It's a skill, practice more.

The business that I own is cash based, hence my use of the term "skim" in my earlier post. Cash, untraceable cash, is a wonderful thing for just this kind of situation. Can you take an extra clinic shift occasionally and declare this your fun money?

I know what that's like, mine has expensive hobbies so any purchase that I make is competition for her fun. Even if I manage to work the skim/prepaid VISA angle and get away with it, the next hurdle is to be able to actually wear the stuff.
If you're wondering how I made out with our 2 gigs for our music club I mentioned in the other thread, I was in mufti (jeans and a T), the kilt was restricted to the closet.
