I'll Take a "Hundy"

I am not sure why I sometimes call a hundred dollar bill a "hundy," but I do. Of course, hundred dollar bills have other names people call them. Benjis and Benjamins are a couple that come to mind.
I have to make a trip to Walmart today, and there are a couple of "higher ticket" items I need to replenish, and I have some 100s in my Tuesday Challenge envelope which I will "buy back," and I will take one of them with me.
By the way, as of today I have $1,422 in my envelope. How much is in yours?
It's "spend the day with mom" day today as well, and sometimes on Tuesdays I take her to the bowling alley to drop a few bucks in the slot machines there. I haven't decided yet if we'll do that today. I guess I could run it by her and see if she wants to, but her answer is usually yes, so it might be a moot question.
Nice, though, we are supposed to warm up a bit into the 70s today as well. I'd like to get the windows open which have been closed for a few days since it's been rather chilly.
What are your plans for the day?

Have fun dropping those Hundy's at Walmart! I was just thinking, I haven't been in a Walmart since before the pandemic. And I have no desire to ever go there again. lol

@porwest Having worked there as a manager for 8 years, I owned tons of stock in Walmart. Sold it years ago when I got married and bought a house. I hate shopping at Walmart these days because of all the riff-raff there, but I would say that if I still owned any of their stock I would suck it up and force myself to shop there.

@moffittjc I wonder what all that stock would be worth today considering it's over $100 a share these days post-split. Have you ever done the math? If you did, that might make for a really interesting post.

Enjoy your day with mom 
Rainy day here today so not much going on. Just the usual things to do around the house and trying to catch up here a bit.

I’ve always wondered why we call $100s Benjamins and $20s Jacksons. Benjamin is a first name and Jackson is a last name.

@porwest I was just wondering why one is first name and the other last name.

@lovebuglena Like I said, it probably just rolls off the tongue better. Which sounds better, "Hand me that Andrew," or "Hand me that Jackson?" lol

My plans today weather permitting will be taking surveys since the weather report is rain expected this evening.
