I caved and got my kids a cell phone.
It’s my 2 year old one. They do not even know the number in order
to give it out, which is good, because they’re not allowed to give it
out. They do know they cannot ever use it except in an emergency,
like being locked out of the house, or a ride fails to show up, or if
Mom or Dad calls to check on them. They also know that I can
check every incoming and outgoing call, and that I will yank that bitch
in a heartbeat if there is any abuse.
(They also know that I will probably relent in the name of their safety after a brief blowhard episode.)
I figure the kids can use the ego boost to combat all the (well
deserved) shit I lay at their doorstep,* plus it is a
trust/responsibility lesson, because if I or their schools bust them
for misuse, they’re done. We will trade the phone in in another
month, and get them something with a headset, so there won’t be a
nukifying the brain with cell phone radiation issue.

How long can this go on?

Today is offically 40 (unofficially, it’s probably 45). That is how many pounds I dropped since about mid-May, after the happy finish doctor reacharound, and the union of the 30 foot anaconda and the momentary disturbance in the force. So, it is sort of a milestone day in Sockville.
Plus, finally, that Ahab f***er has stopped chasing me with a harpoon. [Ex-]Wifey is insanely jealous, so she is trying 1/2 the program. A few more lbs, and another couple inches of the waist and I will be about where I want to be.
The really important part is that throughout this self imposed program of diet and exercise, there has always been room for beer. Almost always light beer, but that is mostly so I could rationalize drinking 2:1. Plus most other foods I feel like eating. It’s all about calories, portions, substitutes and avoiding the insanely stupid choices (no more lard burgers with alfredo sauce and biggie fries).
The next real test is football season. We have Cards tickets (the former governor’s seats) for at least one game, which means a buffet. We may catch an ASU game, which means shit on a stick from the vendors. Games at home should be NBFD, since this whole stealth health diet is pretty well ingrained, even on the weekends.
