# and his wife recently had a situation where his job wasn't able to do electronic payroll, so they had to wait for a check to be mailed from HQ. Meanwhile, her $EMPLOYER was taken over by another company, so their payroll was late. I decided to send some money, but I had to wait for unemployment insurance to send it to me first.

It just happened that her parents were visiting for most of this time, so they stocked the house with food.

By the time my money arrived, the in-laws were gone and the paychecks had started arriving.
