prose Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 This Friday the local radio station was doind a contest, all you had to do was answer your phone by saying "I listen to Joe" intead of hello if they called you. So, Chad called and reminded me that if I saw a private number on the phone to answer that way. 4:45 pm. The phone rings. private number. I answer... "hello?" gah! It was them and I lost $10000. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! I lost it with one word. I keep going over and over it in my head. I just want to cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T-Bone Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Oh well. It wouldn't have made you happy in the long term. Easy money never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prose Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 If it came with a cheque it would help a lot! lol j/k I was actually thinking that I would use this experience to do a youth talk about being ready for God's call. Another funny note: Last month, I entered a different radio contest, won like $500 in spa stuff if I called in in time, and heard about it the second my 15 minutes were up. So I missed that prize too!! I am the luckiest unlucky person I know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prose Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 It really does. It really does. Money may only be a tool, but it is much easier to work with a power saw than a handheld one. And man. I would have loved a power saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
