I'll be going to work today. <br /><br />I have everything built in to my laptop, too, and I can talk to others with Macs or iPhones (maybe iPads, too) at no cost without skype. There are other services out there, as well. I know what you mean about still talking on the phone. My daughter and I talk on the phone, email, text, and now Skype! It would be easier to just live next door!, cause we are at it every single day!

Funny thing is we still end up using the phone!<br />I hope your week turns out alright with work.

I'll be at work tomorrow, thankfully.<br /><br />Merikay,cool uses of skype! That's the kind of connectedness I hope to have with family! And I think your right about showing the sculptures. Yesterday while I was talking with my stepdaughter, she got to meet three of the dogs! She hadn't met them so it was fun that they climbed onto my lap to say hello!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-78678423930276412512011-04-04T17:14:36.857-06:002011-04-04T17:14:36.857-06:00At Christmas my daughter Aupair Skyped her family ...At Christmas my daughter Aupair Skyped her family in Germany, and they had Christmas dinner "together." We set up a laptop in the living room and did a Skype connection with our son-in-laws parents in New Zealand. They were able to watch the grandsons opening the gifts they had sent.<br /><br />I do fine with just a telephone connection for most of my calls, but I could imagine showing a customer a sculpture that way someday.Merikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378095339747943548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-43871186235511226772011-04-04T16:44:50.181-06:002011-04-04T16:44:50.181-06:00I am glad that the fire is not close to your home....I am glad that the fire is not close to your home.

We are all too busy to be family. I hope I can get my son and his family on it, but that's gonna be a harder task. We'll see what happens.<br /><br />Freda, I wondered how it would work on the group chat. I thought it might be a challenge. As for the computer, I'm enjoying it very much. I still don't know all the functions of the bells and whistles but I'm getting there!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-4414190532113641422011-04-04T10:39:17.826-06:002011-04-04T10:39:17.826-06:00Skpe is tremendous, though it can get difficult wh...Skpe is tremendous, though it can get difficult when multiple people want to chat with you and then the telephone goes. Yes, it has happened to me and I felt I was back at work in a busy office. Well done for getting your laptop information transferred - hope you enjoy driving the new one.Fredahttp://www.freda.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-74035838910272294992011-04-04T07:35:29.959-06:002011-04-04T07:35:29.959-06:00I like Skype also, but it seems my kids' lives...I like Skype also, but it seems my kids' lives are so busy that it seldom gets used. :(Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-27268670247204998302011-04-04T06:51:26.973-06:002011-04-04T06:51:26.973-06:00Kelly, I think there is little question that I wil...Kelly, I think there is little question that I will enjoy Skype!

And when my sister in law had her daughter, we loved skyping and seeing those first smiles. It's really a great program - and free! - so I hope you continue to enjoy it.<br /><br />You're in my thoughts with the fires. I hope your office and all surrounding buildings and home are spared.Kelly Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172122995737767543noreply@blogger.com
