If money grew on trees how would you harvest and preserve it so that it didn't crumble like old leaves?

I'd can it in mason jars, like fresh picked green beans.

I wouldn't have to preserve it ! I'd blow it as fast as I could on da booze and broads and parties ! Why save it and preserve it when you can blow it like crazy ! Might as well have some fun.

With a money tree in the middle of your house you'd sure have plenty of visitors. You might have to get a Rottweiler to help Motormouth keep them from stealing the leaves.

Didge, maybe I would do it just Iike I used to handle leaves...you can make a wonderful flower press quite easily, and lovingly put things between the thick acid-free paper...even now, as the leaves are falling and so pretty, still I am tempted to do that again!

I'd just spend it while it was still flexible enough to put in my pocket and assume that it will continue to be an annual event like a fresh crop of pecans next year.

And if a catastrophe were to wipe out all trees next year, money would probably be the least of my problems.

I admire your enterprise and ingenuity but deplore your laziness. Deciduous grees? Puhleeze! You're going to wait for the leaves to fall and rake them p rather than climb a ladder to harvest them? I hope the ink runs on those cashier's cheques. >:-/

A clever "riposte"---had to stop laughing before I could respond.

While laziness might be a major factor, physical activity that is not well thought out is a major consideration.

My birthday is today on your side of the world---I'll have to wait about 9.5 hours or so to celebrate my existence on my side. While "gravity" has been my constant companion for what is about to be 71 years, I have not maintained my youthful vigor as well as it has---I do not bounce as well as I used to.

And therefore, gravity is more likely to unintentionally injure me simply by being itself.

So I have had to adapt. In additional to my normal height, I prefer to add no additional altitude beyond the thickness of the heel of my shoe.

(And of course I knew the "never in a million years" was true.)

OK, you've redeemed yourself. Ladders and geezers don't go well together. If I make it to my next birthday I'm going to be downright doddering.
Happy birthday for tomorrow, Tom. Enjoy.

I would not preserve it ! I would buy what I want but I would give the money to someone else cause I don't want to get obsessed with it .

Spoken like a true philanthropist, Megan. If you have any to spare would you email me a few shekels as one of your beneficiaries?
