iPhone Challenge and Lentil Soup

The new iPhone 5C is a challenge.  (For those of you who don't know me well - a challenge is one of my desired values).  So far I've learned that not all my contacts' phone numbers  transferred, so I use my rest breaks to get them in.  I still don't know how to text but did figure out how to make and receive calls.  Even tried using the mike to send a msg, but didn't send it somehow.  I'll like that if I can ever get it to work.  The Face time!  I HATE IT.  I accidentally see it sometimes on my MacPro but certainly not for long!  The last thing I enjoy these days is seeing my face on a screen.   Reminds me of the mirrors at the county fair when I was a child that distorted your shape into very fat or very thin or other grotesque appearances. …... I need to make another reservation for tutoring at the Apple Store.  Those guys are really good - except they try to teach too much in too little time and I have to say "Whoa - let me catch up."  But, I've gotten superb help there.  I know it took me a few weeks to learn to love my Kindle and my MacPro, so I'm counting on learning the iPhone too - eventually.  I do love the bright yellow color - I can see it now when it's lost - at least when it's on top.  Now all I need is some way to call it when it's concealed and have it answer me (like when it's in my purse or a coat pocket or better yet, when I've left it in the car)….Time to get the soup pots off the porch and peel away the fat layer, check seasoning, and cook some more.  I'm making  lentil soup from a recipe Bob first used back in the 60s when he began cooking. It has always been a winner, hope it is again for the Retreat tomorrow.
