110 Degrees and a Hot Phone



















Good Grief it's HOT!! I Know I love Summer, but this is a little Too hot!! Heat index: 110 !!! My poor plants are withering and the tomato plants produced...Nothing!! That's a never. I see on the weather map that there may just be a storm headed our way from the Gulf of Mexico....We are SO ready for it. Hopefully it'll cool things off a bit.

Well, the technology bug bit me again! Samsung's "Instinct" touch phone. My Smartphone...??? Can't See The Lettering without my reading glasses...GADS!!! Sliding keypads are Not for me. Those buttons are just too small as well! Can't tell you how many calls I've missed or messages I can't find!! I'm tired of trying to be a computer whiz kid...The KID in the store just looked at me politely as I stood there explaining (whining) why I didn't like my present cell phone...LOL...Should have seen his face! I then just stopped talking and decided to cut to the chase...I asked if they had a phone for "old" people...."Oh Yes mam...step over here"....The "Instinct" was calling my name. One finger navigation..."I'll take it"....It Is cool....Just move your thumb all Over the face of it. Takes you where you want to go!   I left the store a happy camper. NO Guessing!   Well, that's about it for today...Hope you're staying cool OR warm where Ever you are and I'll talk at 'cha tomorrow!

Oh, boy, I'd better be checking the weather, I hope we won't be driving across Kansas in a storm. It seems we can't ever go through there without some kind of wierd weather.
That phone looks pretty cool, ma'am. But it sure doesn't look like something for old people!

Hi Donna, we will get that Tropical Storm Edouard will pay us a visit tomorrow around noon. We live north-west of Conroe by Lake Conroe (not on the lake).
I watch the tracks on Wunderground Weather,
Tropical Storm Edouard

Thank you for peeking at Ask Dr. Jim (blog), I post more often on JIM'S LITTLE BLOG and JIM'S LITTLE PHOTO PLACE. That Photo Place will do Wordless Wednesday tomorrow. The two overlap a little.

We have rain!! (AGAIN!!!!) ~ Our summer so far has consisted of a week of sun ~ then the rain came back!! YUCK!!!
Your new phone looks great ~ I love the idea of using the screen instead of lots of buttons!! I have not seen it over here in the UK but I will have to check it out!!
Hope you are well.
love and hugs XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oh, poor you! It is not good when it is SO hot! You must be careful,go to the shadow. And remember to drink a lot of water!
And the mobile telephone,- it is too hot for that thing too....

Thank you for kind comment to me. And I am so glad that the translator works.

I like your phone. I recently got a iPod Touch, and although it's not a phone I have all my info in it like phone numbers, notes, and a calendar. It took the place of a calendar and a address book in my purse with about 1/8 the room! I love it! Hope you get cooler weather soon.

The weather forecast keeps saying we're getting rain, but we're NOT! I hope for both of us we get something decent soon.

I'm not particularly old and I have a hard time seeing tiny buttons. My best friend brought over her blackberry to show me and I couldn't hardly see the buttons, let alone touch one at a time!

Dawn said...

I love your Instinct phone. They are just not for old people. I guess it's determined to what is old!! haha LOL

It is so hot here. It is 98 with a heat index of 103. I know there are hotter places than my space. But it sure feels hot to me!!

Have a great day and playing with your phone. Love you!

Hi Donna,

I've seen that phone. My sister in law's boyfriend has it and it is cool. You are like me, I love gadgets, I really do. I've been thinking of getting a new phone too. It rained here all morning, we really needed it and it was a good rain. I like a good summer thunderstorm sometimes. Have a good evening. I'm babysitting the newest one while everyone goes to the ballgame. Poor doll baby has terrible gas pains today. Wish me luck in keeping her happy. LOL

Donna said...

I have the itouch and love it! Don't have a phone like it, but maybe someday. I want to wear out the phones we got now, LOL! Heck they are only 4 years old.

Have fun with your new toy. About time that they have cool stuff for old farts like us, huh?!
