    We don't have any financial needs. We would prolly send it to our missionary in Africa as a "use it on yourself type gift". Most missionaries are so into their ministries they often forget about themselves.

    Cheers,

    I can't not think about myself. I have to carry me around everywhere I go. LOL!

    That's what I'm talking about!!

    "Let me see," padre says to himself, "about doing something noble with this $500 windfall. There are mouths to feed, the building fund at church, bills to pay; many, many who could use this $500.00!"

    Alas, my thoughts turned toward Hank Demetri. Hank could use the money. Hank could use it to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and contribute to the building find! Just because Hank owns the local gun shop doesn't make my intentions any less noble.

    I will not follow into the abyss with the gentleman from Red Stick. I bought my 1100 10 years ago. I have my eye on a nice Model 700 in .243 though...

    So that is my plan. I will give my $500 to the country....Remington Country! :thumbsup:

    I am sure I could find someone with a need greater than mine...

    Not much. I owe over $30,000 at least half of which is medical bills, and $500 is only a drop in the bucket.

    This reminds me of a reporter who was asking people what they'd do with a million dollars.

    One said "I'd pay my bills as far as it would go."

    A farmer replied "I'd just keep farmin' until it all ran out."

    Knowing me, I would probably spend on something useless, when I should spend it on paying my bills & debts.
