[FONT="Century Gothic"] I have a question and I am just going to throw it out there.
A friend of mine just found out some health news and she has been trying to get in touch with her son's Mom. It could effect him when he is older but if it is caught now all is fine. Last I talked to her she said she has called every day so far for 4 days.
I sent a note for a visit. It has now been one week.
How long do we wait?
I know mine will be awhile. It is what it is. However my friend has given times when she would be up till. She has said it was important, etc.

Wow - good question Leigh, one I'd love to hear the answer to. So sorry about your friend, hope everything will be okay for her. Also, I hope you hear quickly about a visit. :)

Does she know that they're home? If someone tries to contact me in the next eleven days, for example, it would be futile as I'll be on vacation with spotty cell phone service and no internet. It is summer and that's something to keep in mind.
But if she knows that they're home and they're avoiding something that has been labeled as important... well... that's another story.
I hate that we're constantly left waiting like this.

So true.
I don't know about the other part (if they are home or not). I need a fill of Big Brother so I will probably call her this afternoon and see if she has heard anything, yet.
Seeing this is summer - it's really possible they aren't getting the message.
As for myself - I try to get back by the next day if I miss a call. I REALLY try for the same day, but sometimes I just can't and by the time I can it's a little late.
I'm actually MORE dilligent about returning calls when it's to T - usually it means she might be coming to town and I don't want to miss her.
As you know, I hate the waiting too. I want to throw the computer across the room - then again, when hotmail wasn't working this morning I flipped out SURE that an email was waiting for me.
It wasn't.
((((hugs))))) to you and your friend.

Oh yeah, good old hotmail..... always on the fritz when I send an e-mail too!
How often does your friend call? What is the relationship like? Not like "important" isn't important, but if I put "important" on an e-mail, I think DD's a mom would answer right away. She tends to flake out when it's generic. Then again, since she does flake out, I might think that she was flaking on the important when she was really away on vacation or her computer was down.
Does that make sense?
I have her phone number, and she mine, but we haven't called since we reopened things. So if I called and said "Important", I would think that would be unusual enough for her to get her attention to return the call.
(((HUGS))) to all of you waiting.
Since she got the news she was/is calling every day and leaving a message. Usually it is just when they can catch each other.

I'd be tempted to send a carefully worded registered letter. I know that sounds cold, but if I REALLY wanted them to have the information, I'd go that route.
Still no word and my friend is thinking about calling the soon to be ex to find out if everything is ok.
All calls now contain IMPORTANT in it.
