Well, just found out that Sunday will be my last day on here for a while, unless I can use someone else's computer. The ex never paid the cable and internet bill and it will be shut off Monday morning. So I got to get good and sick of this place so I won't miss all of you so much.

German conscripts who were paid to fight on England's behalf. 25% of the troops under England's command were Hessians.

Dump cable and get all your TV over the air or via download and then pay for the cheapest DSL or cable Internet service you can get. Probably only $30 or so per month.
Then go to court and demand child support and include Internet service as a necessary part of your kids' school work.

As cool as her kids are, I don't think dragging them to the library in the middle of the night is a good idea

My library has a cool kids corner with comics n' shit. Are you far from Wolverhampton . . . ?
I'm sticking with the library option.

I'd definitely go with DaButt's suggestion. I'd like to give your ex a swift kick to the groin (if that's not too out of line)

Stand in line.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll figure something out though. Worse things have happened.
Aaron is deeply, deeply worried and disturbed. This is wrong on so many levels and needs to be stopped.

(Huge thanks to Gav for the heads-up.)
Very, very worrying if true. Not just for internet users either.
It's not a major step up from what's already been publicly stated as policy/intention, so I don't doubt its authenticity. We're heading into a very dangerous place indeed.
