@VictorVrsnik @Caanz @EllaMinty @i_kostopoulos @PRSA My outcry over these issues led the then-PRSA Nat’l Chair to hold a Skype call with my local PRSA chapter board in Knoxville, TN, where I live/work, in which she defamed my motives & professionalism (I was not present to defend myself). #PowerAndInfluence

$MSFT Skype #skype has to be the worst ******* app ever. If you know your password, just answer 19 questions. If you don’t, no problem, just tell us when you lost your virginity, her name & 3 facts abt it. Seriously WTF. I need to make a call but will create a non-Skype account

@LegalizeitLala They should call it by their proper names. There's different farms just like ********. Krypto, Space X, Skype and many more. The problem is: they don't have any THC. They are big Bud's but very poisoning. They're called smokable buds which can be purchased on line sent by UPS.

@KalhanR You can call your voicemail number using Skype from desktop and use Skype's record call feature to save them as an mp3 on your computer. Then you can upload them to Google drive or any other cloud storage service.
