The game show “The Price is Right” may be recalled. In any case, the price was virtually perfect on a recent show! When a competitor made the “best Showcase bid in the history of the show,” host Drew Carey was taken aback.
The competitor, Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada’s Patrice Masse, has advanced all the way to the Showcase Showdown. He put in an incredible $39,500 offer for a prize package that included a brand-new automobile and a trip to Miami.
Everyone held their breath until the moment of truth arrived and the true value of the prize package was disclosed. The host, Drew Carey, was completely stunned. Patrice’s offer was only $1 less than the prize package’s $39,501 value!
Due to his amazing estimate, Patrice was able to win both the prize package and the coveted title of Double Showcase Winner for the program. The criteria state that the winner of both showcases is the competitor who comes closest to the actual value, without exceeding it by $250. This incredible victory will undoubtedly rank among the greatest in game show history!
Patrice, congrats on your fantastic victory! We adore “The Price is Right” even more at times like this.

My mother-in-law joined our honeymoon to torment me — I didn’t stand for it and executed the perfect retaliation.
This tale is a lesson in establishing boundaries, commanding respect, and much more. What was meant to be a joyous honeymoon for me and my husband quickly transformed into a stressful trip with my problematic mother-in-law in tow. Fortunately, I devised a strategy that solved the issue effectively.
What should have been a romantic escape for my husband and me turned sour rapidly when an unwelcome guest accompanied us. Let’s rewind to explain how this all unfolded.
As my husband, Mike, and I were about to leave for our honeymoon, he nonchalantly mentioned a detour to his mother’s house.
“Why?” I inquired, bewildered. “Because she’s joining us,” he responded. Confused, I pressed, “What?” With a sigh, he elaborated, “She’s never had a vacation or traveled abroad her whole life, so it’s only right she joins us.”
I was absolutely dumbfounded! “When were you going to tell me this? What about our plans?” I tried to remain composed. “I revised our reservations and tickets a while back,” he admitted.
“The truth is she insisted, and I thought you’d be okay with it since you’re always so understanding.” That comment shifted my bewilderment to outrage! I was furious that he had made these changes without consulting me.
The thought of spending our island getaway with my mother-in-law felt like a nightmare! I was so upset I nearly canceled the whole trip. But then, AN EXCELLENT IDEA CAME TO ME! When we reached my mother-in-law’s home, Mike went out to help her with her bags.
While he was busy, I quickly made a phone call. “Mom, hi. I’m in a bit of a bind,” I started. “What’s wrong, dear?” She sounded worried. “My mother-in-law convinced Mike to bring her along on our honeymoon.”
“What?! Oh no, Elle!” my mother gasped in dismay. “She’s tagging along to the islands, and I don’t know how I’ll manage. Could you and Dad come? I’ll book your flights.” Alarmed, she asked, “How did this happen?”
“There’s no time for details, Mom. I need to act fast.” Mom quickly understood the gravity of the situation and replied supportively, “Of course, dear. Your father and I would be glad to help! Just let us know where you’ll be, and we’ll handle the rest.”
I wasted no time booking their flights online and sent all the details to my mom. She assured me she’d do everything possible to make sure I could enjoy my time with Mike without my meddlesome mother-in-law interfering.
