Day 309 ~ Optical Illusions on my phone

looks cool

Pamela sent me this pic to my phone, saying I should have the teens do this during a photo scavenger hunt. That's a good idea.

See you tomorrow.

Day 127 ~ A Very Short Monopoly Game!

A Classic Family Game

We decided to play monopoly last night, which is rare for me because I have such a short attention span.  We were twenty minutes into the game when Karen couldn't find her phone. She was afraid that she might have dropped it in the parking lot of Wendy's so we had to end the game short and go look for the phone. After driving down there, we discovered the phone had not fallen in the parking lot as we feared, nor had it been thrown into the garbage (Yes, I did check) but was in the car all along- stuck between the folds of the sun visor. 

So the game was short but we are happy we found the phone. The game is still set up so we can finish it today, hopefully.

See you tomorrow.

Day 83 ~ Yes, I got a new phone!

my camel

Yesterday, I went to Walmart and got the Brightside phone I blogged about on Day 76 (see it here).

The phone takes some getting used to but I primarily upgraded because of it having a better picture quality. Can you see the difference?  The first picture I took was in the parking lot of Walmart (Yes, while the car was parked; no driving and picture taking for me, thank you) .

This phone also takes videos but, as you can see they aren't very good....I don't think I will be using them to produce and feature films. :)

I took this video at the supermarket while I waited on line to get checked out. 

See you tomorrow!

Day 76 ~ Maybe getting a New Phone!

The Samsung Brightside

I might  upgrade to the Samsung Brightside which actually has a better camera than the phone I use now.  (my current phone is 2 MP verses the 3.2 MP of the Brightside). I did some research and the negatives about this phone is some say the voice quality isn't the best and even though it has a video cam, that is absolutely horrible. Well, that's okay, since the name of my blog is My Daily Phone Pic not My Daily Phone Vid.  What I like about the phone is it is NOT a smart phone and doesn't require an monthly data package. I don't think I will ever get a smart phone because  if I did, I'd be on the internet all day long and never get any work done!

The Walmart Special

The only reason I am considering the upgrade at all is it is only 97cents at Walmart (plus a two year commitment to Verizon Wireless) and if I don't like the phone I can return it in 15 days. Sounds like it's worth a shot.

The only problem is that both Walmarts near my neighborhood have been out of stock and don't know when Verizon will send more phones.  I guess I have to be patient.!

See you tomorrow!
