On Tuesday, I hit the jackpot. In loans, I "received" $46,000.00, $39,000.00, $35,000.00, $58,000.00, $358,000.00, $57,000.00 and $48,000.00. I also received a "business proposal" offering me $21,500,000.00 to handle, evidently, as I saw fit. So eager was this person to work with me that I received the letter twice. But, I'm sure that was an error, so I am counting it just once. I also won a Euromillions lottery of 1,000,000.00, which I'm assuming would be in Euros. At today's exchange rates, that's $1,363,215.89. On Wednesday, I "received" loans in the amount of $64,000.00, $32,000.00, $482,000.00, $84,000.00, $37,000.00 and $41,000.00. I "won" the Netherlands Lottery with a prize of $250,000.00 Euros, which is $340,803.97 at today's exchange rates. I also "won" $1,500,000.00 in some other lottery. Thursday was another big day. I "received" loans for $427,000.00, $68,000.00, $67,000.00, $52,000.00, $69,000.00, $46,000.00, $69,000.00, $374,000.00 and $420,000.00. In lotteries, I "won" £950,000 ($1,916,559.07), £1,000,000.00 ($2,017,430.60) and 1,000,000 Euros ($1,363,215.89). Friday, I got jack-squat. On Saturday, I "received" a loan of $437,000.00. I was also "willed" $10,000,000.00 by someone I don't know but was sure I would do good things with the money. I "won" 1,000,000.00 Euros ($1,363,215.89) in another lottery. Also, some major computer component company was having a big promotion and I "won" 1,000,000.00 Euros ($1,363,215.89) in it. In total, for ten days (apparently I missed one Sunday), I have "received" $5,052,000.00 in loans. This could have been higher. A number of these loans were for a specific amount <em>plus</em> the amount of my total debt. So, if I counted prior loans as debt and added them to the new loans, well, I'd have quite a lot more money in loans. But, I didn't do that. I just counted the offered figure. In lottery "winnings" I have $56,317,120.38. Pretty impressive figures. Too bad that none of it is real. This will also be the end of my tabulations. It was fun and interesting these past few days. It's intriguing to see the amount of money that is offered in all these different spam and scam messages. And, those are just from the messages that managed to sneak through my spam filters. But, it also takes too much time to do this. I normally just delete spam, and with this I have had to look through each message to see the amount I was being offered or that I won. Again, interesting for a short time, but too big a time-waster to continue to do, especially since I don't especially benefit in any way. I'll leave the figures up for a while in the sidebar. Last Monday, all I “received” was a loan for $35,000.00.

I was offered 30% of a $12 million for assisting the heirs of a victim of a British train crash in moving their money out of the country. One would think it would have been in pounds or Euros, but, no, it's in U.S. dollars. So, my 30% would be $3.6 million. Again, I won the lottery. This time the British Lottery International. I "won" £1,000,000.00 which is $2,009,908.85 at current exchange rates. I also "won" $1.5 million from the Lottery International. It's great that these places have so much money to give away that you don't even need to actually buy a ticket to win! And, I also "received" a loan for $438,000.00. On Saturday…

I received two free trips on voicemail the other day and what looks like a lifetime supply of free porn via my filtered comments by Akismet. Let me know how the law firm referrals go... oh wait, I was offered my share of $30,000,000 from a Nigerian ex-dictator's treasurer. I guess that puts me up about $10 million.

I could upgrade the one I have, but doing so will only bring it up to the bare minimum requirements. I don't even have enough RAM! I bought a new RAM chip a couple months ago that would have given me the minimum amount of RAM that I need, but then one of the RAM chips (naturally, one of the larger ones) went bad, so I still ended up with less RAM than I needed, despite buying the new RAM. It's just gotten to the point where it doesn't make economic sense to put any more money into a machine that's not upgradeable to the latest stuff, and only upgradeable to the point of meeting the minimum requirements for the applications I need to run. It's better to set money aside to save up for a new one than to continue to put money into the current one. I need a newer computer for graphics work.
