So we moved here and joined a large banking system.
We got debit cards... he lived through that.
We started paying bills on-line...he lived through that.
Today would have sent him over the edge. I took off to town to deposit a check. Simple right? Well, not exactly. When I got to the drive-up window (where he will still ONLY use the one where you put the money/check/whatever into the drawer that is attached to building and not the automatic tube system) all the lights were red. Hm...all the drive-ups closed? I drove around to the front of the building and found three women sitting at a table. I got out and they said that the bank was temporarily closed but that they could take deposits. um....not sure why, but I didn't feel quite comfortable giving them a check and deposit ticket outside the front of the bank...call me old-fashioned...
So I learned how to use the new ATM... it now will take deposits. It actually scans the check, deposits it into your account and your receipt will show a small little copy of the check you deposited. Very Cool!!
Then I called hubby to tell him. Oh my... first he decided that the bank was being audited. Maybe.. I told him what I did and he was really ok with it... (of course I had to immediately come home and check on-line and make sure the deposit was there)
Then I was talking to DD#1 and she freaked... WHAT!! Are you kidding me? I use the same bank and I don't have any cash! Have they closed the bank? Have they frozen our assets?
Oh, she is her daddy's daughter....

Makes me wonder if they were shut down from a robbery attempt?
Can't wait to see the new quilt.
That is too funny! I'm with you about not handing a deposit over to three women sitting at a table, though. Sounds a little funny - I would have reacted the same way you did!
I haven't gone into a bank to do business in a long time. I have direct deposit and pay all our bills on-line. We write only one check a month - to our condo association.
I agree on not giving the check to the women. I wouldn't have given it to them.
Your DD's reaction is too funny.
Huh???? Hummm, guess I'll wander into town today and see if "my" bank is still there. LOL!

Prayers for A today - for sure!
I had to giggle - thinking about conversations we have had about ATM deposits ;)
I normally only write 1 check a month and that's only because my Condo Assoc doesn't have on-line capability. Sometimes a doctor copay or medical bill - but they do give you the option of paying via debit card.
Welcome to the real world Mr. R ! ! ! !
Good luck with the truck and the tooth (ouch!)

hahaha! that is too funny! Did you roll your eyes? LOL!
