Sorry.

I am sorry to announce that I am having a problem with my computor so I must cancel the contest that was supposed to start today, in fact as soon as I post this I am going to call my repair shop and get them to do a number on this piece of crap I call a computor.
I will give you all a heads-up before I start the contest, hope it is nothing serious but from my little knowledge I have of computors I would say it is probally software, or a virus.
Till next time, take care.

BIG CONTEST TOMORROW!!!!!

Tomorrow I will be having my first official contest with a real prize offered to the first person who can answer 3 questions.
The answers will be sent to an E-MAIL address you will also get tomorrow. This will be 3 questions of which everyone should know the answer to 2 of them, the 3'rd one is the one that will give you a problem.
The winner will have to give me a mail address so I can send them the fine prize by snail mail.
Good luck all and am looking forward to all your answers.
If I get more than one winner the one with the earliest E-MAIL will be declared the winner. If no one gets all 3 right and more than 1 person gets t 2 right earliest E-MAIL wins again.
Till tomorrow take care.

What a ride part deux!!!!!!

Here we are with part 2 of a wonderful week. We have been planning on going to Bangor, Maine for about 3 months now and we planned it for last week so after all the excitement of our big win we had to get ready for our trip. Mary's sister and her husband also were on our shopping trip, we both took our cars and stayed at the same motel. We had a great time and even brought some money back with us but still managed to spend a lot. The prices up there on some things are real good and on other things not so great but the best part is if you buy cloths you will not meet yourself coming down the street. I must be a true islander because the best deal I saw was at Kentucky Fried Chicken which was a noon buffet for $4.99 which was about 4 kinds of chicken, salads, potatoes, buttermilk biscuits and a lot of other items. Where the islander in me shows up is that it was all you could eat.
Cloths may be a little cheaper but where the big diff to me is electronics and being a man that is what is most important in life. The LCD flat TV's are enough to make a grown man cry and the prices would finish the job. I bought a 128 MG memory stick for my camera for $34.00. I priced the same one today at the wally for $85.00, with a .80cent dollar I got it for 1/2 price. I saw fresh chickens for .69cents a pound, turkeys for .99cents, milk was $1.99 for 2 quarts. Lots of good prices if you want to look and just really good to check out some diff stores for a change. I had a real good time and am planning my next trip already.
On top of all this excitement we celebrated our 40'th wedding anniversary on Sunday the 10'th. This time it was me that went to the washroom and cried if you can believe that. Didn't do a damn thing to celebrate as before you know it we will be having our 50'th.
As you can see it has been quite a week and will be a while before I have another one like it.
In closing I just like to wish all of you the kind of week that I have just had and hope that you all cash big lotto tickets.
Till next time, take care.
P.S. How could I ever forget to mention the excelsior of life, that fine golden beverage that should be served ice cold "BEER". I priced it at a grocery store and you could get 30 cans of any popular American beer, miller caught my eye as it is my favorite for $15.99. God for a few minutes I was sure I had died and made it to heaven.

What a ride!!!!!

Whar a week this has been and not in a bad way, may everyone have a week like it and I will try to explain what I mean. This should be a long post so I will do it in 2 parts.
First I started out last Sunday October 3 by going to an Esso to buy a Sunday daily news paper from Halifax, N.S. as we have no Sunday papers on P.E.I. I also bought a super pak of 3 scratch & win tickets for $5.00 which I do once in a while to bring home to the wife to scratch as she likes them and I don't really care one way or the other. Usually she does not win or maybe $2. To $5. Than she tells me I just wasted another 5 bucks. Well to make a long story short we won $50,000.00 on the bingo card, she didn't tell me I wasted my money that Sunday. Went back to store to get ticket checked to be sure we won because it is a little hard to believe at first. Ticket was good so I came home and put some money in a card and gave it to the girl that sold me the tickets.
Bright and early Monday morn I went to Moncton, N.B. lotto office to pick up my check. Had my pic taken with the check and it is so bad I was almost tempted to give back check if they promised to delete pic. Came home and went to the bank on Tuesday and put it in an account till we decide what we want to do with it.
The money is really great but 25 years ago I would have spent at least half before I got home. It means mainly that we will be able to do a few things we could not before and have a nice rainy day fund for emergencies. One person told me that I would be able to sleep a little better nights and they don't know just how true that statement is as Mary tells me we are getting a new bedroom set. As far as being able to sleep better I know that Mary will enjoy that part of it better than I as woman seem to worry more about money than men or at least that is the way it is at our house. We will also paint & paper and do a little more traveling.
Part 2 to follow.
