Because I sincerely hope that someone frequenting the FRee Republic website wins the power ball drawing tonight, especially a monthly donor and because that winner will be an (almost) instant billionaire, I am offering some sound advice on how to handle the situation.
I understand that geodesic dome structures are quite strong but the choice of material to clad the framework with would have a lot to do with whether or not it would withstand a tornado. I suspect a semi dropped on it would do some serious damage even if the wind didn’t.
Darn! not my numbers boohoooo
I read through your whole post before I saw who wrote it. No surprise, someone with smarts and common sense, consistent over the years I’ve “known” you. You have it EXACTLY right.
There was a well off man from Santa Barbara, CA who I believe was in some kind of finance. He won the lottery. Don’t remember how much, but a lot. He and his wife fixed up their house the way they wanted, each got a new (but normal) car, and each year they took a vacation where they wanted to go. Everything else was invested diversely and they kept their jobs (not sure she had a job). They just went on living the same way, but that security was peace of mind, and I’m sure it would be nice to say, “Tokyo? Let’s go this spring.”
I hope someone like you wins.
Same-Same. Best to ya’
Okay, thanks! That fixes it for me. I’ll just let my mother claim any lottery winnings—after all, she’s reimbursing me ten bucks for buying “her” tickets, LOL.
I still have to go to work tomorrow....
Agreed.
Yeah yeah yeah.......
I won $4. It only cost me $54 to win that. LOL. Oh well. I splurged.
Ping, I’m anxiously awaiting my win ;)!

According to USAMega.com, they’ll announce IF there were winners and what states they were in within the next couple hours.
Until they officially announce, assume somebody won.
That’s what I caught off the net. You may be right though.
Wow....I just said to hubby...wonder if there were NO winners, tonight.
This is incredible!
Yay!! Another chance :)
Someone tweeted that there were no winners. However, the official sites online are still showing “Pending”. Wait and see....
