Didn't I loan you $100 a few months ago?:rotfxko (worth a try isn't it)


That's too cool man congrats to you. Most I ever won off a $2 ticket was $50 and I was excited about that so you must be really pumped

IR.....

If you are like most drinkers....and neglected paying Bills
on time......that windfall will sure come in handy!

Hope you have planned to give some to either your
AA group ...church or charity too.

My wife has always handled the finances.. So we are good.. We gave 2000 to our Church.. They have a lot of programs for the homeless and addicts as well... Haven't joined AA.. But God is definatly working with me.
