A blank white box? I assume you're talking about the enormous drug bust? Sheesh. Would that I could just have $5,000 of that my life would be so much less stressful. I'm too honest I tell you.

Niobe,
The picture isn't opening. Unless, however, there really is no picture and you are making a profound anti-materialist statement with a side dish of nihilism, in which case, bravo.

Yikes! I am assuming drug-related.

Well, I can see the video of a camera panning over stacks of bundled hundred-dollar bills. Okay, I'll put up a photo for everyone else.

What a great idea! We should all post photos of our basements.

My basement doesn't look anything like that. Damn.

Freaking impressive!
I'm with Sara-- a little bit of that would make my life much less stressful.

Related to nothing in particular, I was thinking the other day that I know what I personally could do with maybe up to about 20 million. And it would involve building and maintaining a school. I think I might find people who need more money than that to be completely un-understandable.

Wow, that is a lot of decaf mocha-orange lattes from Starbucks, isn't it?

I can't even conceive of that much money but it might be nice to try for a few days.

Huh, she says, wiping a bit of drool off of her laptop with the broken z key, which she swapped out for the page up key, figuring that she might need that z, and with the fraying cord, which might set her and her house (which has a basement that likes water) on fire any day now.

I know that money does not guarantee happiness, but it does allow you to buy things that can help make you happy. You know, like services at spas and such.:-) Hell, I will even take enough money to pay all my bills for a month or two! That means I am not greedy, right?

$207m and a certain amount of foreign currency, to boot. What's up with that? Greenbacks aren't good enough?

Nice decorating scheme, anyway.
