$60 for a mandatory parenting seminar is cheaper than it would cost me in lawyers fees to fight it. But, really, the child is going to be 18 in two months, and wasn’t talking to me before this divorce thing went down. This seminar is helping who, exactly?
@matigo I can’t remember the last time I payed a per-minute charge to call someone in the United States. That said, it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a landline with a local telco. All the mobile phone operators have had unlimited domestic calls for quite some time…

@matigo there’s a particular phone booth in Seaside, Oregon I’ve tracked over the years we went down there on vacation. The booth is still there but the phone hasn’t been in there for at least 5 years now.
I’d be hard-pressed to find a payphone around here.

@matigo I know my wife and my son have both set up independent gmail accounts, so this isn’t a real hardship. She’s just complaining about it because she can.
@variablepulserate I do have the benefit of having friends who went through a similar experience, so I have an idea of what to expect. I can also see the future past this, which is…very bright.

@matigo and, frankly, neither does Apple.
I can’t move the email for phoneboy.com over to Apple until I can get my family off of it, which won’t happen for a little bit. Given it’s part of a court order at the moment, I’m not going to make any changes until I have to.
@whoisashygirl I've already turned the page, so to speak. It'll never be an entirely clean slate, but it definitely will be a fresh start.
Given the way the courts work in Washington State, I know the finances aren't going to work in my favor for a while. I'll manage, though.
