I'm not finding anything yet that says it is possible. Skype will have to be the medium used but I just want to make sure.

The rest of my family has been using Skype for years and just recently asked me to switch everyone over to GChat instead...and it worked flawlessly. In fact the biggest test for us was broadcasting the wedding ceremony over Google hangouts...and we had 8 people watch it live since they could not make it. It was also not device specific, we had several people watching from their iPads, one using an iphone 4s, one using an apple TV, and others on their PCs.

Morning everyone!!! TGIF!!
Today starts the "kids weekends" that will span every weekend until Christmas...except for 3. One of those weekends my other half and I get a romantic weekend getaway, one is thanksgiving, and the other we will be going to Austin to find a house....woo hoo. Busy!!!!
Hope everyone has a great Friday!!

You might want to look into that for him as well.

also, "Romantic Getaway" sounds invigorating! The only thing i get to do these days with my significant other is drink her under the table
