So we're in Wal Mart doing some shopping and Silverwolf is sitting on a bench by the registers and I'm in a wheelchair doing the shopping.
Wheelchair front wheels get stuck and won't turn and as I lean over to unstick them my money falls out of my shirt pocket. I know I should have put it in my wallet but I didn't.
There were people around in front of me and behind as well and when I picked up the bills all I grabbed was the ones - I didn't see the other one, not a big one (and I'm not asking for a donation - just tellin' a story ) but not something I can afford to just lose right now.
Of course when I get to the check stand I only have the ones so I have to return some of the things I was buying. Embarrassing to say the least.
Now I know people saw me struggling to pick up the bills from the floor and it would have been hard not to see that I didn't get one of them. Why not say something . I would have chased someone down just to return a one much less the larger bill I dropped.
I guess they figured finders keepers, loser weepers.
On the other hand I have an appointment with the VA Compensation and Pensions department the 27th to discuss my claim for disability. Hoping all goes well and that I get approved for something!

Carly is right.
I believe very strongly in karma.
I wouldn't want to be them.

Stealing makes me so mad!! I can't imagine keeping somebody's hard earned money.
