I am sincerely one of those guys who can honestly say, "if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any" But last Wednesday I got a call from the child support enforcement unit and was told my case should have been closed last May but since it wasn't they would be sending me a check this week for 9,300 dollars. The call came two days after I found what would be a big upgrade to my present nautical circumstances. I ran the numbers every way I could but in the end I was 5k short. I haven't slept in two days because I'm obsessed (in a genuine clinical sense) that I'm going to get a call from the child support people with a message like, " the IRS seized your 9,300 dollars because they found a discrepancy in the home equity loan you took out in 1998" And when I say that stuff like that always happens to me, it really does. So I would appreciate any positive vibes you could send my way so that on Tuesday or Wednesday I get an envelope with a check in it in the mail and not a phone call with bad news. Peace everybody
