We Really Do Stink at Math

ElizabethWallace @ElizabethWallace (12074) • United States 9 Jan 16

The Powerball lottery total has risen to over $800 million. Yes, that is a bucket load of money. Of course, if you take the lump sum instead of having it paid out over many years, you will only get about $496 million. Then there...

NancyWrites I fully admit I stink at math! But with the extra legacy money I would like to do two things...buy up houses in Detroit, renovate them and give them to homeless people, and possibly start a school.

Day Trip on A Snowy Day

Raine38 @Raine38 (12250) • United States 9 Jan 16

My boyfriend and I are planning to go to another town about 100 miles away from us to see a show. It will be an interesting trip since it is still snowing, but very light. We have like a quarter of an inch of snow and the sun is...

Random Word Post – uppish

Stephen L. Thompson @oneoveralpha (434) • Brookville, Pennsylvania 9 Jan 16

I find a random word by flipping through my 2003 The New Webster’s Concise Dictionary and write a quick – often silly – little post about it. # “Informal UPPITY.” I don’t normally do this, but the definition for uppity...

Hitting the Jackpot!

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121582) • Gainesville, Florida 7 Jan 16

I am by no means a regular player of the lottery, and in fact, I can't even recall when the last time I ever played was. But the PowerBall lottery has been getting quite a bit of attention this week, as the jackpot is up to $700...

NancyWrites I'm with you, though maybe a little bit greedier-- I think I would take about 20 million for my family, and put 20 million into a business I've been involved in that I would love me to see succeed. The rest I would use to help homeless people and to provide...

Superstitious

Tiff Gray @T_gray (7774) • Salina, Kansas 7 Jan 16

Are you superstitious? I have heard so many different things from different people about how they are superstitious. I think the greatest one is my roommate who has to have everything even. She even thinks that now that it is...

NancyWrites I always throw salt over my shoulder if I spill it. Not sure why, I don't really believe in it, it's more of a habit than a superstition.

E-reader or Actual Book

Raine38 @Raine38 (12250) • United States 8 Jan 16

For me it depends on what the book is all about. For some fun reading, I prefer an e-reader like a kindle or a nook. I find it practical especially when will be traveling as I won't have to worry about lugging around the extra...

NancyWrites I sometimes prefer my Kindle because I'm lazy-- love to read in bed and don't want to get up to shut the light off. But if it's a book I think will be important to me or that I'll want to reread over and over again, I prefer a real book.

Coloring for Adults

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160665) • United States 7 Jan 16

I have not joined the trend, but I think I may go print some color pages. I do not want to buy a whole book. Then if I wake up feeling stressed, I can color. I have coloring pencils and markers and so forth. Do you color for...

NancyWrites I actually like coloring in the pages and then cutting them up randomly and collaging with the pieces. You get relaxation that way but then you create your own original work of art.
