[QUOTE="Seedy, post: 2054467, member: 10694"] Thanks Everyone! Grandma's doing alright for now. They think she'll be able to go home in a few days. I appreciate the positive thoughts and energy sent my way. I was just wanting to rant a little but forgot how great the people here are! The whole thing about this is I get along great with my family. I wouldn't consider us "estranged" at all. Not to say we all dont have our normal "family moments" every now and then. My mother did TRY to text me, but for some reason her texts aren't going through to me or my Brother (Verizon to Sprint!) I guess I'm really just more aghast that the "social norm" has shifted so far away from just "picking up the phone". It's becoming more common to text, post, blog or tweet major life events than to call. Maybe I'm just getting old (early thirties) but there are some things that require a phone call or even better a "face to face". [/QUOTE]
