Getting Aggravated...

Well, something new to annoy me besides slow drivers, ranch-a-holics and the Peoria City Council..... CEFCU's new online banking system.

I've called for help. I've watched the on-line demos. I have three computers on which two of them I have used their old version of bill pay. Yet during the new sign up process, it "doesn't recognize this computer". So, on the new computer, never before signed into CEFCU, I give it a whirl. It recognizes me (although it doesn't recognize the computers I usually pay bills from - go figure), my membership at CEFCU, etc., but when asked to create a new personal ID, it claims EVERY new ID I put in is already in use. REALLY? Someone actually has samadamsbeerfarts1? Escoffier1028? idoubtthisworks2?

Tuesday morning sees me taking a stroll to CEFCU with my laptop.

Chief, I understand your problem. There is a little box you have to put a check in that says basically :You use this computer often" That'll do away with a lot of it.

My boss had the same problem. I think what she said it was was that they were not telling her that she had already signed up, so all she had to do was sign in using her newly chosen user name (not that her user name was taken by someone else).
I am not looking forward to the switch!

Sorry this is unrelated, but I stopped at Willet's location at shoppes at grand prairie and thought of a question to ask you. It could maybe even an idea for a separate post.



Have you ever had any food products or restaurant offerings that you thought were simply incredibly memorable to you but that ended up disappearing from the face of the earth? I think I've seen posts in the blogosphere pining for lost restaurant offerings before but I can't recall one dealing with grocery store offerings.



Grocery store products that come to my mind are A&P Grocery Store brand chilli powder, Del Monte Catsup (just tasted more tomato-ey than Heintz). Rich's frozen Jelly Donuts, and the cold Jello cake that the deli lady made at Thompson's Food Basket at corner of Knoxville and Corrington.



Restaurant offerings include Childer's baked apple oatmeal crisp (served hot in a bowl, topped with various fresh fruit pieces and a 4 or 5 oz. syrup dispenser full of cold milk to pour on top), Kenny Rogers Roasters creamed spinich, Mr. Donut coffee, the old McDonald's unhealthy mysterious French fries.



Of course, the food items I miss most are Pepé Taco sauce-covered enchiladas and soft shell tacos made with steamed corn tortillas.
