Fine. Be that way.

Apparently, Ranger keeps giving out the number he had on my cell account.  I can't cancel it without a hefty penalty until October, but I'll take care of that then.

In the meantime, I have to wonder why he keeps doing this.  All I did to him was take back the property that belonged to me anyhow.  But he also has that bizarre ability to spin lies until he begins to believe them himself, even in the face of irrefutable evidence.  So, I have to wonder what the tale is being told about me that he thinks doing such things is a good idea.

A few weeks ago, I got several voice mails from his ex-wife.  I don't keep that phone on me, so a bunch had piled up before I got them.  The messages were not for me, but for him.  So, I decided to do the nice thing and let her know he no longer had that number, and that I didn't know how to reach him.

That opened the flood gates.  No only did she respond that she never wanted to hear from me, but she called my message a "pathetic attempt to feel close to him by contacting [her]."

WTF???

I reminded her that I was responding to her messages, suggested she delete the number from her contacts, and informed her that her number was being blocked on my service.  Then, I blocked it.

Oh, and I pointed out that if I wanted to be close to him, then I wouldn't have threatened him with a restraining order if he came near me, my family, my home, or my office again.  Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, crazy lady.

Then, I had a thought.  I wrote it down and waited for the next errant phone call.

No, he's not at this number.  No, I don't know how to reach him.

But I know two people who do.

Here's the number for his probation officer...and his ex-wife's number.

Stick. Pipe. Smoke.
