Finally, a reason not to call...

[waterspyder]

So if you've known me for any length of time, you may have heard me rant on several topics. One of these topics is "Boys and girls who don't call when they're supposed to". In the past I have been quoted as saying "They better be dead. Or at least somewhere with their tongue and fingers cut off."
Call when you say you're going to.
Call if you can't make tentative plans.
It's respectful and goshdarnit, the right thing to do.

So I tell people that I don't want to have sex for a bit and the they don't call to see how I am.
Someone's going to die.

So I get a message today. One of them caught the mumps and landed himself in the hospital for a week, running a fever of 109, frequent ice baths and unfortunate enough to have the mumps get into his groin where he ended up with "testicular elephantitis" as he phrased it.

THAT is an excellent reason not to call.

But you don't say "So i'll see you Friday" and then drop off the face of the planet. Very big personal pet peeve.
