Wonderful for you, Turga! Your winnings even surpass the win you received on the #1400 post...can't remember what we all gave you though.
Btw, this is one thing I appreciate about the Not...it's a place for us to stay connected and occasionally share something personal about our lives. I recall you once share about being a new grandpa a couple of years ago(I think)...I have no grandkids.

My son (when he was a young boy) joked that my mothers numbers were rubbish. He gave her six numbers (which she wrote down but didn't do anything else).
After the draw she asked if I had bought him a ticket as 5 of the six had come up.
I said I knew nothing about it and he would have won £2000.
Oh well...you've got to buy a ticket.
I'm just happy to get one

Get "one" what?
I've never bought a lottery ticket, but I once received one in a Christmas gift exchange. It was the gift that ended up being an UNgift...just like the 100th post gifts we give to the lucky winners on the Not.

I hope this story is true. I read that a man had the winning numbers for both the Massachusetts and Rhode Island lotteries at the same time BUT the Rhode Island number was on the Massachusetts ticket and the MA number was on the RI ticket.

As a lottery winner I have been out looking for some serious real estate and I found this. It's slightly over budget, but I believe there is some wiggle room (I mean, 255 Euros should be quite a juicy bait, right?). What do you think...?

 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Turga would need more than twice as much as he won to buy it...
255 + 255 + 37= 547.
Unless no one else bids. It really hurt to compare what my small house on a quarter acre cost in 1985 to what this nearby place cost in 1994 (I later worked in one of the buildings).
BTW, I read today that the median price for a house in the US has just risen past $400,000.

Then I must live in poverty in my 1400 sq.ft. home all paid for in a small town 100 miles from Chicago on 1/2 acre...glad I live where I do...more money for travel when I am ready. No noose around my neck.
 
I've just come back from my multi million pound second home on the Kent coast.
In my part of the world they call it a "Premier Inn".
Our houses are an obscene price and we would kill for what you pay for your petrol (gas). When I was in Richmond (Virginia) I asked whether the price advertised was per litre and was told it was for a gallon....I nearly fainted.

Bummer, BB. And Rick on the east coast I think he has it worse than me here in the semi-boring Midwest...cuz he on the hoity toity east coast of the USA...aren't ya, Rick? And so does NYC in Los Angeles, Cali....it's all a fortune to live there, too.

P.S. Hose who live in Massachusetts have a funny accent, but Rick was determined to get rid of his...I can verify he accomplished it by Oct. 2019...Cali has no accent...It's Hollywood. They all talk like me...they must love the Midwest.

House across street from my mom’s sold for 1.2million.

In the sixties houses were going for $20-30 thousand dollars.

Folks must be printing money in backyards and basements.

I actually had someone do this to me on my last overses flight...the nerve! Every time I tried to relax, he pushed my seat back up to a sitting position...made me so mad, but I'm a laydee and said nothing, but I was angry.

Prices for regular gas varies by location in US now from about $3.00 to $4.60 per gallon (OK, CA). Google says about 0.67 pounds, 0.80€ per liter.

Prices here according to AAA auto club: CA $4.579 (highest), IL $3.573, MA $3.369, OK $3.022 One place in CA is about $8.50.
 

We’re paying $4.19-$4.50 in Los Angeles.

Last March/April had prices dropped to mid $2’s.

Exactly!

When will sanity return?
When people stop playing video games.(I had to google ps4).
Trouble is that the overhead is higher; the costs go up by 50%.
What overhead?
Some guys in India just got arrested for trying to sell whale vomit. They might have gotten a million. They might have gotten away with it if they had advertised it as porpoise poop.
That's a whale of a tale.
Maybe, but wait a bit. Change takes time.
I've warmed a few toilet seats in my life, waiting.
First wait to see if NYC is really constipated or not.
I've waited four hours...that's long enough.
I thought it was the plums.
Apparently it's prunes Barbara needs.
You'll know when change comes....it rattles in the pan.
My change rattles in my piggybank.
To be in or to be out.

That is the ?
Well, NYC...is it still in or did it come out?
 
News from the UK.

There was an interesting discussion this morning on BBC "Breakfast".
Penny Lancaster (Rod Stewart's wife) and Mariela Frostrop were interviewed concerning the issues that women face with regard to the menopause.
At the end of the of the interview it transpired that a pressure group were going to march and lobby Parliament to discuss and raise the issues and.....to demand change.

When I've played Patience there has been nobody there.
Brilliant reply, BB! I had to google this...It's interesting what one simple capital letter can do for a definition.
"pa·tience /ˈpāSHəns/ noun
(Definition #2)
BRITISH
Any of various forms of a card game for one player."

I have been impatiently waiting my whole adult life to acquire more patience...I'd say all that waiting has required a lot of patience.

There are a few variations of this product.

There is a fatty version....Tallowweiners.
A sweet version for toasting over an open fire....Mallowweiners.
And finally a version lightly dipped in liquorice.....Shallowwieners.
I'll take the Malloweiners. I need to be sweetened up a bit.

Sorry. The dating app that I have is a real dog too. Every few years it indicates that February has 29 days!
I always wished my birthday was on February 29th...no fake UNbirthdays would be needed to roll back the years. I'd officially only be...17. Yay!
EDIT...I can't find the song, so deleted the title.

Seriously, that dog spider was funny. Also seriously, I was watching this video collection of pet costumes when I paused for spidey.
Hilarious! What will they think of next!

BTW... has anyone else noticed that the video "length" on Youtubes are not showing up on the forum? I wonder why? It no longer shows it on my phone...is it just happening to me?

Since when? I can't remember ever seeing the run times.
Well if you touch the red line at the bottom you can see the time length normally. Such as when someone says what they are referring to is at the time frame 2:12 mintue mark, for example. Now I see nothing but the red line even when I move the curser farther over, but what do I know...I'm just a curious cat, not a clever cat.
 
That time over the red line as I slide I do see. I thought you wanted to see the time shown before even starting the video so you could decide if your inner kitty was interested.

Well, I tease anout my short attention span, but if videos are too long (or boring)lol, I can go forward a bit faster. I checked your cute post again and I do not see any times on my Android smartphone, which is the only computer I use. Maybe I need to update my apps or possibly install a newer version of Youtube. I can ask a question on google if need be. My inner kitty is confused, but will get it sorted out before long, I'm sure.
