Ok.... now I am sure many of you have been asked this once or twice before....but what would you do if you were to win a million dollars?

Me....Well can you buy world peace?? Nah...didn't think so.
I would donate money to the local womens shelter... I would put money away in a savings account for each of my kids.... I would buy myself a house.... I would help those who took the time to help me in the hard times!!

I would buy a 100 acre lakefront property in Northern Ontario, have a large log house built on it, and retire to it, and then think about what to do with the rest of the money....

I have no idea. I have long-standing policy of only buying vehicles that are a decade or more old...I hate that depreciation thing.

I'd likely build a super-efficient house out in the country some place...staggered double studs, wrap-around porch, maybe built into a hill on the north side.

"Nice idea....I'd buy the land in Elliot Lake..I hear its really nice up there!"

It is really nice, but there is one problem with it...it’s a retirement community. (My friend ITN would like it I'm sure).


I've always been partial to the Temagami area…..

This one works, but the switch is broken so you have to plug and unplug it all the time. I forgot to unplug it, poured the water in, then went to put coffee in the basket. Now my hand hurts.

Why don't you go to starbucks rev and get a good cup of java
I like real coffee, not that fru fru Starbucks stuff. Besides, at 15 or so cups a day I'd spend all day going back and forth between here and the coffee shop.

Between coffee, beer and Marlboros...you probably don't have to eat. 8O
