Solo, your comment about heating up the oxygen reminded me of this trick I learned as a kid. Take a saucer and fill it with some water. Then take a match and stick it in some chewed gum so you can stand it upright in the middle of the saucer. Light the match and put a glass over it. Soon, as the oxygen burns up, the vacuum is created and the water will suck up into the upside down glass! It's a very impressive simple trick to show to kids. And it totally illustrates what you were referring to with the cupping. |

Ooo, I WOULD have a live in masseuse! And custom made bras, I'm sure I'm not wearing the proper size but I can't afford the fancy bra shops so I just go with what I think is as close to right as possible. I'd also want to live somewhere that's warm year round. My inner Mexican cries every time it snows. No nannies for me, I'm not against them I'm just not planning on having kids and it seems silly to bring in help to watch the cats |

Ooo, ya. Travel, I'd travel lots. Thx for reminding me Robin. |

My mother uses the cupping technique to relieve achy muscles when her back is sore. It's quite common in Vietnam, and she does it herself...well my dad does it for her as she can't see or reach her own back. I remember watching them when I was little. She has a dozen or so baby food jars that she washed and saved. She sits upright on the bed. Nurse Dad takes a small wadded up piece of paper towel or other fast burning paper, lights it on fire, drops it in the baby food jar, and immediately puts it against her back while the paper is still burning. As the flame burns out, it creates a suction. Once all the jars are in place, my mom would lie down on the bed and relax for a bit before pulling the jars off. 32 years together and Dad has never once burned her, lol. She claims it works wonders, but it did leave red circles on her back for a day or two. |

As for being filthy, stinking rich...I agree with Robin in that I wouldn't want a house too big or a car too flashy. But I think I'd have my own landscaper. I'd love to have a pretty lawn and flower bed and such, but my thumbs are far from green. I just don't have the patience or skill...or knowledge to grow pretty things. Even though I love them so. |

Oooh, and I honestly think I would go for that laser hair removal thing so I'd never have to shave my legs again. Yup. Definitely. |

Baldur would not get a housekeeper, oddly I've never minded doing that type of thing. Having someone underfoot would be annoying unless they were like house elves, and never seen. |

I would also add more windows to my home and all sorts of extra insulation |

Actually Baldur, I was thinking of hiring you as my handyman/landscaper if I had limitless income. Of course I know I'd have to live near you for that, I can't imagine you commuting to my tropical island every day. |

Where did I leave my pith helmet? |

Funny, Dragon, I was thinking the same thing about hiring Baldur if my income was limitless. But I'd like him to be my personal chef. And my bead curtain decorator. |

Now that's interesting ... it wouldn't have occurred to me that if I had a bust reduction, I would get relief from neck and lower-back pain. As from today I'm saving ... where did I put the piggy-bank. |

LOL at the thought of Login's breast reduction/landscaping fund in the making! |

If I was rich, I'd live in a trailor, buy myself some contacts, buy as many cats as I could carry out of the humane society, a maid to clean up after them (baldur), and probably a couple riding horses. Maybe 80 acres of land to ride them to. |
