I've been talking to my dad in Germany using Skype and love the fact that we actually get to see each other. But I'm not next to the computer all the time. For regular calls, I use TracFone. It's great b/c the internation rates are the same as loca rates. It may not be the cheapest, but it's very convenient and beats having to make trips to the local gas stations to buy phone cards.

However, I have used Ooma and have been quite happy with it. I can see how it could be a benefit to people that would like to use Skype but don't have a computer (does anyone like that really exist). Although it requires a front-end investment to purchase the device, using the Ooma Hub has gone a long way in helping us <a> save money on our monthly phone bill</a>. That's because once you install the Ooma Hub and combine it with your high-speed Internet access and existing phone, there are no monthly fees. That's right, free phone service. Check it out.

One Million Juan Valdez's thank you for your patronage. Oh, and some guy named Julio... And BTW: You missed a spot. Ronin FYI: The Spam catcher gave me the caption "Advertise Brainard". Think it's trying to tell me to take my blog private? Hmmmm. :) Glad to do it…

When I "reach out to touch someone," I prefer the old-fashioned method... a club. But... (Thought I was gonna talk about my butt, didn't you. Nope. Family show.) :) I currently have Magic Jack, but I was hoping for Jill. Almost married her, but she got wise and the booze wore off... and although there are parts of the 70's I don't quite remember, I'm pretty sure I never went AC/DC, so unless you have pictures... :) Okay, I'll stop. Maybe. Magic Jack phone line clarity is superior. I'v never gotten a garbled call, except the one from that kidnapper... I think he was trying to disguise his voice, but I could hear my wife in the background yelling. She was hollering; "You'd better pay up, or you'll regret it... you bleepety-bleepin bleeper!" HE was hollering; "Please, for the love of GAWD!!... I'll pay YOU, just come get your wife!" Anyway, Magic Jack has never failed me, and it's affordable, robust, and seemingly impervious to data loss. Don't worry that just cuz you're using the Internet, Big Brother can't spy on you... He's just doin it now from a bunker, instead of that van that's usually parked in front of your house... Hey, at least now your yard won't have empty Dunkin Donuts coffee cups and empty donut bags strewn all over it. You should be thankful! I gotta go now, I hear ringing... But it's not the phone. My kid just clobbered me with an almost empty juice container. If you listen real close you can hear him yelling: "Get!!!!!! Get!!!! Juice!!!!! Ah maaaaaaaan!" Ronin. Hmmmm…
