Hi!!...do you take checks?

Those 5 words have been the source of laughter, cringing, & astonishment from my friends over the years.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Ashley and I'm a check-writing-aholic. I love to write checks. Not just for bills. But in restaurants, boutiques, to people, organizations, etc etc etc. Yes, I know what a debit card is. No, I don't want one. I love getting out my leather check cover with a lil horse embossed on the lower left corner and saying "do you have a pen i can borrow" and checking today's date and asking "do you need to see my license?" It makes me happy to write checks. I don't know why. It just does. I know I am l iving in the stone age. I know it is old-fashioned.
One of my friends suggested, half joking half serious, that I even blog about my check fetish. You thought it might be worthwhile to pass on the info that's stored file cabinet in my brain labeled "the nice businesses that will take checks." So below is an abbreviated list of places in my town that I have discovered, over many years of pushing and prodding, will gladly take personal checks:

Rileys Bakery
Big Lots
T.J. Maxx
Werner Lowe
The Chanel makeup counter at Green Hills mall in Nashville

**Please contact me for the complete list :)
