I hope you read the story of how my blog got its name. http://thefrickinchicken.blogspot.com/2009/03/beginnings.html My Mom used to always say Bread & Butter to me when walking around stuff too, but I had NO idea anyone else said that or where it came from! And we also do black eyed peas for New Years good luck. Hey DeeDee Thanks for the shout out!

And you totally had me at ham, fried okra and cornbread, but but the black-eyed peas, well, you know how I feel about those. My mom, who is retired, may be taking a temporary job in Oman. As in, the middle east. I have a feeling I'll be learning about skype soon enough. Thanks for the love!

When my now 9-year old learned to ride a two-wheeler braking was not a problem with her. She just pointed her handle bars at whatever item looked like it would stop a speeding freight train and plowed into it. Tell me more about this BlogHer stuff...please. *************************** <em>Virginia, I'm one of BlogHer's reviewers. Every once in a while they are able to get their reviewers involved in a campaign.

I have lived in the US for the past 14 years and it enables me to stay connected to my family in South Africa and my brother in the United Kingdom, as well as my friend who lives 45 minutes away!!!! How's that for diversity? And it's free!!!!! Have to love that! Also great for IM'ing- esp. when the person you are sending the message to isn't available but you had a question for them or just a shout out of love! (quicker than e-mail) And you can conference call!!! THank you, Lord for SKYPE! SKYE has been a blessing to our family for years!

The kids don't sleep well when he isn't there to say goodnight, so skyping with him before bed helps. We use skype whenever my husband is away on a business trip.
