and getting nothing for it.... just had some electrical work done at home, quote $800, offered cash..payed
$550.... suits me....have a good day everyone...

My Credit Union asked if I wanted to continue to use cheques. They would allow me to if I wanted but I decided it was not in my best interests as so many people do not use them anymore and it might be difficulty to pay for anything with a cheque.
