"It's not the treasure, it's the finding of the treasure"...I think from Pirates of the caribbean. Interesting question, though. Once we have it, we toss it in a jar, and yearn to be back out there. thrill of actually making the find. mmmm...twincapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13854890686721751224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526582242783946817.post-40864240234959899242009-04-07T19:27:00.000-07:002009-04-07T19:27:00.000-07:00Twincapes, I was happy to see your post.

I can say that what is found on the paved surface pales in comparison to the lost money that has disappeared just under unpaved surfaces. Visit my blog at http://frugalpirate.blogspot.com/ for my slant on the pursuit. <BR/>thanks- <BR/>Twincapestwincapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13854890686721751224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526582242783946817.post-75311005569084455172009-04-06T10:26:00.000-07:002009-04-06T10:26:00.000-07:00I liked that "lighting up" reference.

This week we are going to Destin Fl for Easter, four couples of friends, two are psychology professors. One is chair of Department at Clemson. It was he that introduced me to money walking. With his permission, I plan to do a formal interview and post it on the web.bleasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117557746170305645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526582242783946817.post-5599970177645430442009-04-05T21:13:00.000-07:002009-04-05T21:13:00.000-07:00If I must be addicted to something I'm glad that i...If I must be addicted to something I'm glad that it is finding money. My husband loves to tell people that we would never starve because I pick up enough to keep us supplied with bread. The truth is that he likes to do the counting after I dump the haul on the counter. Maybe he is addicted, too? He's definately an enabler. <BR/><BR/>Now I better get to bed because this morning the brief walk was not very productive. Not much "lighting up" in the brain. Tomorrow is predicted to be the only nice day this week so I need to get out while I can.<BR/><BR/>By the way, all this psychology stuff is bringing back lots of memories from my college days in the 80's. Looking forward to reading about the money/happiness connection.The Numismatisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087097629745984272noreply@blogger.com
