Breaking Ground on Technology

I have to tell this story even though you will probably think I am a meanie when I'm done. First let me explain that my wonderful husband is not so...oh, what's a nice way to say this...hmmmmmmm....technologically advanced? Oh, not to worry, it doesn't bother him much. He just shrugs his shoulders and laughs when we tease him about discovering a text message on his phone that is three months old. Heck he didn't even know how to send a text message until a couple of weeks ago. He even told us that he could GET text messages but that his phone could not SEND text messages. Nonsense, I said, as I showed him how. Imagine my surprise when one day I actually got a text message from him! The kids and I could hardly believe it! WOWZERS! I'm a fine one to talk...I text in Abc mode...I've yet to figure out T9 (whatever that means, lol!)

Anyway, this story is about our handy, dandy VISA check card. You know the ones...you probably have one and know just how to use it. I have one (and I definitely know how to use it!) and David has one too. However, it does say VISA on it and I'm afraid that David thinks that means it is a credit card (something he is adamently against). Today we were in need of dog food and I had foolishly let us run out of checks. We write checks most of the time because there is carbon copy proof that you spent money, lol! David asked me if I wanted him to go to the bank and get cash and I said, "no, you can just use your check card." "Huh" his expression told me he was saying. "Just use your VISA check card," I said again. "Oh, I have one of those, that's what I have???" he asked. "I didn't know it worked at PetCo." Now here is where we start to tread on dangerous ground. We are on the "paycheck to paycheck" budget around here and it's all I can do to keep up with recording the checks that we write much less if he actually started using that thing! YIKES! So, what did I say in response..."Uh, yeah, I T-H-I-N-K it works at PetCo." Lord help us if he figures out any other places that take that card, lol! I don't think David reads my blog too often (and hopefully if he does it won't be until this post is buried somewhere, heehee) but, David, if you are reading...and you decide to use that VISA card in your wallet, will you please bring me the receipts? Love ya honey! :-)

Cheers!
