Do you feel the need to 'Get Ready' when you Skype?!! Good afternoon :) As some of you know, my son lives in Vienna - and he sometimes Skype's me instead of emailing or phoning me. But it bothers me - and I'm beginning to realise why - I feel I have to 'get ready'.....:D I never know quite where to look....I actually combed my hair last time :eek:...and sometimes I even clean the dining room (where my computer is) when I know he's going to call!!!! Do any of you feel like this - or is it just me? :rolleyes: Sally x |
LoL Well I don't Skype, but if I did I think I would be the same way!! Nothing wrong with it :D |
I don't Skype either but I would totally "set the stage" & call for "hair & make-up" prior to my production! |
Oh, it wouldn't just be me then....:D The other evening, I changed my sweater, and Andy said to me "Is Simon Skype-ing you this evening?" And I said "Yes, I was wearing this one last time".....:D And then I realised how totally nutty I sounded....!!! Sally x |
LOL I don't skype, but I do facetime with my mom with our iphones. I always clean up the house and get ready because she likes to watch the dogs run! I spend an hour cleaning for a 5 minute call LOL. |

Both my kids are on the other side of the State, away at college. They'll wanna skype late at night when I'm in my jammies, no make-up, hair tied up...looking quite the mess. They'll say, it doesn't matter, they don't care how I look, they just want to talk, and when I do skype looking like that, you can guarantee someone (roomate, roomate's friend, my kid's friend, etc.) will stop by and say "you you talking to?" To which they'll reply, "My Mum. Wanna say hi?" :eek: |
I "put my face on" (make-up), fix my hair and tidy the space if I know I am going to be skyping. If someone skypes me unexpectedly and I am not prepared to be seen, I just answer without video and blame my poor Internet connection. |

I "met" my DD's boyfriend's mother (who I went to high school with and haven't seen since) on Skype ~ I was not a happy camper :eek: |
Depends- with friends or extended family- YES! But when I skype with my mom or my sister- no |

Skype production.. lol ok.. I really love this forum.. Have just realised that i'm not completely nuts.... lol... Dad lives in Italy and mum in Brazil, so we practically communicates only via Skype and FaceTime, as they can see the grandson weekly in that way.. And as i know what time they will call, i always change from pjs to clothes, even if its sunday morning, and i would probably be on it until 12ish, when i would go out to walk Bella.. Do my hair up, and at least apply some concealer in my under eyes.. lol.. If they call me earlier than what i was expecting, if not "presentable" i have to miss the call and apologise afterwards... :eek::eek: Hubby thinks I'm completely nuts.. but I'm obviously not, or we are a big group !!:D:D Quote:

I hear what you folks are saying! My son is in the military, and usually in some time zone that is far removed from mine - so it is always one of this middle of the night or crack of dawn things when he wakes me up! I always wonder how "scary" I look. Some times I hardly remember the call it is such a strange time. But......I live for those Skype sessions:D |
Hahaha... When Ryan was gone for a year we have the camera's on our 55 inch TV's so he would see the entire living room so I had to make sure the room was leaned I was dressed with makeup and Guinness was brushed. |
That is just too funny |
I only do one thing to prepare for Skype: Wear a modest top (that has full coverage of cleavage) When I skype, I tend to lean forward towards the monitor and camera. When that happens, the other person can practically see down my shirt. That's embarrassing. I make sure my top covers everything, or button up higher on my shirt. :) |
I know the feeling when I was living abroad my mom would skype me around 6pm local time but for me it was already 1:00am! I would sit with my pj bottoms and a nice shirt! Just because she always had people over and do that look who is at the house and wants to say hi! When I would skype with my grandma I had to clean up for hours to make everything impeccable, do my hair, make-up, and paint my nails. (She is that old fashioned grandma that screams at me that no man would ever marry someone that has a messy house or appearance :rolleyes: ) |
