Best use of time
In a departure from our normally high minded conversations allow me to go Seinfeldian on you. My issue: Messages on cell phones. If you are callinjg someone you know from a phone you have called them from before, why leave a message if you have nothing to say? If a friend calls and my phone shows a missed call I can assume that that friend had something non pressing to say/ask and can be called back at my leisure. Why should I have to take the time to check my messages in order to hear "Just saying hey" or the equivelent?

Yeah.
And with Wisk, can you ever tell when you're about out? The bottle's too blue, like the Wisk. You've got to pay attention when you're pouring each time to the weight, or you'll run all out before you can buy a new bottle.
This after spending 20 minutes turning all my clothes inside out looking for how to wash them, turning tags up to the light like I'm looking for forgeries. What, do I need to haul the whole load to Antiques Roadshow?
"What we have here, sir, is an old Navy cold. It was worn with loose fit khakis and a plaque belt. I'd say it's 3 for $12."
Ca-CHING!
If you have nothing to say why are you calling? When I see that missed call indicator I have no idea what to do. Do I call back? If it was important there would be a message. So why should I return the call? It isn't ping pong. Calling, like Blogging, should only be done when you have something to say.
I use powdered detergent. I always know when its time for a new box. And my clothes? Why their springtime fresh!
Maybe one way of dealing with this awesome burden of friendship is to have less friends. The good news, with your sunny disposition towards hearding from friends, you're probably well on your way. keep up the good work.
I never wash my clothes, I think I have a naturally pleasant aroma.
As far as wisk goes, I have taken to buying the huge bottle at Costco and using that to fill the little bottle that, as 3000 pointed out, is difficult to see if it needs refilling.
How does checking messages instead of just returning calls limit friendship. The unknown blogger is just pouting from my flat tax thrashing.
Hey-Yah
So just so I understand. You have time to refill wisk bottles, but not to check messages from friends?
This is great. Now wnen you become a serial killer, I can be the first interveiw in history to say, "Oh yeah, I totally saw it coming. The guy spent all day filling up little wisk bottles, and man did he get mad when his friends called. He hated it when any one interfeared with his 'wisking'."
