Looking To Double My Money

Jim Bauer @porwest (14704) • United States 8 Jun

I usually do not make it a point to make goals here for payouts. It just seems to make the whole thing seem like more work than fun, and it's supposed to be fun. BUT, I do like making money, even if the point here is more to have...

Making A Million Dollars

Jim Bauer @porwest (14704) • United States 27 May

Nice To Get A Little Back

Jim Bauer @porwest (14704) • United States 25 May

Of course, if you follow me, you are well aware I like to play the lottery. Yes, it is mostly a waste of money. But, there is also a chance to be a big winner that you don't have if you don't play at...

Ah, such is life. Just sitting here waiting for our UPS LTL freight guy to show up to pick up our freight shipments. Ladee, da. Gosh, I hate waiting, and it seems such a waste of time. I could be digging into an ice cold beer...
