Exactly what I would have done. I always figured lottery tickets were basically just a form of "stupidity tax".

It's fairly common up here for the people who win the big lottery jackpots to end up in a year or two in the same financial position they were in before they won the lottery...or even worse off than that...and having lost several of their "friends" and/or their marriage along the way. As the old adage goes: "a fool and his money are soon parted"

I may have averted a disaster by not getting sucked into the MegaMillions Lottery mania that seemed to afflict the entire US yesterday. I figured that with the odds of winning being 175 million to one, I had a better chance of being shot by an armed robber while standing in line to buy a ticket than I did of winning. So, I stayed home, didn't buy a ticket, didn't get shot, and am still alive and relatively well.

Well, there! I talked this up. One of our cats HAS weed on something, the ironing board, the little sod. Still, could be worse.

I had a late lamented friend who worried so much he gave up getting on planes to fly places always thinking the one he was on would barrel into the earth. After that he took the train. He died on board a train near the Saskatchewan border. A plane crashed into it.

It's true, when things go well I too feel a bit strange. Today for instance, my husband has done the whole garden, I've tidied the house, there's a nice beef casserole in the oven for our dinner and we topped up our car with petrol at the village garage no bother. Not one of our cats has weed on anything, it's quite uncanny. Like you,LH, I'm waiting for the major earthquake or plane landing on the house...!

Visit your optician. If (ever) you can't see a looming disaster either it is so big it exceeds your field of vision, or you need some spectacles. There's always something nasty lurking.

Check you didn't leave a stove element on or the iron plugged in.

You don't ever hear about anything like this on the News, that's for sure. It's uncanny. I'm gettin quite nervous about it.

Everything seems to be okay here today. It's all going quite well. I might say that things are indeed running smoothly. The birds are happy. The bills are paid. And the weather is good. I can't see anything disastrous or terrifying looming up in these circumstances.

What should I do? ;-D
