OT ~ iphone ad

for the iphone open with a picture of a
waterlily. May not be able to afford one
of those fancy phones but I do have the
real thing in my pond!

I'm thinking, are we sure it is a lotus?
You have started me on a mission...!
And I dragged youngest son in too.
We went and found the flower and by golly,
I think we have a conumdrum
It does look like a lotus.
But it is down on the water.
Just a bit raised, actually, which made
me think it might be a tropical lily.
But not a lotus as they always are way
above the water....? Like their leaves.
And then we started thinking - this is the
advertising world! Since when do they bother
with the truth? They might just have photo
shopped in a lotus close to the water as it
looks so pretty.
I did find a bunch of funny utube snippets
about iphone.

This one is so on if you live surrounded by
teenage - 20ish males as I do from time to time.
Be warned it is rather raw.

Hard to say, but you are right, lotus would be more out of the water.

That's okay - I never grew up.

Looks like a lily to me, but not really enough context for a good ID. The
only visible leaves appear to be on the water surface, though.

the $600+ and buy one and study it up
close but I'd rather spend that money on
a new deck - all the better to view the pond
with - where I have real lilies. (Lotus, much
to my chagrin, is a plant that will not cooperate
with me!)

Just read in the paper today how many of the phones were purchased to tear
them apart and see what makes them tick. Who would have thought that the
child who takes everything apart, would grow up with a job to take
everything apart. ;-) ~ jan

Getting new cell phones but, alas, not
iphones. Youngest son is going with me
to be the consultant on which phones to
buy.

Key #1: understanding the difference between GSM vs CDMA networks. There
are advantages and disadvantages to both. That is, unless you are
already locked into a particular cell phone provider.
