Dang it,:blue: the Danforth is all I have, that and a Mercruiser 120 block. :rolleyes:

It's pretty cheeky of the pictorial writer to assume that a reader (?) would know what that meant. If it was in a boat, a kid in a car seat is going overboard to the bottom. :eek;

Not knowing about ever where else in America, but locally they have been telling people on the news to either have correct change or use credit or debit cards because they are running out of coin change. So I went to out local bank/credit union and got some coin rollers.

We started to roll the huge amount of coins we've collected over the years. OMG that got old in about an hour. I would have never believed we had saved all that coinage. I now understand the coin shortage. It will probably take up to a week or so to get all the coins rolled... I'm already tired of seeing coins. Quarters are one thing. Worth the effort. Pennies are an entirely different thing. Same amount of work, but a mere 50 cents... :eek:

I always wonder what road workers with sever hand disabilities have to be displays for everyone to know.

Or why they only show males sitting in wheel chairs as handicap signs for vehicles....

We got rid of penneys up here a few years ago. Now every price ends in a 5 or a 0, much better!

Haha, ain't that the truth! It's a wonder I don't need a bra after so much snacking when on lockdown!

No No No...:nono:

You aren't supposed to wear a bra, you are supposed to wear a face mask. A bra is only needed for double chin people... :pound::pound::pound:

I learned many moons ago....it takes pennies to make dollars.




We have most of a five gallon bucket full of coins in the closet.


Pennies should be gone like 10 years ago.

I think right now we have way over 100 plus rolls of pennies alone. And I am scanning through them and removing the pre 1982 pennies because their copper content is worth more then the face value. Sounded like a good idea when I started doing that, but not looking as good now after doing that for a while. We have a few 100 dollars worth of quarters already too. And then the nickels and dimes. Sure adds up when you just throw all your change into a container for years. But since we now only use a debit card for everything, you hardly even need change anymore. Just time to get them all out of here...

You don't have to bother rolling the coins now, they have the sorter machines you just pour the coins into and it spits out cash. I think our local Wal Mart has one.
