I do feel better today
I am a person of extremes. I'm black or I'm white. I'm wonderful or I'm miserable. Today, I feel better.
Speaking of extremes in parenting -- enjoy this:
Hammer time for cell phone used to run up $5K bill
6 hours ago
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A cell phone used by a Wyoming 13-year-old to run up a nearly $5,000 phone bill will text no more thanks to her angry father and his hammer. Dena Christoffersen of Cheyenne sent or received about 20,000 text messages over about a month, and her parents' phone plan didn't cover texting.
Gregg Christoffersen told KUSA-TV of Denver this week that he thought texting had been disabled on her daughter's phone, which he smashed hours after getting a phone bill for more than $4,750.
The family said Verizon has been willing to knock the bill down to a reasonable level.
Dena has been grounded until the end of school. She said she feels bad and has learned her lesson.
