How to make a million (swedish) - fast? just a brain teaser. I wanna buy my old, sick and now retired mom a nice place to live but lack a million (maybe two depending on bidding). So do I play the lotto, sell drugs, or rob a bank?
Course, brain teaser or not, I'm gonna try all ideas yaknow, because I really do wanna get my mom a nice place to live. She deserves it.

Maybe you could make a Buy-my-Mom-a-House site; I'm always amazed (and pissed off - in a selfish way) at the number of people who give money to little snots who make sites asking for money to pay off their massive debts.

They get to spend like crazy, and get other people to pay? Damn. I'd much rather help buy your mom a place. You could make it cool, with anecdotes from your kidhood every day... maybe some old photos or fun things.

eh? Better than robbing a bank. :)

Sell enough drugs to buy a gun. Use the gun to rob a bank. Use the money from the bank robbery to buy lots of lottery tickets.

Yes, a website! Or come up with a catchy slogan, and sell a million bumper stickers.

And, oh yeah - wasn't there some girl who made a site asking for money for a boob job? Come on. Moms before boob jobs!!!!

If I name the site that nobody will ever donate anything. ;)

*considers creating a 'give a boob a job,' site, thinks better of it*

Hee. You could call the site... "Buy my Mom a House (where Swedish Bikini Team may someday visit, because, you know - hey - Sweden)"

Heh. The job-seeking boob in question would be myself.

Ha!

The worst part is that I could totally angle a begging-site right, mom was a stay at home mom which is why she practically has nothing in pension, and my father died 1987, leaving her with me to still send to college and a sudden need for a high-paying career (which she got because she r0xors). She worked in IT and by the late 90's there was that infamous bust so all "Old people" were laid off and she found herself another job in a hellhole of a giant company where it seems everyone burned out. All her physical ails happened with that job so they gave her the option to retire early which she had no option but taking (it was that or try and find a job when you are really really physically ill and need healing-time). Then she lost the place where she managed to keep us in all throughout the eighties and early nineties by basically starving herself and now lives in a much smaller place and hating it every day. I just want to win the lotto and buy her the dream home to be in seeing as she fed me and clothed me for so long.

See, don'tcha pity her now?

Moms rock. Call mom today. I'll go play the lotto.

Aw man, good luck with the lotto, dabitch! Sounds like she deserves a nice one.
