skype

OK, it’s been a longtime and I was about to switch from skype today when I did some research and found out that skype will display your number on caller ID now!

If you have a skype out number, just goto your account settings and click the check box display caller ID info. It’s that easy. (You have to do this manually though) -good work skype team! about time.

Ultimate Beach Snacks

By Baker Jeff | May 25, 2008

Experience the classic taste of Oreo in a soft snack cake – smooth, one-of-a-kind Oreo crème sandwiched between two luscious chocolate cakes. So rich, so moist, your whole family will love them. This is BIG!

Great for playing at the beach. 250 calories, 140mg of potassium, 36g of carbs and 2g of protein. Better than a snickers. I need that kinda energy I need at the beach!

Goldfish crackers are the best snack. Great for the beach. (Just wanted to write a post, not affiliated with Pepperidge farms in any manner.)
