The Sunday Five: Would You


 Let's go off into fantasy land for a few minutes and answer few telling questions. 

If you won a Billion Dollars (or Pounds, or Euros) in a lottery would you? 

1: Buy a lamborghini or a Volvo? 

2: A house in the City, or a Farm in the Country?

3: A 35 foot boat, or 135 foot boat? 

4: A Rolex watch, or stop wearing watches? 

5: Shop at Gucci or Levi's? 

My Answers: 

1: Buy a lamborghini or a Volvo?  A Volvo, reliable, comfortable, easier to blend in with the crowd. 

2: A house in the City, or a Farm in the Country? If limited to one, the house in the city.  

3: A 35 foot boat, or 135 foot boat?  The 35 footer, unless I was going to live on it full time. 

4: A Rolex watch, or stop wearing watches? I have worn a watch since I was 8 years old, I feel undressed without it, the stainless steel one with a blue face. 

5: Shop at Gucci or Levis?  Levi's.  I can't understand paying $200 for a t-shirt. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

    1. I dress for comfort, more than style.

  2. 1. I have a Volvo, but I'm old enough that I couldn't get into or out of a Lambroghini easily. If those are my only two choices, it's Volvo.
    2. Yes. But to Country AND City. Keep the farm.
    3. Neither. Boats do not interest me.
    4. I don't wear watch now, technically. My phone tells me the time.
    5. Pretentious Gs everywhere. I'll stick with Levis - not that I own any Levis currently.

  4. 1: Buy a lamborghini or a Volvo? A Volvo; I'm a bit more practical though the Volvo would have ALL the bells and whistles, electric, of course.

    2: A house in the City, or a Farm in the Country? A few years ago I'd be Lisa Douglas from Green Acres wanting my penthouse view, but then we moved to Camden, and now I'm more like Oliver Douglas wanting a farm ... but could I have both???

    3: A 35 foot boat, or 135 foot boat? I don't think I'd boat.

    4: A Rolex watch, or stop wearing watches? I have a watch made by one of our local jewelers and I'd stick to that one.

    5: Shop at Gucci or Levi's? Levi's.

    1. If I had a farm, I'd need to hire farmboys, and the interviews would take forever.

  5. Easy: Lambo (I'll find a way to fit), City, 135 (if you're gonna buy one, make it count), no watch (Rolexes are heavy and clunky), Gucci (I figure they'd fit better)

    1. I don't think Gucci makes anything in my size

    1. There a slow around the world cruises, my boss bought his kids around the world airline tickets as a wedding gift. With a 135 foot boat (and a crew,) you could circle the globe at your own pace.

  9. 1: Buy a lamborghini or a Volvo? Neither a mid price Toyota.

    2: A house in the City, or a Farm in the Country? I'm to old to farm, but with that kind of money. I could hire someone to run a farm. A small mansion maybe, in country side.

    3: A 35 foot boat, or 135 foot boat? Neither.

    4: A Rolex watch, or stop wearing watches? Why watch. Our phone has a clock on it.

    5: Shop at Gucci or Levi's? Thrift stores, still.

  10. 1. Neither are a car I would choose, but yes Volvo.
    2. Both would be good but I choose city.
    3. I haven't had a bath for a few years. It might be nice to have 35cm boat to float in a bath.
    4. I haven't worn a watch since the 1990s after becoming allergic to cheap metal.
    5. Levi. I reckon in Macys I could buy Levi jeans for two thirds less than I pay here.

    1. I have heard it said that clothes are so much cheaper in the US than in England, that you can fly here offseason to go shopping for the year, and save enough to offset the airline cost.
