pay off sisters house (she's incredible person who richly gives gifts so I would pay her back in a big lump sum), give enough to my retired parents to make sure money was never an issue, buy a new car (mine is 10 years old). Then tour the UK for a few weeks.<br><br>
We will see what's left then decide what to do. I have very little debt so thankfully I wouldn't lose a big chunk that way.

I reckon this is what I'd do, too, but I don't really have any nonmortgage debt. I think I have about $400 of that, which will be paid by mid-January. I'd probably do some decent remodeling of the chateau, get a lift kit and big ass tires for Son of Trigger and then invest the remaining $990,000.<br><br><b>QOD3</b>: I need to think about that one.

My feet were slipping as I was getting out of the car, and I had boots on. It is still snowing here, I have no idea when it will end.

Hey, cool, thanks Beth. Good thing I know how to read pre-existing instructions...guess that goes with the XY chromosome.<br><br>
I made mine with a Greek twist - basmati rice, eggplant, ground lamb, fresh grated parm cheese, more peppers and spices to flavor. Fresh tomato sauce over the top when cooking. Yum.<br>
(just make sure you eat the pepper and not just the stuffing)<br><br>
So, Paige was baby Jesus yesterday at the Phillips Andover Academy (where DW works) Christmas pageant yesterday. Pretty cute and she only cried part of the time. I'll try to post a pic or 2 when I get home. So if she starts off as baby Jesus...where does she go from here?<br><br>
No exciting Xmas gift ideas rolling around in my head just yet.

I lost track of all the <b>QODs</b> except the first one.<br>
If i get the paper work signed on a winter defense before christmas, I'm making a copy of the paperwork, wrapping it up and giving it to my dad.<br>
That should just about pay him back for the christmas he made me burst into tears (um, not an easy thing to do to this kid) by giving me some blown up copies of my Grandad Price (they were 3 tiny ones...we don't have many b/c of family drama).

<b>Hooters Video</b><br><br>
My brother and I were rabid Hooters fans back in the day. I've seen them in concert 34 times, and my brother has even more shows under his belt! When "And We Danced" went big, they sent out postcards to their regular fans to show up for a casting call. Unfortunately, we weren't as aggressive as we should have been and kinda waited around 'til the end without making ourselves more noticeable. Not sure what other parts might have been available to us if we'd been more aggressive, but I'm in the front row dancing in a couple of the scenes (recognizable only to me, sadly) and my brother is one of the kids who gets locked in the trunk. It was an amazingly long, hot, fun, memorable day. July 27, 1985.<br><br>
We're also in the front row of their live concert video from... 1986? I had one of those asymmetrical haircuts, which didn't go AT. ALL. with my preppy attire. I was a bit confused. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">
