Make a plan how best to use the money (different from just spend) which would include plans already waiting for such luck,..Involving for instance,.solar passive projects to develop prototypes which could set a new global standard,.not just in architecture,..but as a definition of sorts,.as to where the line is,..in terms of sustainable human habitation on this planet.This would be 'profitable' in what i see as the true definition of the word..Therefore it would form up into a socio-cultural wave,.bringing us all,.one step closer,.to the vision..The vision,that is,..of a world where money itself,.is in fact irrelevant...My only question would be..."What took you so long?"

WondersBeyondOurG alaxy	Posted Aug 13th, 2009 at 6:36AM I'd try to keep the crocodile tears away, thank him/her profusely, ask if I could give em a hug, and then go bawl my eyes out! After that I'd pay off all bills, my parent's bills, pay for college, and whatever's necessary. I'd never forget that person, I'd tell my kids and grandkids about that person. Rated: +1Vote for this!
