--right, the old saying that "No news is good news," and I believe that. But I know that the women in my family tend to be a lot more paranoid than the men do--once again, the case of my father dying suddenly comes to bear, here--so at first, I didn't mind calling them. But now it's just become a bit annoying. This is one reason that I like Facebook, because for the most part, I can let everyone know where I'm at, what I'm doing, without sending individual messages. But the older people (aunts, grandmas, parents) aren't really into that, and they're used to the phone call.

Funny thing is, my dad has almost never asked me to call him, but I like calling him anyway. He would be the last one to freak out if I went missing for a while, and maybe that's why I like calling him best.
