So, I never put any money in my pants pockets. I bet you don't either.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-33951663459418976222012-09-07T23:18:47.879-05:002012-09-07T23:18:47.879-05:00I lost the money when I decided to leave my purse ...I lost the money when I decided to leave my purse in the car so I had tucked my cash into my pocket.

Then, I have heard it's bad luck if tails and to let it lie. Heads is only supposed to be good luck. However, I don't discrimate against a penny..lol.<br /><br />Finding money in thrift store purchases was the subject of a conversation yesterday. My friend found a $10 Lowe's card in a thrift store purse. Then, she found five dollars in a yard sale purse. You have been quite lucky in the money finds, especially finding money right outside your car door. <br /><br />Now, how did you lose $80???Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-40249801967626809672012-09-07T01:41:11.803-05:002012-09-07T01:41:11.803-05:00I have heard that some people believe finding a &q...I have heard that some people believe finding a "heads"up penny is a message from a dead loved one. I have also heard that a heads up coin is lucky. <br /><br />I recently found $8.50 in a thrift store! $8 was in a purse that I paid $1.98 for and the 50c was in another purse I was checking. I will continue to keep my eyes open when shopping that store!<br /><br />I'm not always lucky..... One day about 20 years ago I lost $80 in a different thrift store. OUCH! That one really hurt!<br /><br />Another time I was at a stop sign when I saw something blowing around in the street right outside my drivers side door. I put the car in park, jumped out and picked it up. It was a $20!<br />Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024512934812657769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-50955253243936342352012-09-06T16:07:50.411-05:002012-09-06T16:07:50.411-05:00John,

However, I presume those folks were not aware they dropped money or there was any money under their feet to pick up. <br /><br />Vertigo or a bad back is a dfferenet case. I can see your explaining to ER or ambulance guys how you came to get a concussion--picking up some quarters. <br /><br />The arrogance some people verbally express and the lack of caring when guys drop change and see it is what gets me.<br /><br />But, hey, not a problem. I get money. <br /><br />I am glad your vertigo at last went away.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-54042134203580312672012-09-06T14:27:27.113-05:002012-09-06T14:27:27.113-05:00At college I helped clean up the morning after a p...At college I helped clean up the morning after a party and collected over $2 in lost change.<br /><br />I don't judge people by whether they pick up change or not, though. For a period of four months I had vertigo so bad I wouldn't dare stoop down to pick up a roll of quarters for fear of going headfirst into the pavement.John D.

I would have never thought of it since I don't get that much snow. $2 at your feet is a magic!<br /><br />Joanne,<br />I spend mine too. I am not disciplined enough to set it aside. I suppose I need to have a place in the car to place it. I am sure people look at us coin-picker-uppers as losers...lol.

Nobody seems willing to dig through the snow to pick up lost change, but come spring, I've picked up more than $2 just by looking when I get out of the car!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.com
