"Last month I was really stressing about money. I hadn't received my Child Support check and I couldn't get any answers as to what had happened to the money from the enforcement bureau.
I work the night shift and one day when I woke up, after getting some sleep in the morning, my daughter told me that the phone wasn't working. I picked up the phone and sure enough there was no dial tone.
I got out the phone book and tried to find the number for telephone repair as I figured I would just call them to report the fault on my cell phone.
I couldn't find the right number in the phone book so I called information on my cell phone but they gave me the wrong number. That’s when I went into my bedroom and started digging through a box of paperwork, receipts, old bills, and so on to locate a previous phone bill - as this would show the number to call for a fault.
As I was digging through this mountain of paperwork, I saw an envelope from Child Support that had the edge torn off. I picked it up and it felt like there was something in it. I tore the envelope completely open and there was a check that had been sent to me the previous February.
Wow, I hit the jackpot. How could I have missed that check. I must have gathered it up with a bunch of old mail one day and put it in the box. I looked at the date and luckily for me there was still another month to go before the check was no longer valid.
I was amazed and shaking over my good fortune. I stuck the check on my dresser and continued to dig through the paperwork to try and find an old phone bill with the phone number I wanted.
As I was doing this the phone rang. I picked it up. No one was there but there was a dial tone and my phone was back in service. Two problems solved."

Interesting synchro! Not sure where this one falls in the scheme of things (my scheme at any rate) but who cares? Her problem was solved on two fronts.
