I guess I should read the Tuesday RGBP post just so I know what's coming.<BR/>Jan, um, this Teddy (not Terry) is of the male persuasion. <BR/>Presbyterian Gal, my brother and I used to go to the movies with 50 cents between us, see the movie (and cartoon) and get candy as well! Of course this was on an Army post and was perhaps during Joseph's time.<BR/>Emjaydee, you remind me of a film we saw in 8th grade about the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. (The A of C preceded our Constitution). The A of C was so loose that states had their own coinage, which caused trade problems for the lead character, a farmer named Tom Schuler. I don't know why I remember this. We do have the odd narrow-gauge railroad here but they are usually for special purposes.<BR/>SonShineIn, maybe they bought the dresser used too? Or maybe the American tooth fairy had the night off and the Indian tooth fairy left this coin?<BR/>Processing Counselor, my candy bar was a little on the gritty side because it had pecan praline bits in it.<BR/>Thanks for all the comments!Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054225496921311123.post-30222832797447534472008-10-18T06:19:00.000-04:002008-10-18T06:19:00.000-04:00I notice those endangered species bars are kind of...I notice those endangered species bars are kind of gritty.

Is Sarah Palin the Manchurian candidate in this election?<BR/><BR/>Also, in an old dresser drawer from our new old house I found a 2-rupee coin from India minted in 1958. The previous owners being anything but the world-traveling type, I sure do wonder how it got there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054225496921311123.post-86192897882697598222008-10-17T23:15:00.000-04:002008-10-17T23:15:00.000-04:00Common Cents sounds a great programme.

They all had different gauge train tracks until the 1970s or so. One route was not standardised until 1995! I really enjoyed your play.Mavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742184738139404524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054225496921311123.post-26368131247827841212008-10-17T19:07:00.000-04:002008-10-17T19:07:00.000-04:00It's the lectionary!
