Hey, remember me...
I absolutely LOVE this list!!! It should be mass produced and sent out to everyone who has any kind of a bank account!! I'm in Bowling Green, KY now and working at a bank, it's a much slower pace than PNFP but nonetheless the same mindless idiots that expect everything on your list. LOVE IT! Hope life is treating ya well!! ~Amanda Rice (from the Memorial Branch back in the day)
