Sounds like a plan Sunny. Good luck !

Good luck Bestofour. I am thinking of opening an account at another bank...just to be safe. That way if one goes digital such as yours, I'll already have a start. We lost our local bank years ago, then lost our ABM machine. I have to travel almost an hour to go to my bank, then our ABM machine is only open different hours on different days in the lobby.

So you found another brick and mortar bank ?
If so good for you !!

I did it today and it's taken me hours to change everything over and I still don't have it all done. I have a few things, thankfully just a few, that are drafted so I have to change that information and my dental insurance site won't let me so I'm gonna have to call them tomorrow. What a mess.

Not to mention did you know that if say I write a check to one of my grandchildren, their parents cannot use the Internet to cash it ? The person whose name is on the check has to have a bank account at said bank to deposit/cash a check.
I have no idea what is going to happen. So now I have to write one check to a parent and tell them who it is for. ( My DD does not want me to send cash thru the mail)

I have no idea what will happen. I guess our money will all be direct deposit and we best have a debit card.

...and what about the elderly (or people like me) that do not have a 'smart phone', how will a person cash a cheque?? What a mess this world is heading for.

I was wondering that as well. Plus there are several other things one needs to go INTO a bank to do. And also what about Safety deposit boxes ?
I guess it is time to find a new "busy" bank, huh, Sheri ,?
I will say that a company bought our long time bank at home and there is like 1 teller in it, and you have to make an appointment to do anything of substance. My bank used to be full of busy workers and customers. Ya gotta wonder.

Yes. My bank is going to all online banking which means if I need or want cash I'm going to have to go to an ATM which will probably charge me between $3.00 and $5.00. I rarely go into my bank but sometimes I go to the ATM and take out cash and I don't have any loans but how does that work - if a person needs a mortgage how is it done?

I assumed she was speaking of online banking.

All digital? How does that work??

Oh good Lord..I hate to hear that. I actually walk into my bank fairly often. I would hate for it to go all digital.

Lucky me, I do not have a hair appt. until The middle of February. Be safe, Sheri.

And oh, our roads were good we finally were able to drive to church Sunday.

Still inside other than feeding the birds. Didn't even go to church Sunday. Tomorrow I have an appointment to get a haircut so I'll have to go out. I've got to get my hair trimmed!!

My bank is going all digital so I'm changing banks. It's going to be a headache.

Well S. Missouri is getting a few nice for winter days, then supposedly another round of extra cold is on it's way thru.

Good morning, I am hoping that you are all getting better weather this week.

The ice here has melted but it's cold. I went out early this morning to fill bird feeders and the ground, which is usually soft with a bit of give under my feet, was hard and unforgiving - not icy but frozen, which felt weird. I imagine you guys deal with this all the time. Other than that, I've been inside for 3 days. I'm ok with that

Sorry Mother Nature thought to share our weather. Stay safe & stay warm, Sunny.

"They" say our temps will get above freezing this afternoon. Time will tell.

Your ice has hit us, the roads are a skating rink this morning. This has been the weirdest Winter....I am so glad that I do not have to travel. So many people have been late or missing work this year, it is crazy.

The sun is out, the wind is slight and I am thankful that the apron to our garage no longer has any snow or ice on it. So yay !!! Snow is still on the ground, however treated and scraped roads are about 95% clear.

Yes, sheet ice is not a good thing.
Take care.

We've gotten a little snow which is a big, exciting deal for us, but I think it's sleet right now because my back steps look like they're covered in a sheet of ice. I'm staying put. I've been doing a lot of reading which is nice.

Yes, I agree better to be safe than sorry.

Ice in Winter is awful, better safe than sorry.

Glad you will be safe, Sheri.

I hear the whole state of Missouri has canceled schools. I know the area here has no school tomorrow.

My daughter travels all the time. They're all 3 going to New York in 2 weeks. BUT I got a flight alert due to the storm coming this way so I've cancelled by flight. It takes me almost an hour to get to the airport and we may have freezing rain Saturday when I'm supposed to drive there and in MS they may have freezing rain too so it might be treacherous for her to have to pick me up from the airport there. Just better to wait. I'm not sad about it. Better safe than sorry and I sure don't want to be waiting around the airport for hours and hours due to cancelled flights. I'm glad for a little cold weather. I think it kills off some bug larvae - maybe not but I like to believe it.

Good morning. Sunny I hope you do get some more snow then. Insulation is a good thing.
