GF “I’ve known her since seventh grade at Diogenes Junior High, you know, and do everything with her. I know all her secrets. She is my BFF. Henri met this guy, her BF, it was time. We talked about it, but I wasn’t even sure what she should tell him. If she was honest, he might leave. She decided not to mention it until after the wedding. After the wedding, of course, they could be honest with each other. They were living together, but her mail came to her work address. She knew that he might see her mail and open it. Plus they put some money in a joint checking account. A few weeks after the wedding, she worked up the courage to bring up the issue. Even he sensed that something was up. She came right out and told him that she had upwards of $29,000 in credit card debt. For a few seconds, she said, he looked dazed and bewildered until he recovered and smiled and said that he had something to tell her. Henry had almost, like, $38,000 in credit card debt. She was floored and almost went through the roof. Henri is usually practical. Things just got out of hand. She does not have any idea how they are going to pay it off. They are looking at so many more expenses as it is. She is still numb.”

Bumper stickers of the week:
Everything is as it seems
IMHO, LOL
BF F?
If you’re debt-free, I’m single. (If I’m in debt, you’re married.)
Remember that it is as easy to fall in love with a debt-free man as it is to fall in love with a poor man.
Be wise
It’s a wonderful life
Find the good and the joy; they are out there somewhere
