[...] Money, money, money, MONEY from my plausible explanations for inexplicable crap series. I don’t know if it’s one of my best posts, but it’s one of the few that my husband has spontaneously complimented me about, which means a lot to me. [...]

I saw you on the Junk Drawer Blog and decided to check you out. I’m glad I did cause you are funny!! The only thing I think you missed is that people also have the urge to jump in those fountains as well as toss coins in them. And if you get a chance, stop by my blog and enter my anniversary contest.

I LOVE the idea of hiding money around for random strangers, I'll have to start doing that! As soon as I start carrying actual money around, that is. I never even have a coin in my pocket for a shopping cart deposit (do you have that over there? Or are we the only people in the world who have to pay for a cart?).

I think your method of "sowing" small amounts of money makes more sense than tossing it mindlessly into a fountain. How does it benefit anyone that way? Except those people who have no pride or dignity and wade into the fountain to scoop up the coins. Um . . . I've only heard about these people, mind you.

@Vered when I was a semi-single mom (my husband was overseas) the fountains were a lifesaver! I’d give Alex a baggie of pennies and let him throw them in one by one while I got a chance to sit and have a cup of coffee.

OTOH, the basement of the building that houses the kid’s pediatrician’s office has a coin vortex to raise money for the kid’s hospital. It is sometimes a pain in the butt to make sure they all get a turn and the hallway is very echoy, which amplifies the whining.

@Kathy, OMG, yes. I can’t think of anything my mother doesn’t hoard. I can’t post it on my blog, but their Beanie Baby collection is a thing of legends.

@Kim my Etsy shop opens next week – Craftastrophe has promised a big write up!

@MrNuggets fold up a pristine two dollar bill? Are you mad man? The other Korean mom will have to iron it! I was raised to be considerate, Mr!

@TwoHands Up your butt and around the corner. Teehee, I never tire of saying that.

@Online Colleges Thanks for the Terrance Trent D’Arby earworm!

@Travelwriter I like to think small acts of generosity keep my heart and mind open.

@Cath! That’s even better, you’re brilliant! That way I’m sowing my fortune but I still get the seeds back. WIN!

@Online Colleges, he’s funny, isn’t he?

I checked out NumbNuggets post about what to give extraordinary waiters/waitress, that is pretty cool. I waited tables and I would have loved to get one of those!

LMAO Tracy – I hide money for myself to find later – it always comes in useful. But I’ve never hid it for strangers before.

Spending small amounts of money is probably a good way to stay open minded (Stinky people are generally not open minded)
