Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thank you for sharing that funny story Donna. Isn't it funny that they come to the point where they can no longer relate to what is real and what is not. I am so happy about this discovery, because Jim is always asking me to leave him money and I'm so hesitant to do it. I would leave no more than $5.00 sometimes, but most of the time I do not have money in the house. It gets hoarded away somewhere never to be seen again and I get blamed for stealing it, until one day when I am cleaning out drawers, shoes, pockets, pillow cases and who knows what else it appears. The Phoney Money is a great way to let him have money. He doesn't have a clue that it is not the real thing. Once it's in his hands, you can not pry them open. He's got a real hold on it, so noone will steal it. And when he thinks noone is looking he hides it. If he blames me for stealing it, I just get another look alike piece of phoney money out and give it to him and he is happy that I didn't steal it and gave it back to him. I'm glad I could bring back an old memory to you. Jan --- Donna Mido wrote: > Jan, > > I had a good laugh when I heard about the money he > was happy with.
