Since this thread is called Rant and Rave, I'm afraid I must rant a bit.
I think this is a female thing, but I don't like my friends calling me every single day. I have other things to do than just sit around and talk on the phone. I don't call people and say stuff like, "what you doing?" because evidently I was doing something before you called. The only time I call people is when I have something of interest to tell them, but I don't call people because I'm bored. Sometimes I have to fade out of people's lives because they do stuff like this.
I know they mean well, especially considering some of the things I'm going through, but I don't want to be coddled and I also don't want long conversations about my problems. How boring is that?
Anyway, I needed to get that off my chest and naturally, I couldn't discuss it with my friends, LOL.
i could not agree more.
i am not much of a talker on the phone anyway. i prefer face to face communication as much as possible.
as far as friends go, there is just no need to talk to them 7 days a week. everybody leads a busy life these days and that includes us also.
the only exception is mom and dad. i call them 2-3 times a day. mostly in the evenings.
anyway this another reason why Camelot is a perfect place for some of us. they can really enjoy their peace and quiet here.
