It is so hard today because so many younger parents TEXT from their phone or browse ads from their phones ~ so this is 'short blunt inquiries'.

I had been going back and forth with someone via email wanting to set up an interview and I kept ending the email 'please call me @ XXX-XXXX and we can discuss booking a tour time' and she kept trying to do it via the email and I had to finally say look I do not mean to be rude but I will NOT book an interview over the internet for safety reasons ~ if you are interested in coming for a tour you MUST call me so that I can put a voice to the person behind the screen and so that I have a return phone number for safety reasons' and that was the last I heard from her ..... seriously is it too much to ask you to CALL instead of emailing? Makes ya wonder why the refusal to CALL?
