Pandora's Casket

"Why don't you call?" Ah, one of my favorite lines to hear from my (coughing) friends. I receive email upon emails with that phrase, or left on my answering machine. Most of the time I laugh when I hear this as if you are a close friend of mine you know that phrase will not guilt me into calling or even emailing you any sooner than I do at the present. I simply laugh and forget about it. Adding it to my list of maybe I will do.

Another line that makes me laugh is 'Is your cellular phones not working?' Ha, of course they are working. I just do not want to use them to call you is all.

Now, there are a lot of reasons for my lack of calling people. Number one I really do not like to sit gabbing hours and hours away listening to what is wrong with your world and those in it. Usually I will sit in front of the computer and work putting in my gratuitous " A ha's and yea that is right's in the right places not really listening to a word you are saying. Sorry but sometimes I just do not care any more than you really do about how the dog just chewed the back of my couch the other day and how I am going to skin them all alive. Seriously, do you care? A HA! Thought so you don't!

So lets just keep it the way it is. I email you every week, two weeks or whatever and you answer and we go back and forth. Oh I know you will break down and ask again why I do not call.

When you are in doubt as to why I am not calling you, think of this answer: I do not want to waste my unlimited long distance minutes
