I would like to hear an accurate account of how you went from being semi-poor to rich.

When you say rich, what exactly do you mean by rich? Like Parents make 100 grand+ a year, or like Millionaire rich?

Onto another topic...

I don't know if you get FX in Canada or not, but it's a fox network. There is this new show called "Rescue Me" which stars none other than our good friend Dennis leary. Wow. He's actually a good actor. Anyway it's like Hilarious one second then dramatic then hilarious then dramatic... You get the picture?! Anyway it comes on Wed. at 10 PM EST.

It's great. It's one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

*sigh*

My dad worked for a BC company who got bought out by an american company. Since he no longer had the job with the first company, he had an option to take out his pension. But he also had a thing in the contract or whatever when he was hired, that when he took out his pension, it would be doubled.

Plus upon the recieving of the money they( parents) put stocks in a Newfoundland ( i think) fishing company, which has since quintupled the invested amount.

My dad doesnt make 100 grand a year ( as far as i know) but hes up there somewhere. My mom doesnt work.

And they wont tell me the exact amount of the money we have, but i know its more than a million. This is including the money we had before.

I hope this has helped to answer your question.

EDIT: I just got the new Hives CD, and im super happy!!!!

I'm glad for you.

You're so rich.

Buy me The Killer's album Hot Fuss.

ok don't really.

I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE...

It's killing me.

OMG what if that's their plan? To kill me by making me never find their album? Maybe it doesn't even exist?

Oh

PS You're too rich, now I hate you.

Being rich is kind of a double edged sword I guess. You have money, which is what everyone wants, but if you use it other people get jealous. I know, because a friend of mine recently got into lots of money and now I'm so pissed that she can get anything she wants while I have to save up to buy a $20 video game which I still don't have

I have known about The Killers for a long time. Now they're suddenly popular, which is good for them I guess, but bad for me as I can't find it anywhere!

Ive been looking for that CD for months and cant find it.



( The Bassist or Lead guitarist in the "Somebody told me" video looks kinda like a chick...)
