Stop calling UncleBuck a whore!

Edit: Look dude, i understand that the dichotomy of the nuremburg trials didn't really come to light until after the second regression, so its ok to feed your cat during the second phase of mars in alignment with nero the second. Next time just remember that neptune and the wisconsin cheese fair go hand in hand and you won't get so confused about things.

I didn't read every reply, but a few things.

#1 the bank cannot refuse to cash a check because you aren't a customer, the fact that you aren't a customer has NO BEARING on the check at all, the account HOLDER (US Govt) is the Customer who has an account with the bank. The Customer PAYS the Bank to honor its checks to whomever it wishes (You in this case). It is irrelevant whether or not you have an account as you aren't the cutomer, the US Gov't is the customer. You are just the person the US Gov't has instructed the bank to pay. Explain this to the Manager or supervisor and they may see things differently and cash your check if explained to them this way. This may not work if you are not at the bank the account is drawn on and those banks have every right to refuse service since it DOES cost them money to process the check.

#2. Doesn't your wife have a checking account? Sign the check over to her and have her cash it for you. make sure to call her bank and get the skinny on third party checks as some have special procedures. You can have her deposit your check by ATM also, that takes a priority over all other deposits and is picked up before the bank even opens and is processed before the lobby opens in most cases. Since it is priority they let 3rd party checks slide quite often if the writer (US Govt) is in good standing.

#3. on/off sale places frequently cash checks, you like to drink beer so a minimum purchase may be all that is needed.

#4 Have you tried getting a savings account at a Credit Union?

#5 Use the FREE tax software and have your return put onto a visa debit card that can be used anywhere visa goes.

If you really want to fuck the banks, pay off your Credit Cards and then never use one again.
for some reason, i can't sign the check over. i used to do that for a friend who had no account years ago, but it seems like i can't do that anymore.

My bank does not even let you deposit checks of a third party nature anymore. I used to be bothered by my brother-in-law all the time to deposit his checks and float him the cash. I think it is funny that they stopped and he had to open his own fucking account- finally, lol.

yeah, i could imagine it being a pain if it were all the time. i have to cash a few checks a year at most though, would be nice to just sign them over.

still, life is better overall for me not having to deal with banks besides to shit on their salads like i did this morning.

Sativa in the middle eh ?
last year was my first year outdoors, and my squat indicas got over 6' after going outdoors on june 21st. i'm getting them out a little sooner this year and making a few other improvements to things. hoping i can hit that roof with an indica this time around.

Man, you need to get a few fruity Sativas in there dude. And please don't spin that sentence into something queer.

i'm at sea level, and it gets too cold and wet for them to finish without running a heater in the greenhouse. i'd probably have to run two space heaters for about a month which would cost near $300 or so in electric.

for me, that defeats the purpose of using mother nature to my advantage.
