FOUND MONEY!- Bernard Salcedo of Sanford was in his attic and found a box hidden in his insulation. To his surprise, he opened it and there was $100,000 in small bills! He called the cops, they said no one lost it. Turns out, the guy that lived there several years before was murdered in the house. He hid the money up there because he bought and sold guns and was a bail bondsman. Now that Bernard found the money, the guys estranged wife came out of nowhere and said that she has the right to that money. My question to you is "what would you do?" Would you have not said a word and kept it all, called the cops like Bernard did, turn it all over to the wife? Me? You'd be reading in my blog how I'm spending a lot more time on my new boat!

Ticked Off-We were talking this morning about being robbed. Scott had several items stolen from him when he was moving. I've had my car broken in to several times, but the most they got was under $500 each time. Erica wins, she had her 1987 Prelude stolen from her parking lot! Fortunately for her, the stupid criminals just moved it to another parking space to start stripping it and the police found her car minus her front seats. The worst was a caller that said her house was robbed, but they ate her food, drank her beer, and took a shower during the robbery!

You Made What?-Yes, you heard right this morning...I was making taco's last night and thought I was putting the seasoning mix in the meat. Turns out it wasn't the taco seasoning kit. When I mixed it with the water, turned around to slice the lettuce, turned back around and I had formed a nice, thick brown gravy in my meat. I put in a brown gravy mix and not the taco seasoning, gross! What recipe did you blow or meal did you ruin because you put in the wrong ingredient?
