Are secret credit cards the sort of thing that Gud could find by getting a copy of his credit report?

Gud -- I'm sorry things have been this crappy. I hate being in that situation -- bills late etc. Of course, when I do it, it's all my own fault.

Gud, you probably should get credit reports on your and her SS#s. At least they will tell you if there's something else out there that she hasn't paid. (Free credit report site - [link]

That's a good question, sumi. I'm not sure.

I don't think she'd do anything like that. I think the mystery is a string of one time health care costs and homeschooling supplies.

Oh, yeah, I can see where health care can definitely eat into the budget. It's scarey how expensive stuff that can be considered basic is. That's good, though, Gud. Better to know where it went than where it might have gone.

Ugh, Gud. It does sound like her depression to me, too. May there be a breakthrough.

Alright, I think I've got all the really important bills taken care of and after a couple of deposits I need to make clear. I should be able to clear out the less important accounts. Lots of past due stuff will get cleaned out, but I had to dip into savings more than I'd like to get it done.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Rosa Parks has died.

Crap. Well, she lived a long life and became an icon. Can't beat that.

Oddly, I am thinking of Sports Night.

Isaac: Apologize.
Dan Rydell: Why?
Isaac: Because it's the way things are done.
Dan Rydell: Well, sitting on the back of the bus is how things were done until a little old lady decided to do something about it. Frankly, I'm not impressed with the way things are done, Isaac.
Isaac: Danny, you know I love you, right?
Dan Rydell: Yes.
Isaac: And because I love you I can tell you this: no young rich white guy has ever gotten anywhere with me by comparing himself to Rosa Parks.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Quick question:

I was digging around to figure out who my potential boss would be for a UW position I just applied for through HR. I found her, but her directory listing doesn't include an email. Would it be better for me to send her a letter or a fax for that personal touch saying I'm reallyo trulyo interested in the job? (If you say phone call, I will ignore you. I've used up all my reserves for fighting the phone fear already this year on editors and agents for conference.)
