Ann,

 Without a doubt you have in the past. This year has not been a year of payment. I have asked status on a check more than once in the past 2 months without a check. I was told twice that the check was mailed and that was the first week of August. It is now a full month later. And still no check. I also asked about a check for a search in April and again told it was mailed, and it has not been received.

So you see things are no longer the same, for me anyway
