On Electronic debits moving money more quickly

Kiki, I'm glad your 82 yr old parent accepts the new technology. Unfortunately, not all elderly do--whether by choice or natural aging and confusion. My parents (87 & 84) get very confused very easily & are not able to comprehend the 'newfangled' things. A few years ago, they would have been fine with it, but at their stage of aging, they can't.

I'm with you, wendysue. I write checks too, but I have mine filled out (except for the amount) BEFORE I get to the front of the line. I have also used debit cards before and have had trouble with the PIN number not working. Sorry we irritate you, Gary, I guess we're not as SMART & EDUCATED about EVERYTHING as you obviously are.

Not everyone uses debit cards. My parents are in their 80's & write checks. I'm sorry they hold the lines up, and they know you find them irritating, but they don't understand the computer age & electronic transfers. They won't be around that much longer and with that thought in mind, I don't mind being held up by the elderly in lines. We will all be slow & feeble some day--if we are lucky!

In Beloit, when you take an animal to the vet for its vaccination, you get your license there--easy & painless. I don't like a lot about Beloit, but that was one thing they do right!

I currently have a son in college & another son to start next year. We weren't able to save as much as we would have liked when the boys were younger due to job losses...and now we are faced with paying. We WILL find a way, but it's going to be tough. I don't think the wealthy should pay more, but I do think there should be more options for the middle class. My son wasn't even elligible for work study this year, we are hoping that they both will be next year.

I'd like to know where some of the City Council candidates were born/raised. I think I know one of them from my childhood, but would like to see more of a background on them. Thanks!

My oldest son took 4 years of German @ Craig. He tested out of two YEARS (12 credits) of college German. He is triple majoring in German, History & International Studies. He probably would not be able to triple major if he hadn't skipped all those lower level German classes. He also took 1 year of Chinese @ the International Academy (part of the JSD). He took Chinese 1 in college (while taking a Junior level German class) and struggled with it. Chinese is a very difficult language to learn. The world is getting smaller, mainly because of the internet & ease of travel (remember what it was like to call long distance in the 60's or travel overseas?). Our children need to learn another language--we can't expect the world to speak english. Our younger son also took 4 years of German @ Craig (God Bless Linda Miller!!) And will continue his German studies in college beginning this fall. He too has tested out of several German classes. Kids need to learn a second (or third) language!
