Now tagless for your comfort.
Hey, msbelle, we got your package! Thanks! O insisted on opening and putting it on right away. Cute! I should have taken a picture.
I had to call Alltel to figure out how their network upgrade was messing with my ability to get online from my mobile phone. The fix is to take my battery out for six hours, which I can do. I also see that they want to keep me a customer and I can get my upgrade now.
If I wait until my contract is up in November, I can switch to an iphone or another carrier. If I stay with them now, I can upgrade and get a blackberry. I need to go in and talk to a sales rep. I want to renew my contract, but not the family plan we have. DH doesn't use it enough. Nor does he know how to check text messages or anything else. I think I'm getting him a Jitterbug.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, msbelle. Is your dad helping?
Amy, age of majority for what? I'm guessing there's not a legal definition, because it's thing by thing. But I'm literally just guessing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Dad is totally helping. They actually had a great day. Then I triggered monster-ville at dinnertime and we have still not recovered. We came very close to going back in, which is terrifying, but we didn't and I am 100% sure that part of tonight is getting out anger at me for the hospital visit.

Raccoons bypassed my unlatched garbage can with the chicken bones and a slightly passed steak and went for the recycling bin of rinsed bottles and rinsed cat food cans. Raccoon Fail. Me not having to clean up gross garbage Win.

Amy, the age of majority may differ depending on what the person in question is doing. Can you give some context?

Because books.
Thanks, Vortex. I'm not sure I really want to talk about it specifically.
I'm going to call someone tomorrow, I guess.

Oof, msbelle. Part of the cycle, but knowing that doesn't make it any more pleasant.
eta: Good luck, Amy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Amy, I have a friend who is a lawyer in upstate NY who would say that he could finally go on vacations w/o the kids when they were 18 and have it not be child abandonment, but I don't know if that was seriously reflective of the law.
