Well, for me, usually the S*** hits the fan whi;e they're away. Coincidence. And they tend to stay gone for a week and a half to 3 weeks... so that is a long time and anything can happen. Usually tho, mine have said i can call or email at any time (tho I may not hear back) and one even made call sessions to check in - that was sort of nice, but I couldn't talk over the phone, so not much was accomplished. Now I have a new one and i know she is "out of the country " from time to time.
