    @Weewoahwoo Well some other people I've seen on here have had therapists that will do therapy by Skype (or other videochat service) before for cases when they're stuck at home, at least...

    @totallykeen @ForcesRadioBFBS @WendyFaux @RadioToday @RadioChris01 @militarycowork @falklands_utd @FalklandsinUK @militarymums @youthcommradio @bbchw I made a similar decision 2 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I have endless anecdotes of why!! When things have settled down, would be great to skype or something!

    @gronke @decustecu @BrendanNyhan @kabir_here @rp_griffin @emilyekins @APSAtweets @BradSpahn @AdamBerinsky @prisonrodeo @KryshaGregorow1 @NonAcPhDs I currently have 3 dept skype talks on my schedule that I had no prior connection with via twitter outreach. APSA featuring such a panel in a big way at a special time would also be a huge help.

    @Microsoft @Skype @SkypeSupport @CIA @DHSgov @WhiteHouse SKYPE I am no longer going to reply to him as SKYOE has all the information from the two separate phone numbers thus two separate case numbers. Please remove him from file and fix problem ( texts blocked) #HGOHD #HARJGTWO

    Having to practice your remote practices is a key point I've come across with many clients. All kinds of gadgets and tools, but people just use it as an expensive Skype replacement. Digiboards -> big bumb screen Fancy room cams -> wall inspection unit Web cams -> nose pick help

    Mark Mac Lean (@marktmaclean) reported from Melbourne, Victoria

    This is a leading story here in Australia as there are about 250 Australians on board. They managed to do some interviews with passengers via skype. Getting food distributed to passengers, who are asked to remain in their state rooms, appears to be one of the logistical problems.

    @nehpazojArchieH Suzanne is stupid. The point is Harry went to the conference to work on solving the problem. You can’t do that via Skype. I’ve tried. The best ideation happens w everyone there together. Suzanne needs to direct this at W. Skype works if all you show up to do is wave.

    @profcorts A really interesting question. I hope you get a decent response. If you fancied a Zoom or Skype call to discuss this or any other issue it would be great to further the connection.

    @CraigBennett3 @FT @FinancialTimes Tried Lon-Gla @AvantiWestCoast train and really good, only issue was patchy signal for conf calls, and WiFi wasn’t good enough to support Skype calls. An airplane has zero signal. Door-to-door same time and less hassle than flying. Off-peak and bought ahead, cheaper than flying.

    A4: we have NationL geographic Certified Educators, Gilder Lehrman attendees, and a SS inst. coach who is able to reach out. Usually we spend time sending emails to orgs to help out to use Google Hang Out or Skype to record sessions to play later in the day #iasocialstudies

    @carlyfindlay @erinrileyau I have an ap on my phone called qoctor which is a service set up by doctors in Aus who will do a consultation via video Skype and provide a med cert. they are strict & refund fee if they do not believe you or they believe it's imperative you get to a medical centre instead.

    I’ve been holding back my opinions on how the ICRS society operates & lack of student support. Just finished a 2 hr Skype call w/ @PavonaDetective about articulating these issues. We’re fired up! 🌍 🔥 🌎 🔥 🌏 & now I will return to coding in my pajamas #RoadToPhDone

    @champsuperstar There's a porn with a similar plot. Except the dude forgets to shut down his Skype before railing his old lady.

  • maccoinnich

    On Skype with my brother this afternoon. During the call my one year old niece wanders over to her toy box, picks out the present I gave her for Christmas and starts playing with it. That girl has a future in the diplomatic service if she wants one.

    I have three Zoom/Skype meetings today with three cities, in two countries, about three projects. On one hand I’m #blessed but also I can’t tell if what I’m coming down with is a cold or split personality disorder.
