I do remember the bracelets. In fact, I thought they still made them? I have not worn one.

This is really funny, but I swear to y'all, at this moment there is $8,075,000 in my wallet. My daughter gave it to me the other day. It came from our Life game. LOL!!
Unfortunately, there is no REAL paper money in there.
Extra Bonus Question:
Last time you got lost while driving ?
I do this on a regular basis. I do not have a good internal guidance system. The last time, hmmm.....
Oh, it was when I was driving to a new office on the other side of Tampa and right after I took my exit the GPS system decided to lose the signal! I hadn't written directions down (I usually do) that time of all times and had to drive around aimlessly until I spotted the right street.
Where is the strangest place you have even gotten "misplaced" while driving ?
Well, not so much strange, but scary. I got lost in the middle of the night the first time I drove to Children's Hospital in Detroit. If anyone is familiar with downtown Detroit, you know you don't want to drive around aimlessly all alone in the middle of the night! This was before cell phones and I didn't dare stop anywhere. I tried to flag down a cop, but he ignored me. There were a few scary experiences that followed- gang members blocking the streets- yikes!
I eventually found the hospital.
Just for Fun:
Have you ever heard of or played any of the following games
Probe Huh?
Triominos Yep, used to play it at our family Thanksgiving get togethers growing up.
Black Box Nope
Croquet Have people NOT heard of Croquet?

Weirdest Mashed food you have ever seen or tried ? Maybe tasting one of the kid's baby foods. Pureed beef. Yuck!
Well, I got caught out in the rain so it took me forever to get back home on the bike today. I guess I lost my spot up top to answer questions.
Today's Question(s):
In honor of POW-MIA Recognition Day
How many of our ? family remember POW bracelets ? Yep, I had two or three back then.
Did any of you wear one ? One at a time. I think I lost one and then I gave one to a friend who didn't have one.
Extra Credit Question:
Did you ever think of electronics or appliances as male & female ? They must be female. You have them around the house to help make life easier. But they cost alot, you have to take care of them and keep them looking good, they break down at the worst times, and some you just can't figure out (even if they have a manual)!!!
Bonus Question:
In honor of "Paper Money Day"
How many different denominations of "paper money" are in your wallet right now ? Sad to say, but one! It's a five. Started out with a $20 today, but I got my haircut and now i have $5. I'm sure DD will come by and sweet talk me out of that too!
Extra Bonus Question:
Last time you got lost while driving ? I don't get lost. I map things out before I leave and have a familiarity of where I am going and some contingencies as well.
Where is the strangest place you have even gotten "misplaced" while driving ? I think I might have mentioned this before, but when I was 17 or so, my buddy and I were out in his Toyota Landcruiser tackling some woods and sand pits near our town in NJ. After an hour or so of twisties and turns all around the area, we stumbled across a stretch of asphalt, like a road, out in a big clearing. So we drove around some more checking out the area and finally we decided to take this "road" and see where it goes. Well, it only took a minute or so of commenting how wide the road was, and the funny paint patterns on the road, until we realized what it was. We were on the runway of the local county airport! Well, needless to say we got out of there and went back into the woods ASAP! To this day, we still laugh about that episode when we get together.

Where is the strangest place you have even gotten "misplaced" while driving ? Gee, let me count the times..... There are literally too many from which to choose.... I ended up on an Indian reservation one time in CO.....do NOT ask me how I got there and do not ask me to find it again, but I eventually found my destination...I was on my way to Aspen or Estes Park, (or maybe Golden to tour the Coors factory), I dunno...
