Surely this ignorant store clerk must be a product of such a union. <BR/><BR/>I'll betcha if one looked hard enough, one could find a Hallmark card at the drugstore that reads: Happy Birthday!

And the way they were grilling Temple about her relationship to Martha?<BR/><BR/>I can assure you that this was a case of prejudice. This is the town of St. Johns, and it is mostly mainstream Mormon.<BR/><BR/>Those two facts are enough. Generally people leave us alone. This person went out of their way to make things hard for us.<BR/><BR/>There is nothing wrong with each wife having their own account. Martha and I share an account, because we are legally married. Temple has her own account, because she was working.<BR/><BR/>I believe in each wife having her own money and would not prefer everyone to have the same account.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I have a debit/ credit card. <BR/><BR/>But I like this gas station, because they accept checks, and the money stays in my account a little longer. lolMoroni Jessophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791003745428989502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044028437468967231.post-8420661702136558062008-11-15T15:37:00.000-08:002008-11-15T15:37:00.000-08:00And another thing... you Americans need to quit us...And another thing... you Americans need to quit using paper to do your banking.

Or some sort of group/trust account you could all use? I think it's kinda sucky that you and Martha have a joint account and Temple just has one on her own...unless she prefers it that way. It's a bit of a situation waiting to happen. Maybe the clerk was new. When i worked at a supermarket, some eons ago, i would never have accepted a check because someone tells me they know the owner and it's OK, i mean thats the oldest trick in the book. The clerk should have called...but maybe they couldn't maybe the owner was away and out of reach. <BR/><BR/>The clerk being prejudiced against polygamy..well OK maybe that has some bearing but i think there might be another side to this one.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364136830068655046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044028437468967231.post-22770598272680408772008-11-12T12:12:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:12:00.000-08:00I sure can appreciate how you feel - that would bu...I sure can appreciate how you feel - that would burn me up!<BR/><BR/>Hope the owner fires that clerk!Disciplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869409191010505307noreply@blogger.com
