    I wish we could set up a big meet and greet! Find somewhere and see who can come. As I know traveling can be difficult with some of us I understand that the logistics of it all are probably not possible but ... a girl can dream. It would be so nice to have a big party!

    When some here wins a big lottery, and wants to splurge we could all meet somewhere on a nice cruise for a week retreat. Hire a couple speakers and make it tax deductible.

    Yeah, as long as its only US on the cruise..... we need to be careful with cruises.

    Nikki, you must be feeling better to be suggesting a party!

    Big companies and organization do it all the time in chartering a yacht just for their use. With enough money some one could even buy the boat if needed and create a floating Weggie hospital for us all. I know of one boat that just does operations for mainly dental deformities in poor countries and they use donated staff time to do so at least according to the fund raiser blurb they sent me.

    "When some here wins a big lottery, and wants to splurge we could all meet somewhere on a nice cruise for a week retreat"

    My parents always buy me and my wife 2 lottery tickets every week. Last year, while we were on holiday, they continued buy our weekly tickets. When we returned, we popped down to their house with a few gifts from Spain. My Dad calmly said, "Oh, here's your tickets for while you were away". He put teletext on TV and went to the lottery results page. I got the hint and checked the numbers - we had 5 (the UK lottery pays out on 3, 4, or 5 numbers, with 6 being the Jackpot). I was so excited. I knew it wouldn't be millions, like the jackpot, but guessed about £100,000 or at least £10.000's.
    We had had the house on sale for months without much interest and I thought, at last we can reduced the asking price and have enough left over to get a nice house with a garden (we don't have any out door space at the moment). It turned out that we had won £1,500 give or take a few pounds. It was still a lot of money for us, but not enough for me to organise a worldwide Weggie party, or a new house.
    Please don't think I wasn't grateful, as I was.

    All you needed was about five more zeros and it would have worked.
