When we started sorting through her things, we were stunned by how much she really didn't trust banks.<br /><br />I usually find ticket stubs in my pockets. Not worth much but I have triggered a nice memory or two.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-70718848608319526372013-11-16T19:12:33.632-08:002013-11-16T19:12:33.632-08:00My 86 y/o mother is so hyperparanoid about being b...My 86 y/o mother is so hyperparanoid about being broken into that she's constantly hiding stuff and forgetting where it is. It drives me crazy. I have little patience for it. She has been doing this for years and years. One of my friends found money stashed all over her mom's house after she died too. Must be that generation.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-80603035166956686552013-11-16T16:25:41.821-08:002013-11-16T16:25:41.821-08:00A couple times I've hidden money on jacket poc...A couple times I've hidden money on jacket pockets and then forgot about it.

I've even cancelled a few. I do put change in my pockets as well and then am happy when I find the $3 or $10 later. I'm even happier when I find it in my husband's pockets! No memories though. Those are usually stuffed in drawers or boxes.theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621187880594813876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-8628990587918418722013-11-16T10:23:46.653-08:002013-11-16T10:23:46.653-08:00When I worked in the used bookstore, you wouldn...When I worked in the used bookstore, you wouldn't believe the things I found in people's books, many after they'd already sold the books and taken off, so they could not be returned. I've seen naked photos of customers I recognize (eek!), read teen-age love letters, found old documents from hundred year-old school exams to slave ownership papers. <br /><br />Note to everyone: get the stuff out of your books!Kelly Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752857506190488860noreply@blogger.com
