I don't use money much anymore, so I don't care that much. I have to check my "wallet" to see if I have enough to pay SSM for ice cream. We use debit cards so we can see how we spent our money.
Side Note: Mom went to Aldi's yesterday and got $60.00 of food. She only had $50 on her card. Before she could call home for me to put more on it, the lady behind her PAID the DIFFERENCE! She told her to pass it forward. Yup this is the He!! of the town we live in. LOL

for all Obama has done for the country over the past 8 years he should get his likeness on an urinal block. Is that like poetic justice. He pizzed on us now we would get to pizz on him back.

That's awesome Dave. I actually had that happen recently and actually felt so awkward. I was at Chick Fil A drive thru in Normal and the cashier said the guy in front of me paid for mine, Merry Christmas....very nice gesture..... I just was not feeling benevolent enough to pay for the next guy if it was maybe going to be a $40 bill when mine was like $8.... It was nice, but I felt like a bit of a heel accepting it and not paying for the next in line. I know what you are saying but no need to feel that way. I am willing to bet at a later date and time or in the past he was rewarded in or about the same matter. No# 1 son worked years ago for my dear friend Mr. Andy Palko and one Sunday a lady from Pontiac pulled into the station and was in a frantic because she had to get home in time to pickup her child and was low on gass. She had no money with her at the time and said please could she put in $8.00 dollars to get her home and she would happily send him the money back. My son then took $18.00 out of his own pocket and topped her tank of and said don't worry about it be safe and have a good day. He came home from work and told me she was so grateful and in tears and said I promise to send you the money back and she left. It had been almost 2 weeks and on a Saturday my son went into work and the mailman brought in the mail and there was a letter with my son's name on it. Inside was a letter of appreciation and $50.00 bill. Now fast forward some 18 yrs. and son number two also help and worked at Palkos and one day someone we all know from here was in a hurry and had left the house without her purse and needed gas. She only needed enough to get home and back my son forwarded her the money. She went right home came right back with the few dollars but my son would not take it she said no matter what or how she tried to give to him. She left and later called me to say how awesome of a son I had that he helped her out in a time of need no questions asked and refused take anything for it. He also has since been blessed in other ways. I couldn't be more proud of my son's and as life has gone on it is true WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. So Southsideman I am willing to bet at one point or another you your self helped someone out and what you thought was small potatoes to you may have been HUGE to them.

Back on track I really don't care either who is on what bill I just happy to see a bill over $1 in my wallet or have a bill at all.......lol
P.S.
It is all politically motivated with who they did put on the new $10.00 bill no doubt and from what I heard from some they still were not satisfied with it.

On several occasions, I have helped pay someone's purchase. Though I do not expect payment back, I do not expect the same people to keep trying to get me to do it again. It is disheartening.

a urinal puck could be a big seller though yeah but....... it might have people pi$$ing on walls and floors instead of on the urinal puck. I have heard more than one person say "I would not pi$$ on him if he were on fire." So you see he may not even make for a good target for peeing. Maybe if he were drowning......

That is totally different when someone is deliberately trying to take advantage of your good nature.
