Curses!
Turns out my phone died at some point last night. I know I was still good when I was trading jabs with Trikkeh, but at some point after that even though I still have a service icon and it LOOKS like I'm sending texts I get nothing back and no one gets them. So if anyone is going to try to get in touch with me it looks like it's going to have to bee email till I get this sorted out.
