Nancy,

NB>So just hope that you don't get caught out in the rain... 

  I did, today. I didn't think the mail had run, so I went out to check
the Post Office Box, and drop the postcard off in the mail. It poured on
the way home.

NB>Often clerks have a little stash of pennies (and sometimes larger coins)
NB>that can be tossed into the till to make up a little shortfall... I've
NB>had that happen at the grocery store, where I needed a penny to make the
NB>change come out even, that the clerk would offer a penny or two...

  I saw him today, and told him I could give him the 2 cents, and he
said "don't worry about it". That gives a whole new meaning of "putting
ones 2 cents into the conversation". 

NB>Yup, then you probably have at most only one more disability review to
NB>deal with... 

  I hope so.

NB>The only case where that's remotely the case, would be the grand jury
NB>duty where the term is for months on end, I think 6 months at a time...
NB>one can be excused from that when one is a sole proprietor with no
NB>employees to carry on the business in one's absence... Most employers
NB>pay their employees their regular pay when on jury duty, especially the
NB>salaried ones... And often one only actually has to serve for a day or
NB>two... 

  Since I worked at a family business, I didn't get that. I basically
forfeited a days pay. At least I only had to serve 1 day a week, and a
total of 8 times in 6 months. So, when the "juror phone" opened at
7:30am on Tuesday, I was "on the horn" to find out if there was a trial.
If there was, I told the boss "I'll be gone for part or all of the day".

NB>... If a cow laughs real hard, does milk come out its nose?

  Just another study for our tax dollars.
