I have sprint
wireless and was having troubles with hotmail yesterday. I never have had problems before in the 2 years I have had Sprint and everything else worked fine for me.
There must be something you can do legally, sole provider or not.

Could she use a cellphone?
Maybe one of those kid ones that only dials home, then she could just hit one or two buttons.
Only take a cellphone and computer away?
She would be sitting in a room without anything, no television, no books, no activities of any kind, nothing except 4 walls. She probably has been "mouthy" for sometime and it seems like she has gotten by with it. Sorta late in the game to rein in now cause at 18 she basically can be on her own. I would cut off any funding to vehicles, phones, etc., etc. if she completely go against your wishes. You have a child out of control but this has not just happened, right?
Not all of us ENJOY being cellphone maniacs sm
I have gone to a friend's house for coffee. Yes, I carry a cellphone and yes, I text frequently. I talk some too. Where I live we all have to have Verizon because nothing else works. If you don't have a Verizon cell, no one will talk to you. There are only about 15 land lines in a town of 1400 people. I carry it with me and I have a tone for the text messages so I know the difference. Do I enjoy this? No! It is necessity and I consider a cellphone a necessity, but not a toy.

Back to the story...at this friend's house, her daughter is there and so is another adult. That is 4 of us. During the hour I was there, each of them had more than 2 calls and many texts. They interrupted our conversation for EVERY SINGLE CALL AND TEXT. I found it very disruptive and RUDE.

Your so-called friends were RUDE. If they really wanted to include you, all they needed to do was actually call you and ask you to come to them. Instead, they tried to show up by using a text when you are not a texter. When I add a new friend to my cellphone, I ask if they are text capable because you'd be surprised how many people are not. They don't understand that no everyone is a fanatic about texting or technology.

So how many times did they interrupt conversations for the stupid cellphone?

One way to turn off people from texting you is to use all your Expander shortcuts and all the weird stuff they use on IMs and texts. R U hom? hv u got cof on? cmg ov nw. Gets them every time!
He takes his cellphone in the shower????

What the heck does he do for a living? If it does not require constant use of his cellphone, then no, you are not being paranoid!  Do you always hear him on his phone?  Does he make it a point for you NOT to hear him? 


I don't know you, him, or the situation but something about this is bothering you to the point of putting out feelers here.  I would not let him know about your **paranoia** yet, but I would not let him move in permanently either.  You need to take some time to find out about this feeling you have.  Could be nothing, but you need to find out on your own before discussing it with him.


Is cellphone bill of close to $400 a month typical?sm

I'm curious to know this.  It isn't mine nor DH.  I find it very high, but DH says it may be from texting or whatever.  Person has state of the art "phone", which does many things, but $400? 


Thanks.


you are welcome; thanks for responding

only responding to first
Memorials are for the people still alive, not for the dead. The dead don't give a hoot one way or another what somone else thinks. Personally, I would prefer to be cremated and just have one person take the urn and spread the ashes, then ask if the urn can be recycled. Not like anyone is going to write a best-selling biography about me once I'm gone :) Earth to earth, dust to dust, so to speak.
Why still responding? nm

I think she's right in not responding....
if the woman thinks she won, it doesn't matter. If she gets a response, she may just keep going. I had a psycho person who wouldn't leave me alone either, completely different reason, but I tried to be nice because we were friends, and try to clarify, tried to be nice and stand my ground, stopped being nice, but still responding...eventually when I stopped responding, the person tried a few more times to get something out of me, and eventually just gave up.

OP, I'm so sorry you've had to go through this with someone who you trusted as a good friend. Maybe this person is feeling desperate financially with the loss of her job, but there are ways to ask to borrow money from people when you are in need, and demanding it and putting that person down is not the way to do it. Money causes some people to just become ugly, either they have too much and become ugly, or they don't have enough and become ugly. If some people are desperate enough, they will do what they think is right....as you can see for yourself, in her eyes/mind, she didn't do anything wrong and there is no way you can make her see any different. I have also lost a friend to them "losing their mind" on something and just losing it. A few years later this friend tried to re-kindle a friendship, but sadly at that point, after all the negativity that the person threw at me and telling me I was a terrible friend, even though I was there for them and never turned my back on them when others did, after my friendship was called into question for something they did wrong, I just decided I didn't need that kind of person in my life, and if it took that person 2 years to finally think they needed me in their life, I'm sorry, I was done. If that person would've just apologized back when it all started, then maybe. But, anyway, sorry, brought back a lot of memories for me, and I do hope you will be able to move forward. I hate you've lost a valued friendship in all this drama.
Be careful when responding!
I'm not saying that the OP is anything more than someone trying to make interesting conversation, but there are lots of little innocent looking surveys on the 'net that Phish for your passwords. Since our emails don't show up here, I'm not really concerned, but I've seen this on MySpace, and I know phishing happens a lot on MySpace. Lots of folks use pet names or former pet names as passwords. The same goes for name surveys that have you do "fun" things like surveys asking you to find your porn name by putting your street name with your mother's maiden name, etc.

By the way, my pet's name isn't on the list!


I guess you are too for responding to me!

By responding, you are confirming...

what they were looking for...ratings!  That's all it boils down to.  Do the right thing and turn off the TV.  Pure evil it is I tell ya! 



She was responding to her "fans"
Who gives a rat's a$$ about Simon. She knew she would be voted off, but she cared more about reaching out to her fans and thanking them for their support. Although she was the one targeted by votefortheworst.com, they actually really really liked her, because she let them know every week that she was aware of them "supporting" her. I see nothing wrong with her having fun and basically mocking herself.
Thank you for responding, sm and anon...
I didn't know about not having to pay those fees.  This time I really did some homework as far as the dealer's list price versus MRSP, etc.  The confidence thing needs work, though.   My last 3 cars lasted 10 years, so I don't get a lot of practice with this.
