Hello, May 2025, Goodbye Skype
4 months ago
Another month is upon us, which means warmer weather and Summer being just around the corner. I do hope and pray everyone has been staying safe with all the rain and other weather patterns we've been having, and I pray you all continue to stay safe
And here's a final reminder that Skype closes for good on May 5th. You can still export your contacts and chats ( https://secure.skype.com/en/data-export ) over to Microsoft Teams while there is still time. But for those who don't use Teams, there is still Discord, of course. I currently use both, so to any of my friends on here, if you want to add me, send me a note
Photo uploads and such will continue, too, as soon as I have the full strength again to do so. God bless, everyone!

Goodbye, Skype...It's been a fun 21 years. I'll miss you alongside AOL IM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! IM and all the other classic messengers of old. Thanks for the memories
