Good morning to all!

When did you last write a paper check?
Had to look in my checkbook. I've written 3 paper checks since 10/2019.

When did you last receive a paper check?
My wife gets paid with a paper check. She put in for direct deposit a long time ago. Still hasn't happened and the company seems not to be bothered with it.

Every check we get gets deposited this way.

Approximately when did you last order new checks, how many did you get, and how long do you expect them to last before you need to get more?
We ordered new checks about six years ago. I still have three or four boxes left. At this point, this would be a lifetime supply.

Do you remember when it was common for people to have their social security number printed on their checks along with their address and phone number?
Absolutely. They also used to say to engrave your SSN into valuables. I just scratched my SSN off the side of an 8' step ladder frame after forgetting it was there all these years.

3rd party company.

1) The overmodulated sounds and thumping sounds of people blaring "music" in public places. 2) People with little 4 cylinder cars and motorcyclicts that think it's cool to make as much noise as possible while driving. 3) Kids

The crack of thunder when it's nearby.

Yes and it's pretty neat (and unpredictable).

Does your home make any sounds, such as gurgling pipes, creaky floors, bubbling water heater, etc.?
Settling cracks and pops, hot water heater gurgling, etc.

When and where did you last hear an infant cry?
It's been a long time. Maybe Covid lockdowns assisted with that.

Hope everyone has a terrific day!
