Geez, **Sauron** , it’s just two grand! Get over it!

😃

I’m very happy for your good fortune, **Pammipoo**. You might want to do some ranting anyway, though, or you’ll seriously piss **Potter** off! 😉

Heh.

The funny thing is, the register lady looked at me funny when I handed her the coins to “even out” the cost of the food, so I explained to her that doing this would get me a dime back, instead of a pocketful of silver and copper. She still looked askance, and I started wondering to myself if I had done the math correctly. When she rang it up, though, I realized **I** wasn’t the one with a tenuous grasp of mathematical principals.
