^^I was scared shitless my first time. Take your time.

And you may decide not to do calls. Some baiters here don't feel they are necessary and they have never received or made a call.

When you're ready, you'll know. I still need to drink a few beers before I call a lad. Of course, I call them late at night Smile

Before making your call have a few notes in front of you to stay focused on the issue at hand..........and not ramble or allow them to get you off the topic you want to discuss.

^^^good point. And if you give our your number to multiple lads, keep a word file on your desktop with quick notes about what lad has what number and for what character. And most importantly--what HIS number is.

That's the part I hate the most.. I try to remember to add lads to my contacts but I'mt good at remembering to do it Crying or Very sad

Even when get a call from a lad I programed it usualy takes me longer to think about who I'm supposed to be than there are rings.

^^^I hate it too. I sometimes have so many baits going that my brain freezes when Skype rings.

One night I had Skype and VoxOx running. I was talking to a lad,and suddenly VoxOx started ringing. I spilled my can of Budweiser scrambling around trying to quit VoxOx,while talking to my lad on Skype.

I guess I prefer to call lads and then have them call me back immediately. I don't like surprise calls.

Or if I expect it around a certain time, I can be ready. But when lads start calling unexpected it makes it tough.

^^^ Brain freeze or Bud (beer) freeze? Wink

^^both. I'm talking to my lad and stuff, and then VoxOx started ringing. And it rings LOUD on the computer. I had it in the background because I had word open with my notes and it was hidden behind that window. I'm trying to get to it, the damn VoxOx is ringing away very loudly, and he's suddenly asking what that noise is.

It's funny when I think back, but a the time I was in full panic mode.

Since you also use Voxox perhaps you can answer a question for me. I am able to record the call (using the Voxox software on my pc) and I am able to listen to the recorded call but how can I download it to my pc so I can save it and share with the class Razz

Im waiting for my first call, he has a mobile fone number, but as i have several old nasty mobiles and several un-registered sim cards i get free everytime i upgrade my RL fone number im completely anonymous. Spare sims are the way forward Very Happy

@lespa:

I use Audacity, as I think you need a separate recorder to save to your computer. It's free.

So long as you have a microphone and speakers (most computers have built-in lines I think), you just hit record, then play the message. Export the file from Audacity as an MP3 and host it.
