Here are the instructions from wild man Sammy V. (thanks Sam)
GOOGLE TALK
Here's the dealio...
1) Do you have a gmail account (google's email)? If yes go to #2. If not, you must give me your current email address so I can send you an invite.
2) Go to http://talk.google.com and download the client. Install it. It's easy. It's simple. It rocks.
3) Invite me as one of your friends: vance.sam@gmail.com
Once you've done that we can have a voice conversation, or conference call with everyone. Works like Skype....voice over ip (VoIP)

OK. My email is tamarafugate@gmail.com. Add me.
Hey, Sam... I figure I need to buy some form of microphone, right? Any suggestions, IT-man?
Yeah Sam... you never did answer my mic question!
If you are using a laptop most have mics in them. Otherwise you will need to pickup a cheap mic at walmart, office depot, staples, etc.
We need to test a conversation with each person before the call.
By the way, 9PM is impossible for me. I won't be home from church until 10.
My gmail address is josiah2fl@gmail.com.
Should we start without Sam, or hold off until 10pm. I'm cool either way. Sam, what do you think?
Microphones:
I would suggest a mic built in to a headset. It limits your potential for feedback and makes you feel like you are working customer service for some huge company.
PS: Are you still a wild man Sam?
I'm good either way just know that Tam, Kate and I will probably be distracted due to LOST starting back up Wens night :) Can't wait to talk to ya'll! :)
Hey guys, Josiah is right. The best is a headset.
9PM: You can guys can do it without me if that is best for everyone. I would try to leave church earlier but I am ministering Wednesday night and am committed to be there late, most likely. You know how Penetecostal/Charismatic/Full Gospel people are...they don't leave church until late. Revivals are really tough on school nights!
Well lets see, "Am I wild?" Answer: When I can be. Mostly when I am like that I embarrass my wife and she wants nothing to do with me. You know you have grown beyond too much foolishness when your 6 year old (Gabby) rolls her eyes at you because she thinks you are acting stupid. I guess that is one reason I work with teens: 1) They stay up late (check) 2) They are usually wild.
I guess with more responsibility you get more stressed out which= being more serious. I am known at work as the IT guy that fixes stuff. When 90% of your day consists of people complaining that something isn't working (handling support issues) you tend to be less goofy and more focused on trying to keep your head above water.
People liken us to firefighters that set the fires. They think I am constantly messing things up so that people are reliant on me to fix stuff (not true).
At home it's like "Wrestlemania". All the kids (all 3 of them) want to do is destroy Dad. So every night I come home it's clear. Mission: Hurt Dad. Jump on him while he is in the floor watching the news. Walk up and bust him in the back as hard as you can. Take the rubber spatula and bust dad with it. Give Dad that death choke hold and see if he can stand up. Hey why not? It's fun and Dad likes it, right? That to me is the definition of wild now. And yes, I have been hurt, one time pretty badly. The kids basically cannon-balled right on my vertebrae without me seeing them coming. Yep, 80 lbs of weight with bony knees cracking into my back from a 3 foot fall. That was fun. I walked around hunched over for about 3 hours after that. I was hurt. That brought the wrath of Dad. I was like, "Come on kids! That's just too much for Daddy. You've got to be easy on Daddy." Who'da thought? Sam's kids being wild? No way. Mom used to say, "I hope you have 3 just like you" (literally).
Wow, Sammy, you're an IT guru? So, you're who I curse under my breath every time my computer freezes! Just joking... I don't curse under my breath, I just kick the CPU! I never would have guessed IT for you! Then again, 10 years ago I never would have guessed that I'd be doing what I am and loving it as much as I do. I can't wait to see everyone and catch up and hear about everything you're into! Yay!
If we start at 9 without Sammy, does someone know how to get it all started???
Ha! When Sam was first married and had his first little girl, I was concerned that he'd TOTALLY lost his sense of humor. My husband, Joe, had taken Isabella's arms (the baby) and was moving them like a rapper (which was funny because she was asleep and looked so peaceful). Joe & I thought it was hilarious, but from across the room we heard this large booming voice, "Hey! DON'T TOUCH MY KID!"
I thought, Oh, my gosh. He's lost it. He's not funny anymore.
Ha! Ha! Oh well, I think after the 2nd kid, he loosened up a bit.
They are every bit as wild as he says, and every bit as loveable as kids can be too! :)
