"Make a Wish" Wednesday

My Wish: My wish this week is to win tonight’s Lotto 649 Jackpot – currently estimated to be at 32 million dollars. Although, that’s Canadian dollars, it’s still a lot of money and I would be able to do wonders with that kind of cash (both for myself and others).


For starters, here is what I would do if I won:

  1. Quit my job. I like my job but wouldn’t be able to take it seriously with that kind of cash in the bank.
  2. Pay off my mortgage and my car loan.
  3. Give my dad and in-laws some money and help them enjoy retirement.
  4. Take ten of my closest friends on an all expense paid scuba vacation.
  5. Renovate and landscape my existing home (add a pool and a hot tub too).
  6. Buy an ocean-front condo in Bonaire, so I have a place to escape the snow in the winter months.
  7. Build an affordable, fully accessible housing complex for seniors and those with disabilities in my home town.
  8. Start a scholarship program for disadvantaged teens - for those who can't afford a post-secondary education, but want one.
  9. Hire a house keeping and landscaping service for myself.
  10. Buy one boat and two motorcycles - one for me and one for my husband - no sense fighting about who will be the rider and who will be the driver.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
