Val Picks Up Some Common CENTS, But Has Apparently Lost Her Senses.

Whew! I was afraid that Even Steven had seen fit to deprive Val of a SINGLE CENT this week! It took until FRIDAY, January 18th, to nab a numismatic morsel. The wait was worth it, though, because when I entered Orb K after a several-days absence, and figured out where they'd moved the scratcher display board... I found THIS:


A double dose of Future Pennyillionaire coins, left there just for me! Looks like Orb K is ready for the storm rolling in tomorrow morning.


The 2014 penny was face-down, which I've come to expect. Seems like way more than 50% of my floor-Lincolns can't meet my eye.


The 1988 dime was face-up, though. Even though FDR hid some health concerns from his public, he is not afraid to meet Val's gaze.

      I only got it because Genius speaks so highly of it, and I felt bad for making fun of LaCroix on CasinoPalooza 3. Haven't tried it yet.

      I prefer my water straight out of the faucet, not even from FRIG II's door dispenser. We have well water, which doesn't mean I have to take a bucket outside to fetch it.

    What's wrong with flavoured sparkling water? Or did you buy the wrong flavour by mistake?
    I wonder if your facedown Abe's are feeling a little downtrodden...

      It's the internet-alleged "tasteless" LaCroix that Genius is crazy for. He said this was the best flavor, and to drink it ice cold. Hick was not impressed when he tried one.

      Heh, heh. At least I pick up Abe, and don't tread on him and leave him there like the rest of the populace of Backroads.

    You are definitely on your way to vast riches!
    You can make your own sparkling water, you know. The payback is fairly quick. and you can certainly do a better job of flavoring than you'll get from LaCroix or anyone else.

      I'm rakin' in more every week!

      I did not know that I could make my own sparkling water, perhaps because I don't LIKE sparkling water, so the thought never occurred to me. I like my water flat and dull, with no taste other than "water,", which should be nothing. Genius and Hick are the fancy-water drinkers.

    Must have been something in your sub-conscious. Thinking about your son?

      I was consciously thinking about him, after he'd gotten all animated on my 10:00 p.m. phone call to him for help with my internet. I said I'd seen LaCroix in Walmart, and he said I should try it.
