Get this. So, I have this thing called Skype on my computer, that I know some of you are, and some of you are not familiar with. To make sure we're all operating under the same knowledge base, let me explain that it allows me to use my laptop as a telephone...to call another computer or to even call a regular phone....for pennies a minute. Amazing! For those of you who also have Skype and also have a camera on your computer, then we even get to see each other when we talk....just like how it was predicted in those space age movies about the future. (Apparently, the future is NOW!) When I call computer to computer, it costs me nothing. Its FREE! When I call from my computer to a phone, wherever that phone may be, I pay something like 2 cents a minute....so an hour phone call to anywhere around the world would cost me around $1.20.
But get this! I just signed up for their newest subscription offer, and listen to this: I get unlimited calls to land lines and cell phones anywhere in the US for $6/month! But wait! There's more! AND I have a phone number! With a 206 area code! (my ole' Seattle code, of course.) That any of you can call anytime! AND leave a voice mail message for me that I can listen to once I come back to my laptop! All this for just $5.99/month! What a deal! (Imagine some cheesy advertising music playing in the background...while some guy is screaming about what a great deal this is....) So yes, that means that RIGHT NOW, at this very moment, you can call me at: 206-905-9631 and leave a message so that I can hear all of your guys' lovely voices! So cool, huh?! Now talking to you live would be even more exciting of course, but unfortunately, I am usually awake when most of you are asleep and vice versa...so I've been finding it challenging to fit time in for all of my 'Skype dates.' So this solves that!
It's my day off so of course I'm headed to the beach....and am so excited to have voice mail messages to listen to now so please call anytime! Man, this internet thing...what a trip! :-)
