Scratcher - WINNER!!

In essence, yes, I am a winner of a few dollars according to the prize on the ticket. Since the inception of the "2nd Chance" draw on these scratchers, I have been collecting them in the garbage cans located conveniently right next to the Lotto machine that dispenses all manner of the lotto tickets and i have seen them thrown out on roadsides, which I have stopped to collect them before the next oncoming car drives my way. So far, I have gotten a few winners, to date $17.00 worth of tickets that people have scratched and thrown away not thinking that they are winners. The tickets that I have found and won on were the crossword puzzle and the poker tickets. Now with literacy and grammar being digital and online and not too many savvy poker players, I have been the recipient and lucky enough to find, scratch and win at these throw-a ways. Also since there is a "2nd chance" at the lottery scratcher for a quarterly draw, I could be a winner! You never know. So collect those tickets, scratch and input the codes located on the tickets for another chance at the Lotto money even if you don't buy a lottery scratcher....the money is out there, somewhere! Good luck and happy seeking!!

Annual Garbage Cleanup

which I receive once a year to overhaul my home and rid myself and family of unwanted items that cannot be taken by Goodwill. This year we had eleven bags of garbage and one lone bureau drawer which was infested with rat poop. Yes, we have a rat problem which my brother has layed out some rat poison to eradicate the little buggers. I don't care about the local animal rights activist and preserving our rat society and calling me a rat killer or creatures of the almighty, but when they're in your home causing a unholy mess and you're sick of seeing rat poop everywhere, then come and talk to me. The infestation has taken place in my daughters lower apartment and they seem to be everywhere. At least five of the bags contained clothes and blankets stained by the green poop, remnants of the poison leaving a trail everywhere they go. The bureau drawer was a Goodwill buy, infested and stained, with the green poop and had to go. The Daly City once a year that I'm allowed up to twelve bags no more than 60 pounds each and two large items. I was well within my limits. My families cleaning venture took us most of the weekend and up until 10:00pm. Exhausted and hungry, we decided to call it a day. With much more room and treasure finds for my EBay selling binge, there was room to breathe. In another week or two, we will go back and investigate to see if there are signs of rat poop or infestations. Rheumatoid arthritis or not, my life still has to go on because no one else will get it done.
