My definition of millionaire, I realise, wasn't >=$1M in assets, but that they grossed at least a mil a year. The relatives that I have that are millionaires (by my terms) are small business owners + doctors with their own practice.

What are simple wages? Does that mean no investments or lottery wins?

Uh...no need to answer right away. I have to go pop some pills and burrow under covers. I have no clear plan for surviving tomorrow, except the knowledge that if I don't make it through the day, I don't get to the nerve block.

aurelia, ow. Want a Percocet? I haven't needed one for a couple of days, touch wood.

ita, I hope you have had a restful night's sleep before reading this. Best thoughts for getting through and getting what you need today.

Heh. I don't have anything stronger than Advil. The right shoulder is just muscle soreness that will go away. I would very much like to trade in the left shoulder though.

I went to sleep a short while after I got home, and just woke up a litle while ago.

This seemed like a much idea at 7:30 than it does right now.

I was up from 2-5. I knew at the time it was not a good idea, but there didn't seem to be much to be done about it. I read Georgette Heyer in the kitchen and ate crackers.

Dr. Roberts performed augmentation surgery in 2004 on Frances Foster, 63, a retiree who lives in northern Virginia. "Before I had the procedure, I had a nice bust line, but I didn't have much booty or whatever they call it today," Ms. Foster said. "It was totally flat back there."

"Now it's rounder and fuller," she said. "I'm thrilled."
