the door. Also get a restraining order if you have too. Call a doctor or hospital and find out what is necessary in terms of committment, stop threatening him and do it if you are legally able to. If you cannot then give him some phone numbers of services that can help him tell him he has to help himself. No wonder your mom divorced him, sounds like a 2-year-old who wants everything his way and takes utterly no responsibility for himself.

Way to block phone number?
I just answered the phone and same ole, same ole company calling that I do not wish to talk with. If no return phone number comes in on my ID, is there some way after the fact of blocking this number out?
Is there a way to block a number...sm
from calling your house if that caller is calling from a cell phone. My mom has tried to block my dad from calling her house and it says this number cannot be blocked. I was also gonna block his # from my phone as well. I know it sounds terrible but my husband just came home today from working out of town and we were trying to watch TV and spend time together. My dad wouldn't quit calling. I mean we are talking every 10 minutes. I answered it about 4 times thinking he would quit calling if I talked to him. No he would just keep calling. And I am not exaggerating -- it was every 10-15 minutes. It will make you want to throw the phone out the window. All he says when I answer is I'm bored. I am like ok and why don't you watch TV or call a friend or something. He will literally keep calling and say I am just so bored. I can't take this. Why won't your mama take me back? Blah Blah Bhlah. My mom said a call from a cell phone can't be blocked. There has to be something I can do. I was gonna block my house # and if he keeps calling my cell I can just turn it off. Does anyone know a way to block a cell phone call?
I have had my phone number for 6+ years.
When I first received it I kept receiving calls from agencies for a specific person. I told them this was not their number, etc., and had no idea who this person was. After a while, they stopped calling; but now after 6 years I am getting them again for new debts, so this person is using my number (which may have been their old one) still. I just tell them I have had this number xxx years and this person repeatedly uses it for their info and eventually they quit calling. I did have to speak with a manager once, and after that they stopped.
No, but I've let someone use my phone number....SM
Big mistake. We rented out our home for a while and let the renter use that home phone for outgoing calls. I forwarded my calls to my cell phone from this number. She couldn't receive calls, just could make calls. But, now I'm getting calls from bill collectors and I wonder how many databases my phone number is in due to her using my number. Won't do that again.
1 vote per phone number would be fair...sm
that way they'd really know what people think and not who has the fanciest speed dial modems that casts hundreds of votes per phone line.
Mine has an emergency phone number to
call when things happen out of the office hours. THe recording at the office should say something about emergencies and what to do about them.
It may be a minor inconvenience but definitely get your phone number changed.
I went through a similar situation, but the guy I met and went out WITH FRIENDS with only ONCE went nuts on me and did the same thing, calling all hours of the day and night, showing up unannounced, at church when I picked up my daughter from Sunday school, he was sitting in a chair next to her and had no business even being there and didn't even go to my church. I asked the Sunday school teacher about it and she said he said he was my daughters stepfather! I said, no, he is not and he's nuts. I quit going to that church and I really liked that church, but I had to protect myself and my daughter. Finally, when I was at work he broke into my house, broke every pane of glass in all of my family photos hanging on the wall and stole some of my panties from my dresser and there was a note in my underwear drawer and it had the B word written on it. I was scared to death and I called the police and they arrested him. I was so upset that I moved to another city that was still within driving distance of my job, I changed my phone number, and my brother even got me a different car so he wouldn't know I still worked at the same place because he would drive by and see my car. When I got to work every morning, I parked out of sight and came in through the back instead of the front the way I used to. Oh, I also changed my last name to my grandmothers last name.
For the last several years I have lived in another state and am happily married to a very nice man, but I'll never forget that horrible experience in my life.
Answer the phone and after you find
out who they are, tell them to take you off the list. If they continue to call, you can report them. Have you not signed up on the NO CALL LIST???
Short answer: Yes, it's VERY rude. Long answer inside.
I wouldn't want my husband to ask, either. In fact, if he did and the people said yes, I still wouldn't go and stay with them, because I'd feel like they were pressured. Believe me, if they wanted you to come and stay with them at any point in the last 10 years, they'd have asked you. I, too, live near a vacation destination, and I hate it when people ask to stay with me. They're the rude ones for asking, but it puts me in an uncomfortable position of trying to politely say no. And it seems that when I do say no, the thwarted "guest" then complains to everyone else in our social circle that we are cheap, mean and unwelcoming.
Tell your husband to crack open the wallet and pay for a hotel.
I would take his phone away or make him pay the bills for the phone
He can use the postal service to write her letters if he wants but there is no excuse. College is not highschool and if he's gonna make a go of it...be the parent and discipline....my opinion but take the phone away.
Was that just 1 block
or ??? and power walking is??
Older here, going around block again
You, I think, have the ability to get him checked into the hospital for an examination psychiatrically for 72 hours even if he does not want to go. This is very abnormal behavior- you are right in there being something wrong. It is not just with aging- I am in mid 60s and although forgetful sometimes, say with where I put the keys or putting things around the house, the cutting of one's hair such as your husband is doing is 1 prime example of behavioral problems such as in mental disorders and to not even know you are doing, well if I were you I definitely would have him committed for the time you can and as his wife, you can. Check out a mental facility and find out. You or he both could be in danger of bodily harm- a person who is unaware as he is (such as not knowing he is multilating himself with the hair cutting) could be very dangerous. I hope you will seek help and keep us advised.
I use H and R block on line

