The tree fell.

Big maple in our yard. I *liked* that tree, too. Fortunately, it didn't break any windows or our roof (though it's displaced a few squirrels...) and it looks like we're going to be getting a LOT more sun as soon as it's taken down properly (trust me, we're calling a professional. By now we all know the hazards of do-it-yourself tree removal).
This is how we found out our phone's been disconnected for lack of payment. Again. This is not my mother's fault, she never got the bill. The fact that you have to pay the bill regardless of whether or not you see it doesn't seem to occur to her. It turns out that this is my fault. Apparently, my mother is incapable of finding the phone bill. In the mailbox. Ever. I should sort the mail and give it to her. Of course, we've tried that, and the end result is she never reads her mail. This is not her fault. And I know I've tried handing the mail to her, but then she claims she never got it (and it's my fault).
*screams*
It's okay, though. I'm setting her up for online billing. I'd like to see how it's my job to check her email for her.
