Nathan on Skype

OMG I had fun last night.  Mike and I got Skype working and Nathan was in his lap while we were chatting.  The video was very good and to have a real time conversation was such fun.  Nathan was eating some french fries and I reached out my hand and asked Nathan if I could have one and he reached out his little hand to give me one.  Just too cute. He's so big, it's hard to believe that he's not even 2 years old.

Mike and I have decided that Skype is the way to go for video calls.  It's really fun and a bit confusing to use but it's all good.

Yesterday I went to the Dermatologist and all is well.  I had a couple of things looked at and end result was getting a prescription for Lidex and some Carac cream.  I have some sun damage on my face and arms that I get checked from time to time.  Overall, the Doc says my skin is in good shape even though I grew up in S. Florida.  I did have one spot on my arm that he froze off.  This spot, I've been watching, was one that was undergoing changes.  It will be gone in a few days so that's that.  Better safe than sorry since sun damage spots can change to skin cancer.

Then I went to the bank and took care of some account maintenance.  All was well until I got home and found all of my Bill Pay stuff had been wiped out. My heart stopped.  I called Bank of America's online banking number and crossed my fingers.  Hallelujah I didn't get connected to India.  This guy was in Massachusetts and had a brain.  I was so happy.  Anyway, long story short, he fixed the problem in no time.  Everything is back in place and I told him that I was so happy he wasn't in India.  I hate outsourced customer service.  There are companies I won't even deal with if I find out they outsource all of their customer service to other countries.  One of them is Dell.  I have had the worst experiences whenever I've had to call Dell.  Never again.  HP is on the list as well.

Next I had to get my SIM card replaced at T Mobile. Painless and free. 

That's about it for today.  I am going to do some finance stuff today and maybe cook up a recipe I want to try. It's a Jamaican Barley Veggie dish. It sounds spicy and yummy.

Have a great day my friends.

    I've heard of skype being used before to collaberate on something.  I know that was neat for you all...kinda like you were sitting right in front of one another for real I guess.  
    Well your day sounded busy.  lol
    Hope you have a good weekend.  I'm ready for mine.

    Glad to hear that you are having a good time with Skype.   That's great for staying close with relatives living further away from each other.  The next time you see Nathan you won't be a stranger to him.   Have fun.         Dawn
