Merry Christmas.  This is the time for giving and helping others, so I'd like to tell you a little story that I'm sure most of you know.

The story goes that way back when Danny Thomas was working to make it in the entertainment industry, he prayed to St. Jude, that if he made it big, he would build a hospital for children.  Of course, he made it bigger than big, and he picked Memphis, Tennessee because of it's central location to build the hospital.  It is, of course, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I have a friend who is a nurse at St. Jude.  She says that St. Jude is not a place for sick children, that they are a "happy" place.  What made me think of St. Jude today is that my sister and I went out to breakfast.  The waitress was wearing a St. Jude pin and she told us this story.

Mobile is the fastest growing channel in the world. Today, 40% of U.S. mobile subscribers regularly browse the Internet on their phone. By year end, 12.5% of all ecommerce transactions will be mobile. Is your brand mobile?

Do you use on line banking??  I do.  I, frankly, couldn't pay my bills if I did not.  I check my bank account daily and sometimes twice a day.  It's important.  Very, very important.  Read on for the reason why it's so important.

My sister had several minor strokes last Christmas (if any stroke can be considered minor).  The strokes were in the memory center of her brain, affecting her ability to remember as she used to.  This banking saga began around this time.  It was as if someone were watching and thought, "Ahh, she can't remember, so I can tap her for all I want!"  

It all began by her being overdrawn and we couldn't understand why.  A trip to the bank showed all these bounced transactions.  She was already on my accounts because of a medical problem in 2006, so we decided to add me to her accounts.  I went home and ran off a copy of her statement and went through...  Read More
