What Would I Do With $220 in Savings? ~ Funny You Should Ask...

Years ago, while studying the laws of supply and demand in college, I quickly learned this concept. Let's face it, we all survived on that great smelling gooey crud that came to us in cardboard boxes at ungodly hours of the night...

As we got older, paperwork and paper shuffling started taking on a new meaning. Tomato and pepperoni stained term papers, although frowned upon by the prof, were often accepted a few days late. Today, everything needs to be on-time and perfect.

We all like to save money. And we know that expenses can quickly mount especially with printers going through ink faster than Pac Man eats dots. Now you can try filling the cartridges yourself but what a bother. Not much of a saving when you make a huge mess...

Okay, so what would I do with $220 dollars in savings? Well...

Scott. Want to know something scary? I wonder about me too sometimes...

Ernie, Thanks. I hope I do too...

If I win, I will give it to a local charity that helps families with children in Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. For some, this will be the last Christmas that they will spend together as a family...

Michael-I'd be afraid to come to a party with you and Craig for fear of what you would do with any pictures taken at the party :-)

Michael, you're going to need to win this contest several times over to make that work. Maybe you should use your winnings to make a trip to the Atlanta RainCamp and join the party. Wait, that won't work. The Atlanta RainCamp is as the contest is ending, and I have it on strong instincts that the check will be sent to CT.
