I ordered the first one on February 7. It arrived February 16 with damage. UPS picked it up on February 22 and today the second table arrived -- with damage. I called the company and told them to credit my account and I'll just buy something locally. I doubt I can find something at the same low price of $47, but at least it won't be damaged and with luck I won't have to assemble it.<BR/><BR/>Where's that lottery jackpot when you need it?<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-66786891336971237082007-03-07T13:30:00.000-06:002007-03-07T13:30:00.000-06:00I think I'd buy real estate :o) A little place on ...I think I'd buy real estate :o) A little place on the beach to go to whenever I needed some vacation time. A place in the snow so I can freeze lol Do some travelling. Give some money to my parents. Help out my best friend. Buy a few things I haven't been able to (a car comes to mind) and let the rest sit in a bank account somewhere knowing the only thing that really held me back was my imagination :o)Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037890237546942702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-65318262443717444452007-03-07T13:07:00.000-06:002007-03-07T13:07:00.000-06:00I've taken some mental health days--reading, relax...I've taken some mental health days--reading, relaxing.

I would be able to get up every day and write in my office in my PJs and not worry about work or bills or whether or not the sale of said book was needed to feed my children!<BR/><BR/>Ahh...did a mention a personal cook, trainer and housekeeper...<BR/><BR/>SPAndrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-8102915979352187652007-03-07T08:35:00.000-06:002007-03-07T08:35:00.000-06:00Debt-free sounds good to me.

Defintely a writer's retreat -- well, maybe 3. (Hey, it was a big lottery.) Beach house, mountain retreat, Sedona. :) <BR/><BR/>However, much like you, PM, I have a lot to be thankful for. At night I say a prayer of thanks for all that I have and I lay in bed every morning and say a prayer of thanks as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-84423716352690502542007-03-07T08:33:00.000-06:002007-03-07T08:33:00.000-06:00I think all of us would pay off the bills first. ...I think all of us would pay off the bills first. Put some away for our children's education. Make sure we had money invested for retirement and/or sickly parents. If I had the money and the time, without having to worry about the kids, I'd travel and give to charity. <BR/><BR/>Would the stress be relieved or does more money only cause more stress? Who would come out of the woodwork asking for handouts? Would you have to fear everyone you meet is trying to scam you? Who knows? But... having 'the' Butler nearby would make that kind of life worth living. :-)<BR/><BR/>Kathy<BR/>(Go see the 300 this weekend!)Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-29723287456402110962007-03-07T08:20:00.000-06:002007-03-07T08:20:00.000-06:00I'd go on an African safari and buy a hot air ball...I'd go on an African safari and buy a hot air balloon.
