Blogoratti June 05, 2015

Quote of the day: 
The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend. -Chuck Palahniuk

Anthony Perosi (pictured on the right), with his son after winning $136 Million powerball jackpot, with cash value of $88.5 million. Anthony, a plumber in the US says he wants to keep working -but also plans to relax a little more. He also decided to share the winnings with his son at a ratio of 70-30.

    That weekend getaway looks gorgeous! And best of luck to the plumber. You hear so many stories of folks winning the lottery and then going bankrupt after mismanagement.

    I think I'd be willing to settle for 30%, for sure. What an incredibly small frog. We saw one hop off into oblivion a few days ago that was almost imperceptible in size. The tree house getaway is pretty awesome.

    Thanks for stopping by my site!

    Just when it is thought that all species have been discovered, a tiny tiny frog proves them wrong.

    That delightful vacation home would become a permanent home for me. We are preparing to move, downsize, and would love a green home.

    WOW! That sure was a lucky win! I bet he won't keep working long, though. He'll be working with a ton of jealous people, I fear.
