I wish ...

Apparently the average Australian's wealth slumped by 12% in the last year. That's $25,000 according to this article.

Yikes! I didn't know I had $25,000 to lose. I don't think I do.

I get cross if I drop 10c actually.

Would you be cross enough to retrieve the 10c though? Crossness on my part is balanced out by residual laziness.

What if you dropped the 10c in a park full of alligators?

What if you dropped the 10c in a park full of alligators and nudists?

Would you be prepared to risk both death and embarassment for the sake of 10c?

Hmmm - I have been tightass enough to retrieve a 5c.

Though not a 5c covered in mould. Hygiene did come into play.

So that may errh - beg the question - in which bit of the nudist did the 10c fall?

Funnily enough I had a dream last night about a 10c piece.

I risked losing my job because of a 10c! That was how cross I get when I drop one!

In my dream I had been asked to wait for an important person in a my company in their office before they came in. I had a 10c piece on me when I walked in, along with some other things. I noted he had a whole lot of coins on his desk.

I waited for a while and then I decided to leave because it was getting too late. As I was getting up to leave all my papers went flying! I picked them all up and as I did he walked in. I thought about whether I should try picking up my 10c or not or whether he would think it was HIS 10c because he had coins lying around his office.

I decided I couldn't part with my 10c. I risked it. i grabbed my 10c which was lying on the floor.

Naturally he saw me and assumed I was a thief and of bad character and got mad.

All for 10c!

This a true account of Maria's 10c dream!


What would YOU do for 10c ...

That last line reminds me of a Golden Girls episode where Rose put in an ad on Dorothy's behalf in the paper (when Dorothy was desperately seeking work) saying she would do 'anything for $8 an hour'.

Unfortunately Rose put it in the personals section rather than the "Seeking employment" section.

Never grab anything in a dream before having it looked over by an experienced dream doctor first! It is probably just a metaphor for an unexamined trauma or something equally horrible!

Maria said...

A lot of mine aren't metaphors for traumas they tell my trauma straight out!

One of my friends for fun bought me some "dream cards" heheh. A bit of amusement.

I have done a bit of dream interpretation - my own dreams - just tried to figure out what they meant by how I feel and what they might mean to me.

A lot of mine are very obvious.

Like when my dog died I had dog dreams.

And recently I've had a few car dreams.

Oh by the way I am waiting for a Lotto dream. If I dreamed I was watching Lotto and all the numbers came to me and I emembered them all when I woke up ... yeah I would go out and by a ticket and fill those numebrs in.

No doubt I would find out they were all last week's numbers, too. I should have someone date-stamp and sign my dreams.
