It's unsettling. I read today that the common bedbug may be resistant to most pesticides.
That means these little blood suckers are getting impossible to kill.
Over the last 15 years the bed bug has spread rapidly. A single fertilized female can infest an entire apartment building. And 10% of all New Yorkers have bed bugs in their homes and at work.
And there seems to be no cure.
Except one. And I know what it is.
The Aston Martin Virage I drove this morning. What a nice way to spend your lottery winnings!
Early this afternoon I put my three 27" screens to sleep, forgot about business, and jumped into my Mercedes sports car.
I was on my way to test drive a new Aston Martin at the local dealership.
My simple light wallet with some notes folded in the middle. But was it good enough?
Today I walked into a store to make a purchase. This was a big test - because for the first time in my life I had come without my man wallet.
You know, that heavy leather foldable thing stuffed with cards and bills, that is too big for your pockets.
Let me tell you what happened next.
We have two cutlery drawers. In the top one are a new set of shiny, gleaming knives, forks and spoons. And maybe teaspoons and cheese knives - I don't know, haven't looked that closely.
And in the drawer below is the stainless steel set we've been using for the last 10 years or more.
A garage full of exotic cars is not the only advantage of being rich.
My wife turned to me today, as we were sitting in the shiny red convertible at the traffic lights and said, "Do you know, you're living your dream."
And after I thought about it for a second, I realised she was right. I was driving a half-million dollar car, and it was costing me nothing.
Enjoy your lottery winnings today, but prepare for the future too!
A big lottery win seems to be unspendable. The vast amount in a jackpot seems limitless, like the big wins over the years... Mega Millions: $640 million, Powerball: $587.5 million, Euromillions: $260 million, SuperEnalotto: $205 million.
You could buy everything you wanted in life and still have hundreds of millions left.
My ride - once the longest single-span aerial tramway in the world.
It was a hot, balmy afternoon in American Samoa many years ago. I had just finished speaking to a security guard.
He was sitting against the side of a building in the shade. As he answered my question, his eyes flickered, head dropped a little, and in mid- sentence, he fell asleep!
Get everything you want at an early age!
This afternoon Jack was proposing what he called a revolutionary idea for a better life.
"Ok," he said, as we settled down on the outdoor furniture, clutching a cool glass of orange each, "here's how it works."

Here's what British lottery operator Camelot found in their survey about lottery winner's spending.
What item you would first buy for your home?
The Miele showroom in Beverly Hills, USA.
I sauntered into the kitchen appliance store and caught the attention of one of the salesmen.
He and another guy came over.
"I've got Smeg appliances throughout our kitchen," I said, "A dishwasher, oven, gas hob and microwave, but I only need to replace the dishwasher right now."
They nodded, and I continued.

Last month's USA Powerball winner is hoping his money will finally bring him love.
The 44 year-old self-confessed hillbilly wants to "please a woman any way she wants," but she may have to share his hobbies. They include video games, bowling, camping, fishing and hunting.
Will the retired railway engineer from Michigan get the woman of his dreams... one who wants to dine out with him at McDoanald's and share the simple life? He sure hopes so.

Georgia Lottery's Mega Millions winner Wayne Reese may not have had the problems another winner faced in this story.
Robb called his family up from different parts of their vast home by phone.
"Sorry guys," he said resignedly when they had all gathered in the great room, "we have to sell. I can't afford this place any longer."
These blow-up extracts show that a photo of me smiling is quite hard to obtain. See the full photos here.
A few minutes ago I was sitting down to start my weekly Lotto-80 System predictions.
When it suddenly dawned on me.
I have been blabbing to you for close to a year and a half about my 'latest' car. Actually, 22 different times - according to my blog article count.
And in that time I have only shown one distant picture of it.
Our Mitsubishi fridge in a brochure picture.
A while back I decided I wanted the best fridge I could get. If you read this post you'll know why I demand quality all the time.
And so I bought one. A sleek, 21st century stainlesss steel Mitsubishi that looks a million dollars. It has icemaker, vege life-extenders... everything a family would need.
Except...

If you won big this week (and I'm hoping you will!), would you quit your day job?
Most people say yes. Many folks say they would gladly march into their boss and throw their empty lunch wrapper on the desk and say: "That's the last you'll see of this - and me!"
Our recent Big Wednesday game turned out to be another lottery bonanza for me, so I bought a new Dyson fan heater for my office. It worked so well I bought another for my wife's office.
What will YOU buy with your win this weekend?
Cats - lovely pets, but with a dark side too.
A while back, for the last couple of years I'd been dissatisfied with our lounge sofa set. It matched our last house fine, but the Italian overstuffed look didn't now suit our current modern, contemporary home.
So why didn't I change it?
Imagine the possibilities.
Imagine the life you could have after a lottery winnning, compared to the life you lead now.
Say you wanted to take the family down to the mall.
"Jump in the car, guys," you call out, as you put the rubbish can out and lock the back door. "We're going to the mall..."
You pause for effect. They don't know what's coming...
