Question #1:
What would you do if you won $200,000 (after taxes)?
I want you to really think about it. If you had that much money overnight how would you spend it the next day and weeks/months to come? Knowing that it will eventually run out what would be the most important things to pay for right now? Im just wondering the point of views of other people. I was fantaszing it would happen to me earlier and its been on my mind for a while. I am in a bad situation in my life right now I dont even have a place to live. And I guess I was juts hoping something good will happen to me and bail me out of this mess. Oh that would be so great! LOLGod knows I sure do need all I can get. Anyway I am very interested in all your answers and curious to know what you would write. In case you are wondering what I would do with it you can read the following:For me it would mean:
1.) Buy a place to call home for me and my daughters.....$10,000-$15,000. (I just want a nice mobile home that is decent and pretty. I know most of you think its lame but honestly i dont see anything wrong in that. Some of them are really nice!)
2.) Furniture and decor for my place......$7,000-$9,000 (I love to decorate and I think I would do a good job on this budget.)
3.) Pay off my car......$9,000 (Its about to get repossesed :( I wish I could just throw the money in thier face and tell them to leave me alone.)
4.) Pay off all other debt like student loan, credit card, and collection bills....$10,000
5.) Pay off my mother's bills and debts as well as my sisters....$20,000
6.) Help my sister pay off her house..........$25,000
7.) Buy her a used car in great condition....$5,000 (She wont mind)
8.) Help out my family in Mexico...............$7,000( My poor people they are suffering over there.)
9.) Help my closest friends......................$20,000
10.) Take a few vacations........................$10,000 ( I can make 2 happen on this budget. I would go to Hawaii and Seattle with my mom and daughters)
11.) Help animals and children through donations....... $20,000
That would leave me with $50,000 and I would save this for as long as I can and probably live off of this for a while until I find a good enough job that would keep us stable. I wouldnt go spend it all crazy because I would regret it later although I would really want another car a NEW one but for what? I already have a decent one I just need to pay it off ya know?
If this would just happen to me I would be the happiest woman in the world knowing that I everything will be ok! I wouldnt exactly have finacial freedom but i would have peace of mind! Maybe it wont last a life time or a LONG time but I know we would be ok because I would spend it responsibly. Oh gosh, and one of the best parts of this expirience would be that my daughters' father will have his jaw wide open for days! He kicked us out and spend the little bit money we (mostley mine that me and my daughters recieve from welfare) had on liqour and other women. He even traded our food stamps for cash. It would be so awsome if I was just blessed this way somehow and just throw it all in his face. Actually I wouldnt even talk to him about it. I would change my number and stay as far away from him as possible. Go to the courts and prove he doesnt care about the kids and he would just be trying to get in for the money. I wouldnt give him any because he is untrustworthy a womanizer and an alcholic. We need it more. He left us the way we are. Im sorry thats a whole other subject. Im sorry I write too much. LOL You didnt have to read it all just the top part. I just got a little carried away I guess. My bad! Ok thanks everyone in advance!

Question #4:
Where can i sell my old world stamp collection?
I have many old rare stamps from around the world. Someone stole all of the US ones out a while back... but i have alot of Canadian stamps. Many worth a few hundered dollars or more. I have a 13 Yen WMKD Japan Stamp that ive seen being sold for 1000$ on ebay. I basially have thousands in a old collector book from 1967 that are mostly on hinges. And some are used and some are not. I'd be willing to send pictures through email to any serious buyers. I will sell them for 60% of selling price, not the catalog price. Leaves plenty of room for others to make money, or buy it for thier collections cheap. I stay firm on that price also. But would be willing to make deals on bulk purchases. (I live in Auburn, Washington)Question #5:
Anyone know anything about 22kt gold stamp collections? Please help!?
I have a leather case filled with 25 22kt gold stamps of '25 of the worlds greatest classic cars' It comes with the authenticity certificate and i have looked all over google and cant find anything about it, or cant find it on ebay either. Does anyone know if this could be worth money as i think it is rare. I have seen other 22kt gold stamps which range from £1 to £150. Is there anywhere that could tell me what its worth. ThanksQuestion #6:
How can I reapply an unsent (unused) stamp? Is it legal?
I buy a USPS stamp. It comes self-stick with a peel-off back. I put it on an envelope. I end up NOT sending the envelope. Is it legal to put it on another envelope and use it? How can I get it off the original envelope (the glue is very binding) and apply it to another envelope?I know it it a federal crime to re-use a stamp that has been processed ( Click Here ). What I'm talking about are stamps that have NOT been processed. For one reason or another, I've messed up the envelope and want to use my stamp.
