Also a special thank you to my partner in this particular crime @elainef99 who has been a total inspiration to me throughout the whole process and has put up with some terrible Skype problems and remote working solutions in order to make it happen.

Work wouldn't even be an issue, I'd just take my laptop, find a hot desk, Skype in if need be.

@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

@Plantronics I do love my headset but it’s just not working at all with Skype. I don’t know it the problem is with Skype or the macOS

If you’re trying to get in touch w friends or family use WhatsApp/FB messenger/Viber/Skype/similar platforms as there are some issues with phone signal & land lines. Elevators should be avoided if possible until all aftershocks have passed. Keep following local news for updates.

@gagal97 This happens a lot to my friends and I because we work with the military. My Mom missed two Christmases because she was deployed. Skype and FaceTime always help! 💛

@Suhail .... And anything that is good which they acquire literally goes down the toilet e.g Hotmail, Skype, Linkedin etc etc etc. Their only product that I rate highly is their business intelligence software.

@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.

@DmiMorgan Also my mate got down to final two, I was with her when she was having her Skype call with the producers and the process.. there’s so much behind closed doors than what you see on screen, and that’s when I lost my ratings for it

@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.
