Not that anyone cares, but I just wrote the checks to pay my monthly bills and didn't date ANY of them 2022. Color me proud, haha.  By the way, I just got an important warning message. Never yell into a collander. It will strain your voice. |

Barb says writing checks to pay bills is so last century.

Yes, she is probably right, but I just still am not comfortable doing business online. Stores, banks and other businesses are constantly getting hacked and customer data compromised. Might be better for someone that is fairly busy, but I have all the time in the world to sit down in the early morning, once a month, write the checks and take them to the mail box.

I actually enjoy getting out and running errands. I often pay local bills in person using a debit card or check. It never hurts to socialize and to be known by name when you go into businesses. Going to my favorite little family run hardware store turns into a social call. I know the family and I bowled on the same team as one of the sons that works in the store. My bank is in the parking lot of a shopping center, where until recently a food trailer would set up on Thursdays to sell hot glazed donuts. I sometimes would buy a dozen donuts for the crew at the bank. There is only 3 or 4 of them and they all greet me by name when I walk in. I ran into the manager in the grocery store a couple of weeks ago and she was saying how they miss having the donut trailer's weekly visits. She said a couple of the young tellers had nicknamed me the "donut dude" and wondered on Thursdays if I would be doing any banking and if I would bring any donuts. LOL
When I am gone for an extended period Kathy will ask me when I get home who I ran into and who I was shooting the bull with.
