This is my contribution to the new virtual symposium's mid-month challenge on 'If I Had a Million Dollars' - see Mid Month Challenge 17. The challenge is to list five sensible things and five frivolous things that I would spend the money on.
Despite having a few problems in separating the sensible from the frivolous because my frivolous is sometimes essential in my book, here are my two lists.
FIVE SENSIBLE THINGS
FIVE FRIVOLOUS THINGS
I couldn't room for a smartphone or getting my swinging book self-published on either list. Perhaps I should give up on my redacted ambition of buying this site!
I was thinking about paying for therapy for my stepson but decided against it because I think he may be beyond therapy!
Just to look and at least feel more good, and if there's any money left over, I'd give it to these five charities - Amnesty International, Greenpeace, Hope not Hate, Médecins Sans Frontières and the Red Cross/Red Crescent. I do already regularly give money to two of these charities, Amnesty International and Greenpeace.

I like the camper van idea. The Tour is the perfect place to use it. Hopefully, the van can make it up to the top of Alpe D'Huez
I think I may have to park my VW camper van at the bottom of Alp d'Huez!
Great list!!!
Hugs!!
With a VW vamper van, I'd be able to do one long road trip of America and visit all my blogging friends!
Mea culpa. The unredacted version of this post FROM A VW CAMPER VAN TO STORMY DANIELS!, though initially denied by the site and deleted by me, was belatedly approved and undeleted after I submitted this redacted post!
That million dollars sure went a long way!
I didn't do any costings for wish lists!
The way things work around here, you could buy it on the chesp. Then you'd have money for a smart phone
I think I may also just be buying debt!
VW vans are great! I'd love to have one.
I've never been in a VW camper van but they look fantastic.
@spunkycumfun I have been twice
@AuraAviatik6 I'm envious.
@bignicktx When I was 25 I did some "mischievous" things in a VW van by the side of a nudist beach
@bignicktx Lucky you with the van (and the women)!
@spunkycumfun I have been in a VW camper van (at least that is what I thought it was) when I was a child. It was one with a pop top. We took some family vacations in it. My sister slept in the "bed" that hung across the front seats, I slept in the one that hung up in the pop top and my parents were slept in the area where the back seat pulled down and could be a double bed. Our camper had a sink in it and a little closet and storage room under the bench seat that pulled down and under the sink, there was also a table that could fold down when not needed or when needed pull up and screw the pole into the hole in the floor. We had a porta potty that was brought along at least some of the time.
@HornyBBW7233 That camper van sounds ideal for my tour of the Tour de France!
Great read,
ps. don't give up on the book, if you write like this, it'll do fine imo. The critics probably just push pencils so can't understand something different.
I'm glad you liked the read.
I haven't given up on the book. I'm just taking stock before my next move.
