Then, I think they should have to compensate their victims for the rest of their lives for all the heck they went through and will go through. If they don't want to do that then they shouldnt be allowed to play the lottery. They are criminals.

Quit Smoking and Don't Play The Lottery!!!

LOTTERY WIN
I know a guy who won the TX lottery several weeks ago, along with some othe co-workers - it was 12 million but after it is split up - they should each get about $200,000 - give or take (since he hasn't filed income tax in over 5 years - he may not get that much - as he filed this year - so it is a red flag) - but the whole thing is being held up because one of the men will not give his social security number to the lottery commission - i don't know what his reason is - but this is keeping all the others from their winnings. I guess it pays to know who you are doing business with - even if it is combining funds to buy lottery tickets.
So if I say I'll never win the lottery
does that mean I'll win!!!??!!!
I'll NEVER win the lottery!
Two $1 lottery tickets! :) And an agreement
nm
DH played the lottery, Pick 4, hit it
straight. What got me was he only played 50 cents, but he still won 2500. I would've played at least a dollar!! What was funny was that he had a job number and a work number that were the same number. He said that never happened in 30 years of working. Told him he had to play those four numbers for a week. Three days later, my "cheap" husband hit! I still tease him about it! and still kicking myself that I didn't play it too!! You just never know :)
Final place, unless we win the lottery! (nm)

On the occasions when I but a lottery ticket I say a
prayer that God will allow me to some day have the money to do the work I want to do with animals. They are the dearest things to my heart, each one of them. God Bless all who contribute and do what they can!!! Keep dreaming . . maybe one day. 
Did you see couple won lottery, built mansion and

Couple wins 270 million lottery. sm
South Georgia couple wins big. He only bought 2 tickets, spend $2.00 and won 270 million. They interviewed him on TV - they were living in a mobile home. So happy for them. Nice to see someone that humble and down to earth win.
Winning lottery, he took wrong move
First of all you should have things in place before letting everyone in town you have won that much money. You need legal advice, places to invest and really good help rather than letting people know. He has children and grandchildren, need to think security also not only for his family but he and his wife as well. If I won that much money I would definitely have lots of good plans in place before claiming.
After I got engarged, I played my wedding date on a lottery
and won over $400.00 and then bought a few scratch offs with the winnings and won another $50.00! I also won $500+ at a slot machine with my last 20.00 cash as I was leaving a casino after staying the weekend :) However, this was all over ten years ago and I haven't won anything since :( I AM DUE!

How to get my CD to play
Okay fellow MTers, need some help on this. Have just gotten a new CD today from high school reunion and don't have a clue as to how to play on my PC. Insert it, blinks and nothing happens. What do I do next? Thanks in advance.
You should be able to play in on the DVD...
and record it on the VHS if it is both player and recorder.
I would play..
in the symphony or else would own a zoo, the only thing being at the zoo the animals would live forever, those are my fantasies.
I don't know how it will play out but (sm)
I'm so glad he's back!! (and as himself, not as Victor, Jr. which I was afraid of). 
That won't play for me.
.
play. Cat or dog?

