FRANKLIN COUNTY, Fla. (WCTV) -- The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is warning local residents to be on the lookout for counterfeit $100 bills.

Deputies say the fake bills have been found being passed in both Apalachicola and Eastpoint.

The bills have Chinese writing on the back and were seized over the weekend.

FCSO is reminding residents to be extra cautious when accepting $100 bills and to call the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office if you believe you've been presented with counterfeit bills.

IHG is crazy - Holiday Inn Express and other related properties

Went down the early part of this week to help my sister sort stuff out at Mom's house and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Their beds are 30" high at the mattress. It is very hard for me to get up onto the bed, especially if my back is acting up.

I complained at the desk and was told this is IHG's new standard bed height. The mattress and box spring is on a 10.5" base. They went out of their way to make the beds the height of a normal table. Are their room designers all basketball players?

Now I am short with legs short for my height but even my 6'1" husband found the beds uncomfortably tall. I'm calling their customer service to let them know that I will NOT be staying at an IHG property until their beds return to a sane height that is not a major challenge to clamber up onto.

Has anyone else run into beds at hotels that are an unreasonable height?

Need free stock tracking site or software

I use Quicken for my personal financial info but their watch list feature is screwed up.

My parents' estates are being settled over the next couple of years and I just got the first statement of what is held. I want to be able to put the various investments into something to track, sort by asset class, and simply to help me do some research on what is in their estates. I do not want to enter the investments and actual amounts in Quicken since I will only be getting a share.

Any suggestions - hopefully for something free?
