[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 328734, member: 8226"] HA! That phone company is so unreliable, isn't it? I've done the same thing before. You do what you have to do, and sometimes sneaky is better than conflict, in my opinion. So many things can happen. Modems can be ever so SLIGHTLY unplugged so that the click just isn't quite clicked. Stuff just happens. The last sneaky tactic I used, in order to keep difficult child from being on the phone all night long, was to coordinate the timing of arming the home alarm system ("difficult child sneaking out alarm system," that is) with unplugging the phone from the modem, which was in my bedroom. She just knew she had about 30 second from the beeps of the system arming before the phone went dead. I explained that the alarm system had somehow been reconfigured to take over the phone line to be ready to call the monitoring station if necessary, and that she had no need to use it at that hour anyway, RIGHT???