How do you play this? It looks like fun!
nm
Ah, I get it - let's play WHO GETS THE LAST WORD!
LMAO!!!!
Go ahead and take your little victory for the day - I know you're just itching to.
Can't wait to see your reply - and thank you for proving me correct in advance!
LMAO!!!!!
does he play sports?
Which sports does he like? Does he need equipment?
I would play it cool
If it's meant to be, it will happen.
You're not really sure he is interested. Your gut tells you he is, and he probably is, but if he is, he will definitely make the moves.
If you act to eager... well...
And, if you do call and he was just being nice with his note, then you'll feel silly (however, I'm thinking a handwritten note is pretty personal).
There are ways to let him know you're interested. Just a look works on must guys ;-).
Also, be sure he's not hitched as well!
Seriously, be patient. Just do a lot of "thinking" about him. He'll catch those vibes too, trust me!
Good luck, sweetie.
Don't play games (SM)
If you change the way you have approached this relationship just to test him, that is playing games and is unecessary.
You should be honest and ask him explaining that it kinda bothers you. If you can't communicate about things, the relationship isn't going anywhere anyhow.
Not calling him just to see how he will react is so high school people!
I'll play
Marriage - Great.
Lack of kids - I regret not having the energy, interest, selflessness, or hope and faith to have kids, but I have never felt the need to have kids. I think you are supposed to see your mom enjoying motherhood, and it appeared to me to be very unsatisfying for my mom. I can still remember the switch from playing with baby dolls to playing with stuffed animals instead.
Help with play date
About a month ago my I took my 5 yo swimming and invited one of her friends and her mom. The two girls played for a good 2 hours until another one of dd close friends showed up so she started playing with him. Well this upset dd little girl friend and she came to me saying "dd won't play with me. make her play with me. " I called dd over and said that we invited suzie over so introduce her to Joe and you all three play together. This just upset dd and made her mad at suzie. I was not sure what to do but suzie's mom said it was time to go anyway so they left.
Well, just yesterday MIL took me and dd golfing. DD met another friend and together they played. The went across the street to the playground then a friend of the other little girl showed up. Well, the other little girl dropped dd and started playing with her little friend. DD got upset adn said sandy won't play with me. I said well, I image you're feeling what Suzie felt when Joe came to the pool. DD just sat there mad. MIL said Introduce yourself to the other little girl. DD did not want to do that. Then MIL said well lets go play on the slide. DD went and played but she was still upset, she walked up to Sandy and said "I am not playing with you anymore not even at school." Sandy replys, "That is okay, I have a sister to play with." MIL told dd not to talk to Sandyl that she wasn't worth it and out loud too. (Luckily Sandy's parents were not there). I just said Oh MIL. I started talking to Sandy. I asked her if she was ready for school. Sandy and I had a nice little conversation. It kind of broke the tension between them. I am sure all is forgotten by now.
I was just wondering how other parents handle these situations. TIA
does anybody play Peggle?
I bought the full version. It's such an original game!!!
See link - play JM on your CPU

We did this play when I was in college sm
I was doing props and even backstage I had to be careful not to get too emotional about it or I would miss my cue. And that scene in the movie in the cemetary just makes me bawl. When I was 10, my aunt and 3-year-old cousin were killed in a car accident, and that movie always makes me think of her and her other child, who survived the accident. He is in his 20s now.
I play piano............. sm
but I think that would be a bit heavy around my neck! 
This is really nice. You do good work. Have you considered putting it on Etsy?
Happy Anniversary!
100% in accordance with you, our parents did not play
when it came to things like this. There are not that many kids who have medical issues to have to do this on a constant basis. I once had a child eating at my home that wanted to slurp their food and they were sent out to eat on the porch. I do not put up with this. I call to your attention and if you want to continue, then you suffer the consequences. How dare parents take up for this kind of action. This is why all these nanny shows on on today, how to handle the kids. Shame on all of you who uphold this behavior.
I think you're right - I did tell them not to play that way anymore (sm)
I told them they could hurt her and that they can't play rough with her like they do with me. I do wish she would understand that they are kids though. They haven't intentionally been mean and if they were, they would be in trouble!
Play luau BINGO
Use regular bingo cards and hawaiian colored markers - or pieces. Play for don ho recordings, leis, and coconuts
We play the dictionary game. (sm)
You can buy it, but all you really need is a dictionary, pieces of paper and pencils, and a bunch of people who are good at making stuff up.
The way we play it, not only does the person who chose the word and tricks people get points for each person he tricks, but anybody whose wrong answer gets voted for collects points too. It's hilarious.
We play also but call it Turkey Leg. It really is fun. nm
!
he wants your attention; take an hour and play with him

I think that's what happens when you play a "role" geared toward sm
satanic principles. He was filming the new Batman and played the Joker who was a murderer, satanic, without a conscience. It was said that Heath really took this role personally - keeping him up at night, only sleeping 2 hours a night because of nightmares and constantly "thinking about the role." He overdosed on sleeping pills.
Drat, there goes again, cant play video(EOM)

Iced Tea. Work or play.

