I'll just do everything that everyone said above... I would buy the fanciest Corvette ever... Cherry Red... and it has to be a convertible.. so I look hot (after I lose this fat and get that double chin thing done.) Drive it to all my houses (again, listed above)... Of course it would be in storage while I am doing all that traveling listed above. HAHAHAHA... Isn't it great to dream? I was watching football last night.. Denver Broncos and they were estimating that Von Miller makes over $5,000 PER SECOND while playing football.. PER SECOND...... I want to be Von Miller.

I'd buy back my old house in Iowa just to have a place to stay when I go back home. And because I miss it. I'd pay to have someone periodically stop in and clean it and check on things. I'd also buy up all the other houses on the block and turn one into a guest home, and the rest I'd tear down and install the fanciest koi pond you've ever seen and put a lazy river around the whole block and enclose the whole thing with the fanciest and scariest-looking wrought iron fence you ever saw.

For my three sons' bathroom I'd install a urinal, a drain in the floor and a pull down hose so I could just spray the whole bathroom down. I used to say this when I still had my sons at home!!! Save

This is my dream.

Travel all over, starting with the Great North American Road trip. And then once we'd seen all the sights, we'd retire to our little place on the ocean!

Buy a boat, an island somewhere warm and exotic, install windmills and solar panels and live there for the rest of my life.

I'd probably quit my job (or just take a year off) and do nothing but hike, travel, and cook....(would hike the John Muir trail too)

Travel and retirement aren't crazy things...they're very sensible!! My crazy thing would be to have various rooms in my house redecorated on a 2 week rolling basis because there are so many styles and ideas I like that I would love to try out

I would open a free range animal sanctuary (DS & DD dream), visit all the Disney Parks around the world, with VIP tour guides, of course (my dream), and buy a home on the beach in Newport Beach, CA (DH dream).

I would buy a house in Delaware and one in Lubbock. But I'm sure that's a dream everyone has.

I would buy a house like this: $150,000,000.00 House for Sale (not necessarily this one specifically, but some insane home like it) and invite all the Pea's to come to the house for a Spa weekend! With 20 bathrooms, I figure there won't be a very long wait for a bathroom. All meals prepared by renowned chefs and all of us waited on by hunky men - taking care of every need. (ok, don't let your mind go there - its still my house, no crazy stuff - ok?) ETA: If the first house I shared was not available, this one is a close 2nd choice: 22 Bathrooms! (minus the yellow cow in the yard and the fake sheep in the living area!)

Will you please build a shopping cart corral obstacle course so we can all race to see who can bring their cart into the corral the fastest?

(think Mr. Mom movie) scrapmaven can plan out the meals after finding out what everyone wants, cadoodlebug can be in charge of all movies we will be showing.

If you had asked this question a week ago I would have given a completely boring practical answer. Then I saw the 2017 Corvette in the new black rose color ..........'nough said.

Retire and spend my days just doing dog stuff. Going to dog shows, training my dog, getting another dog so we can go scootering. Yep, just crazy dog stuff I always said I wanted to raise puppies when I retired. I want a puppy farm. I know it isn't a good thing to do to puppies, but I cannot get enough of them. My current dogs go for two walks a day and have a very good life since my husband and I are both retired and work part-time. I would also love to be able to give generous amounts of money to people who are selfless.

After the house on the ocean and numerous vacations, I would open a huge green environment for homeless people and homeless dogs. Both would live in complete harmony. All welcome.

I would start a flower farm on our property and in the winter a Christmas tree farm. And utilize a house trailer we have sitting empty for a Santa Claus house for the kids to come in and tell him what they want and help their parents pick a tree. And since money is not an object, spray fake snow all over the property every day so it always looks wintery.

I would pay for the Service Dog Project's expenses for at least a year. (I actually learned about the organization on the old Peas site.)

I would buy a mansion, name it Pea Haven, and open it as a retreat for all the peas. We could hang out and chat in real time. You did say crazy, right?

Yup redo my house and backyard. I love our area and our property. But the yard needs help. Then we'd travel too. Oh and maybe one more dog. Dh thinks he wants a third. LOL We don't have kids.

I would take a few months to go explore around in the areas in Oregon where I am planning to move. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, checking crime statistics, looking to see what people living in the area have to say about it, but there is nothing like visiting first hand. I'd like to just leave my renter in charge of the house and take my pup and go get a hotel suite that would allow my pup to stay with me. Then we would venture out on walks and drives to get a better feel of each area.
Not all that crazy, but I'm feeling practical today. And I'm going to end up doing a modified version of this after I sell the house, I would just rather do it now, buy something for cash, then move my stuff and let a realtor stage and sell the house for me.
