It seems that paycheck dollars have a horribly bad habit of zooming right out the door no matter how much we try to coax them into multiplying. I need to find the TRIBBLE kind of paycheck dollars, that's what I need... Anywho, gotta go label my apple pie filling jars.

I have had that happen a few times before, and it really sucks.