Most posts with this type of question have to do with the 'lick-em & stick-em' stamps or with stamps that appear uncanceled that you receive on mail. That last one is a federal crime.
And I know you can't put tape across the face of the stamp, because it messes up the canceling machines.
I've cut the unused stamps from my messed up envelope, and applied it with a glue stick or liquid glue to another envelope. The paper from the first envelope makes it obviously thicker. I've taped top & bottom edges carefully if they are sticking up.
At the post office a window employee with an attitude told me that my envelope postage looked suspicious and would be returned. I assured her they were fresh stamps.
Sure enough, it came back. So I'm out twice...unused postage on attempt one and new postage on attempt two.
It concerns me because I have quite a collection of new unused postage I've cut off bad envelopes! Yes, I try to only add postage after everything on the envelope is perfect, but errors still happen.
Question #7:
Failed court appearance?
So I got pulled over a while ago for failing to signal at a lane change. Unfortunately, I had left my insurance card at home (I live in Los Angeles, so insurance is mandatory here), and the officer forgot about the signaling, but gave me a fix it ticket and told me to go to the local CHP station with my proof of insurance. I took the citation and insurance card to the CHP station, got a signature and a stamp saying "violation corrected", and the officer said "ok, you're all set". I asked "that's it?", and he said "that's it!"So I went on my merry way, thinking this was all dealt with (I've never gotten a ticket in my life), and I didn't even think about it til about 3 weeks ago when I get a letter from the DMV stating that my license is due to be suspended, until I pay a $1000 fine for failing to appear in court. I have tried calling the court, but every time I get a message saying the line is too long "please try again later." I've called the DMV multiple times and I usually give up after 45 - 60 minutes on hold. The line at my local DMV tends to me out the door and down the street. I've called the collection agency that handles court issues and they (obviously) tell me I HAVE to pay this, and that there's no way out of it, but I don't know if I can trust a collections agency on this..
My license is due to be suspended on Saturday, and I was wondering if this is something that would even be worth spending hours and hours and hours to fight in court? I already missed my court date, so it seems like that's what I'm being fined for..
Question #8:
so i like this girl but...?
i really like this girl from my home town, i have liked her for maybe 5 - 6 years now. all through out high school she was amazing, so stunning i had the biggest crush on her, well sadly to say i wasnt much of a cool guy back then (what with me EPIC AS FUCK stamp collection) so i never had a chance with her, and i hardly fumbled a single sentence out to her in my entire teenage years.well i went away to study and work for 3 years and now i am back in my home town i saw her down the street. she actually remembered me and asked me on a date. i would be extatic but she has gained so much weight and certainly has gone on one slippery slope towards ugly bugglyness. I am not a shallow guy but i have eyes and a gag reflex and i cant deal with it, my heart says sure why not, but my head and rib cage says NO FUCKING WAY. i need some advice
Question #9:
Does your god exist? Can we can show evidence that he/she/it does not?
Note: for those who will state "who are you to tell god what to do", this is a simple answerIf your god requires me to "obey" or "worship" it and give my money to his little church then I/We/ALL people must demand evidence of it's existence and if it refuses i.e. does not obey then it should be ignored and not worshiped for it really is nothing!!!
You should ask your self why god only "proves" its existence to a hand full of people i.e. those in power or those who want power
You should ask your self why gods vanity is no more, why has he stopped creating burning bushes / parting waters or anything that would "leave evidence of his existences.....You should spend more time pondering those questions than giving money to any organization that preaches hate!
My opinion of course
For someone who says this is not Science and no way to disprove little gods then you are wrong again because the people who believe in god claim their god is
all powerful and omnipotent, (please look it up if you don't know what it means), so by making such a claim then the god should know when he is being tested and if he wishes us to follow him where he wants to lead us then he should comply or not comply and loose all belief in his abilities!!!
Here is a legitament way to provide a data point, actually many data points, that there is no god or the god you worship is not worthy of worship.
Basic Science ;-)
Belief is detrimental to rational thought and all Gods must be tested and if they fail he/she/it does not exist. If any human makes a claim about the existence of a god then extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Now we must test according to the person's claim that their little god is (omnipotent), all powerful and worthy of our worship?
------------------
The God does not exist Hypothesis's
------------------
Hypothesis: Does your God Exist?
Data Collection and Test:
This test will show either the gods/devils are not as powerful as claimed or they do not exist at all, in either case they do not deserve anyone's worship.
Here is a simple god/devil test
1. God you will post on every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category on the internet in exactly 30 seconds (GMT) after this post has been made. You will post world wide and your post will state the following:
"I am god, I exist"
A) In every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category must have the same exact time stamp based on human time GMT.
