Splurge
The splurge continues.
I spent eight coins at a local Green Frog market buying microwave dinners for my lunch at work.
I exchanged one coin for a dollar bill with a co-worker so that I could buy a soda from a vending machine.
I gave a co-worker one coin so that she would do vital signs on one of my patients for me.
I spent two more coins buying another cinnamon roll at the same donut shop as yesterday. Damn! I might spend the remainder of the coins on a cardiologist.
Sixty-five shiny coins remaining.

So you have been walking around clinking with a hundred coins in your pocket?

what kind of reaction are the clerks giving you? I recently did the same thing with spending around the ‘hood, but I had about 100 $2 bills.

These young new cashiers probably have never seen a “silver dollar” and are amazed that it’s not just a cute itty bitty miniature pancake.
Sonik… everytime you mention a cinamon roll on your blog it makes me crave a zinger, or a twinkie. Of course seeing as I have ZERO willpower, I immediately run down the street to the mini mart and pick one up.
I’m going to go into a diabetic coma… I haven’t had this much sugar my whole life.

Most clerks and the two co-workers that have received the coins are wide-eyed. “Oh, what’s this?” Some people have surprisingly little reaction. The guy I bought the gas from just put them in the cash register. No reaction. The lady at the dry cleaners was even more non-plussed.
Since the coins are broken into rolls of 25, I just take at most one roll with me when I leave home.
As for cinnamon rolls, they are quite good but I think I’m done with them for a while. The one this morning got me full. What does that mean when you get full from an overly large cinnamon roll. Dad, can I have some diabetes?

Maybe you can have a beer for breakfast for the next few blogs?
