At least it’s bedtime here. I’ll listen to Spooky podcasts (coast to coast with George Noory) for an hour and hopefully fall asleep.
I won the equivalent of $4 in the lottery, and got an email on my phone to tell me about it as I play online, and it woke me up last night.
Pretty pathetic logging into your lottery account thinking you could have won millions to see about $4.
Admit it a lottery win wouldn’t make you happy. A lot of us are in the same boat. I remember that cartoon of the depressed person thinking of ideas which will solve his problems.
It would sure make me happy. And it would also stop me from being unhappy. Two years ago I was routinely checking my bank accounts online and I expected to see a balance of $50 or $60. Much to my surprise, I saw that Social Security had given me a direct deposit of $12,000 without telling me!
I thought it was a huge mistake so I called the Social Security Administration and they told me the money was back pay that they had owed me and I could spend it any way I wanted to while still collecting my monthly check from them and I could still keep my earning from my part-time job. If that ain’t a sweet deal than I don’t know what is.
I was ecstatic. Having that money didn’t solve all my problems but it sure solved a lot of them. And I was happy when I bought a box set of Aerosmith CD’s and I was happy when I took my sisters to see Sheryl Crow perform live for $350.00. I lived like a schizophrenic king for about a year from that money, lol.
Come on Everhopeful, you won money. That’s a good thing. Have you changed your phone settings so it doesn’t send notifications when you’re asleep? on iphone, we have the little moon icon that turns off all notifications, texts, and phone calls.
Oh is that what that’s for. Yesterday I was woken up 57 times by my phone. Thanks for the tip
It would indeed make me very happy!! 
It’s actually interesting, what @MrWhite said. Every time I’m like “if I only had this I would be so happy” and every time I actually get the desired thing I continue to be unhappy. According to Jacques Lacan though human’s life is a never ending chain of desiring…without the possibility that it could ever be interrupted and changed.
Maybe we should just embrace the moment when the happiness is happening…just feel it you know, and let go of wish to make it permanent.
Sorry for the much philosophy yo
