Little known facts:
Peanuts are one of the ingredients of
dynamite. (Because I knew this,
I answered a trivia question lately ;-) )
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.
"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and
"lollipop" with your right.
The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.

Okay, here goes. An entry with no designated time
frame….
We visited
Monticello once. I believe the cost was $3 or $8 for the tour. We paid with a $10 or $20 bill and received
two $2 bills in change. At first I was surprised, but then realized why. If you
are familiar with the $2 bill you know Thomas Jefferson is pictured there. So the change was a PR thing and I liked the
idea. We also kept those $2 bill for a
while, but somewhere along the line they were spent.
Since I do not
have an internet just now, I cannot check, but at one time our country produced
some oversized $5 bills. I have seen a few of them, they are about ½” larger
both ways.
(1914 over sized $5)
My brother-In-law Elmer had a few of them but
they were stolen during a house break-in.
He really regretted losing those. He lost a lot more, but I remember him
mentioning them the most.
Grandson Ben
gave Sherry a Confederate bill once, she still has it. We have a few Old bills
and one mint set of $1 bills, a sheet of them about 2’ square. You can order
them from the Mint, these were given me by Steve Helms, my best friend Sonny’s
son. If we ever move into a brick and mortar home again, I am going to hang
them on the wall as a picture.
I thought in my
will I would note that behind the ‘picture’ are enough numbers for all the kids
and grandkids. At my death there is to be a drawing and the winner gets the sheet
of bills. Of course if Sherry were to
order a sheet of $100 bills, now that would produce some interest! LOL
Robbie Cook,
a dear OLD friend of mine from my early teens ‘folds money’ as a hobby. We have
4 $1 bills he has folded for us into shirts and pants. They
are attached here on either side of our printer. I like’em, Thanks Robbie.
If the cashless
society happens before my demise, I think I will miss carrying some money in my
pocket. ‘Do you hide a bill or two in your wallet?’ HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD
ANYONE HAVE A YARD SALE WITHOUT CASH?

Those folded cash chaps are adorable!
He didn't have much, but my late Uncle Edric used to send each of his nieces and nephews a $2 bill on our birthdays. I'm going to look and see if any remain in the hope chest. (Now, having a Confederate bill would be really something!)
Yes, I still carry a few dollars here and there. Back in the 80's (before everyone carried a cell phone in their pocketbook) I had a co-worker who kept a $20 bill scotch-taped to the roof of her glove compartment.... emergency $ in the event she broke down.
I carry a few dollars with me because I hate to use my debit card for less than a 10.00 purchase. I use my "wallet" app on my phone sometimes. Its great to just point my phone at the register and "ding". It pays.
When I was a kid, I would walk around the neighborhood selling candy bars when the school had a fundraiser. I came home with a silver certificate Im sure was given to me by mistake. Daddy caught it and bought if from me for.... a dollar. I didnt know the difference and he did. He later told me what it was worth. Im pretty sure he still has it put up for me.
Still dont have a dime

So true about garage sales if cash isn't used. They would probably be nonexistent then. I remember hubby got a tie that was folded with dollar bills. Too cute and clever!
betty
