Wow, Kat, that was great. The NYTimes site has some excellent art.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

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.

Good luck with the puppy, Dana. Also, I second the comment about the nails. My dog is much happier getting around on my hardwood floors when her nails are shorter. Also I sleep better without the tick-tick-tick-tick of the nails.
... although I suspect that your first foray into nail-clipping is going to be traumatic for all concerned...
