What would you do if you found five million dollars of buried treasure? This is an amazing story here:

Would you cash the coins in? Sell them? Keep them? Donate them to a museum?

I'm a pretty charitable person but I'm selling those suckers and taking the five million cash to live life and help others.

A lot of people have lists like things you want to see or places you want to visit before you die. Here is a different kind of list, ten places that you don't want to visit before you die.

What does it say about me that I've already been to two of the ten places not to visit? Luxor in Las Vegas and Four Corners. Any place not on the list that you don't want to visit? I really don't have any place that I don't want to visit. I'm pretty sure I could find something charming anywhere I ended up.

Who Am I?

Yesterday's answer: was Rose Schneiderman


"...The wisest of all ages have acknowledged that the most important period in human education is in childhood. . - - This most important part of education is left entirely in the hands of the mother. She prepares the soil for future culture. . . . But the mother cannot give what she does not possess; weakness cannot impart strength. With an imperfect education . . . can she develop the powers, call out the energies, and impart a spirit of independence in her sons? . . . The mother must possess these high and noble qualities, or she never can impart them to her offspring..." I said this sometime between when I was born in 1810 and when I died in 1892. Before dying I became an individualist, feminist, abolitionist, freethinker, and atheist before dying in 1892. My father was a rich rabbi and my mother the daughter of a wealthy businessman. At the age of five I began to question the justice of a God who would exact such hardships at the frequent fasts that her father performed. As I got older I began to question my father even more. By the age of fourteen I had completely rejected the idea of female inferiority and the religious texts that supported that idea. At age sixteen Mom died, and my father betrothed me, without my consent, to a young Jew who was a friend of his. Not wanting to enter a marriage with a man I neither chose nor loved I confronted dad, professing my lack of affection towards him and begging for release. He denied my plea. I traveled to the secular civil court, where I pleaded my case. The courts ruled in my favor, not only freeing me from the betrothal, but ruling that I could retain the full inheritance that I received from Mom. I decided to relinquish the fortune to dad but gladly took my freedom from the betrothal. When I returned home I discovered that in my absence dad had remarried to a sixteen year old girl. I left home at seventeen. I traveled Europe. On the way to England the ship I was sailing wrecked. I made it to England safely but all of my possessions were destroyed, making me destitute. In order to support myself I sought work as a teacher in the languages of German and Hebrew and continued to sell room deodorizers. While in England I met a socialist who was so impressed by me that he invited me to speak in a large hall for radical speakers. In spite of my limited knowledge of English, the audience was so impressed that from then on my appearances were regular. While there I married Bill in a civil ceremony believing marriage to be a civil contract rather than a religious one. We returned to the State becoming naturalized citizens and I opened a fancy perfume shop. I continued to give lectures. traveling to different states to espouse my causes of the abolition of slavery, religious tolerance, public education and equality for women. I was once called "a female Atheist... a thousand times below a prostitute." When I responded to the slur in a letter to the competing paper I sparked off a town feud that created such publicity that, by the time I arrived, everyone in town was eager to hear me. Despite opposition I was elected president of a convention thanks to the support of Susan who said, "every religion – or none – should have an equal right on the platform". I died in England in 1892.