About 10 minutes away for me....I was a block away last night.

I used star77 to block anonymous
callers but it doesn't work for those who put the phone number on caller ID. It has really gotten bad in the last few weeks. I work nights and they start at 9 am and go on all day. I'm on the no call list but really would like to block all toll free numbers. Any one know how to do that? I have digital phone through Time Warner.
A house on the next block is on fire. Winds are
about 20 mph and I lost track of the number of firetrucks have responded. Just last night our community had a benefit concert for another family that lost their house to fire just before Thanksgiving. Hopefully everyone is safe and the fire doesn't spread.
Remember the New Kids On The Block when they were huge?? When they came to sm
Hawaii where I used to live, I won a radio contest from a drawing. The New Kids actually came to the radio station and drew one winner for the grand prize. There were thousands of entries. Donnie, one of the band members, drew a name after the drum roll, live on the air, and he called my name! I almost fainted! haha I always said I was their biggest fan. So, I got the works...Limo ride, dinner with the band, their family members, radio and t.v. cameras (I was actually interviewed for a Japanese t.v. station through an interpreter). I felt like a star myself....haha....Anyways, I sat next to Joe McIntyre (I heard he was on Dancing With The Stars recently) and I flirted with him the whole time. He was my favorite anyway (back in the day, if you were a fan, you always had a favorite and I was in love with him). I remember he had a wicked Boston accent and I loved it! I am part Hawaiian and he asked me a million questions and I asked him questions too. There was definitely an attraction! I was 16 going on 17, I think. We were the exact same age. He was such a gentleman. I took about a 100 pictures...
After we ate I was escorted to the concert where I had front-row seats, backstage passes, etc.
It was a huge moment in my life for me at that time. I didn't want the night to end. I wanted to be invited up to Joe's room. I swear, I think he really wanted to hang out and get to know me after the show, but he had boydguards and family around and was so busy...at least that is what I wanted to believe...Hey, let a young gal pretend that she almost dated a superstar!!
Me too - more of a road block really, flat and wide. :) Also known as ,
Apple A$$ :)
An unfortunate trait inherited from my mother's side of the family.

number one cause of
Is cheap soap. Cough it up for some Tide brand or something dye/fragrance free and use plain ole Ivory soap.
Then I would wash everything in the house in hot water, including the drapes and have the carpets cleaned, just in case it is from the dogs.
The person who last had our number...sm
still uses it, so we get calls for her all the time! We got this number over a year ago when we moved and constantly get calls for her. We always tell them this is not her number anymore, but I guess lately she's been using it to give to loan places because they told us this. They apologize but it still stinks. She has a lot of debt out there, especially for school loans. We don't want to change it, though, and go through the same thing again and having to tell everyone our new number for nothing. We're also signed up at the Do Not Call website.
that was more than a number of years ago...nm

It should be 3fatchicks.com (have to use the number)

