Just ordered Two Boxes of Checks

[lsanderson]

At the rate I'm going through them, the lifespan of two boxes of checks may be greater than the estimated lifespan of the universe. Just saying is all.

Yep. I have ordered once since moving here 10 years ago, and I have a couple of books left. I couldn't bring myself to order another box with my new name, since the old ones work just fine, but I suppose I'll need to now.

That would explain why, after 2000, they didn't print the century on checks any more. (I understand why they stopped printing dates as __________19___ in the late 1990's, but not printing ________20___ starting in 2000 doesn't make sense.)

I may have more than two boxes left from the last order still.

I need them occasionally at Costco, and sometimes for convention registrations or to settle accounts with friends (Paypal takes a percentage, if you're set up to accept credit cards as most of us are).

Hennepin Lake Liquors and Bill's Imported Foods suck up most of mine.

I realized when I wrote my most recent one, that the previous one had been written almost a year before.

I'm not sure where the box is, but at the rate I'm going, what's left in the current checkbook will last me there rest of the decade.

I'm down to one a month - the yard man doesn't take Visa.

Checks?

Hmmm. I write them regularly to other collectors. To pay a small monthly rent. To pay a professional service fee. To pay the worker bees who do stuff around the house for us. For graduation presents, and sometimes other gifts.
