[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 241955, member: 3419"] Sheila, last I checked, abs were not considered porn. Unless they go beneath the hairline. And I'm not talking forehead. And yes, we have posted about this in the past ... my difficult child was playing games that he had downloaded from the Internet. It cost me $50 a mo. until I caught on. Uh-duh. If you want to delete your Internet access, you have to 1) call and get it deleted, 2) delete it physically from the phone, and 3) type a letter and mail it. ALL THREE. (It took me 3 mo's to figure that out, too. I'm a bit slow up on the uptake sometimes. :( ) But that means you can't use email or internet privileges, either. Make sure you call first and have them explain to you the exact terminology. Their job is not to be accurate; it is to make sales. We made our difficult child do extra chores around the house to pay back the extra $. Even easy child rang up a huge bill (excuse the expression). Since she hasn't worked since summer and had no way to pay us back, I electronically transferred the payment from her savings acct to our checking account. (She agreed to it.) Right now, my difficult child can stay home,and a jail cell and 3 square meals sounds like just what I need. Althought I would appreciate a pillow and soft blanket. by the way, as Ropefree pointed out, there is always an opportunity for smoke signals. Never assume because you have cut off cell ph access that your difficult child will let it rest. Where there's a will, there's a way. And brother, have these kids got a will! [/QUOTE]
