I usually talk with my mom every two or three days, my dad twice a week, and my sister/brother-in-law about once every two weeks.

A few times every half hour, unless I'm in class. Then I have to call them as soon as I get to my next class to tell them I made it alive.

Same. :laugh::thumbsup:

I do call my mom from time to time though (probably less than once a month, but as stated, I talk to her on AIM all the time). As for my dad (my parents have been divorced since 1994 or so), I'm actually not even sure what his phone number is...he lives in a different city and such. I do email him once in a while though.

Not much.
I send them a few messages on ICQ on occasion though.

Ahhhhh ICQ... those were the days... :brokenheart:

ICQ2GO and ICQLite is pretty cool. the regular ICQ is bloated though.

Yeah, We use miranda for icq.

I really still don't like msn and aim. I hate how there's no away messages on msn. For aim I hate how the away system works, how you can't just type in whatever you want w/o saving your stupid message.

Get a pair of Mac Minis & iSights if your parents are so worried about you. They can even see you get busy w/ your hand.
