about me,, humm,, old gray haired, half wore out, totally broke, blue jean wearing, bluegrass picking, father of 3 girls, married since I was in Junior High, armchair adventurer, introverted, homesteadin', codger from the soverign nation of Texas. But I do have an open mind..
My mom bought someone's coin collection at a yard sale for two dollars, indian head coins from the 1800s to international coins to specialty coins. Someone's whole life's work. For two blinking dollars. Imagine.
This reminds me that yesterday I put pennies in the penny jar, and noticed the "silver" jar is getting pretty full. We used to save all our change and cash it in for something special. Now we save our change and sometimes forget about it. It's time to remember.
Heard some guy on TV a few years back spouting off on 'strategies to save money in the bad economy.' He suggested saving all your change and using it at the end of the year for a vacation. So I got a big jar and for one year I saved all my coin. After I finally finished rolling all of it--with the help of the grandkids--I had twenty bucks. Vacation?? That wouldn't even get me one night in the No-Tell Mo-tel!!
Oh, wait, I know this one...

OCD with a touch of ADD.

ReplyDeleteYou were so frustrated that you are now down to coins for your house payment that knocked over the water bottle.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking I used to have dreams when I was little of finding piles of change in the streets. I was too little to imagine paper money.
ReplyDeleteThe coin bottles my daddy saves for his babies and grandbabies :)
ReplyDeleteThinking about how money is renowned for being filthy and wishing someone else would clean this off my table...
ReplyDeleteWhit- that's exactly what I thought! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd daughters sometimes! Rach :)
