[QUOTE="charley, post: 24616327, member: 5372"]I don't understand anything in this Thread. It all seems complicated. I have 41 Metamucil containers (large size). For a while I would use a pencil and write .01 or .05 or .10 or .25 or .50 on the top of the container. It became exhausting, so I gave up that stupid practice, and just putting whatever was in my pocket into the same container...sort of a mix and match. It has a pleasant side benefit, because when they are full, she can't pick them up easily and she gets irritated trying to count the contents. Before, she would head like a rabid dog to the ones marked .25 and .50, and the containers would seem to be emptier each day. I caught on to the sleight of hand, and marked a couple with the same denomination and filled them with washers/screws/nails, etc. half way, and top them off with cents. That really pizzed her off, because she couldn't really say anything without admitting her octopus fins had been in the jar, because up to then it was always "...I didn't take the cookies; you probably thought the containers were full...". So, for the last couple of years, every now and then I "seed" a container with all kinds of stuff I have used bird seed, chicken feed, etc., just to help her go to Mass with a clear conscience. I aint got no stinkin' record.[/QUOTE]
