Fertile, Rich and now Drunk - $3.7 Million US
April 1, 2008 – 8:19 pmFertile, Rich, and now Drunk
Ya know, I still can’t believe it even though I am very very drunk. Aimee is not because earlier today we found out we are having twins. One boy and one girl. Ok, we were almost sure it was twins but seeing the ultrasound was confirmation. Two kids, one penis. Now the downside being that if it had been two boys the testosterone to estrogen level would be balanced in my home. One and one and the men are still falling behind. I had wanted to be there for the ultrasound, but one of us had to watch the kids and Aimee was the only one who could bring the twins to he doctor.
We were scared to death. There was no way we could afford two new kiddos, abortion just isn’t our thing, and although adoption is a beautiful choice we couldn’t imagine having two kids and putting two more up for adoption. It just didn’t seem fair. Well, it turns out me staying home with the kids was a good thing because I doubt the lawyer would have left the message on our answering machine.
3.7 million dollars. That is $3,700.000.00 (oh my fingers are tired from all those zeros) has been offered by someone we were suing and we are accepting it. After the lawyer takes his third and taxes are taken out, well we are not only set for life. In the course of half an hour, I went from being scared to death about money to seeming like a rich Catholic family. Maybe we need to move to Upper Arlington. Just kidding.
In fact, we are thinking very seriously about a piece of property in Southern Ohio. It has a huge house that looks kind of like a castle and a hundred + acres. We have been dreaming about opening our own festival grounds, having a bunch of month long festivals each year, one with a European Renaissance Festival, A Viking Festival, A Wild Wild West festival, and so on and so forth. Basically, any time period and culture which we can work a blacksmith into. No kidding, I might even go out and buy a set of six shooters tomorrow. I am already looking at my leather stock and wondering if I can make a good set of holsters and a pistol belt.
Wooo fucking hooooo!!!

You know you are very lucky! This is the kind of stuff people dream of. Well I and Starfire have any way. We would have loved to have twins and to have the money to do our craft as we would like to do.
Hmmm I wonder how many are going to be bitchy to ya now…..LOL
Just be sure to invest and live off the interest. If you live like you don’t have the money you and your kids will be set for life.
Congrats and enjoy!

You should be ashamed of yourself! Here we were SO happy for you. Not just for the money that would help you with your health problems and help your family, but for the new little ones that you would be blessed with!
This is the reason why people give you so much crap. Did you once think about the people who care about you and your family? No you didn’t did you.
Yes I am a bit upset.
Starfire has decided to turn gay so I am left sitting here wondering what I am going to do now.
Then I see a bright spot for someone and it isn’t true!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
