Who uses checks anymore besides my dad?

We switched our checking account to Charles Schwab. First because they don't have a Bank of America ANYWHERE in the entire state of Colorado, and second, because of that fact, we changed over to WaMu when we moved here and they're horrible, so now we're moving on to Chuck Schwabb. We like Chuck and he seems to like us too.

Recap: B of A does not have offices in CO so we switched to WaMu-which sucked, so now we're moving on to Schwabb.

Okay? Okay.

So, once again, I had to change my direct deposit here at work. I have my account number ready (that Scott supplied me with.) I filled out the new form. Then Lucy askes, are you sure it's 12 digits, most of them are only 10. I said, I'm pretty sure, because that's the number that Scott gave me. I told her I'd call Scott. She replied "Scott doesn't let you carry a check book?"

I just said, well I don't carry a check book because WHO writes checks frequently enough that it requires them to carry around their check book? Inside I felt my inner feminist (which obviously comes from my mother) come out. Why did this irk me? I was bred for this to irk me, that's why. So now, I'm thinking of carrying around my OWN personal check book because I'm a woman and my husband "lets" me.

I just may burn my bras while I'm at it too. Wait... no, that would be bad, because no one likes "free range" boobs, as Scott like to call em'.

I don't carry my checkbook around. In fact, I only use it to pay my rent. And random tupperware parties.

I think that lady needs to toss her gloves and move into the plastic 21st century.

Kuh kuh kuh kuh katy has been really funny with her posts lately.

I don't carry my checks around with me. It bothered you because it was a statement that implied that you have to have permission to make financial decisions that involve writing checks. ..but unbeknownst to Lucy, we live int he 21st century and Mrs. doesn't need checks anymore... it's called online banking. Now go ask Scott for the password to your online checking account. jk. :)

Funny thing is, is that I don't keep up with our online banking, really ever. I just hate it, so I let Scott take care of it. After all he IS the man. I just bake the bread and make him his scotch on the rocks when he gets home from a hard day's work
