Filed Under Business Cards, Where's George
I have been asked about business cards and Where’s George.
BUSINESS CARDS
I still do collect business cards. I just have had a lot go on and haven’t got to keep up with it. I do hope that I will get back to counting the new business cards I have received over the last year I believe or so. So be patient with me and you will soon start to see my total of business cards start to increase on my blog. I keep my total there on the side bar of this blog. So please keep the business cards coming into me. If you include an E-mail address with the cards I personal send you an E-mail saying thank you for the business cards you have given me. I appreciated any and all business cards that you send!
WHERE’S GEORGE
I have gotten behind in doing Where’s George too over the last year. Lack of internet access is one reason why. Plus, lack of carrying cash. For those who are reading this blog entry and asking, What is Where’s George? Where’s George is a Web site where you can track your US Currency. (www.wheresgeorge.com). I do hope to be able to start to EMS again. EMS if you don’t know what that means is Enter, Mark and Spend! So if you see a bill marked for Where’s George, enter it! You never know, it could be one of my bills. But, if not, you will be making the day of some happy Georger (a person that uses Where’s George). I also hope to be able to start going back to some of the Where’s George gatherings. I am sorry I missed this past Knoxville gathering.

I just got a hit on a bill I entered into Where’s George in 2005.
My Where’s George Hit
This bill has traveled 479 Miles in 3 Yrs, 299 Days, 10 Hrs, 36 Mins at an average of 0.34 Miles per day.
It is now 448 Miles from its starting location.
I entered it in Knoxville, TN and then it went to Sevierville, TN.
It is now in Ferndale, MI. (Which took 3 years since Sevierville.
I want more hits and I want them now.

I got another Where’s George hit the other day. This hit was just over a 2 year sleeper.
What is a sleeper you might ask? A Sleeper is a Where’s George hit that takes a long period of time before it is entered back into Where’s George.
I entered this bill in Knoxville, TN and it is now in Columbus, MS.
This bill has travelled 307 Miles in 2 Yrs, 102 Days, 2 Hrs, 35 Mins at an average of 0.37 Miles per day.
It is now 307 Miles from its starting location.
Whining does wonders! I want more hits and I want them now!
*fingers crossed*
Wish me luck!
