What still bemuses me is that I can buy $50-$60 woth of gas at the pump, but if I go inside, they make me sign for it.
I also noticed the other week that I have a large number of checks with my current driver's license number on them. When I renew in October, the state DL numbering system has changed, so they will be outdated.
So I decided to start using more checks. Oh. My. Dog. I am glad I went to using the check card for most things. Wal*Mart was the worst, processing my check at the till having me sign a slip that I paid electronically by check, and physically checking my ID matches the check.
With the checkcard, it goes through like a visa, I don't have to sign (electronically) if under $25 and they seldom ask for ID any more.
No wonder 95% of all my banking/purchasing is done electronically.
Oh!
Someday they'll find it, the Rainbow Conspiracy...
After my last move it took about a year to use up my old checks. Aside from rent and some of my utilities, I just don't write them any more.
I use checks for the electric and gas bills and D's daycare, and that's it. My checks still have my address from 2 apartments ago on them because I use them up so slowly.
oh my ... caption anyone?
I know nobody cares about this, but I don't have anybody to ask -- can I go with Cohen's "Anthem" as a theme song, or is it too pretentious and I should go with Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" instead?
I know neither of those songs, Emily. I had thought about your question, but I didn't think you wanted your theme song to be country :).
Well, if we assume no one will know either of the songs, I guess the question is: do I want to submit the lyrics "Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack, a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in" or "I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb/But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so/I can't stop changing all the time"?
What country song, by the way? I tell you, everybody I eat lunch with was thinking country. The other question is about most memorable concert, and they were all mentioning Garth Brooks and Martina McBride. Me, it's all "Far-left probably lesbian bands you've never heard of." And synth-pop.
