[QUOTE="DDD, post: 462081, member: 35"] Hmmmm....but silence is golden. Maybe this will clarify it a bit more. My big sister completely knows that 8 pm is the cut off for the phone (as do the children and grandchildren) SO :sigh: she will call at five of eight and say "Oh, thank goodness I got you before you unplugged the phone". Then she talks (no exaggeration) for an hour or two and I am nodding off as I listen. Now, honestly, does that make any sense?? She's not sharing deep thoughts or urgent problems. She just wants to talk. Meanwhile from six AM when she gets up to eight PM she doesn't call? I don't get it. Really I am a nice guy sort but I have claimed 8 pm to 8 am as time for me to regenerate. If they lived anywhere nearby I might feel obligated to "take calls" but there's nothing I can do during the night that would be helpful anyway. Nope. I'm being a DDD advocate (saving my sanity advocate). You can email, you can fax, you can call my work number or call my toll free number but I will not answer my home phone after eight!
