I was able to make payroll and all that by week's end.

I do have monies squirreled away--rainy day and all that--but I had all sorts of automatic payments for various and sundry business expenses slated (for SAS, Cloud services, etc.) and I was pretty freaked out about the idea of bouncing a check (effectively) to the project management SAS service I use, or the Desk CSR software, Amazon S3, Dropboxes, etc., as that could literally shut down my business. And let's face it, for an Internet biz--that would be bad, bad, bad. ;-)

Thanks for your kind words.

you did much better than me, but your situation and mine, and my bank fraud are warning words. I don't think the general public is aware of what happens i either situation
