I finally was able to go to the NuSkin Center and put in the order for 59 bags. +10 corporate matching bonus = 69 bags * 30 meals = 2,070 meals.
As promised, here are some pictures with a one liner or two explanation.
I'll start with some pics of me and my kids. doing some other transaction in a local bank.
Dabs and his son
Dabs Daughter
Then some unrelated business inside a bank, I notice they were all gearing up to donate relief goods to the victims of the super typhoon.
Inside Bank
Inside Bank, packing stuff
Inside Bank, more stuff

I just posed. I have no connection to the goods there other than I'm a client of the bank.
Now, to the actual transaction itself.

And finally, the result.
Vitameal bought Nov 22 2013
Includes a little thank you post card signed by the President of Indonesia / Philippines. The signature looks mass produced or printed, but he can't personally sign everything.
I decided to add a few more pictures of something I did way back in July.
Dabs with 290,000 PHP (valued at 67 BTC when it was $100 USD per BTC)
Dated 2013-07-31
290,000 Philippine Pesos in cold hard cash
a check totalling 3.3 million Philippine Pesos (could have bought 800 BTC then.)
Almost a million Philippine Pesos
Was worth 232 BTC then.
Now, they are worth less. I mean, they are worth 6 or 7 times less since the value of BTC has gone up the roof.
Explanation:
I hold large amounts of cash, that is NOT MY MONEY.
I sign checks that is NOT MY MONEY. I can sign, I am a signatory.
I have the passwords to the corporate bank account of the company I work for.
I am responsible for the payroll of over 180 employees. I have access to their money before it gets sent to them.
This implies, at any point in time, I can run away and disappear with 1000 (one thousand) bitcoins worth but this is in cold hard cash, or checks that I can turn into cash.
Now, some of you may be thinking, "oh no, someone is going to follow Dabs around and mug him when he has cash." now that these pictures are on the internet.
And oh, those pictures of the cash, have been around since July, so ... ... (okay, it's part of my bid for the fund raising being done by Phin, and I'm trying to be a forum treasurer too, hehehe.)
The same could be said about Roger Ver and Mark Vernon (who is now staying in the Philippines). They both have a lot more coins than I do, fiat and bits.
Well, no one knows when that will be. And when I get an assignment, I will of course be prepared for such and have a contingency plan.
Usually, it's shoot now, ask questions later. If I'm holding 4 million in cash, and someone attempts to grab it from me, I don't need to think much about it and just go into instinct mode.
(Did I mention I carry a government model 1911 in .45 ACP everywhere?)
