Skype is an amazing kind of software that allows you to video chat with your friends and family. It has no cost. All you have to do is go to http://www.skype.com to register. There is another feature besides video chat, called I.M. (Instant Messaging). On Skype, you can edit your status picture (which tells people whether you are available or not). You can also make friends. Your friends are people that you can chat with. You can add friends by clicking on the new

contact option. You can also have a group conversation, although you can’t use the video chat feature with a group yet. I hope that Skype is a program you will consider installing. It is really worth it!!! Happy chatting!

Squinkies are little rubber toys that come in the shape of plastic balls. There are all kinds of them, including cats, people, turtles, and bunnies. The balls come in different colors, too. Squinkies don't do anything, but they're fun to play with. I named all of mine, and my cousin and I made a kingdom, where one of my cats was the queen. You can buy Squinkies at Target or Toys"R"Us. A set of 16 costs less than $5. Squinkies are squishy, colorful, and fun to play with.
