Well after receiving the unexpected windfall of two
elastic hair ribbons that I found in the parking lot
a couple weeks ago, which will come in very handy to
bind my rosin pouch with (and that's not a metaphor),
I of course started thinking about what might be next
— that big bag of money that I have been expecting to
float down from the sky for some time now.
(Wow, a 69 word sentence. Haven't written one that long
since I stopped reading James Joyce.)
Well I guess my mom and my sister got tired of hearing
me talk about it and decided to give me a bag of money
(shown above).
The bag had $2.33 USD in it.
And in fact after thinking about it for a while I
realized that the money in the bag was some change
that I had coming back to me after a store run they
made. So it was actually my own money.
Not exactly what I was hoping for!
But…the love and the humor were a gift in themselves.

A bag of money is a bag of money, man. And that's not a metaphor either.
I went to this management course once where there was a class on the power of associative thinking – the concept and idea, that if you picture somthing in your head, like achieving your goal, the probability of success will increase. We were told to picture a fifty-note and to observe whether it would have a positive effect on our echonomy in the weeks after. Sure, and if I say hokus pokus the rabbit will disappear… The problem about stuff like that is, that you can't resist. If somebody tells you to picture a fifty-note, it will just be there, in your head. You can't help it. However, I actually found a fivehundred note on the street a couple of days after that class. Purely coincidental, of course, but still…
:lol:Well I guess looking at it on a positive sde that I"m now only $99,767 from having $100,000.
Maybe if I wrote President Obama and asked him to give us a friggin' Social Security raise next year. Tell him I believe in positive thinking. :pI've never been to one of those motivational things myself. But I've known a few people who were into it. The only thing I can say is that it might not have done them any good but it didn't do them any harm either…as so many things can do.
😆 Well, at least you got your change back!
😆 True!Plus a nice Ziploc baggie. :p
2.33? Maui I am coming.

Usually you would slid a money roll into the mans pocket and then he would give you a baggie with something else than money in it. Anyways, that was how we did in in college, but that might have changed.
@ Pineas.While your there visit the Keck/Gemini. Pictures, please!:D@ Mags.Thanks, Mags! :heart: to you too!@ Martin.I remember those. You know every once in a while when I take one of my nitroglycerine tablets out of the tiny, tiny little bottle they come in I think way back to my fast lane days. Back then, people would spoon coke out of those exact type bottles. Boy, how my life has changed! 😆
Here, people say that if you think something bad will happen, it will happen. So, positive thinking seems much better and comforting :up:Actually, I never heard anyone saying if you think positive, something good will happen 😆 :lol:Anyway, bag full of money is in your hands :up:
