Found some Savings bonds!

Checks website to see how much they are worth......

 

[RobBase]

nope

just my weiner.

You’re supposed to put it in it.

 

[Me]

didn't do much last night.
went to a friend's house where we picked some leftover blue crabs, grilled some burgers and had some wine. It was pretty nice.

Came home, had some more wine that NYC girl opened on Sunday that was pretty bad, but needs to be drank...and had an ice cream sandwich.

probably going to bake some pumpkin bread tonight.

my wine stash needs to be replenished.

Want some beer?

 

[Me]

Still kicking. First good night in awhile. Hopefully a positive that comes from this is that I've lost weight. Hopefully keep trending back to health

ROLO!

Two out of the 5 aren't able to be cashed until 2030.... So I'm sure I'll be able to retire and live comfortably after 2030

2030? Did someone buy you savings bonds for your college graduation? WTF?

I stand corrected... Those two were bought in 2000 and 2001. Thought she got them for me when I was much much much younger. Guess not

I remember getting involved in a savings bond chain letter when I was a teenager. Mom tried to prevent me from doing it, but I learned the hard way.

Back then, these things were literally mailed out.

Get a letter with directions, 10 names and addresses are listed. Buy a $25 savings bond, send it to the name at the top. Take the top name off, put yours on the bottom, and send the list to two of your friends.

Get rich.

Like most pyrammidal schemes, you end up losing money.

My lesson cost only $25. Folks in Amway and such don't always get off as easy.

Yeah I was wrong and ended up with Covid. I took my L yesterday

Around these parts, we refer to it as 'La Rona.'

I believe they fully mature after like 20 years. But you can still cash them early
