Ok, that was 8 years ago. I was thinking recent. But it's still terrible, who doesn't know a $2 bill isin't legit? And those cops are stupid, they should have laughed in the face of the lunch lady. Instead, this lunch lady is laughing at them

Oh I didn't know that $2 bill arrest was 8 years ago, but I knew it was legit, mainstream news. Still very surprising.

I remember:

Lincoln, Lincoln, I've been thinkin.
What on earth have you been drinkin?
Is it whiskey? Is it wine?
Oh my God. It's turpentine.

Turpentine will give you a remember when moment! Tell your grandchildren about it.

That was a big job cycling to the bank and back with all that cash. Those were the days.

Just don't trust Uncle Billy with cash.

I find this very hard to believe. Not saying you are lying but as a lunch lady myself, I know all forms of cash are accepted. And the responding officer would actually arrest a kid for this? Nope, don't believe the story

I remember in my first job, I was pay weekly by cash in an envelop. Before long, it was pay into a bank account.

Mom and I were stopped by a charity group outside a food store,they asked us for donation, mom took out a handful of coins that probably around $10, they refused to take it as they no longer use cash, they want us to give them through our bank card. Mom say no, just cash and she offered to buy the raffle tickets from them, they also can not accept cash for it. They told us to donate to them online, my mom does not have a computer.

I bought a Mexican hat at charity store for $1, when I gave them $1 coin, they told me they prefer I pay them by bank card. They want to go cashless.

They probably want your info so they can spam you and sell your information to other companies to span you as well. Even Big charities treat you like they're a dog and you're their bone. When my nephew died 2 years ago I made a one time donation in memory to the National Kidney Foundation. I checked the box that said "one time donation" and made sure to uncheck the one that said "send me email updates". They wouldn't stop spamming my inbox no matter how many times I hit the unsub link in their spams or sent emails begging to be removed. I finally had to block them totally. Now I get paper solicitations in the snail mail . On the bright side 3-4 times a year is better than every other week plus the feeling of ripping an envelope is almost as satisfying as slamming down the receiver used to be.

Speaking of charities remember when you got a little card that had slots for dimes for the March of Dimes? They took cash one dime at a time.

I'm so old I remember the day in 8th grade science class back in the late 50's (59 I think) that the teacher was explaining what smoking and drinking did to the veins and arteries. We were taught that smoking made them shrink and drinking made them expand. She actually told us that if we smoked we should drink and if we drank then we should smoke..... How did that lady ever get a teaching degree?

Well, it was the 50s... It wasn't until the mid 60s that the surgeon general at the time concluded that smoking was unhealthy.
