The Change Jar Update

Coinstar, Wicker Park, Chicago Nancy came down on Saturday morning. We spent most of the day on Michigan Avenue shopping (I got my first birthday gift! and a few other things I needed) but before we went downtown I…

You should get it today, especially if you got it shipped to your office. Of course, if it’s like my office, it’ll take as long for it to get from the receiving department one floor down as it did to get to Chicago from Alaska.

Woo! Congratulations!

Donate Ruby to charity. The pluses are you helping someone in need and you get a tax deduction. =) http://www.recycles.org/forms/donate.htm

Oh, I guess I misinterpreted your comment about how the bottom change doesn’t have quarters b/c it’s from NY as meaning that the whole bottom came with you from NY. I’m a little slow today. It’s the Hawai`i equivalent of Friday b/c we have a state holiday (Admissions Day) tomorrow, so that’s my excuse. ;o)

Definitely get the AppleCare Protection Plan eventually, since iBooks seem to have more problems than desktop Macs. I think you only get 3 months of phone support, otherwise. Something like that, anyway.

Congratulations on your new purchase!

BTW, they have Oberweis in NY, too?

first of all – congrats on the upgrade (sorry Ruby!). New toys are always exciting . Second – funny you should mention the whole change jar thing. I’ve been filling up a giant, oversized, plastic coke bottle with every single piece of change that comes into my possesion. I’ve been saving for the past year with hopes that it will put a huge dent in the price of a new HDTV set.

Great minds think alike.

And I’ll guess $172.45 for your change jar. Probably on the high side but I’m being optimistic for you.

Will you let us know how much is in the jar when you “do” bring it in? Since I’m coming down this weekend, we can bring it somewhere if you’d rather not “walk” it somewhere. Not sure what’s open on a Saturday afternoon. We bring our coins to a machine, well Josh does, so I’m guessing it’s like Coinstar that you’re talking about ‘cuz they keep some of it. But who the hell gets to a bank these days? Too bad we couldn’t exchange our coins online somehow? Have someone come pick them up at your front door, etc.
