I know you haven't, very few people have. it's the same in all countries-the potatoe fields outside of St.Pete are the same, except most of it is done without petrol-I've worked there too.

I know more of the world than you ever will-so don't lecture me lad. I use 'Lad' when I sense a person who hasn't ever worked on the earth.

Well, I'm a 50 year old die maker and I've worked many months of 12 hour days, seven days a week, many times, but I certainly don't look down my nose at other's good fortune. I am not filled with envy and jealousy to the point of trying to denounce those who have fared better.

I am not filled with envy or jealousy. Geekbabe is probably a very good mother/spouse-I just question the posting of a thread about the goodfortune without considering the action of a donation.

I have yet to win anything at all, I guess I know where all my luck went to. Congrats on the winnings, make good use of it while it lasts!

Man I need to start doing this. I'm not working right now because we're getting ready for a cross country move in June, so I got the time!

There is someone this thread that really needs to stop being "that guy."

Dude, this is ATOT - posting on ATOT comes first around here

If she spends that much time hunting down contests and entering them, and she wins $10k, good for here, wish I was that lucky She won the contest, she can use the money how she likes

I would ask you if they need to have their lives improved. I know that you've probably made a life for them whereby they don't need anything of the necessity of life. A new soccer ball, new PE shoes/shorts, leather bags for the harley, or a tire swing may be qualified, but they are not necessary.

You don't have to see it if you don't want to.

And you have no idea what my stance on charitable giving is.I'm an ardent supporter of several worthy causes.

gtfo, go crap your own thread - a personal attack because she won something? Come on. Take your generalizations elsewhere. You can't judge her "life worthyness" by her few posts in this thread.....:roll:

IIRC, OP won a brand new desktop computer and some other goodies before that.

Darn, here is my list: Street and Map 2007 with GPS, wheel cover for my SUV and OEM cleaner, Office 2007 and Vista Ultimate from MS, $100 from Powerball <4 white balls, 2 more and I would be very happy>, and some other stuffs. As you can see, I won mostly in hundreds of dollars range, never in thousands...whaaaaa..BTW, congrats OP.

You see, I went to college and furthered my education so I wouldn't have to do that. Making crappy choices or getting stuck with a crappy job doesn't further your experiences in life... maybe it makes you appreciate a dollar more than someone who makes multitudes more, but it certainly does not make you the go-to-guy on how one should live their life.
