The challenge was for the day shift to adhere a quarter on the cement floor near the time clock, and the night shift was challenged to remove it before day shift came back.

The fridge runs better and there is no more water on the floor due to a clogged drain line. It was a simple but pain in the ass job and now my left knee has swelled to the size of my thigh because I was crawling around on the floor. At least the fridge is working properly. o_O TDD |

From 1944 to 1946 they were made out of salvaged brass shell cases with some copper added. If you have any steel pennies made other than the ones out of the three ments stamped other than 1943 they are worth much money as they would have been made by mistake. I think a very few copper 1943 pennies escaped the mint and are worth a lot. I think there are only about 12 that are known. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
