I got new checks this week. They're the first ones with "20__" on the line for the date (The last checks just had a straight line, without a prompt for the year, to be on the safe side, I suppose, while the ones before that were back in the "19__"s.). I guess we're safely into the century now.
[I wonder whether check processors at the bank pay attention to the date, really. I wonder if I wrote a check for July 4, 1904, for instance, it would go through.]

I tried the who's commented in my journal script, and I got all the numbers, bars, percents, etc... except every single person was listed as an unknown user. That happened both times I tried, from different computers. I feel a bit stupid.

Thanks to Treacle_Well's sandal question, I now have a place to go to find the kind of footwear I need.

When I had a post-dated check, the bank cashed it straightaway. Their response? It was illegal(?) for me to have post-dated the check, so they can do whatever they want with it.

Or, likely, they really don't check it. Er, verify it.

I wonder what they'd do with an obviously pre-dated check (July 4, 1776, anyone?)...

I didn't know post-dated checks are illegal. Though usually I prefer to get checks places later if I'm not sure I can cover them (the exception being friends, who I can ask if they'll hold on to the check for a week or whatever).
