When an option is not an option

I stopped into my local Wawa this morning to pick up some cash and some milk. Wawa offers free-of-charge ATM withdrawals, which pleases me greatly. However, the ATM, managed by PNC Bank, needs some edits to its software.
Please study the image below.
You will note that a withdrawal of $10, $30, or $50 are all listed as possible options for obtaining cash.
When I asked for $50 earlier this morning, I ran into the following notice.
Wait! What? Withdrawals have to be in multiples of $20? Then why even give me the other options? Arggghhh …
Your daily dose of cheese

Upon receiving a book that I ordered through the post the other day, I was surprised to find a small collection of business cards with cheesy little saying written on them. I thought I would share them with the world, so we can all enjoy this cheesefest.
TREAT EACH DAY AS YOUR LAST … Someday you’ll be right!
THE FOUR RULES FOR SUCCESS …
#1– Show up.
#2– Pay attention.
#3– Ask questions.
#4– Repeat the above!
THIS ONLY LOOKS LIKE A DESK … It’s actually a large trash can with drawers and four legs!
IT’S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT … But more important to be nice!
WISDOM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS:
(1) having a great deal to say;
(2) not saying it.
A GOOD EXERCISE FOR THE HEART … Is to bend down and help another up!
And my personal favorite of the lot …
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE … Aren’t really things at all.
Now, go into the world and be inspired!
The sickish yellow of decaying food

For the record, I brush my teeth. I floss too. Regularly. I am told by dentistry professionals that I have nice chompers. No cavities. (I thought I should start this post with this declaration.)
When I floss my teeth, I notice that the little bits of food that get pulled out from their hiding places by the dental floss are always a sallow, gross yellow. Whether I had burgers, chicken, pasta, or soup, the stuck bits of food are always a similarly disgusting hue of yellow.
Why is that? It’s pretty gross.
Over-stuffed, but under-filled

Wrapping up my time abroad, I faced a problem that so many travelers do. So much more to bring home than I brought there.
I like to travel light, so I only had one big bag and one small bag. It took hours of arranging, squeezing and cajoling to pack everything into these two bags. I even had to ask my friend to lend me a hand to close the zipper.
And at the end of it all, what do I discover?
I’d left one of the outside pockets completely empty! Oh the joys of packing. Wah-wah-wah.
