Friday Five

From ailsaek, who got it from orny

You have just won one million dollars:

Whom do you call first?

My wife, Irene.

What is the first thing you buy for yourself?

The custom opal wedding ring from Bill Plattes that we've been lusting after.

What is the first thing you buy for someone else?

For Irene, the custom opal wedding ring from Bill Plattes that we've been lusting after.

Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?

Probably? Chances are we'd throw some money at the kids' post-secondary educations

Do you invest any? If so, how?

After paying off all the current debt (hey, that's an investment!), we'd invest whatever's left where Irene says we should - money is her area of expertise and responsibility! It wouldn't be anywhere near enough to retire, but it would supplement nicely.

This week

I've been feeling somewhat low energy recently. Tried to enroll in a Phase IV Blood Pressure Medicine [1] study this week, and may have gotten a hint as to why.

They said, "Not right now"

( Here's why! )

[1] - for altruistic and selfish motives - I'm willing to put some energy into being a guinea pig, especially if it doesn't take much time. Getting paid $100 + three months of free high blood pressure meds satisfied the selfish motives nicely.
