I was going to start this thread because I have been watching that show about people who won the lottery and I have been thinking about this an awful lot lately. I would hire tutors to help me in every language I'm learning or want to learn, most of my time would be devoted to Italian and Russian, then French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Then maybe Farsi and Pashtu. II would like to learn aramaic so I could translate the bible myself, for the Jesus part. Hebrew for the rest. I'm not sure about the whole linguistic history but I'd like to read it straight from the source. I'd like to learn a language in every family. Chinese would be great too. I could spend all my time the rest of my life doing that, and die happy. I would hire a great vegan/vegetarian chef to cook for me. I'd hire someone to teach me how to grow exotic vegetables and herbs, etc, so I can use them in the dishes. I'd get a personal trainer with a whip to make me exercise. I'd buy the most expensive and beautiful grand piano that I could get my hands on, and give it it's very own room, the first room you walk into ( and learn to play it, lol). I'd find my ideal house somewhere. My ideal house is a one story, old and weathered house. It has a couple or three bed rooms. I have a fixation about the porch, the front porch has triangular colums that run down half way. Tapered, I guess is what you call them. They remind me of triangles. The bottom half of the porch below the colums are walled with brick or something. I've wanted this house all my life. It looks like someone's grandmother lives there, and spends all her time quilting or making crochet afghans. This house kind of has the right porch, but on my house there is no second story and this house

is too new looking, I want my house to look old and beaten up.
I would adopt as many animals as possible, and rescue horses that just walked around without being ridden and I would rescue exotic birds, and I would have at least one hyacinth macaw (rescued) and I would rescue a Great Pyrenees. And a Dog de Bourdeaux too. And an Irish Wolfhound, possibly. I would donate to animal rescue groups. I would drive a prius and I would buy a Jimmy just because I've always wanted one.I would go to art school and learn to paint. I would hire a guitar teacher and maybe someone to help me learn how to play drums. I would buy everyone one in my family a house and put them on an allowance. I would put aside college money for all the kids in my family. Maybe I would start an organic gardening enterprise and make all of them work there. Really get down in the dirt. Et cetera, et cetera. Once I got everything in order and got established, I'd hunt down someone to help me take care of my animals. Then I would take a few trips. I want to go to Angkor Wat. Macchu Picchu. Wherever it is in South America they think Atlantis used to be. I want to go to Italy. I'd like to kiss the Blarney Stone, and visit some old castles in Ireland as well. Go to all the places in the Mists of Avalon, where the Arthurian legends originated. But most of my time would just be at home taking care of my animals and learning languages.
