keep keep keep I would keep it all, but at the same time keep an ear out for the owner of such lost money. I would watch the paper for about a week to see if anyone runs a lost ad for it. I have been on both ends of this, where I have found money and lost money. When I was a kid I found a stack of 100.00 bills, 27 of them to be exact. I grew up in a very small town so I just went to the closest business and told them I found some money. They told me so and so had lost it and had just taken it out of the bank to buy a new vehicle, and was happy to get it back, they gave me $1.00 as a tip. One Friday at work I went to the bank at lunch, deposited my check, got $200 bucks cash back and went back to work. End of day realized my wallet was not in my pocket, searched all over work, finally gave into the fact that it fell out in one of the semi trailers I had loaded. Two weeks later my wallet showed up in the mail, minus the money of course.

well, actually something like this happened to me a couple of months back. dd, dh and i were going to new house. we were hungry and stopped at a fast food place. none of us had any cash on us. as we were entering the door, i found 8 dollars on the floor. we decided to go in and get in line and see who reached into their pocket after ordering and then panicked, because their money was gone. no one did. so we figured it had to be someone on the way out. (there were at least a dozen orderers in front of us). it was just enough to buy our food, so we thanked whoever had paid for our meal. however, payback's a bewitch...i had 300 dollars on me in twenties at christmas time. somewhere during my christmas shopping, i lost a wad of 5 twenties. i was sick about it for days. 100 bucks is a lot to lose! i called stores we had been to, but, of course, no one turned it in. i would always look to see if someone is upset and missing their money...i know how it feels to lose it!

Same as everyone else. Keep keep keep Check for ID, then return it. (I used to do that with lost cats and dogs, but only if they were wearing ID tags. I'd call them in. I take them home and put them in the washroom, so my cats don't interact with them. Then I call the owner or the SPCA. And they'd come and get them.)

Good morning everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the weekend. Well, well, well... looks like most all of you are keeping all of that cash. Since today's results are pretty obvious, I'm going to post the results from a question we had a couple weeks ago instead, which I found interesting by comparison. Here are the results of: Do you believe in karma?
Yes | 28 | No | 2 | Sort of | 1 | Unsure | 1 |
Today's question is: What is the most expensive meal (dinner, drinks, dessert) that you've ever had in a restaurant. (Not the whole bill...just YOUR meal) Was it: A. Under $20 B. Under $40 C. Under $60 D. More than $60 My answer is B, Under $40.

B I have probably had a steak and lobster dinner sometime in my past that would have cost more than $20.00, and I KNOW that I would never spend more than $40.00! My tastes tend to run more along the line of Spaghettios and Happy Meals...

B, would have easily been A, but I remember 1 time when my meal and drinks came up over $20.00, other wise it's been under the $20.00.
