Suze, if you somehow find yourself in the Milwaukee area, look me up and I'll treat you to some frozen custard (no coffee though, I can't stand the stuff).

Off to look up where Milwaukee is....

Really. ♥

EDIT.... :( It doesn't look like I'm going to be in that part of the country. Shame; I would so love to meet you. :hug:

Thanks okay, Suze...just means more custard for me:)

I'm 5 hours from Milwaukee in the stix.

Florida wintertime.

3 weeks and 3 days to go.... :biggrin:

I drink french press too, the oilier the better. There is a type of coffee available that first has to pass through the digestive system of a cat. Hipsters love it

Bill you are definitely not square more like a Renaissance man I reckon

What kind of a cat? Is it a decent cat? Maybe British? The kind of cat I should know? As for me, I'm not square. If I'm at all Renaissance, I'm a Renaissance Cube. DaVinciCube if you will.
I think that the Peruvian Indian (Quechua) ladies chew something before they put it in beer (chicha) served out in buckets with foam floating on top. Bon appetit!

Hmmm....how did we get here exactly.... ;)

Another fantastic day, massive amounts achieved, including the US currency I now own....oh my gosh....it does not look real....people say it looks like Monopoly money; I have to agree.

If it's all different colours, you've been hoodwinked Suze :lmao

D

^^^ He he he.... :biggrin:

What was the process for getting the money, Suze?

Did you just walk into the bank? Did they have to special order it for you to pick up?

I just walked in and bought it...it depends I guess; it was only a small amount so that I can have some cash on me. I tried to order it online, but the print function wasn't working for the receipt process...so today I popped into the bank and walked out with this funny money about 30 minutes later. ;) :)

Wow!

Now I'm wildly curious about how many different currencies my US bank has!

I think I'll ask today!

And you say you can print US cash online?

I wouldn't have thought it possible, because our bills have traditionally been a paper and cloth mixture.

ORDER online love, not print.... :)

L-o-l!

Yes, it looks that way because that's what it is. America is the land of money and monopoly. The land of fast foods and fast driving. Where "selfie's" reign, photographically, intellectually (assuming "intellect" is a valid description) and spiritually ("If I get to heaven will there be anyone there I should know? Will there be rock music? Will they serve 'smoothies'? What should I wear- are jeans and sandal shoes O.K.? Will I get a chance to go shopping before my funeral? If it has to be wings I take a Size 14")

Seriously, I would not carry around "massive amounts of currency". :deeWhat ever happened to credit cards, or, in the old days, travelers' checks?

Yes, to the very end.

Losing weight does not help since Galileo proved at the Tower of Pisa that thin people fall at the same speed as fat people (the latter actually may fall slower due to wind resistance).

P,S.To my earlier post about credit cards, etc. It's safer to have two or three, since mine got swallowed by a sidewalk ATM in London a few years ago and a replacement was not sent to me until I arrived back home.
Of course you can always use the "Change" window at the airport or rail station (the latter I guess only if the station has international trains). I tried to use one in Lima, Peru, having been paid $100 for a lecture with a one or two million Peruvian "Sols" in a paper bag. The "Change" man said they were "out of U.S. dollars", but I suspect he was seeking a bribe. Since I was still drinking at the time I should have bought some Peruvian Pisco brandy but somehow neglected to do that and, when the flight left near midnight ,no drinks were served en route. Got off briefly in Panama and had a quick beer. It sure is wonderful not to be dependent on a substance! After 28 years of sobriety I think it would be safe for me to travel alone but I'd have to be extra careful. If you're only with your AV you've got the wrong kind of company!

Omg, I am dying over here laughing, Bill. :)

:lmao

If you're laughing yourself to death, you'd better go shopping right away so you'll be decently dressed for heaven. Are the men still unshaven and sloppy looking up in Heaven or do they get sent directly to Hell? My wife and I stayed in a ferociously expensive hotel in Positano, Italy, several years ago The women were all looking elegant but their billionaire husbands looked like garage mechanics. I suspected that some of them smelled. I would not even let my dog lift his leg on those men!:dee He's English by the way. Going to get him a little doggie rolled up umbrella. Toff dog!

Bill.

Have a nice day today Suze x

Ha! Well, even Sisyphus caught a break and was able to push the rock downhill every once in awhile. I suspect he was never in San Francisco.

On our money is the saying "E Pluribus Unum." A fine motto for SR. 😀

I didn't know we could print our money though - that's exciting! I'm headed to go get some new green and black toner cartridges.

Ahem--I've been informed that it's ORDER, not print!

Too bad!

Darn!!! And I suppose you're going to tell me next that to order up some money, the bank needs to believe you actually HAVE the money in your bank account.

Boo. No fun.

Thank you wolfie love. ♥

Yes my darling, this is in fact true. Don't waste your money on the ink cartridges.... :lmao

♥ And I need to talk to you Lillian my love....only 3 weeks and 2 days until I leave, based in San Francisco for two weeks from Nov 21....

Actually, how nice is this.....my friend upstairs, Cassidy, Is from Modesto and her mum loves me (she is pretty awesome herself :)), and gas invited me for thanksgiving with their family. And they are going to come and get me....car service door-to-door. :) And they are not big drinkers....it's going to be so lovely I think. ♥

Beautiful, Goat.

Sorry about the typos before, and yes, I know I'm the only one who cares.
It's ego, and I kind of like how it keeps popping up for me....always reminding me that my recovery work is paramount, as important a part of my day as eating and showering. ♥