Just to play devil's advocate...
there are many women who LIKE to play the victim, poor me, I sacrifice all the time role. IMHO, this is a lot of psychobabble designed by women to further their status as the downtrodden gender. No one can MAKE you not take care of yourself first; you choose to do that to yourself. It doesn't take a genius (or Oprah) to figure out that if you do for others all the time and are not taking the time to take care of yourself that you are eventually going to wear thin and fall apart. Too many women on anti-whatever drugs (anxiety, depression) who can't figure out how to go through day to day existence without mother's little helper pill. It only stands to reason that if you try to be perfect you will fail; something will be neglected in the long run. Deal with it, do the best you can and don't be a doormat. If you fill your face with junk all the time and are fat and don't exercise, that is nobody's fault but your own. If you try to do it all and don't ask for help, that too is your own fault. Women today have it much easier than other generations did. My mother-in-lawr raised 4 boys, worked on the family dairy farm, cooked 3 meals a day and cleaned every day and never thought twice about it. We are spoiled compared to that!
Can a kid with really bad eyesight play football?
My boy, Eddie, is seven years old. He has retinitis pigmentosa and gradually worsening decreasing vision. His vision without glasses is 20/200 and best corrected is 20/60. He does pretty well with baseball, especially after he had the bilateral rectus recession surgery and now both eyes are working together.
Tomorrow, however, is supposed to be football sign-ups, and I've been going back and forth about getting him involved or not. He's not all the way sure if he wants to do it either. I talked to some moms today, and they explained to me how grueling this five-day course of "conditioning" is. They described to me that most kids throw up from being overworked and go home crying. Doesn't sound like the best way for me to spend $45. He's not the toughest kid on the block, or any block for that matter, and I really don't know which way to go here. Any advice, football moms?
If he can play baseball with his vision...
he can play football with it. You need to see better for baseball.
Trust me, they don't have to be tough to play football. The first couple times they get hit, you can see how scared they are. Then the actually realize those pads really DO stop it from hurting...and some of our littlest ones turns into the most aggressive ones.
Football is hard work though, and the training is more difficult than the other sports. My husband coaches baseball, basketball and football for kids (12 and under). They do work a lot harder and they're pretty exhausted after football, but if it really is to the point where they are all throwing up and crying, you have bigger worries. You need a new program director!! I know that's not what you're asking about, but that's just not right for kids that young to be worked that hard. How can they possibly learn to love the sport from that?
Dr. Feel here, (not really a dr just play one on this forum)...sm
The only true advice I can give you without knowing you and your situation personally is if you love this man and it is a good marriage, talk to him and figure out the problem. Don't waste time being mad over something that does not involve you and him, or fix what is wrong if it does. My husband, whom I had been with for 20 years, was killed a little less than 2 years ago, and I would give just about anything to have him here to argue with about those sillly things in life or even the really important things.
I'm so clueless, I wanna play......how??? :( nm
nm
I saw a VERY sportsmanship play by the Steelers.
nm
As I said if you cannot play nice don't bother - sm
to comment.....I know I did a lot of things wrong...don't need salt poured in my wounds.
Is this a play on words from Auntie Em from Wizard of Oz?

Two can play their game. Start nagging them.
Call them daily. Ask to speak to supervisor, then their supervisor, etc. You become the pest. It's not easy, but it may work.
You could hire an attorney, but try the above first. Good luck.
Onto NY Eve - do we go out, host a party, or play it dull

Ms. Mary Mack!! My kids still play that one!
And they run up to the ice cream truck still and there is a sponge bob ice cream with gum ball eyes or something. Davy Jones! I still have a crush on him, my sis-in-law is president of his fan club, and she got to meet him at Disney once (sounds like Brady Bunch's Marcia). LOL. You are right, things have gotten stressful. But then again, I remember my dad talking about WWI and the depression and having to deliver blocks of ice to people. Though, it seems to me even there were hard times then, people seemed to still be happier than we are today. Seems like things changed after 911, at least to me. I try to keep my kids sheltered (I know that is terrible), but my 7 year old is in love with girls, my 8 year old knows all the pirate words already and all 3 of my kids including the 10 year old could probably tell me things I did not even want to know until the third year of college. My goodness! I am sounding like gasp, My Mother! LOL.
just go, forget this child play and really, really enjoy ----
yourself without him. He'll change his tune.
If you allow this behavior and kiss pratt for it - you'll have to do that whatever and whenever the whim suits him.
agree with other poster - he he can't put himself aside for a couple of hours for your sake and the sake of the whole family...then it is he the problem.
