I just wanted to say hi and no its not a petty thing... if its important to you then its not petty...
I get what you mena about picking up the phone though.... and i think lauries suggestion is a good one...
I use SR as my daily contact and also one person who is in AA... i laugh cos i have aholine to her... i bought a new phone that just has her number in it cos its free calls... it can cost a fortune making calls every day...
Anyway... just wanted to say hi and welcome you to SR
