Well, my first thought is that if I can text, then I can phone, and then there would be no issue with wondering if he got the message or not - even if he couldn't answer and it went directly to voice mail. However, even if I can't reach him, and even if I've left a message, in my world, if nothing's going on that needs to be taken care of (i.e.: we have plans for the evening), then family can prempt a previous direction. So, if Grandpa wants to go to dinner, by God, I'm going to dinner. There is no way in the world I'm going to say "Well, Grandpa, I don't know if I can spend time with you or not, I have to wait for _____ to say I can." But at the same time, I do make more than attempt to reach my Master throughout the evening so long as I'm not calling in front of Grandpa and I do attempt to guide the dinner toward being completed in a reasonable time frame. I'd have some significant issues with someone telling me I can't go visit with my older relative because I was supposed to be home by a certain time in order to talk on the phone or computer. Thankfully, my Master believes as strongly in family as I do. This would never even be an issue. juliet
