So, as I mentioned earlier, we got iPhones and have joined many of you in the 21st century. Carlos uses his quite a bit, for work, for calling Mexico; I use mine slightly more than I used my old phone.
Still … Carlos. When we were buying them, we told the salesperson about his vision issues and so on and she showed him things he can do, and use, on the phone to make things easier. She spent a great deal of time with Carlos, and me, and was very kind and funny, so I went on Google reviews and gave her a glowing report.
Then Carlos, deciding he doesn’t need to take things slow, even on a new phone that he doesn’t entirely know how to use, deleted several icons from the screen because he wanted to streamline the screen. But, he deleted the icon used to get on the internet and so back to the store we went. There were a few people ahead of us in line, so we stood and waited; the woman who helped us buying the phones, was at the counter and waved and said Hello, and I said:
“He’s already messed up his phone.”
She replied:
“Oh, nooooo.”
But then she fixed it and told him not to do that again. All was well until …
Carlos was reading an email and it was small and hard for him; so, I took the phone and enlarged the image so he could see it, but with it enlarged, he had to scroll back and forth,. So, I took the phone again and turned it sideways and the email flipped sideways and was easier to read. Carlos started at it in amazement and said:
“Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
My little man is growing up,

ReplyDeleteDH will tell you that you occasionally
have to use colorful language to make
an iphone work.
take care, xoxo :-)
LMAOOOOO @ that Twitter cap! Love it.
ReplyDeleteNow, the idea of cheeto prepping for anything is ludicrous. That boorish oaf has no mental capacity for anything he ad-libs everything. It’ll be a joy watching uncle joe skin him.
Falwell now will have more time to oversee the pool boy, no?
And I feel Carlos. Yesterday I was trying to figure out a Samsung phone and it took me half an hour to find the menu I needed. I ended up on YouTube following a tutorial. Technology.
Now, concerning Mr. Gould, I can think of ways to get him wet while holding that bottle away from his fantastic body.
XoXo
"Tangerine overlord," LOL!
ReplyDeletejay gould - oh yum!
ReplyDeleteright on, tuxedo!
krispy kreme to dump: "read this sentence." dump: "uhhhhhhhhhh..."
falwell and dismukes - 2 pieces of xstain white male ignorant racist anti-everything shit!
I take it that Chris (Christ he's fat) Christie isn't shielding, although a bloke of his size ought to be damn worried about catching Covid-19. It could be fatal.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. It put a smile on my face the whole way through. Carlos needs to be careful as he uses his iphone!
ReplyDeleteThat twitter response was priceless. Tangerine overlord!
And the guy at the end? A great dessert to a great post!
@TDM
ReplyDeleteCarlos tries the colorful language from the jump!
@Six
I never thought of sending Carlos to YouTube for iPhone lessons!!
@Debra
That was good,right?
@AM
Jay Gould gets my motor humming!
@Helen
I just don't know what they think Christie has to make him any kind of debate perp person.
@Michael
Carlos' one flaw is that he has little patienece for checking something out before using it! And Jay Gould is a feat .....
Ha, I love your Carlos stories!!! And I can't wait to watch Kamala Harris in action in debating Pence too!
ReplyDeleteAh, Carlos (Ah, San Geraldo). Yes indeed. (Although San Geraldo would never dare remove anything. His iMac desktop has layer upon layer (upon layer upon layer upon...) of icons. The entire screen. I used his computer when mine was reinstalling the operating system. I had a nervous breakdow; I was released yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIphones... dear lord.
ReplyDeleteChristie's helping because he's a bit dimwitted and loves fast food.
I don't doubt that Dismukes will end up being dismissed.
Jay Gould... pretty... empty. Check this out.
