if its a real emergency someone can get me through facebook.

The purpose of the phone block is to prevent the reminder that my dating life needs work

Yes, Facebook is the first place I go when there is an emergency! Very good thinking on your part.

Facebook isn't very reliable. They have so many glitches and issues.

Dude, I know you're 38. You are very immature and you need to grow up instead of making excuses.

You will lose your mother because her selfish son cares more about baiting in a younger woman who is not bright enough to see he is a loser that only cares for himself and his fading looks.

Facebook is always the last option for her to contact me if she can't get through on either phone line.

It is reliable because as long as I'm awake, I am always logged on to facebook so I will get any message someone sends me

So you are certain because you are awake, Facebook's website cannot crash or their message system won't crash either. You must be Zuckerberg!

That is the purpose of this thread in a nutshell. The OP has a male biological clock. Better hurry and land a young lady TVSG. TICK-TOCK!

Are you posting while you're at your new company job? Don't they frown on that? Looks like you should be doing a little OJT instead of protesting your own crazy posts.

I live in Santa Barbara, CA, and my 88 year old father lives in Bellevue, WA. I call my Dad everyday. I am the one who makes the call. Sometimes we talk for just a few minutes, sometimes an hour. His eye sight is poor and he does not use a cell phone or know how to text. We talk about the weather ("it's raining here today"), gas mileage of cars ("I heard Toyota makes a car that runs on gas and batteries and gets 50 mpg, its called a Pious"), politics ("I still say FDR and Kennedy were our greatest Presidents") and family members ("Your great aunt Florita and uncle Sven made Lutefisk for Sunday dinner last week, boy was it good") My Dad DOES call me every Sunday night, around 8:15pm. He still remembers when 'long distance calls' cost less if they were made on a Sunday after 8pm.
To the OP: Consider yourself fortunate that you have a parent who is still alive and still concerned about you. I cherish my calls with parents. I fly up to Seattle about 4 times a year to see them.

That was sweet, thanks for sharing. I love the story about the "Pious."
