Unfortunately this is 100% true as I, ironically, have been tasked with looking for ways to spend nearly $10,000 that my work center has been allotted out of no where.

My old supervisor who works in one of the smallest offices was given the green light to spend $1,000 before last Oct 1. He went to the exchange and bought a 52 inch TV for his office claiming its for "Training"...

So, can you just buy whatever you want and do you get to keep it?

You would probably get kicked out.

These purchased are reported to the resource advisor. I have seen on many occasions people buying; blue ray players, surround sound systems, cameras and top of the line office supplies. Claiming they need it for "work", no one questions it because it's either spend it on whatever or lose it. Two or three months pass and that equipment transitions to the crib.

Happens everyday

"Spend it on whatever". So, how could a car get you kicked out if it's within the excess budget?

Yeah they'd like you to believe all the "fraud, waste and abuse" in defense budget spending was that simple.

Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be.

Think of a number. Double it. Add six. Half it. Take away the number you started with. The answer is 3.

My number was 4.....double is 8.....adding six is 14......half is 7.....take away 4 is 3!

My number was 1.....double is 2....adding six is 7.....half is 3.5....take away 1 is 2.5! Almost!

My number was 2.....double is 4....adding six is 10....half is 5....take away 2 is 3! Magic!

My number was 1.....double is 2....adding six is 7.....half is 3.5....take away 1 is 2.5! Almost!

Spend it on w/e as in anything as long as you can justify it's use for the job.

2013 was the first year since 1987 where all the numbers are different

I was about to say something but then I fully understood it cuz it's everything in between those years since a couple years before 1987 and a few years after 2013 will have all different numbers too.

Toy Story: Andy's mom is Jessie's original owner.
View media item 827018

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

First, though, I compiled the evidence. Take a look at the cowboy hat Andy frequently wears in the movies:

View media item 827000
Here’s another angle:

View media item 827003
As you can see, Andy’s hat is noticeably different from Woody’s. Why is this? Why wouldn’t Andy want to wear a hat that more closely resembles the one worn by his favorite toy?

It’s no secret that Andy has a close connection with Woody. In Toy Story 2, his mom (whom we only know as Ms. Davis) mentions that Woody is an old family toy.

Remember that Woody doesn’t recall that he’s a collector’s item, a toy made in the 1950s. This is different from the other toys, who know full well where they come from. It’s possible that Woody doesn’t know because he’s been in Andy’s family for a long time, possibly belonging to his father.

But we need more evidence. Take a close look at Jessie’s hat:

View media item 827005
Ah, this hat looks familiar. It’s the same red hat with a white lace that Andy wears. The only difference is that Jessie’s hat has a white lace around the center. But look at Andy’s hat again.

View media item 827008
There’s a faded mark where the white lace should be. Why do you think that is? And what does Jessie have to do with this?

Recall the story of Jessie. Her owner Emily grew up with her, much as Andy grew up with Woody. She was loved and cherished, but Emily eventually gave her away when she grew older. Jessie ended up in storage for a long time, as we learn when she has a panic attack about having to go back.

Now, take a close look at what’s on this bed in Emily’s room:

View media item 827011
That is a hat that looks extremely similar to—you guessed it—Andy’s. The room is also pretty old-fashioned, leaving room for this to take place years before Andy was born.

In fact, you can clearly tell that this bedroom is not contemporary, thanks to shots like these:

View media item 827013
The only difference between the hat that Emily wears throughout this sequence and Andy’s hat is an extra white lace around the center, which is visibly missing from Andy’s hat. Otherwise, the hats are identical.

Also, in the donation box that Emily puts Jessie in, we don’t see the hat. We do see other remnants of her connection with Jessie, but the hat is noticeably absent. The box isn’t even big enough to hold it. So Emily held onto that hat … and maybe passed it on to her child, who would also grow to love a cowboy doll.

We never get a closeup of Emily’s face, but we do see that she has light, auburn hair as a teenager. Also, it is very short. Compare that to:

View media item 827017
The middle picture is closest to the strawberry blonde color we see when Emily is young. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that her hair lightened as she aged, or she could have dyed it.

We don’t know the first name of Andy’s mom and we don’t know Emily’s last name. But we know that Andy’s and Emily’s hats are the same and that Emily is old enough to be Andy’s mom. We definitely know that Pixar is capable of sneaking something like this into a movie without being overt about it.

You may be wondering how the two characters could be the same if Emily was willing to give Jessie up so easily, while Andy was far more hesitant.

But the scenarios are actually quite similar. Andy forgot about Woody as he grew up too, despite their strong connection. Andy even gave Woody away, albeit in a different manner than Emily.

Would Andy’s mom get excited to see Jessie again? Perhaps, though we never get to see her reaction. And, of course, she would probably assume that it was a different version of the same toy. She would be pleased, one imagines, but she wouldn’t necessarily realize the utter serendipity of it.

What do you think? Do you believe that the two characters are the same and that Andy’s mom/Emily found redemption through the love her son had for the toy she left behind? Or, do you hate fun, love, and destiny?
