How do i get thru this ?

We should be able to talk tonight. I am really praying she is online on time. I am desperately hanging on till then.

I keep telling myself things like " i am okay. Things will be all right" in an attempt to handle things on my own. It is hard to believe myself i guess

Do you have an iPod Touch or iPhone? Those are really great to use Skype on when you are away from the computer. I was just out of the country for five months, and I would use my ipod and wifi to skype people at home. Skype can also just be used as a normal phone service for voice call. Really cheap rates like 2 or 4 cents a minute. You could sit outside and pick up your house's wifi or find somewhere private near a cafe with wifi. Or if you have an iphone, you can just use the data connection.

I hope things get better.

I do have skype on my iphone and ipad....she does have skype on her laptop
Can i really use skype to just call her with voice and get that low of a rate?

She does not have skype on her phone though she has a very very basic and cheap phone that she is just using while she is in that country.

I am waiting for her to get online. I hope its soon. I need a good three or four hours to talk to her today.

I've been waiting for her for an hour and she still hasn't gotten online
I tried calling her and no answer
and of course, my husband is gone right now, so we could have actual privacy, if she would just GET ONLINE.....

I am getting sick with worry and near tears. Tried texting her as well. Where could she BE?

I'm sorry, Sarah. I just wish your T would come home. Don't panic over the fact she can't get online. What time is it where she is compared to where you are? She may be asleep or busy with the family member she is taking care of. Please don't think it has anything to do with you. I know it doesn't.

Thanks.
Well it took about an hour more and she finally answered her phone.
We talked for about 3 hours. It was a good talk. She talked to about 10 of us. I got to talk twice. She answered a bunch of questions i had. And she is so good talking with the littler ones. We are going to talk some more today.

That's great to hear SarahMichelle. Hope you have another good talk today!

I think it depends on countries, but it was definitely the lowest thing that I ever saw while I was travelling. You just register with them for a phone account (free) and can add credit for calling time.

Good luck!

We talked for about 3 or 4 hours last night. We're feeling better. T talked to someone inside who has always refused to speak to her, he called her names and yelled at her, but shes thrilled and says its progress, and it took some of the internal pressure off.
