Speaking of which, knowing Ma Bell is a good sign that you are old enough to know why it is rude to be on my lawn.....

Checks are still viable for some situations. Now, if you are STILL using them in the line at checkout at your grocery store you are officially too old.

You don’t have to be young to be cool. Besides, think of all the great advice and life lessons you got from us old people, grasshopper. Try getting that frum Subaru.

Still not much protection. We have 2 checking accounts: The "big" account and the "small" account. Small account gets a couple hundred bucks a week transferred in automatically and it's what we use for around town debit card transactions: Dinner out, Home Depot, etc. We draw it down to close to zero and then it fills back up again. hence our need to balance that account's checkbook closely. it also means if someone snags our debit card and empties the account we are out a few hundo. Not the ned of the world.

You know you're old when you look around and realize that you are now part of "Those blithering idiots" you've been railing about at work all these years. I'll hit 40 years of service next year. I guess you could also say that you're old if you had one job your whole career. Not many of us left nowadays that haven't been let go, downsized, rightsized, or sold out.
I still have a checkbook and may write one a month or so. The bank won me over when they offered Bill Pay for free about ten years ago. That saved me $10 a month in stamps. You give up the float, but it was worth it. Now everything goes through credit cards to earn points. I have my son to thank for that. |

He use to scare us as little kids with his glass fake eye. When my mom was 17, they moved to what was supposedly be a better place....Chicago. They lasted 2 years there before moving to SC. Her brother (My Uncle) was old enough to stay in Brooklyn when they moved, so he didn't go. Got mixed in with the wrong crowd and was shot in the head about 5 years later.

My brother and I snuck into a Led Zeppelin concert at some coliseum in LA, got caught and kicked out, snuck in again, smoked something wrapped in a funny-looking paper, got caught again and this time the police took us home, which earned me a right good a$$ whipping.
All I remember about the music is it was loud and weird, and it seemed like all the people there needed a shower. Stinky hippies.

I am a direct result of the change in business over the years. Growing up, my father worked for the same company from the time he was 18 until the company packed up and moved to Mexico. The next position he took, he stayed with until he passed. Many of other family members and friends/acquaintances were the same way. Almost every company that I have worked for, I stayed with until they closed the doors. Extremely frustrating to be a good employee and being forced change careers, as many times as I have, in order to stay employed. In the past, considering whether or not the company you are applying with, will remain in business for as long as you want to be employed wasn't a concern like it is today. Seems everything is disposable nowadays. Welcome to the forums!
