I kept saying that I was going to
get a “smart phone” this fall. But I did
not specify exactly when “fall” was going to arrive.
Not to worry – my friend did it
for me.
She bought a new iPhone and
GAVE me her old one! So, no more excuses - it was sink or swim.
The phone sat about a week (much
to my daughter’s chagrin) before I finally went to Verizon and had it
activated.
I was so worried about texting
that that’s all I did. So, when my phone actually rang and I had to answer it, I had no idea what to do! (Yes, this IS a true story).

| Help! The phone's ringing!!!!! |
Well, I’ve gotten over
that and have graduated to being able to take photos (including "selfies") and get them transferred
to my computer (via email, but, hey, whatever works – I’m learning!).
I can even change settings and add
people to my contact list.
Sometimes.
Other times I add them and they just
disappear.
My daughter and my friend’s
daughter have become my “phone gurus”!
Speaking of daughters - my
daughter convinced me that I would drop my phone at any moment and it would
shatter into smithereens – even though my friend had it for 2 years before and
it was in excellent shape. So . . . .
I purchased an OtterBox to protect
it.

| The phone - totally protected from any catastrophe known to man. (Not even the Ebola virus could figure out how to get into this thing.) |
I was thrilled when it came, but
then could not figure out how to get the phone into the box! I waited until my daughter could come over and
take a look at it. Turns out she
couldn’t figure it out either but went to the internet on her phone (something
I have not yet graduated to doing!) and watched a video.
It’s pretty bad when you not only
have a phone that is smarter than you are, but a box to store it in that is
smarter, too!
Now my phone is totally protected
from splashes, crashes, spills and all manner of other ills.
Wish I was!ps - my husband hates this photo - guess he doesn't get the humor!

Ah Deb - you got me laughing at this post. I didn't even know what selfies were until just recently. As for the cell phone-smart phone - don't own one - maybe someday - but then again maybe not. Especially after reading your post about the box to store it in. (LOL) - Thanks for making my day - have a great one.
ROFLMAO!!! (And if you don't know what that means, Deb, ask your daughter! ha ha). Isn't it awful that we are getting older and less tech savvy by the minute?!?!?
hilarious. I feel the same way about my phone and phone box.
Debbie - I was you 2 weeks ago! The phone constantly amazes me! I'm like a kid in a candy store.
Rhonda - I DO know what that means, so there!!!
Carol - I feel your pain!!!
Deb, this is hilarious ... and the selfie says it all! I had a smart phone for about a week; all I managed to do was import and then erase all my contacts.
I predict that soon enough you'll be totally enamored and dependent!
It constantly amazes me! For some reason I'm enamored with the flashlight - that totally blows my mind!!! Maybe after a while I'll get the hang of all of it - and then they will make modifications and I'll be back to square one!
I adore your selfie!!!! Hahahaha.
I have resisted a smart phone since I am totally enamoured of my iPad and I cannot imagine having ANOTHER device.
I love the amazing cover!
Hi Ginny! My husband hates this photo - guess he doesn't get the humor!
