17 Things That It Took Me 50 Years To Learn

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. You should not confuse your career with your life.

5. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

6. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

7. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

8. Never lick a steak knife.

9. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

10. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

11. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

12. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

13. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

14. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

15. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

16. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

17. Your friends love you anyway.

In my last newsletter, I said that it looked like our winning streak was over. Boy was on wrong.

According to Mac’s Spreadsheet, we won another $6.00 in Wednesday’s drawing. Mac’s Spreadsheet: http://tinyurl.com/2nyqbv

Here are the numbers for Wednesday, October 10th, 2007:

19-21-34-40-42-46

The Jack Pot for Saturday, October 13th, 2007 is now set at $11 Million. The Cash Option is worth $6,500,000.00. There were 15 shares sold in this game. Here is what you would get if we have the winning numbers on Wednesday. This is before any attorney fees, taxes or tithes:

Shares Purchased	Amount you could win
.5	$ 216,666.66
1	$ 433,333.33
3	$ 1,300,000.00

This game has won a total of $90.00! That is unheard of my Lotto Texas Lottery Pool - $90.00. And our pot was only $150.00.

Now before doing anything, I will wait to see what we win on Saturday, before making any decisions where to do a Cash Out and move money to Game Nine, or continue with having two games.

But, here is what I would like to do: Suppose we win nothing on our last two drawings. I would like to remove $75.00 from the wins and Cash Out to Game Nine. Everyone would get ½ of their shares transferred to Game Nine.

Now if you did not pay for Game Nine, you would still be in with ½ from this game.

If you paid for 1 share in Game Nine, then you would not have 1.5 shares.

That would leave $15.00 in this game, to play on. At this time, I don’t know if I would drop all $15 on one drawing, or if I would buy two lines, 1 for 8 draws and 1 for 7 draws. Hey, we could win enough, I could cash out at 100%. That is what I’m aiming for.

I have a two rejoins, so I have to start Lotto Texas Lottery Pool – Game Nine on Saturday October 20^th, 2007. I’ve attached the membership list.

OBEDIENT WIFE

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the after life with me."

And, so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!" She had a box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.

So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband." The loyal wife replied, “Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
