Seriously, I misplaced 100 $100 bills somewhere in my home. I hid it in case I needed it for a barn wood purchase ever since the bank limited my withdraws to $2,000 daily, and only if I give them a three day notice.

I've always maintained for the past few months I knew where I put it. I guess I'm losing my fuckin' mind. I know it wasn't stolen, ergo I falsely remembered where I stashed it.

It was pretty embarrassing when I didn't have the entire several grand to pay one of my pickers. Luckily, I was only one phone call away from getting cash from a friend to pay him.

Now, where the fuck did I hide a bundle of bills?

BTW, the same Sandwich bank was shut down because (how can I say this politely) the president stole money. Within 24 hours, the bank had new owners--Heartland.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

How long ago did you hide it?

Try taking something the same size, pretend it's valuable and look for a place to stash it. Odds are there aren't that many places you'd hide something worth $10,000.

Still around.

Every time I lose something, I think "ok where's the last place I would put it, because I know that's a fucking dumb place and I would forget to look there" and voila!

Also, what's your address, and do you own a rottweiler?

I know where it is. It's in the last place you'll look. First check the oven so you don't accidentally burn it. Then check you pockets, you may have "laundered" them in the washer.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Also, what's your address, and do you own a rottweiler?


Corner of Center and Castle in Sandwich, IL. Home of Trickie that barks at anything that moves.



It's in the *other* hiding place.

Obviously!

You're not going to believe this, but I figured it out half through typing the word "obviously". Pocket of an obsolete winter coat I gave to the Goodwill. Seriously, it's still in the closet. Now, I need a different hiding place since I told everybody about it. Any suggestions?

Actually, that's the first time I ever used a pocket. The only thing I can think of is that while penning "obviously", obsolete came to mind, enabling me to figure it out. It's amazing how the mind work.

I have a safe! Purchased it locked without a combo. It's never been opened since I owned it. Paid twenty bucks for it.

The last one I owned, I paid five bucks for it. After a couple years I couldn't stand it any longer so I pried it opened from the side only to find a business card and a couple other pieces of ephemera.

Honestly, I wasn't sweatin' it. A slight inconvenience/embarrassment, but other than that I laughed it off while it was yet to be found, knowing all the while it would be. Just didn't know when or where during the interim.

Tongue Now get a better hiding spot that you can be sure it's there when you need it. I remember my old grandmother loved to hide valuables in an old oven she seldom used...
