It really is.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, Kat, that was great. The NYTimes site has some excellent art.

It's so weird. I'm really a private introvert. But when I escape the lines of my property, I want to know the community around me. So far Anna and Ben and Tommy and I politely ignore each other out on the back decks and patios but for a wave, but off the front steps, a few exchanged words leads to a conversation or not with both neighbors. Or an invite. Social boundaries when we're in each others' laps.
I want to walk around the blocks to introduce myself to all the folk who gave me their recs and addresses, to thank them. But without invading their space. I guess if I don't get around to it before I do an open house, I'll invite them then.
It took me a long while to build a community where I lived before, and I really loved having that community. So I learned something, and this time? I'm actively recruiting. And the great thing is, here already has a sense of that, if not the personal ties. This community wants to be one. I'm sure I'll find Miss Louises and Ellies and Taylors here too. Just faster, because I now know this is something I can do.

Here's a question: if my credit card company contacted me about the fraud, I called their fraud line and verified it was fraud, they created a fraud case, closed my account, are sending me a new card and an affidavit to sign; is there anything else I should do?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
notify the credit reporting agencies? I think the credit card company might take care of that, but it's not like it would hurt to do it twice.
