...

The old lady handed her bank card to a bank teller and said, “I would like to withdraw $500".
The teller told her, “For withdrawals less than $2,000, please use the ATM.”
...
... they spent a lifetime learning the skills.
Not all the Math skills though! ... The problem is solvable with even just $2,000 withdrawal and $1,500 deposit back ...
[besides of course the "scaring the bank" point she probably wanted to make ...]

nothing wrong with the math :smile:
but $2k doesn't make the teller work much harder counting out all that cash ... twice over
So you have to give her lots of credit.
The teller was making life awkward for her, she made it much worse for them :wink:

Too bad she couldn't take the $5million then! ...
[and of course banks get scared for other obvious reason with large WD amounts ...]

A student went to his meditation teacher and said, "My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I'm constantly falling asleep. It's just horrible!"

"It will pass," the teacher said matter-of-factly.

A week later, the student came back to his teacher. "My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive! It's just wonderful!'

"It will pass," the teacher replied matter-of-factly.

Unfortunately, this is not accurate. Florida is considered a very habitable zone; there is a high number of Snowbirds there.

I don't see the funny on this map. :confused::wink:

@DrClaude is right though, a slight inaccuracy on the map. The death zone is actually in the Alabama / Mississippi / Louisiana / Northwest Florida area. CRAZY HUMIDITY! The ocean actually cools the east coast enough to make it bearable and the west coast is cooled a lot by the Pacific ocean, so it's a great place to be.

As for the snowbirds, watch the first few minutes of this documentary and you will have to watch it till the end! They are so cute and funny! See them learning to speak english at the 13th-14th minute! These people are from my parent's generation and you will fall in love with them!
