ooh yes it really hearts when our loved ones left us alone. today is valentines day and atleast they should be here near you to papper you :) . i hope you both will bein tough through phone today :) best of luck

The internet is the tie that binds me and my husband for 2 months that he is away working on a tanker vessel nautical miles away. Before he was on a sailing tanker for 9 months and the only communication we have is thru satellite call. But with constant praying he was assigned to a far better ship which is a production tanker that does not go on sailing but on a fixed location in the middle of the sea and has the internet connection and for 2 years now we are in constant communication every night thru yahoo messenger and we talked for more than an hour on his free time everyday. When our love is true there is no amount of miles can ever hinder our burning desire to get in touch with our love ones specially THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY TO KEEP IN TOUCH because every minutes count HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

i am in the city and my parents brothers and sisters are in the province, so i am texting them and calling them once in a while to check if they are okey. and i have relatives and friends abroad so i chat with them and i send emails too.

hi it's hard at times and i do have the 'out of sight, out of mind' funda. my best friend and my cousin sis are both in a diff country. it gets so hard to communicate and just be in touch sometimes no matter how hard i try. we do chat/scrap on orkut/email/voice chat - but it's really not the same. we do meet once a few months.

I can contact and communicate by sending snailmails, or sometime i can go to meet them

Text messaging is the easiest way.. and for me actually the cheapest especially if the one your texting has a roaming sim card device... Chat is another thing.. plus I also do e-mail and snailmail if Im not busy enough... Have a nice day maryannemax!

I lived in ireland before and from that time I have friends from alot of countried. We communicate through emails, msm messanger and also text messages on the phone. Every once in a while one of us will call and we will have a chat over the phone =)

My way of communication is through internet with most of the people mainly. But specially for my parents I like to call them, though I do mail them too. In every few days I have to call my parents who are far away from me, otherwise I don't feel good. For all long distance friend I go thorugh mail or chating on mesenger. But with my friends withing USA, I like to call them now and then.

It's nice that communicating with others is much easier now, with many options to choose from like snail mails, e-mails, telephones, mobile phones, and other innovations. I use mostly e-mails to communicate with them.

My husband and I talk alot over the net as well. He is in another country now as well. Every night we spend hours and hours on MSN talking on video and voice. Way better than typing.:) We also send text and even miscalls here and there to show we are thinking of each other. I texted my parents now and then who are also in another province. My parents sometimes call me to check up on things.

I communicate with all the people close to me thru YM, cellphone - text messaging and thru phone. ^_^

We are just licky in this generation as we have some advanced communication technologies. We can communicate to remote places through phones and internet. In earlier days if someone travels to abroad, it will be after 2-3 years when he comes back, people understands that he is still alive. We definitelydont have such problem, so I am happy :)

I communicate with my mom through chat everyday,i make sure i chat with her in the morning before she goes to sleep.we live apart from each other with different time zones. Then for my friends abroad i sms them or they call me and if they are online we chat for a few hours.

I also have family relatives that are so far away from us because they are working in other country. We use internet to communicate because I think internet and computer is more affordable than to call using phones. We use yahoo to chat and we also chat in facebook. We use web camera to see each other. I also use cellphone sometimes and I use the viber application to call or send them a text message.
