well being s shift worker and as are most of my friends,, we never know if it is convenient to ring.. so texting suits us better.. Means we can still stay in touch to let each other know we are still alive and kicking.. just been too busy to call.. we still talk on the phone tho (for hours sometimes!!

seeing how most of us live in different states!)
as for the more personal relationships.. yes its always nice to talk but sometimes its nice if you are both too busy to talk to receive or send a text that simply says.. "I love you

" or "I miss you and can't wait to see you

" or even better those downright dirty sexual ones that make you go
love those !
