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...

*John remembers the day when he tried to bake some cookies and thought the tooth fairy gave him a $500 cash advance*

I thought for sure you came here wanting to offer up your services as escrow.  Grin

 Tongue I have a forum life outside escrowing you know.

I know! Wait till you see my comment on the other thread.  Grin

glad you found it!

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.

Way to keep your cool, I myself have lost things that I'be let drive me nuts and in my opinion the stress is far worse than losing the money.

Speaking of keeping cool and drive, I lost my brakes about 14 miles from home today. What did I do. Continue to where I was going (only two more miles), and load up, then drive home sans brakes. Luckily, I knew the back way with minimal traffic. I think it's the booster, but not sure till I look at it tomorrow.

Also, it was wood I was stealing from a barn while the farmer was away. I did it during daylight hours to not look suspicious. Don't believe me that that's how I get all my barn wood? Then ask Josh. He'll tell you.

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.

i am sorry for your lost.

If you worry about it enough you'll dream of the location.

This explains a lot.  I sometimes wondered what color the sky was in your world  Cheesy

Good to hear you found your stash.

Sam Spade: We were talking about a lot more money than this.
Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.
