"Lingering effects of a cold have me watching more television than usual. There appears to be a resurgence of the old daytime staple--the quiz show. Except they are on during prime time, and a great many of them offer the chance of winning one million dollars.
I think it started with Regis Philbin and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" but now we have a half dozen or so.
My husband and I started musing (after watching "Deal or No Deal") about what we could do with a million dollars. I thought I'd just bring that discussion into the Friday Five this week. It's simple. What are five things you would want to do with a million dollar deposit in your bank account?"
1. Pay off all my kids' student loans, and fund any further education they need or want.
2. Finish our basement and add a dumbwaiter to bring groceries, etc. up from the basement-level garage.
3. Travel.
4. Give more charity to the many worthy organizations I can't afford to support now.
5. When my cybercompanions on the DorothyL list publish new books, buy them.

Yeah, I could use a dumbwaiter too! Though I would prefer mine to look like George Clooney as he hauls my groceries shirtless.
Great list.
Nifty play

My rich cousin in Texas HAS a dumbwaiter in her garage up to her kitchen. :-)
I especially like the dumbwaiter idea too. Nice play.
The dumbwaiter is a GREAT idea!
And to answer your question over at my place, we probably have room for the piano in our current place, but the dining room table would have to go. :)
1. buy a house. with cash.
2. start a college fund for our little guy.
3. give 10% to our favorite charities (church, seminary, HRC...)
4. a week in an oceanfront room somewhere warm for c in february 2009 (it's so grey and rainy here then).