Know exactly what I stated and any number
approaching 8 is a litter. I have enough sense to know difference between normal births and in my words, nothing but a litter. The mother needs to be spayed. Now come back on that, also.
call this number if you care so much...
`-877-IDOL-AID
or go to www.one.org
or savethechildren.org
THIS IS WHAT AMERICAN IDOL WAS DOING LAST NIGHT - COLLECTING MONEY OF which half was going to the poverty-stricken in the USA and the other half to Africa.
This was such a non-superficial American Idol...but again, did you even watch?
Josh Groban brought some of us to tears with those African children singing with him, as did Carrie Underwood in Africa with the children - very touching indeed...to say the least.
If you have their number call them back
I recently bought a repo'd house, and I have been getting constant calls from the creditors of the former owner...how and why they got MY phone number is probably not very legal, based on the address I presume, as I put myself on the "do not call list" the minute I got my new phone number. Capitol 1 in particular was calling me every single day at the crack of dawn (I work 2nd shift) wanting this guy. Finally I wrote down every number that had been calling me on a log and started calling them back, and behold it was the same company calling from a different number every time! I began insisting on speaking to supervisors and threatening them with a harrassment lawsuit. They promised to stop, and then started again in 2 weeks. So I started calling them back again. For now it has stopped, but I don't know for how long. I guess I'll be getting mail and phone calls for this guy forever more (he recently subscribed to some magazines and they're all being sent here). Sure would like to meet him in person and force him to fill out a change of address form!
now divide that over the number of taxpayers
and don't forget to figure in her tuition that we will all be paying. SICKENING!
Just the opposite for me - 13 is my lucky number,
Same goes for odd-numbered years. Those almost always go well for me, and without fail, even-numbered ones are the pits.
There was a time a number of years ago -
when everything was so frustrating at work, at home, and everywhere else, I came within a heartbeat of just getting in the car and leaving EVERYTHING behind: Abandoning my job, my friends, my family, my apartment, even the pets in my apartment. EVERYTHING. Just leaving and becoming somebody else, somewhere else.
But I decided to give it just ONE MORE DAY. The next day I called in sick and didn't go to work, just to give myself one more day to think about it, and to pack and close out my bank account, just in case I was really going to do it.
The next day I went in to work, and guess WHAT? The boss had been fired! From that point on, things started looking up, so I stayed.
A number of years ago I was discussing
tubal versus vasectomy with the assistant pastor's wife. They had 3 kids and were done, but her hubby didn't want the vasectomy. Someone had told him it increased prostate cancer risk or something like that. News to me. Anyway, she really did not want a tubal because she had seen her mother suffer so terribly after hers, and her mother eventually had to have a hysterectomy. That was the first I had ever heard of such a side effect, but I didn't forget it, and have since heard many people describe the same thing.
A vasectomy makes so much more sense if you are paying out of pocket. My husband's insurance was through a Catholic organization so we had to pay ourselves, which is why we chose that option.
It's not a psychological problem. It's just not a side effect that everyone has.
How? By Googling "normal number of sexcapades?" nm

I did notice that but I hate to put my SS number on the internet. I know they said it is secure but
how secure is anything. I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea of the length of time it takes. Thanks.

Phone call of the day ....sm
ME: Hello?
CALLER: Hello, does anyone at your home speak English?
ME: What? Of course I speak English. I was born and raised in the US and speak no other language. Why do you ask?
CALLER: I'm so sorry ma'am. This is Jody with the Police Benevelance fund and we'd like to ask for a contribution for.....
ME (immediately cutting her off): Ma'am, how dare you have the audacity to call my home, ask me if I speak English and then want to ask me for a donation? Donkeys would fly before I'd give your organization a penny as you have now totally insulted me, a bona-fide English speaking American Citizen - one without an accent other than being Southern.
Can you believe it? My husband stood there shaking his head as I let into this lady. It's bad enough to call somewhere and hear "press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish...." but to have someone call you and ask if you speak English is absurd.
call your phone co and ask if they have....
I have privacy director from bellsouth and also am on the donotcall.gov list and phone#. However, I continually get a call with no one speaking from a SEBELL - I looked up SEBELL and it's a telecommunications company that once got into big trouble - with telemarketing - and now it *looks* as though they are back. The only thing I could do with that number was STAR (*) 60 which blocks only 6 telephone numbers via bellsouth.
Would it be possible to ask the phone company--sm
to come out and inspect your line? I don't see where a lawyer would be any good at this point, until something is either proven or disproven. Good luck.
