weyes Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 it's good to keep your family updated with what's going on with you, in general. everyone likes to know how you're doing, whether he/she be the worrying type or just the wondering .tune in tomorrow.

vicman Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 i swear i think im the worse in this. sometimes i just remain incomunicado from my family for extended periods of time. like right now, i havent talked with my parents for 5 weeks, and with one of my sisters for almost 2 months.

weyes Posted August 4 Author Report Share Posted August 4 my dad is the cheapest man alive (don't even try to fight me on this, 'cause i'll win ), and doesn't call me, just because it's long distance. i'm seriously broke, though, and i sometimes call him on my calling card and ask him to call me right back. the man has money, people, seriously. he has a psychological disorder as far as its concerned. anyway, we'll be having conversations like we did when i lived in the same city (we used to talk almost every day), and he'll cut them short, saying, "this is long distance." i tell him he could just get a 7 cent/minute plan, but he says, "aw, calling the phone company would be too much of a hassle. besides, you're the only one i call out-of-state." ?????? i don't get it. when i wanted a cheaper long distance rate, all i had to do was call the phone company and ask; they said, "o, you want a cheaper rate? ok," and it was done. weird, that they were charging me more just 'cause i didn't complain or anything, but it was just that easy. my dad could do the same, if he weren't such a freak .
