    I love finding stuff in the garbage and near dumpsters. I can feel like a good doobie for helping keep things out of landfills, I can enjoy breaking things down, and I can make cash doing it. I also try to repurpose everything I can get my hands on, if possible.

    Finding actual money is a great thing too! Once I found two hundred dollar bills in a parking lot. And I find change all the time. I'm never too proud to pick up a penny.

    You had a good day!

    Well then, I am an EXCELLENT doobie.

    Honestly, it's just a slang term for good person in some circles.

    DWJ is the best doobie, though, for returning the $300. I didn't even think of doing that with my $200. It was a Walmart parking lot, if that matters, way out on the end.
