I’ve always said I want to earn my millions, not win them, but from time to time when things get really bad I will buy a lotto ticket and hope for a miracle. I remember there was a time in my life when I was so desperate for money I would get down on my knees and pray to be shown the winning lotto numbers. I would even sometimes look up to the sky and beseech the power above to let the clouds form in the shape of the winning lotto numbers. Pathetic, I know; but that was many years ago when I was a young mother with no job living at home with my parents and desperate for money to move out and take care of myself and my son.
These days I don’t pray and look to the sky. I very seldom spend money on the lottery; but I do occasionally play online games like solitaire and bingo at pogo.com hoping to win the jackpot. I’ve been playing Bingo Luau quite a bit lately hoping for some good luck to come my way. The jackpot is currently $4623. I know I have no chance of winning it because when it comes to winning money I have zero luck in that regard, but I still play and hope for a miracle anyway. I feel almost as desperate now as I did back then. My money situation is that bad.
It’s interesting the point I’ve reached. Earlier today I was reviewing websites that offer chances to win money playing free bingo. I’m now turning to hoping for luck winning money knowing fully well that I am the world’s most unlucky person when it comes to winning games of chance. What else can I do. Yeah, I know what you’re going to say. Go get a real job. After all I can’t possibly claim to be running a business if I’m spending my time playing Bingo even if it’s purely an act of desperation. If things are that desperate the only sensible thing to do is call my business an utter and complete failure and go fill out an application at McDonalds; but then I remind myself that Barack Obama has just pulled off the ultimate impossibility. Of course, he didn’t leave anything to chance.
This story is too bizarre to know how to summarize so instead of trying to explain it to you I’ll just give you the link to where I stumbled across it and you can read the details yourself; but seriously, who rapes a woman then gives her permission to drive the car to take herself back home while he goes into the back seat to sleep? (Update: It seems it was in the passenger seat and not the back seat that Vipul Romik Sharma fell asleep after raping his victim)
Read the story: Rape case woman drove man to police
Excerpt from the piece:
Sharma said he had consensual sex with her and she asked him to do it.
He said the woman told him she had been raped and that he must have sex with her too because that’s what Singh wanted – and if they didn’t listen to him he would kill them both.
Vipul Romik Sharma clearly needs some lessons in story fabrication.
As they used to say in New York Lottery ads “All you need is a dollar and a dream”. Sometimes it’s okay to play the lottery. You don’t want to play too frequently because your dollars add up; but sometimes it’s okay to play. As they say, you never know. Here are some numbers for you to play. You should know they have come out of the head of the world’s most unlucky person; but again, you never know. Maybe my bad luck will prove to be your good luck, so without further ado here are my lucky number picks:
For lottery games with 5 numbers: 2,6,15,17,26
For lottery games with 6 numbers: 2,11,12,16,29,46,
For lottery games with 5 numbers plus a powerball number: 20,30,34,44,49 [50]

Why do you suppose Victoria Beckham didn’t leave David Beckham after the cheating thing a few years back? His money might have had something to do with it, but certain other assets might have proven more difficult to contemplate living without.
Victoria Beckham is arguably the luckiest woman in the world. Then again, just because a man is well endowed doesn’t mean he’s all that great a lover.

Imagine there’s a dog out there somewhere wearing a collar that’s worth more than you would make in 36 years if you were earning $50,000 per year?
According to research, the world’s most expensive dog collar comes from “i Love Dogs La Collection de Bijoux”, described as a “stunning line of dog collars that showcases over one hundred carats of sparkling diamonds and exquisite jewels.
It seems a bit ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a dog collar though. Does the dog really know the difference? Then again it’s not as if someone would buy a $1.8 million dollar collar for their dog because they believed it would make the dog feel special. It’s not about the dog when you go to such extremes. It’s all about you and your ego as well as your issues which you must have to feel the need to spend that kind of money on a dog collar.

Get a glimpse of life at the top of the ladder through the eyes of some young Manhattan socialites. The IMDB Plot summary:
In an apartment on Manhattan a couple of friends from the New York upper-class meet almost every night to talk about social mobility, play bridge and discuss Fourier’s socialism; the cynic Nick, the philosophical Charlie, partygirl Sally and austenite Audrey. They are joined by Tom. His background is much simpler and he is critical of their way of life. But he finds a soul mate in Audrey, who without his knowledge falls in love with him. IMDB
The film stars Carolyn Farina as Audrey, and Edward Clements as Tom. It was nominated for an Oscar and writer/director Whit Stillman won a number of awards for the film, including an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature
I previously mentioned that my husband and I had a fight on our wedding day because he chose to go out for a smoke when he was supposed to be getting ready for us to go see the justice of the peace.
The way I saw it, it was bad enough we were going to the justice of the peace to get married and it was just the two of us and we were wearing the same clothes we wore ordinarily, jeans and t-shirt. I felt the least he could have done was try not to further reduce the day to just another meaningless day.
Then again, maybe be needed his cigarette to help him come to terms with the idea that he was about to do something he had no desire whatsoever to do. Who knows? We’re still married 12 years later but that cigarette moment might have been more significant than I realized.

I’m old enough to remember the “Where’s the beef?” Wendy’s commercial that used to air on TV. It was in the 80s. I was a teenager in the 80s.
In 1980 I was 9 for most of the year, then I turned 10 towards the end of the year; and I turned 19 towards the end of 1989. Where am I going with this? Nowhere to be honest. I just haven’t been able to think of anything to write all day.
My teenage years were rather unfortunate for me. As some of you have already noticed I’m not the most interesting person on the planet. I’ve been trying since I was three years old to impress people but it’s never worked. Most of my life has been spent doing what I’m doing now, which is talking to myself and entertaining myself. I guess that makes me crazy. Hopefully at some point, in the near future preferably, I’ll be able to turn my insanity and my “lameness” into financial success.
We’re spending so much time envying the lifestyles of the rich. We should stop envying and start duplicating. Why not? Instead of spending your time wishing you could hobnob with the Tinsley Mortimers of the world, plan a dinner party and enjoy a night with your friends in true socialite rich bitch style. Here are some possible dinner party dresses you and your friends might like to wear to the event.
To get some media attention you might try to organize a fundraiser for a charity instead or simply send out word to the local papers that you’re starting a revolution to remove the barriers that socially separate you from the so-called upper class. Let them know the details of your dinner party. You never know, they might send a reporter to cover your event and if you do this often enough, you might find yourself suddenly a local celebrity.

I’m not a tech savvy girl. I admit I’ve only been using cell phones for a little over a year. I’ve never touched an MP3 Player, an Ipod or any of those gadgets. Actually that’s not true. I did buy my husband an MP3 player last holiday season so I have touched an MP3 player. But I’ve never actually used one of those things. Today I came across the Dell Studio Hybrid PC via a post on Gadget Advisor, and it inspired me to go out and bring myself up to speed on what’s out there by way of gadgets that women can play with.
I’ve discovered about the Nokia fashion phones, though I don’t get what’s hot about them. Apparently they are made to be more like an accessory that you can match with your outfit? Maybe I got it wrong. Who cares if their phone matches their outfit? Probably Mariah Carey. I also discovered about the pink Sony Vaio and the pink XM radio. I guess if you throw pink on it suddenly it’s a gadget for girls? The PoGo from Polaroid that allows you to print pictures from your cell phone was cute.I don’t take pictures with my cell phone so it wouldn’t be of much use to me; but the hubby does take pictures with his cell phone. Maybe if I had $149 I’d buy him one for the upcoming holidays. I don’t think it’s a product designed for women specifically.
