Phone Call problems.

As I have stated before and you who have read my journal know, I hate phone calls. So I started logging them when I get them, nothing fancy just who calls and what time. I hope to use it to show others how often they are calling and how it bothers me. They seem to ignore me when I tell them I hate phone calls and that all phone calls bother me.
anyway,
I turned off the ringer on the phone by my computer, which rings entirely too loud. It has only two settings, super loud and off. It has been really peaceful but I can't hear the phone in my bedroom ring when I am at the computer so I miss all the calls. Sometimes I hear the message being left but so far they have already finished and hung up by the time I get to them. I was thinking earlier that it had been a good day and I hadn't been bothered at all. I was thnking good thoughts of al lthe people that usually call me and thinking of thanking them for nto calling. Then I went back to my room for something and saw that I had six messages. None of them were vital. I returned one of them and will have to call someone tomorrow for another. I wonder if I should keep the phone ringer off or not.
Tho, I like the phone by my bed better and it is convenient there, I am going to switch phones with the one by my computer. I am usually at either my bed or my computer. Now the lower ringing phone is by the computer where I hope its ring is not as jarring and so not as bothersome when it rings than it had been before. The one by my bed is now going to be really loud so it will be pretty jarring when it wakes me but I don't think it matters as much since the other one woke me also. Maybe things will be better this way, if not I'll change them back.
I willhave to decide if keeping the ringer off is better or not. I'm not sure how important it is to get every call as they come in or if returning them is just as good. Maybe when I don't answer every call people wil lstop claling as often. I don't know. The whole thing bothers me. I odn't understand why I'm getting all these calls now. My brother and sister used to only call maybe once every two weeks or so if that. Now, a good day is only one call from one of them.
I wish they would stop.

In my opinion I would just turn the ringer off and completely avoid all this for my peace of mind and then call when I check messages once a day. I would just have a melt down and I dont see how you do it with all this, you have my sympathy.
If you check every so often then you could be sure to get important messages
