OOO in that case, I balance all the time. Honestly, I rarely write checks anymore. Only for misc household bills (i.e., plumber etc)

[TracyK 3]

Laura-your sis has been with that girl a while now, huh?

Haydee-I did not get the pic :rolleyes2:

TracyinKS-that is alot of money!

[Suziecat 379]

Yup, I use my checks for household bills. Everything else I use my debit card. Still gotta keep track of the spending.

Hah hah ya'll are funny. I don't balance anything, I just make sure I always have X amount in the account.. and we're always way above that. Only time I write checks is for bills that I couldn't sign up for auto-deduction.. and I use my debit card when I go out.

I admit I have never balanced a check book! I do like Laura.. I get paid, I pay bills online and what I have left goes for grocery or gas....... nothing left to balance! :rolleyes2:

I'm sleepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know how much it costs for a 5 year old to go out for wrestling????????

$80 to sign up

$30+ for shoes

$30 for headgear

$12-$30 per tourney (if attending)

Geesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes!! My brother and I used to wrestle in the living room all the time and my parents never paid a dime!!!

I remember my grandfather trying to teach me to balance a check book. I did his when "we took over his finances" which was a huge undertaking (the days before online banking). I never had any money...so it was never an issue. Now I have a little bit and I do like Laura and Tracy, it comes in, I pay online, and what is left I live on. I get paid once a month. What is left over at the end of the month is "savings" and gets transfered lol! I remember my mom fretting about 'not balancing" the books when I was a kid. That is now a blast from the past as now we all pop on and check balances online.

I'm bidding on some wrestling shoes size 13 and 1 on ebay.. wish me luck!

They just don't carry those suckers ANYWHERE unless its a sporting goods store

HiYa girlies :rolleyes2:

DH is on nights so the house is very quiet. I just can't get used to it getting dark at 5:30 in the evening! UGH. It is 15 til 6 and I am yawning for Gods sake!

Thank you all for the tips on the Greenbean Casserole. I love that stuff. I could live on that and green rice.

Tonight is survivor night...all is well with the world.

I miss Kat.

All is not right with the world until American Idol is back on. I hope this year is as exciting as last year.

I actually heard my first Christmas song on the radio today. Yikes, too soon. Last year the started the day after halloween. I guess people must have complained about it.

Told my Boss today that I wasn't going to decorate till the week of Thanksgiving. I hate going into a store and the already have all of there stuff out (except Hobby Lobby).

Good evening, Violets..

Hope everyone has a good night. sleep well.

Good Morn, Vi's~~

I missed you all yesterday! But was busy w/work + it was PTA meeting day so I had lots to do to get ready for it, + take the phone calls from the folks who were supposed to do something since the last meeting who somehow just didn't quite get it done because they're so busy, blah dee blah... like I just sit around each day w/nothing to do hoping that someone calls to ask me if I can make 500 copies of something at the last minute?? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I was *not* a happy camper. So much so, actually, that I came home and downed 2 bottles of Mikes Light Hard Cranberry Lemonade (very good) to take the giant edge off!

Today is work, weekend is this & that... regular stuff... still struggling w/getting my eating under control... I run so hot & cold...

Will be working on the computer lots today, so will check in later. Smooches!

PS -- Pam, TracyKS's pic makes me smile, too... I SO remember that exact moment: "BAM!" "How did you know it's Pam?!" Good times...
