I think of this questions every time I buy a lottery ticket. I would first take care of my family and friends. I would definitely quit my job, I would still want to work but hopefully at something that I would enjoy (whatever that would be). I would treat myself to some time at one of those rich and famous spas (let some take care of me for a change). I would travel (first class of course). And than I would find a place to live (maybe someplace with an ocean view) and I would try my best to be happy.
What wouldn't I do? I would never spend $10,000 on an ugly handbag (people with too much money spend ridiculous amounts of money on things I won't wear if they gave them to me free). Also, I would never try to buy friends or love.

I can't believe how much I agree with MAC in the things I would and wouldn't do with a million bucks! As for the things I would do for a million bucks, I don't mind being run down by Yankee Racers. ;D Actually I would pay to be run down by the one with Owen or Wes on it. ;D ...Seriously, I would do anything to get a million dollars as long as it is legal and doesn't harm anyone. I would run around my town naked. ...Hold on, that's illegal! But omgess, if I had the choice of getting a million dollars or meeting Owen again, I would choose to meet Owen again. Wouldn't you?

Great answers!
I agree with you too - about what I would/would not do for a million.
I think I'd do almost anything - as long as it's legal, not unhealthy, and does no harm to anyone or anything.
Except for the eating part - I'm not quite as bold there. If I have to eat something disgusting, may I first see the million? May I hold it? Smell it? And as far as eating goes - make it vegetarian please.

Well, I can't think of anyone I'd rather see O end up with than one of you fine ladies from this board.
Gotta be realistic - at my age - I am a long shot as a mate for O. A long shot at best!
But I can dream, can't I? Yeah, dream ON. LOL

First, on getting the million, I would not do anything like on fear factor simply because I'm the biggest wimp in the world when it comes to eating slugs and cow balls. That isn't worth a million bucks, I'm sorry. Anything else that's legal and doesn't hurt anyone I would do. After I receive the million, depending on when I get it, I would pay for my own wedding rather than my dad paying for it. I would also help out anyone I know in debt. Then, let's be honest, I would take a first class trip to L.A. and New York City for a shopping spree.

Dream on, dream on, dream on!!!!! omgess, you are so right, with a million dollars, I can live in Santa Monica or go to all the premieres in the world and see Owen again... By the way everyone...about eating horrible things...being Japanese, I can eat fish eyes. No problem. I have eaten them. Many times. ;D The bit behind the eyes is the juiciest. ;D ;D

Bunnypanda, you are just the sweetest thing for saying that. I think I'm going to cry. Sniff.
That's interesting about the fish eyes. What do they taste like? And don't say they taste like CHICKEN. LOL! Also, what is the texture like?

P.S. I should not have said DISGUSTING. Disgusting is in the EYE of the beholder. Sorry, guys. Couldn't resist saying that.

The texture? Pretty wet and gooey actually ;D No, you don't have to eat it! You can give it to me!!! It's usually a bit salty but doesn't taste much, it disappears in the mouth in a few seconds. What's really tasty is the bit behind the eyes! A bit oily and juicy I am talking about the relatively small fish's eyes though. I haven't challenged the ones of salmons or tunas. They are a bit too much for even Japanese people...!

Bunnypanda, that's really cool. I promise that whenever we eat together, you may have all my share of the fish eyes. LOL!

What would I do for a million bucks? I think the question should be what wouldn't I do? I'd eat fish eyes, heck I'd probably eat a cockroach, too, if it really came down to it . Excuse me while I spew Everytime someone asks that question I think of Winston Churchill who (reportedly) asked a woman if she'd sleep with him for a million pounds. The woman said "Yes", and he said "Okay, will you sleep with me for 10 pounds?". The woman got all offended and screeched "Of course not, I'm not a prostitute!". Winston merely grinned and said "We'd already established you were a prostitute, I was merely haggling over the price".

I suffer from anxiety in quite a big way, so I would probably be extremely picky about what I would do- but sleep with, ooh, say Owen for a million? I'd sleep with him for £10! Heck, I'd even pay him!

I guess I need to reword my question though. I meant what would you do to WIN a million and what would you not do to win a million (rather than what would you DO with a mill.)? Omgess, It is not that you need to reword your question, apparently, I need learn to read the words that are written. (I use to do the same thing in school - I lost more points on tests that way.) After giving your question some though, I come to the conclusion that there is not much I’d be willing to do (or could do) for a million dollars. I can’t swim – so I can't do anything involving water. I’m afraid of heights – so I can’t jump out of a plane or scale the highest mountain. I don’t like creepy crawly things – so I wouldn’t do anything involving bugs, rats, spiders or snakes. I afraid of my own shadow – so I wouldn’t be willing to spend the night in a haunted mansion or in the woods by myself. I’m not willing to make a fool of myself – so that eliminates all of the reality shows and I definitely would not be willing to marry Michael Jackson and have his child. So, it looks like I'm destined to spent my life as poor person. Hey guys, remember your old pal MAC when you are millionaires.

A million US is still a heck of a lot more than a million NZ. You're right though, I'm upping the stakes. I'd eat a cockroach for 10 mil, and no less

I think if someone offered me $10 million about the only thing I would be willing to do would be stand there patiently while they wrote out the check and then say thank you of course.
