I have a new love. It is called skype. It has allowed me to talk to my friends in Kansas and actually see them when we talk. If you have a camera we can see each other too, or you can just see me when we chat. First, you have to download skype at this link . Then, you have to set up an account. Next, you need to go under the "view" tab and "search for users" by name or email address. You can talk over the Internet for free or call to an actual phone for a small fee. You can conference call with 24 people, if you have that many friends. It is a kick in the pants for sure. Just think of how fun it will be when the babe arrives in the world! --Let me know if/when you set up an account and I will skype you! (it sounds bad, but it is a good thing)
