Well, I can perhaps see myself in that first car of yours but why in the World would you ever want an UGLY Hummer?
I absolutely hate those things. It's like a Big Huge Brick with wheels on it. I do second the wish for an IPAD2. But would be happy with an HP Touchpad if I could find one.
No need for a remote to shut off girlfriends. My ears have a selective hearing feature which works amazingly well
As far as ultimate wishes go. Besides World Peace and Joy and Happiness among all creatures I could go for an Audi R8. Always loved that car even before it was available for Sale when I first saw it on the streets of Heilbronn/Neckarsulm and was wondering what amazing car is that. Of course cash would always be nice so I could make my own world peace by treating everyone to a Brand New Beetle Turbo. Ahh, life is good as long as you can dream.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Okay here are the winning lottery numbers for your next drawing. 6, 15, 29, 36, 37, 42.

Be sure to split the loot with your buddy in Indianapolis.

They probably get about 10mpg but that isn't the worst part. You think filling it up here in the states is bad. Blugg lives in Europe where a Gallon of Gas is about 8 Dollars a Gallon. Can you say $256+ Dollars to fill up the Tank

Just looked it up: The Hummer H2 Fuel Tank holds 32 gallons. It gets 9.6 mpg. Here in the states it would cost about $120.00 for a 300 mile trip. Double that ($240.00) if you live in Europe.

What FOUR things?

Not really anything... actually. I mean, there are things that I want but, there are things I need more.

1. About $60 million dollars (after taxes)... that way I could, pay off my student loans, buy a 900 square foot house, allow my parents to retire (and healthy), give a few million to my sister and to my brother, give $1million to each of my friends kids (for education and not to be touched until they are 21), and ... I would also pay off the student loans of 5 people. The only rules on that are: The debt MUST be above $50,000 ... and below $250,000. The person must be able to prove that they are in hardship, and from those people I would hold a raffle/drawing.

2. A job doing 3D architectural visualization. This job would never go away ...

3 & 4. Too political. But, the outcome would be: happiness for everyone. For everyone to be listened to equally and understood (listening and hearing are two different things). For everyone in the world to work together for the better. Sharing resources. Caring for your neighbor and friend...

IMHO

They aren't Christmas things. Christmas should be a time of Happiness and Joy

I would like a house, a job, pay off my student loan too and politics and Christmas don't mix at all. But there things i want or try to work for everyday. Christmas is for a bit of Fun. Forget about the other 360 or so days and choose 4

???

I put the $60mill so that I could spread joy and hopefully happiness. That would make me happy.
And the 3D job would make me happy too. I would just have a contract come down the chimney. :P

Even if I was rich I couldn't stand having to stop that often to fill up! Blugg do you see many Hummers there? There all over OKC which suprises me.

I maybe buy a couple scratch offs 1-2 times a year, usually put in my kids and husbands Christmas Stocking. Well I bought 1 $5.00 scratch off card to try since I always buy the $1 ones. I won $77.00 Woo Hoooooo! . Out of my winnings I bought 1 more $5 scratch off didn't win on that one. I'm quitting while I'm ahead lol!
