1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

* it would appear that there is strength in numbers. the THREESOME of Karen, Griffin, and Sandy are stronger together than apart!

2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

* why don't people check the pockets of coats they donate to charity? if they did, they'd find the $25.12 they left in it.
A: I DON'T KNOW! but off it goes, from one charity to another!

3] General News!

* Mom and Karen found $25.12 in a donated coat at a thrift store. we've decided that since the money was found in a charity place, that it should go directly into the Charity Fund, even though this is an Xmas Dinner month. you'll see the totals reflected at the bottom of this newsletter. all monies collected in March with the exception of the $25.12 will continue to go into the Xmas Dinner fund. i wish i could have seen your faces when you found that...

* i was cleaning out some emails and came across this to mom in November of last year: "and it's $17.07 with your [2 cent] find! right, we certainly could squirrel the excess away for next Xmas. you know what might be fun? see who else wants in next year, divvy it up in November, and everyone goes shopping. pool our resources. i bet we'd have $100 in a year with all of us in on it." ... BAAA HA HAHA HA HAHA HA HA!! small potatoes!!

* don't forget to keep checking out the blog. i've put all kinds of crazy pictures up there! http://findingmosermoney.blogspot.com/

Tomorrow is my turn for providing snacks at school (all staff take turns every Thursday), so on my way back to School this afternoon I quickly stopped at Co-op to buy cheese crackers etc. As I got out of the car there on the ground thawing out of the ice was a quarter and a penny. WOO HOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice haul, in my pocket it went and I couldn't wait till my shift was over so I could get home and email. Well I purchased 2 bags of groceries so I thought I'd put them in the back seat. So out to the car and the back door of the drivers side (head down of course) and HOLY CRAP there melting out of the snow was a toonie, with a loonie resting askew on top of it and another quarter.

+ Sandy's $1.50 from 2 Dangerousway carts and a StoopidStore cart! that's proof a couple of times now that loonie carts will be left willy-nilly if the snow is high enough. Kim's philosophy: When In Doubt, Lift Cart. (05 March)
