HYSTERICAL! So glad you finally moved to a credit union. And stickers do make a lot of things better, you would not believe the things I used to be able to get my kids to do for one sticker.

@Hopeful & @Shirneen – I’ve found that Castile soap (Dr. Bronner’s) and a light scrub brush get Sharpie right off, pretty much painlessly.

Shirneen – oh that’s awful! And on such tender skin. I always thought rubbing alcohol would remove it. How’d they get it off?

I’d ask you to show us the differences you went with, but that might cause some other unintended problems…

Best Sharpie use ever….my friend’s 2 year old totally drew all over her baby sister’s face, arms, and hands as she sat in her car seat. Funniest thing ever! Have you ever tried to get BLACK permanent Sharpie wide marker off your skin?

I love Sharpies. I’ve used them for everything from labeling CDs to “repairing” scuffs on my shoes. Still not as good as in the olden days… Remember “El Marko”? Those things smelled great!

I can see your face as you work with that sharpie! I’ll def. be asking to see what all the cards look like now.

1/2 way thru your post, I was shouting “Sharpie!” – I write my co-pays on my insurance cards….kind of “old lady-ish”, but it helps a lot – oh, and things like my CSEA vision/dental and now GHI…I write my account number on the card. Why they don’t print them on is beyond me.
