Nickles & Dimes

[starzrider]

          When I was very young, my sister was able to con me out of a good portion of my weekly allowance by getting me to swap my dimes for nickles, which of course were worth half as much but were physically twice as big a coin. I couldn't figure out why she was always able to buy twice as much candy at the store or root beer floats at the stand

Aw <3 I actually know somebody else whose brother used to do that to them! You're not alone. Hey, at least you probably made that guy's wife happy by giving them to her. :) That 's always a good thing!

My sister has lent me enough money through the years to more than make up for it!!!! I don't know if his wife enjoyed the magazines but I got a good laugh at myself ;)

You are such a good friend to me, dearest Cat, and I don't deserve it--I have been struggling with these pesky "end-of-life" issues as my psych calls them and frankly have been trying to find a reason each day to get out of bed. I do (get out of bed) but don't really know why. Habit, I suppose. I do think of you often---I will check your journal to see if your hiatus is over. I hope you are more than well. You deserve to thrive. *Hugs* and ♥
