Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Peace through this transition, scrappy.

What makes a cheque a cheque? What's the minimum amount of information required to make the piece of paper redeemable for money at a financial institution?

I just slammed up against huge passive aggression in the meeting from hell. Luckily it's only 2 or 3 times per week, but I guess that's why it ran two hours today. I am so not supposed to be the motivated one. That's when you know the ship is drifting.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I had execrably bad handwriting in prep school, and we were tested on it. I then went on to take up calligraphy and had a number of different handwritings, but that's fallen by the wayside.

I chose this route too. I've settled on a handwriting style with some Arabic influences and I've redesigned a couple of letters I had real trouble with. On a good day I think it's really quite stylish. On a bad day, apparently I've perfected my mind control techniques over ant colonies. No. Wait. Apparently I am under the thrall of the mind-controlling ant parasites. On a bad day.

Meanwhile, the calligraphy background has been pretty helpful in learning Chinese characters. So that's nice.

Yeah, I'd spend a lot of time on my weak link letters too, and fashioning alternative forms.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What makes a cheque a cheque? What's the minimum amount of information required to make the piece of paper redeemable for money at a financial institution?

Dunno. But when I took typing in Jr. High, my teacher told us that a check could be as simple as a piece of bark with some writing on it. According to him, a check just needs to tell your bank to give money from your account to the person named on the check. So even a scrap of paper with this minimal info on it would constitute a check.

Of course, with all that fancy computer routing stuff they got these days, I doubt a piece of bark would work.

Fridge was moved. OMGGROSS!

Floors triple mopped.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Scrappy, I am thinking of you and your family and wishing you peace, as ita said. You are such kind and comforting person here at Buffistas and I hope we can be of some comfort now, to you.

Scrappy... I'm so, so, sorry. What a tragedy. I hope she is at peace, and I hope you and your family can come to peace with this. Much love to you and yours.
