I get a lot of phone calls every day. I try to return them within the same day. For the first time in forever I returned a call and no one or no thing picked up the phone. That is, no answering machine.

What's the proper etiquette? How many times do I call back trying to reach them before I give up?

I know some people don't have cell phones. I have heard from a lot of people who don't have computers. But no answering machine? How do they screen their calls? How do they keep their dinner from being interupted. How do they record calls from the presidential candidates asking for their votes? How do they remain on the grid?

Oh, wait. I'm beginning to understand.
