XW still asks me for things that I feel Ed should be helping her with.

She saw I had tax software and mentioned she would like me to help her do her taxes - I told her to get the 1040EZ form and follow the simple directions. She wanted my help in filling out a new W4 - I was busy getting the kids ready for scouts and had to defer her to Ed. I gave her forms to setup accounts with my retirement companys so we can finish transferring over her portion of my IRA accounts according to the divorce judgement. She wanted my help filling those out. She got a new desktop computer and apparently Ed's house only has Wifi and she did not know what to do - I told her to buy a Wifi adapter. She did but is too scared to install it in the machine now. And now last night she said that her laptop wont connect anymore to the Wifi and she wants me to tell her how to setup her own internet service provider because she thinks Ed's is more for an Apple.

I think that I am doing the right thing in telling her that these are issues she needs to deal with on her own or with Ed's help. She also has tried laying on the guilt that she has to pay for her own health insurance and she has no more dental coverage. She is not my responsibility anymore.

On Monday, she called and said I could pick up the kids a couple blocks from my work at her new health club (Bally's). Apparently there is a kid zone there where they can do homework and have fun after school. I asked X what kind of deal she got there and I was stunned. She pre-payed for 3 years and it is about one third of what I pay per month at the YMCA. So when I went to get the kids from her there, I took a tour and signed up for 3 years for myself so as to save money over the YMCA out of district rates. X got a free year for referring me! They have a location very close to my work and another one close that I can go to after golf practice or lessons. The biggest drawback of the YMCA for me was the long drive.

I cancelled the YMCA and tried working out yesterday at the new health club. I think I am going to like it a lot once I get my routine down. They have lots of space, machines and even some heavy bags which I enjoy beating up.