2. Mr. Devil you will post on every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category on the internet in exactly 30 seconds (GMT) after this post has been made. You will post world wide and your post will state the following:
"I am devil, I exist"
A) In every Forum, Blog, FAQ and Yahoo Answers Category must have the same exact time stamp based on human time GMT.
This simple test shows the devil does not exist and god does not exist. Furthermore, there is nothing that states we can not test the devil or god for that mater.
The bible only states its believers do not test god.
On the other hand there is nothing written anywhere that states we should not or can not test the devil so we tested both for completeness.
Note that since god and devil are two dependent deities, if we show one does not exist then the other does not exist.
Theory God does not exist
**We have shown that gods of any kind do not exit exists
**There is no god and there is no devil ;-)
Now happier times are a head for all people because there is no reason for religious people to continue hating and committing hate crimes against other groups or people.
Question #10:
I have an oak Thomasville dining table, w/ 4 chairs & 2 leaves....?
...Est 1979. How do I find a value of the table old & new?This table has been damaged by water and I need to find a replacement value for insurance purposes. I've tried asking a local retailer who carries Thomasville merchandise and contacting Thomasville directly, but both have been unable to give me an estimate.
The table is solid oak, with a laminate top. The chairs are solid oak. I contacted Thomasville and they told me the table was available from 1974 to 1982. This table has a stamp on the bottom of it from 1979. It is from the Litchfield Collection and an Early American design. Product #H3361-736.
Any idea how I can get a replacement value?

Question #15:
Selling stamps. How much should I ask for them?
I inherited a stamp collection and I want to sell. I have over 1700 stamps in mint condition, all canadian stamps. I have many people who are interested in buying the stamps but I have no clue how much to ask for it. Any ideas? Just a rough number will be fine. I am not very interested in researching every single stamp and finding its value. I just want to get them off my hands.Question #16:
Why does your religion preach hate towards fellow humans?
People are claiming that their religion teaches love, bla bla but when you read the bible it clearly does not teach good moralsIs this a good moral?
Stone thy adulterer
God smiting people for not believing in him without evidence...LOL
killing innocent children for no reason
killing everyone in the world with a great flood
Adam and Eve Incestuous relationships to populate the world
Are these really the morals you religious people believe in?
What about the Hate the bible and other religious books teach about gays, other religions i.e. the false gods which are not false to the other religions....lol
In my bible the God is love Bible states the following: and it teaches love of all poeple an sexualities
MATT 20:12 reads

Question #17:
Is anyone giving away free stamps? Do you know anyone who does?
I've just started collecting stamps and have just a few to add to my collection.I've already told my family and friend to collect stamps for me.I would like indian as well as world wide. used or unused.if you have duplicates you can give me those.Question #18:
Bought an old stack of prayer books, mostly pre Vatican 2.....questions?
I know I asked earlier but I wanted more thoughtsI went to an Estate sale where the children of a deceased person sells off their belongings to pay off debt and found thes BEAUTIFUL prayer books.
In the back of a old Saint Joseph Daily Missal I can across a section on the rosary
it says
Indulgences for saying the Rosary
a) Those who reverently recite five decades of the Rosary may gain an indulgence of 5 years
b) Those who reverently recite five decades of the Rosary in unison with others publicly or privately may gain an indulgence of 10 years, once a day.
and it goes on
what does Indulgences mean? or a plenary indulgence?
and why in a New Testiment Psalms and Proverbs book would it be printed on the opening cover THIS BOOK NOT TO BE SOLD yet there is no copywrite page or year printed, or even the name of an organization that had once distributed it? No pages have been removed, the binding is in great condition (rarely if ever used)
and not that Im planning on selling the books because I bought them for my own religious collection, but do you think are they worth anything? Some are inlaid leather stamp covers, some are illustrated with old press print quality.
Question #19:
I am being sued by a collection agency?
I live in PA. Anyone know any good links to research credit debt laws? I'm so confused. One person says they can take it straight out of my paycheck. Some say they can take it if I sell something like a car. Some say they can prevent me from buying a house or car cause they will get the money. I am receiving food stamps due to my boyfriends loss of income. Can they still do anything? I can barely keep afloat. Please help.I am being sued I got a summons to go to court next month.
Question #20:
3 franklin 1 cent stamps. Whats the difference and is #594 worth a lot?
My father passed away and he has a small stamp collection set up in a scott minuteman stamp album. I have been looking up the value and found that nobody is selling a #594 because the value could possibly be thousands of dollars. I noticed that I have 3 stamps that look the same. 578, 581, 594 all look the same. What is the difference and how do I know if #594 is really what is seems and if its worth money?As marked in the book:
