aw. How about setting up whats ap or if you are on facebook you can talk to people.

if you have facetime or skype you can do that too although I only do that with my sister who lives halfway around the world. If you dont want to show yourself on the video just do the voice function. Its free if youve got broadband already set up.

Thanks for the info. I actually do have Skype and put my Skype contact info on my profile. So if anybody reads this and want to say hello that would be great. :D I don't mind anybody seeing me but yes just the audio part is nice too, just like using a phone.
 
i dont have skype but I do have facetime. sometimes the picture cuts out though.
facebook actually is better for video, and audio, but you need to be a fb member.

I don't do the facebook thing. You should get Skype, its totally free to download and use on your phone or computer, ipad, etc. Google Hangouts is another that is totally free to use and is the same as Skype.

if you are on google hangouts could talk there but I havent used it in ages so would have to download it again, same with skype. Have you found someone to chat with yet?

Hi, sorry just now signing back in here. I haven't talked to anyone yet except myself and the dog. :) Just message me if you do download either or look for my Skype info on my profile if you download the Skype. Not sure of the time difference there but I will check back on here later.
 
ok maybe later on when Im up. I just checked in, woke up and its nearly 5am here. I sometimes wake at odd hours and then go back to sleep.
 
I couldnt download skype but can go in google hangouts..PM me you email if you have a gmail.
 
hey..
thats so weird I dont pay anything (unless its draining my bank account without my knowledge??) I will try to PM you but I have sent you email already
 
i dont know maybe if you live in a certain country with money you have to pay or something
 
well im not on fb anymore since it pretty much crashed my computer when the anti virus expired.
So cant phone anyone on there anymore.

another chat could try is wechat. I used to have msn messenger but that has since crashed and now on mac and upgraded so things should work better.

It's an age of account thing. The subscription system is relatively new to the forums and users who were here prior to the system being instituted are grandfathered.
 
this is harder than I thought would be lol.

The thing when phoning a friend is getting the timing right.
 
I may not make a very good friend. If someone calls me and Im having lunch, I tell them I will call them back. Like I dont drop everything and talk with my mouth full of food. Also, I dont txt back immediately cos I run out of credit on my phone. I also dont call people for no reason.

I know some people expect this of friends but I am just not that kind of friend. And sometimes Im not happy and I dont fake being happy or lie about my feelings. Some people call me to find out whats going on with other people but I just say why dont you just call them and I give them their number. Im not here to talk about other people.
 
well...
that didnt work lol

thankful if you still there Im sorry. Been way to busy to call ppl, and when people have called me ive been busy in another call talking to other people or my family need to use the phone.

I also find it rather annoying when people ring me when Im asleep, but they probably dont know how much I like to nap...I usually reserve phone calls for emergencies. Usually I put people on speaker so I can have hands free.

been using zoom and facetime quite a bit though. Im thinking of putting a timer limit on my phone so if someone wants to talk over half an hour it cuts off. If theres no news to report or emergency i dont call people as I find it rather intrusive to be interrupted in the middle of something.
 
I had a chat with another librarian just before and we did ramble on for about 40 minutes about stuff to do with work. even though my issues couldnt be solved, at least she understood. I dont feel I can really 'talk shop' with someone who doesnt truly understand it.

with some people though you get the feeling they want to prolong the conversation with small talk and questions so I try to think of conversation stoppers like I need to go to bed now. What I mean is with friends is they do understand without you having to explain everything or spell it out. Thats the difference between a friend and a therapist, aside from paying them, a therapist will at most only pretend to understand what you are going through.
