Would that not be totally awesome?

She lived in Iran until she was 16, then moved to the United States with her family. By contract, she is not allowed to reveal how much she paid to go on the trip, but it’s around $20 Million dollars!

Now here’s the main part of my question? If someone who came over from a third world county has a spare 20 million… what boat did I miss exactly? I mean, imagine to be that well off… yeah, here’s an extra 20 million just lying around, I think I’ll buy a space ticket!

(Not that I begrudge her the chance to go. It would surely be the experience of a lifetime.)

I’m just wondering how you pull down that kind of cash. Is it real estate? Software? Oil? Best friends with Bush? Anyone know the secret?
Let’s not make this a Iranian vs. American thing… that completely misses the point of the question.

My x husband and i share an 11 year old boy. He has primary residency. (which means he mainly lives with his Dad) His dad is ok with our son riding his bike all over the tourist town we live in. The town is fairly small, but it is a tourist town. So anyways our son seems to think its just dandy for him and his friend to swim out over their heads unsupervised. (his father is working and i cannot go out everyday due to my napping toddler). So My big thing was don’t go swimming with out an adult. He keeps swimming.Without an adult. He and his friend even had to be rescued in the Alantic Ocean because they took a small boat out. They didn’t even have oars. When he comes to visit me I have rules. I say check in every hour and a half. They didn’t follow that rule. It had been 6 hours b4 i heard anything. I called his dad and he didn’t know where he was either. I feel like his dad gives him too much freedom. I feel like if he can’t follow my rules mabey he shouldn’t come over. What to do?

I live in the most tourist visited places in the world! Alaska. People will come and ask THE DUMBEST questions and they always get me to laughing. For example, this woman drives up to the hotel I worked at. The entire rear of the hotel overlapped onto the bay! Ocean water. you can see the boats docks all around the HOTEL plain as day! The parking lot is packed except across the street. She thought she’d be all slick and so asks me
“Sir, is there parking out back?” Sheesh!!! Hahahahahahahahaha! I in turn asked her, “Well that depends, does your car float?” Man! Some people!

Or here’s one that I’ll never forget!
This woman brings a huge Manolta Camera. She walks up to the front desk of the hotel where I am the night auditor at the time. She asks me, do you know where all the site are around here for good photos? I said, sure. She said, GOOD! “I want to know when is the BEST time and the best place for the best vantage shot of one of your local Tsunamis as they roll in?” Sheeesh!!!!
I just about died laughing! I was rolling and in tears it was awesome! I asked; “Lady, do youi know what a Tsunami is?” Hahahahaha. She looked at me all puzzled and said, well there are all these signs on the road advertising a Tsunami.
I busted up laughing again. “Mam, those blue signs map out our entire evacuation route ENCASE of a Tsunami?”
Oh man, some people, wooooo!
