I found a bhutanese ngultrum coin in my gym bag last night. No arabic lettering, so I have no clue the value. Teared up a bit, I did. I loved that time and place.

'Trash'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have coinage from all my travels and a few bills stashed next to my US change. Including a fair chunk of Canadian money I never remember to take to Canada. When I was little I'd raid my father's pockets when he came back from abroad. I had the largest collection.
I have now learnt that vinaigrette stings like tomatoes. Worse than pepper. Whyever am I suddenly so acid-sensitive? Also, why am I eating salad?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ita - I thought of someone else for your sites, but now I can't remember. I thought it might be Patrick Wilson, but it's not him - he doesn't ping me the way whoever it is does. BAH stupid old brain.

The urge will come back to you, msbelle, and I will be ready and grateful.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
PC, keep the franc. Start a collection. This one's a freebie. I mean, free from plane fare.
It feels unearned. I've never been to France! But I am definitely keeping it.

I have a handful of foreign coin, some now worthless with the euro. But how do I love the mountains and castles and fertility goddesses and water buffalos and dzongs and kremlin and and and pictured therein? Lots. I still have USSR rubles and fucking kopeks! From the month before it all fell apart!

Save it for your visit to France and spend it then. Actually, I don't know about the Euro stuff.

I have at least one coin from every country I've been to, except maybe Luxembourg. And some I haven't.

I have made it safely to Indianapolis. They do not have different money here but I am still glad to be here. Last stretch was not as awesome as the rest, but still ok. Due to an amusing mix up I am not now on my way to my brother in law`s house but instead at a swanky hotel. Which, money ouch, but it is very nice and I am very tired.
Awesome news about the shingles meds, congrats.
