My DAD...

MY DAD

So, many of us do our banking online, right? That way we can see what checks have cleared, check our balance etc......

Well this is how my pops does his banking, in addition to calling his "girlfriend" the bank automated operater, He likes to know precisely what his account is up to all times. So he gets an index card and rights down all the check numbers that his checkbooks hold. Then when he rights a check he writes down the amount next to the check number and scratches the check number and amount out when it has cleared.
My dad still won't get a checkcard.

this is the back of the card with future check numbers on it.



ANOTHER DAD THING...

So we have cell phones that we store our phone numbers in, and when we are done we simply press the delete button and delete the number.

Well this is how dad does it. He has pages of pages of this old checkbook register and he knows exactly where each number is. Pure madness. Dad calls this his "palm pilot"

I could probably find my old address from college 9 years ago scratched out in here somewhere
So even though he hasn't given in to these fancy technilogical toys, he does have one addiction.

HIS CELL PHONE!

He calls all his kids multiple times a day just to check things out, (or just to use his phone) If you say something that he doesn't like then he starts pushing the keys over and over until you want to go crazy and then asks if we got the "text message"

Our dad is kind of a freakazoid, but the best, sweetest, funniest, kindest FREAKAZOID in the world.

He does, however, know how to email now.

He deserves this tribute today because he has taken Alexis and has let me have the morning off.
