» Perfect Timing
You know, as fate would have it .. I received that big $1,400 stimulus check the very first week I arrived here. The timing could not have been better.
The child support people took my other check. They took it and they didn't even tell me. I figured they took it, but cousin Patti put her foot down.
She said, "No. You cannot just have money out there that the Stimulus people said they deposited into your account .. but you don't know where it is."
I said, "Okay, I'll call 'em Monday morning .. but I know they took it. They are always taking my money. Many times they have drained my entire account of even the last penny. I may have to medicate before I call, but I will call."
She said, "If they took it, then you will know what happened to your twelve-hundred dollar stimulus. But you cannot not know."
If I had the money, I would gladly pay twelve hundred bucks to not have to talk to them. About anything. Ever.
