I never call or my oldies call me.... I have never used the phone in my life before :D I my first "phone call" was using fax and use SMS on my mob phone these days. Thank god for SMS, you can choose either to not reply or not or when ya are "ready" hehe
I email my mother almost everyday/second day, chat her on MSN on weekends, with webcam, so she can check on me that I am really alright! She lives 800kms away.
I fax my old man in Tassie once a month even he never faxes me unleast he wants something.
What about Grandparents? My father side are all dead RIP, and my mother's side, my grandmother refuses to speak to me, havent spoke to her for nearly 3 years now, even I send her xmas, easter and birthday cards every year, she never replied single once, oh well shit happens, I dont care really, least I know I have done and tired to sort our fued in the past, she is a stubborn old bitch, and I just no longer give a sod about her. Yeah I know it sounds I am a selfish bastard, but what can I do? if she refuses to speak to me, my mother and my mother's partner, my last sentence to her was "f**k off old hag" yeah very disrespectful of me, but I was just mad with her at the time. But I always send my grandfather postcards every moth, and he always send me a postcard of Tassie back, I miss the landscapesv/views of Tassie. So I am just thankful for still having close relationship with my grandfather, he was my role model when I was kid/teenager.
Yeah when I moved out and went overseas, I didnt even bother to email/send card to my mother for almost 4 months, I was just having too much fun, then when I got back to Aussie, I realised the importance of our parents, and I try to keep in touch as much I can, even I have no rellies in Brisbane, my sis in Canberra, my brother down Tweed Heads, rest in distance places.
Guess its all for now for all my blabbings.
