Saturday Special: Where Do You Hide Things?
Remember a couple days ago when I wrote about people who stash large quantities of cash around their home? (No? You can find the post HERE.) I still think a bank is the best place for cash, but for those who do need to keep cash (or other hidden items…) at home, look at this […]
Money Stashers
How much cash do you have on hand? According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, approximately $1.28 trillion dollars in cash are in circulation in the United States.

Once upon a time in a galaxy far away, I lived in the land of the frozen tundra. Which is to say Detroit. Where the weak are killed and eaten. Where a twenty-six mile commute can take three hours to get to work and another three to get home. Where the entire month of February […]
What Happened To Jennifer Kesse?
Today would have been Jennifer Kesse’s 33rd birthday. But instead of celebrating, her family and friends are wondering where she is. Jennifer has been missing since January 24, 2006 when she failed to show up for her job at Central Florida Investments in Orlando, Florida. Jennifer was 24 years old at the time. She lived […]

If you guessed May 12th, you’re correct! On Monday, May 12th, The Twelve launched Flight 12! That tops this […]
