Ha! I love the fortunes. How appropriate. Are you sure you didn't plant them?

If you could get him to use the home phone, you could bug it. You can get a recorder from radio shack that you just plug into a phone jack anywhere in the house. It will record everything.

Then you just go out for the day and leave him at home, and hope he calls someone.

No, I don't think he use home phone a lot. He uses the cell and hide the phone activity. I need to call the cell company to find out. It is under his name. Who he talks to on the phone may not be important. I need to know whom he is meeting at nights. Is there any device I can buy to pu in his cloth, so I can listen? Boy, I am becoming a spy.

Kids did not behave in hte morning. H is yelling at them,and threat them that he will leave. What kind of father!

You can get a voice activated recorder to put in the car, but the people here seem to have trouble getting anything clear.

Or you may just have to hire a PI. They are expensive, but will get the goods on him. Then you can expose the A.

Believer,

I am seriously considering hiring a PI. I need to find out how much it costs first. I will pray for direction. Talk to the ministor and friends before any action. I need to go to church now. Take care.

A PI may cost around $500. for 4 hours. A cheaper way is to rent a car, and if you can figure out when he is going, you or a friend follow the suspected OW. Put on a blond wig.

Another thing to try is call all the motels in the area. I did that and every single one of them let me know that H was not registered there.

It only takes a little time. I called and said a friend was checking in at around 5:00PM. I gave his name, and each one let me know he was not registered.

Then if you find one he is at, hang up and show up at the motel.

lostnhurt -

Most places require ID. He will probably use own name, or maybe it will be in her name.

I wrote all the motel numbers down and called one after another - all 17. It took less than 20 minutes. It saved a lot of time, and gas.

But I think that there are much more than 17 of them in this area. It is a huge metro area. I even don't know which direction he is heading to. We are close to Cananda, I found one credit card charge of hotel in Canada in Dec.

Well they usually go back to the same place. So call the hotel in Canada. Otherwise rent a car and follow OW. It only costs about $25.00, much cheaper than a PI.

That is better idea. Now I have to think of babysitting and explain to them where mom will go.

Now I just came home. I w3as responding to you from the library. As I predict, he's gone again with no trace.

But I found some pwd and ids. I can get to the cell phone page. But there is no activity for his phone. I am calling the phone company.

I don't know why I got to hate him now.

Start calling hotels and motels. Do it for about an hour. Then next time he disappears call other hotels.

Later you can rent a car, put on a blond wig and follow suspected OW. If you know ahead of time that he is likely to leave, you will have a head start.

While I was holding to talk to the cell phone company, my cell phone rang, it was OW's H. I missed that call, he said he had something for me in hte message. Then I called back, but he was not there.

When I canme back to the phone, I lost the customer service. I have to wait again. I am not in NY.

He has probably figured it out. Have you called hotels?

I think you will find out soon what is happening. Are you ready?
