Yeah! I forgot to mention that she had to get out in the COLD. Thanks for aiding my rant!
This would so rarely come into play. It's just was up against a deadline. I expected my brother to mail a check to me for me to present to them, but he forgot or whatever, and said just for me to get a temp check. Everything else in the household is taken thru ACH/electronic banking. I can write most smaller checks like to Lori, mom's daycare program etc off my own account, and then get reimbursed. It's just that since this was a donation deal it had to be in mom's name. The rant is really not about having checks or not...it won't happen again like this...I was just mad about people who insist on by the book when it was so clearly not necessary. It will be good going forward.
It may have helped had I not driven up in my car with a window that is currently duck taped in the up position.
