Ginger, that's *very* close! I think I'm going to try a few gardening/gift stores in the neighborhood before I order anything online though.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Banks don't always pay attention to who the check is for either.As in write the check to the wrong store -- and they still accept it

Yes, I once wrote a check for Barnes and Noble at Borders. It was my last check, and they took it.

Banks no long pay any attention to dates or, for that matter, signatures.
Someonw -- and I want to say it was Madeleine L'Engle -- wrote an essay once about how she signed her checks with any name BUT hers and waited to see how long it took for the bank to return one. I can't remember, but I think it never did.
Sorry about the computer issues, but yay for Fridays off for Teppy. Their loss, our gain!
Yeah, but -- this computer is a pain to use. Plus, I wanted to watch the Dr. Whosit singalong thingie (the Joss thing), but I seriously don't think this computer will play video and survive. And I don't think I'll get the laptop repaired and back in time before the first episode (installment? act?) of Dr. Whatchamajig is taken down. (Because I'm not so deluded as to think I can waltz in with a hardware problem and they'll just drop everything and fix it right then and there.) Bah. Technology.

I once accidentally sent my rent check in the same envelope as my electric bill and ConEd deposited both. I was *so* confused when our landlord called us to say we hadn't paid our rent, since the check HAD been cashed, to HIS bank! Luckily Chase was able to transfer the funds back to him - it was a lucky break that he and ConEd used the same bank.

Teppy, was it this you were thinking of with the signature thing?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
When I worked in retail people always commented that our store was the only one to check signatures on credit cards, and people were shocked when I wouldn't accept a credit card that was not in their name.

Things you don't want to hear from an oncologist: The tumor was so bizarre we sent it up to Sloane-Kettering for analysis.
I'm sorry Aim's ex-boss is being an ass-hat. If you can't read a date on a check I'm thinking maybe you shouldn't be running a business.
