Sometimes there was over two dollars there. I still have a coin jar. Haven't counted it in a while. I still pick up coins from the ground, even if it is only a penny. Why leave it? It all adds up.<BR/><BR/>You Are a Daffodil <BR/> You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party.

I could, but he was onery as heck -- and he did throw me and break my wrist.<BR/><BR/>Another good place to look for change is outside drive-up windows at the fast food places.

Another good place that my son loves to look is at the laundramat. The dryers catch all sorts of goodies in the rubber seal on the door. My son usually comes up with at least a dollars worth of change. He found a 5 dollar bill once and I found a twenty. Unfortunatly DS isn't at that age where he wants to save it.<BR/><BR/>You bought a pony for $25? I did get a Shetland for free once. I think the owners got the better end of the deal.Ceri Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584297798290334430noreply@blogger.com
