Muskrat,

I doubt very seriously that the First National Bank of Mineola, Texas was offered TARP money. LMAO The First Mineola Corp is one of the most conservative lenders in the country and has always had a very high reserve ratio. If you know anything at all about banking and what led to the financial crisis we are currently in, you will realize that 1) small independent local banks that make only prime loans aren't in trouble, and 2) banks that small weren't offered TARP money. Furthermore, why don't you try the USPS money order thing and get back to us...not just any money order, a US Postal money order. This lady had no idea that I had an issue with this. I haven't seen or spoken to her in a decade or more. And I just walked in and told her the local post office couldn't cash it and asked if she would.

Like I said before: keep drinking the Koolaid if you want to. I don't care.
