Howdy Walk... so we inspired you to pay bills too, huh?
I pay most of mine online these days, and some by phone thus write very few checks. Interestingly, can't pay a couple online because I have a Mac! How weird is that!
As for AARP, Hubby subscribed at one time until they endorsed a Hollywood leftist, can't remember who it was but it made him angry enough to return their annual bill with a note to send it to whoever it was. I'll ask him tonight...I know he'll remember.
