Question:

What has been your biggest windfall in Life and what happened?

Good, bad or other?

Answer:

I think it is yet to happen
well, I hoped and prayed Obama would be re-elected, and then, it happened, and then he is making everyone buy health insurance or pay a penalty so that's annoying
Philosophically speaking, I am going to get one million dollar lottery. Ticket I have already taken. It is good and It will take me to new heights.
Not the biggest but definitely the most interesting was a check for 25,000 dollars. There was construction going on north of my property by the city. It sounded like they were right in my back yard so I went outside and they were in my yard. I large excavator was on my property tearing trees out of the ground and piling them up. I tried to explain to the Foreman of the crew that they were on my property, but he ignored me. He was extremely rude and condescending. Finally he confronted me and said that If I didn't leave his job site he was going to call the Police and have me removed. I told him that I would do it for him. When the police arrived the mayor was with them and he knew where the city property ended. He told them to get their equipment off of my property. I contacted my lawyer and he told me my rights. I checked with a company that planted trees the size of the ones that were damaged and he told me it might cost over 50,000 dollars to replace the trees. When a company rep from the contractor came to the house he was almost as rude as the Foreman had been. I told him how much the replacement trees would cost and even gave him the number so he could talk to them himself. I offered to settle for 25,000 if he brought the check before 5 that afternoon. Around a quarter till 5 he showed up with the check.
