Life's been getting me down , I won't go into details but if you knew why you'd agree that I have every right . I will say that right now I'm very poor , I wouldn't be able to be online were it not for the kindness of others .

So I decide to see if I can think of anything to be thankful for .
I made a friend here at ATS so right there is one thing . It's been months since my girlfriend tried to kill me so there's another .

I think back , it wasn't that long ago that I got my very first computer , it was given to me , again the kindness of others so I suppose so I ought to include that in my list . Imagine my surprise when the very first website I go to informs me that I am the 1,000,000th visitor to that site ! How lucky is that ? I mean what are the odds? Only a few sites later it happens again !

Over the next next few months it must have happened a thousand times , I was offered computers (which I already had) credit cards (which are trouble to a guy in my position) and I think even some Russian girls . (tempting, but read the part about my girlfriend again) My point is that the odds are so great that if I hit like that for months in Las Vegas I'd be rich enough to hire Bill Gates to mow my lawn .

But after after a few months my great good luck runs out . I go a few years with hardly anything good happening , getting older with failing health doesn't do much to cheer me up, and neither do mailers I start getting trying to sell life insurance and informing me that it will cost me between 10,000 and 15,000 dollars to die .

It suddenly hits me, if it's going to cost me at least ten grand to die then it's not gonna happen , because there is no way that I'm going to be able to come up with that kind of money . So I cannot die! I can't afford it .

Maybe every cloud does have a silver lining if you look really hard .

Answers to the man lucky.



I guess it's only matters on, how you look at life.

I just did a bit of work around the house, came back to ATS to see what was going on, and guess what?
First thing I see as the screen lights up is I'm the 999,999th visitor to some site and been selected to test a brand new I Pad 2 !
Guess you were right, you apparently have luck to spare since some of it rubbed off on me .

Hey my friend!

When life gets ya down...you definitely have to look at a the bright side. And yes that is very hard at times.

I like to say that things could always and forever be worse.

Oh and I don't think any of us poor folk can afford to die. I know I sure can't afford it...so I can't die either!!

Good day to you sir thudpuddy!

Peace and love
Nat

You might be quite lucky, but I think that you took 2nd place after this guy.....if I were him, I would have walked straight into a store after this to buy a lotery ticket.



Talk about a lucky star!!!

Just remember that whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

Never ever give up on life my friend. No one ever said that life would be easy, but it has been said that it was definitely worth living!
