53_3: A liitle laugh material. She was a bridesmaid at my first wedding. Her brother was my best man. I was the best man at her previous wedding when she married a minister. Her brother performed the ceremony when I married her this time. She went from being a minister's wife to marrying an atheist.

53_3: This is the last marriage for me. I think mrssacredh is my soulmate. She was crazier than I was when we were young. We have been friends since we were teenagers. We've told each other everything for 35 years. There are no skeletons in our closets to worry about. When we talk about the old days, there's no jealousy. it's more along the lines of "top this". We do everything together. We'll even die within minutes of each other. Murder/suicide? LOL.

An additional point might be that since only your roof was damaged in a hailstorm, an added bit of luck might be that you weren't caught outside to be beaten to death in it.

Push that enveleope, sacredh, but, uh, that's an issue between you and physics, and physics is known to be somewhat mysterious and relentlessly stubborn.

I have a hunch you might need that lawyer and begin enquiries into the possibility that your MIL #2 has yet another sister...

53_3: I've been pretty lucky most of my life. I was literally ASKED if I wanted to work for the government. I totaled 7 cars in a 6 year stretch and was only injured once. A hail storm damaged my roof 4 days before the contractors were going to replace it and my insurance paid for it. I bought a box of hardback 1st editions at an estate sale and they turned out to be autographed copies. I found a complete set of the original Beatles bubble gum cards at a flea market in mint condition for $25. I found $300 stuffed in a dictionary that was part of a "grab bag" box at the flea market. A friend bought me a Disney sculpture he found at a yard sale for $20 and I sold it on ebay for $1200. I really do think I'm one of those people who could fall in a cess pool and come out smelling like a rose.

I just won $53 at Muckleshoot last Saturday on the penny machines. That felt great, even if it is pocket change, considering up until then, I couldn't buy a shred of luck.

More power to you! I always gamble on a budget, but who knows. One of these days...

53_3: Since I hit the big one, I've won almost 3k on scratch-offs. I've hit almost $400 since yesterday morning when I finished up. Even without the 15k winner, this is the most I've ever won in a year and it's only the beginning of April. Last year was a bad one for me and my family (wife's illness and medical costs), but this year has been unbelieveable. I keep telling my wife I should stop playing for awhile but she says not to even think about it until I hit a slump.

Obama has soaring idealistic rhetoric. That's how all Presidents should be.

LOL. Sometimes things fly over my head and I don't even feel the breeze. I think I'll use the excuse that I just finished up 7 straight midnights and have had very little sleep because of the contractors working here. We're pumping some of that lottery money back into the local economy.

sacredh,

No, you're not. You made the statement about "us atheists" and I didn't want yo thinking that my previous reference to God liking something was a putdown.

We're on the same page. Thanks for the response.
