So.  Several months ago I had an issue with my phone, in which my local phone calls were not free.  This was not a problem until the girls suddenly discovered the phone and talking on it, and my phone bill started steadily rising each month, from $100, to $175, to $285, to $325.  Somewhere in between $285 and $325, I changed my service plan to include free local calls, and let the girls loose.

Wellio.  What I did not account for was calling cell phones from a house phone.  I discovered the error of my ways yesterday when I looked at the account we have solely to pay our German bills (rent, gas, electric, water, phone/dsl), and discovered this:

That entry at the top?  The one that says, TKS KAISERSLAUTE RN?  THAT IS MY PHONE BILL.

Okay, now.  First of all, no, I’m not mad at the girls, because they had no idea–I had no idea, for that matter–that it would be so costly.  I’m sure I was told that when signing my service contract, but I forget everything, remember?  Except…you can be damn sure I will be remembering it from now on.  Secondly…$758!  Good god THAT’S A LOT OF MONEY!

Anyway, an update to my last post:  I totally DID get the towns mixed up, and it WAS KoTweiler I was looking for, not KoLLweiler, and I’m completely dumb.  Also, when I mentioned to John the next day that he had said “Yes” when I asked if they lived in Kollweiler, he was like, “Oh, that…um…I wasn’t actually listening to you.”  So I glared at him via IM.

Also, I forgot to mention that I locked myself out of the house on Tuesday morning, and had to flag down unsuspecting neighbor as he was driving by and use his cell phone to call John, who then came home and let me in the house.

And, finally, I would like to point out that my birthday is in 11 days.  For the record.

Tschuss!!
