i received one of those e-mailed "money angels" that promise to make you
rich.  it said:

Pass it to 6 of your good friends,or family
and be rich in 4 Days.
Pass it to 12 of your good friends.or family
and be rich in 2 Days.

i was tired of forwarding this kind of thing out to friends and family, so i
did some math.

based upon the money angel's formula, if i only sent it to 3 people, i'd be
rich in 8 days.  if i sent it to 1 and 1/2 people, i'd be rich in 16 days.
sent to 3/4ths of a person, i'd be rich in 32 days.  sent to 3/8ths of a
person, i'd be rich in 64 days.  sent to 3/16ths of a person, i'd be rich in
128 days or 4-ish months.  so, i figured-- if i just give it to my cat
(who's a good friend and a family member--which meets either and/or both
requirements), i'll probably be rich in 6 months and i won't have to email
it to anybody else.   i can live with that.ô¿ô

kate
(thinking . . . 6 months from now it will be march.   since i'm going to be
rich in march, how 'bout if i take all of you guys to europe for lunch in
april?  anyone for april in paris?)

concord out of mothballs.  heck, if i'm gonna be rich, i'm gonna be
REEEEE-ICH!!!  heck, shasti's sitting right here, on my printer, nodding her
head in complete agreement.  so, step aside, bill gates.

little clothes shopping for us?  i mean, afterall, who wants to have to pack
luggage?!)

"itinerary"  i really do know how to spell.

and i do know that it was supposed to have been, "in everything i used to
do" or "in everything i did", and not, "in everything i used to did".

oh, well.  those are only two examples of my many millions of errors and
typos and mistakes.  the brain fog keepeth creepething, "on and on . . ."

Hey Kate, why not just post it here and the check'll prolly be in your
mailbox by next mealtime. Then we can all re-post it and we'll all be
zillionaires by the end of the week. Then we can all run for a political
office and REALLY party! ;-)

LOL!  ok.  consider it posted.  gee, bud, why should we run for office when
we can afford to buy it?  i mean running for office sounds painful, as many
of us can't take the amount of hand-shaking involved with running for

While you at at it Kate - can you have some massage therapists, physios and
miracle healers waiting for us at the plane too?  Would hate any of us to be
in pain while we are spending all that money.

Boy this is easier than selling n*** juice!  or living water.

great idea, kelly!  you bet!  we'll even pick up some massage specialists in
japan and sweden, too, for an authentic touch.

and it's probably more fun than selling n*** juice, too.LOL  boy, i hesitate
to ask, in fear of making asa a spam magnet, but what the heck is living
water?

living water was another scam that was around for awhile.  We never really
figured out what it was or did (except cure everything of course and cost
money) and luckily it disappeared.  There is a big sign across from my
doctor's office on the lawn of a house advertising it. Some people will do
everything they can to make a buck.

oh, yeah and that's the truth.  i think the latest and greatest is:  $25 a
bottle mangosteen juice (notice, i didn't use their particular brandname.).
it tastes good, but did nothing dramatic, if anything, for my owies--- my
summer company friend had 2 cases shipped to me for a "good trial period".
so, i did drink it, like i promised her i would.  it helped her and i know
she wouldn't lie to me.  but at $25 a bottle, i think i'd have gotten more
benefit from a couple of cases of good wine or brandy.

You dont have to go to Paris for that . . . just hop a plane to NYC :-)
Did you know that to work in Tiffany's you have to be able to speak
Japanese? A friend told me that as they want to make sure the Japanese
business people can shop there!

oh, shoot!  i only speak a few words/phrases/sentences of japanese, can only
count to ten (that's definitely not a big enough number for tiffany's) and i
understand only a little bit more than i speak.  that means i wouldn't be
able to converse with the tiffany's sales people.  i sure wish they'd hire
people who spoke english.  oh, well, there's always cartier's.LOL

And we have to do one of those dinner cruises on the Seine :)

The concorde was retired. The only way we can take that is to steal the
one at the Museum :-) Of course, depending on how rich we are, we could
take the Queen Mary II. Have you seen that ship?  Now THAT'S what I call
living!!! :-)))

***i don't mind weekend cruises, but crossing the atlantic for that length

my bed aboard her.  but then there is all this time spent wandering around a

I've never taken a long cruise, but I think I could do a week on the
QMII. We'll let you bring your own bed, but from what I saw on the
documentary, since you'll be rich, we could all have those nice suites
:)))))  With private masseur :)))))  And pina coladas in coconut shells
by the pool :))))

i think transversing the atlantic by ship takes more than a week, though.
and i think you can have all of the rest, at a 5 star hotel, anywhere in the
world.
