We thought about those, but our lawn is all clay so we need to core it or it's not going to do anything

You know you can make your own pots if you bake that stuff?

That's the only way it is going to do any good for us too.

Sunday night's thoughts on returning to work tomorrow is such a bummer. I should buy a lotto ticket.

I'm working now...

I can't actually say that I wouldn't be working right now even if I did win the lottery.

Most lottery winners end up in worse shape after winning than before. And the phone calls never. ever. stop.

Me being dutch, I'm distantly related to 3/4's of the entire illinois/iowa/michigan/indiana region.

I'd have to use the money to set up a call center

Money is in enabler, it accentuates a person, both the good and the bad...

This is not true. Like anything else you hear the horror stories while the success ones stay silent. I watched a video on this topic not long ago (a YouTube rabbit hole situation) and only 12 to 15% of the winners of large prizes end up worse off afterward. Most of those were people that had no money at all before the win and had absolutely no idea how to manage money. It wasn't so much that the "wasted" it but more of a thought process there was so much it would never all be gone.
Those that were a bit more savoy actually made more money from their winnings. Most of course were someplace in the middle where they didn't lose it all and just lived comfortably.
Yes the common complaint was people constantly asking for a piece of the pie but most said that they could deal with that just by saying no.

Yep. I used to listen to a few financial guys on the radio and they all say the same thing; win the lottery and you have to learn to say NO.

I'm also trying to make sure my dad is OK. He doesn't express his feelings much but this is one of the few times I've seen him be openly upset and tear up a bit. We are extremely close and honestly I consider him one of my best friends so I am making sure he has support too. Next year is their 50th wedding anniversary, but we aren't letting this news stop any planning for that celebration at this point.

Our immediate and extended family pretty much all live within an hour of each other so we are all rallying around her for support. She is definitely not alone in this.

Thanks for the kinds words and thoughts everyone. It's going to be a battle but we will stay as positive as we can.
Mom is in for a lumpectomy on April 22. 4-6 weeks to heal and then they will determine if further treatment (radiation most likely) is necessary.

Her latest appointment with oncologist went very well... confirmed it is very small and caught early and that her lymph nodes are clear.

It's not over yet but this news is good context for moving forward, and has provided some relief for everyone.

Other good news is both my parents got their first vaccine dose on Saturday...

Had a funny debate w my mom. I've sent her baby pic to her which was taken yesterday saying "1 month old". She said "Today is 1 month". I replied "No, today is 1 month & 1 day".

Who's right? Me? My mom?

My search technique is letting me down...I can't find a guide on the forum for routing the wiring for a back-up cam attached to a new head unit. Has anyone done a thread/guide on this that someone could point me toward?
