    Anyway, it's the height of hypocrisy for the State of Mississippi (the poorest state and one of the 3 least educated) to be going after "welfare money" when the same government spends 14 million a year for just 3 of their public college football coaches.

     

    Priorities. Education isn't on their list.

    You know who gets robbed a lot?  Colorado Weed Dispensaries.  

    Well that might have changed but I watch a news special on it a few years ago.  They can't put the money in banks so they always have a lot of cash at the store.

     

    Our local dispensary (in Illinois) has at least three armed guards on site at all times. They don't accept credit cards, but they accept debit/ATM cards, which cuts down on the cash they keep. They check your ID when you walk in and scan it for their records if you're a new customer. And there are cameras all over the place. I'm not inclined to rob anybody, but if I were, that would be a place I'd skip.

    Most banks don't even have a lot of money on hand. I found this out when I went to buy a motorcycle with cash. I went to my local Bank of America branch on a Friday and wanted to take out $16,000. Naturally, I assumed that they had loads of cash back in the vault, but apparently they don’t. They said we can't give you the $16k because it's payday, and we don't want to give away that much cash on a payday. I ended up having to go to three different branches to scrape together the $16k. LOL They said in the future, if you want a lot of cash, place an order for it beforehand.

     

    Why not just ask the bank to write a cashier's check? That's as good as cash for purchasing a vehicle or paying closing fees on a house, and it's a lot safer than having sixteen grand in your pocket.

    I once microwaved an egg sunny side up.  When I put a fork on it & broke the yolk, the thing exploded.  Egg on the kitchen ceiling & my ears were ringing from the explosion.  

     

    I know someone who tried "hard boiling" eggs in the microwave for Easter. I could almost hear the voice of Peppermint Pattie yelling, "Marcie!!"

    All i'm saying is after all the games are played, we're stuck with the Chiefs in the AFC title again, what's the point of all of this?

     

    The Bills got their skulls crushed by the Pats for 20 years, and we all just accepted it without complaint.  Now the Chiefs have ascended and there's virtually 0 hope for all AFC teams until he's retired.

     

    How is it fair?  That's all I'm saying.

     

    What solution do you have in mind?
