Be careful with signature stamps or "chops". Those should be protected from theft or abuse by non-authorized signers.

Oh tell me about my word!

Here in Australia had a nice fat check come in from Canda.

Upon depositing it I was penciled to learn it will be heald up to 6 weeks before being approved. :morning:
