I watched a movie the other night and there was a teeny tiny part in it where they were playing a game called what would you do for a million dollars... and it got me thinking.

What would you do for for a million dollars? (The only rule is it has to be legal.)

I would live with the Amish. I think I could do it for 6 months, but I'm not sure if I could make it a year.

I would give up chocolate for the rest of my life.

Hmmm... I'm assuming you have to pick something that not many others would do.

I could easily give up chocolate for the rest of my life, but then I'm not a chocolate nut to begin with. I think I could live the with the Amish for six months. I'd want to take my dd with me so she could see how good she has things!

I would NOT skydive for a million dollars or go bungee jumping. I think I'd have a heart attack, which means I wouldn't be around to enjoy the money.

I would move to a different country for a year where they don't speak English, provided I could take my family with me and it was safe.

Would anyone be willing to give up their computer and cell phone for a year?

For a million bucks I think I could stay away from a computer (except for charting at work), but I might go through MS withdrawals. The phone would be an easy one.

Those are the exact two things I was thinking of. I think I could for a million but only if someone pushed me. I could never jump!

Nothing easy to get a million dollar these days unless you win the lottery so I suppose I can eat something nasty. Has to be cook though. Like umm let say, a cockroach or frogs. Gotta have plenty of water afterwards though and a mouthwash. This question reminds of the movie "Rat Race" :-) that was funny.

I would also give up coffee.
I would eat any kind of bug, has to be dead though.
I would skydive, only if there was an instructor attached to me.
I would definately bungee jump.
I would give up my bed for a year, but not my pillow!
