I would like to say I would do something altruistic, but the first thing I would do would be to book all the travel I've been yearning to do for so many years. Okay, I would pay for a lawyer to come with me to take down all the particulars about legacies, but travel is what I would hit first.

A '73 Camaro? Awesome. My first car was a '78 Hurst Olds. My dad was a gearhead.
And yeah, I'm afraid of dying in the poorhouse (i.e., county nursing home) too. I guess by the time I get to that point, I probably won't be aware of what's going on ... I hope.
Thanks for playing along! I think we need to gang up on Zella. :)
Hey - I can year you, you know :)
I, too, worry about what will happen to me when I'm old...but I'm convinced I will win the lottery before then and all my problems will be solved. Yours too, if you're by buddies, haha !
7-Yes God and the angels were there many times for me. When my dad was in the hospital for alcoholism I was the only person that could take charge and the hospital threatened to throw him out every day. I remember getting in my car every morning for 16 days and praying for God to send the Angels and he sent them. Every day.
