Do you expect an answer soon?

I've been learning, I think - - over and over, in fact - -  that I might be more serene and at peace if I let go of some of my expectations in general.

:)

Not usually here - but today it seems quite active and the answers are fun.

In life - it depends on the person, the relationship and the situation.

If it's a tradesperson and they don't ring back within 24 hours, I'll assume they're too busy and can't fit my job in.

If it's me contacting a friend, anytime between a day and a week will do - and if they haven't rung back by then, I'll try again.

If the email is an invoice, about writing work or from college I'll respond as soon as I see it - usually the same day.

  Er, um, no, but I'm sure you do, about that modern-era phone I was supposed to buy for you to replace the ancient relic in your photo. I'm at the cashier right now and I'll get the phone to you in no time.

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like somethin' from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
Baby, we know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could have ever told me 'bout this, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah I might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Yeah, then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me want to live like I want to live now, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Oh, don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let 'em kill you baby, don't let 'em get to you
I'll be your breathin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go to far, don't let it get to you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part
Ooh
Is the hardest part
Ooh
Is the hardest part

Norma Lea quite quickly. :)D

Not on here. Answers usually take at least half an hour.

Of course.  I need my existence validated in a somewhat timely manner otherwise I start to see myself fading into nothingness.
