I buy those tickets, every pay day, just a few......and I dream! :laugh:

John, who was in financial difficulty, walked into a church and started to pray. ''Listen God,'' John said. ''I know I haven't been perfect but I really need to win the lottery. I don't have a lot of money. Please help me out.''
He left the church, a week went by, and he hadn't won the lottery, so he walked into a synagogue. ''Come on, God,'' he said. ''I really need this money. My mom needs surgery and I have bills to pay. Please let me win the lottery.''
He left the synagogue, a week went by, and he didn't win the lottery. So he went into a mosque and started to pray again. ''You're starting to disappoint me, God,'' he said. ''I've prayed and prayed. If you just let me win the lottery, I'll be a better person. I don't have to win the jackpot, just enough to get me out of debt. I'll give some to charity, even. Just let me win the lottery.''
Suddenly, the clouds opened up. A booming voice said, ''John, could you at least buy a damn ticket!''

I was just now interacting on Facebook with Barb, a onetime active BetterMostian who hasn't been around much these days. We were talking about the weather and envying each others' climates. She said, "Wanna trade?"
I said, "You bet. ;)"
Hope she got the double entendre!

Just got an email from someone asking if we could be related because her parents, whose last name is spelled the same (slightly unusual) way mine is, were born in the state where I live.
"My parents were from Iowa," I replied. But I was sooo tempted to write, "My folks was Iowan."
After 7 1/2 years, the dialogue is still echoing in my brain!
