HOLY CRAP!!!!!

Is what Im thinking right now. Yesterday I went to make the first Girl Scout troop cookie money deposit (over a grand), that I had sat at home organizing for about an hour the night before, and the bank teller took the cash and ran it through the counting machine and everything balanced perfectly. Then she asked me "but where are the checks you listed here"? She searched, I searched and no checks. I just assumed that I had left them on my desk at home and somehow forgot to put them in the envelope.

So when I got home from work there were no checks on my desk. I combed the office and still nothing. So I decided to look in the trash and see if I may have inadvertently threw them away. Aaaaaaand husband had put the trash out to the curb for next day pick up. Wheeled it in, bust open the horrific smelling trash bag and started to dig.

THEY WERE THERE!!!!! Covered in spaghetti sauce. I dont think I have EVER had that happen. And when you consider the expense and the odds I was amazed. Im still amazed. It has given me a new outlook on things. Weird that something like that would have an effect on the big picture.

Not that anyone would care, but I thought it was pretty cool.  ;D

^ Been there and have multiple T-Shirts.

In fact, I do that sort of thing so frequently, that the bins are in the first 3 or 4 places I look.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

I've done things like that. You think NO WAY this or that could have happened but then you face the facts that it did happened.  :o

Exactly! I was being SO meticulous getting it all together. I refused to believe that could of happened until I was faced with coughing up the $400 outta my own pocket. THAT is a good motivator. Ha!!

I'm glad you found them OC, the certainly would have sucked.  My ex-gf's dog once ate $80 (4x$20).  We watched the....output....for a few days to see if anything passed that could be replaced.  No go.

No I did. I was talking about my motivation to go through the trash.

Wow.  That's drama.  Glad it worked out in the end.  You must have given your circulatory system a workout.

Fasting has to be easier when you're in a desert than it is in the freezing cold.  I mean, you need the extra energy don't you?..

I expect you are right.  I used to do three day cleansing fasts, and on the third day, I'd read cookbooks.  But I never did it when the temperatures were extreme, and I imagine either extreme hot or cold would introduce additional stress.  People are advised to keep hydrated, at any rate, and I suspect drinking water for thirst in a desert would be crucial.
