********************
This week's Photo Hunt (hosted by TNChick) theme is plastic and initially I was pretty flummoxed on what to use for a picture. I was pretty sure there weren't any pictures of plastic in my files and I couldn't think of much around the house that was worth taking a picture of.Then it dawned on me that perhaps I could use the picture of Amanda's broken cell phone that she had taken a couple of weeks ago because they part that was broken was made of plastic. Perfect!
How - you might ask - did her phone end up in this sorry state of disrepair? Well, let's put it this way ... when you glomp your mother at a concert and land on your phone in addition to your mother in a pile on the hard ground, this is what happens!
Happy Photo Hunting and have a fantastic weekend!
Note: For those NOT familiar with the term, Glomping is a form of greeting used mainly among Anime fans. A typical "glomp" involves bear hugging someone, tackling them, and latching on tightly, though not enough to intentionally hurt the recipient. Perhaps I should add that it's not a good idea to have your cell phone in your pocket when you land on top of the person you have glomped! This phone eventually broke in half completely, despite the best efforts of duct tape, and Amanda now has a new phone that she likes much, much better. I, on the other hand, am still stuck with my old LG phone as we used my upgrade to get her a new one!
Good choice - nice take on plastic! It shouldn't be hard to find since everything is plastic these days, but I had the same dilemna!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute. Putting two phones together like that. Funny, ha ha!
ReplyDeletethis is toy phone, right. Look real ..
ReplyDeleteI thought it's real..lol Nice entry!
ReplyDeleteSorry 'bout the broke phone but at least it came in handy for the theme this week =)
ReplyDeleteWeird. You are the third person I know that has had the same problem with the exact same phone! hmmmm
ReplyDeleteGood choice for the theme!
I always said glomping could do nothing but cause trouble... *sigh*... poor phone.
ReplyDeleteThis was really good!! Thanks for your visit over at my blog! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, dear! I think they make these things out of plastic on purpose because they know they will get broken and we will have to buy a new one. Hope you enjoyed the concert anyway! =)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I've broken a number of phones, too! They never last!
ReplyDeleteWe really love our plastic don't we???
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend...
I think my problem was... there is so much plastic, what should I put up for this theme. Well..check it out if you wish. Have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! It's hard to live with a broken cell phone!!
ReplyDeletesigh...broken cell phones. ARGH!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, poor cellphone. What happened to it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Heehee.... Looks like it is time to get a new phone (= Have a fun day!
ReplyDeleteWell, a little duct tape will fix that problem! lol. Hope she had a good time at the concert. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, still covered with warranty or it cant't be fixed anymore? pity. :)
ReplyDeleteAw bummer about the phone. Great photo for The Hunt though. :0)
ReplyDeleteNow if someone could "glomp" the Verizon spokesman..."Can you hear me now?"
ReplyDeleteOops! One broken phone. I guess the plastic parts aren't all that sturdy. Nice choice for this week's Hunt. :)
ReplyDeleteMy plastic Photo Hunt.
Uh Oh...*shakes her head*
ReplyDeleteLet this be a lesson to you Amanda!
;)
That is a good choice for plastic. One last use!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed the part of the story where Amanda broke her cell phone!!
Too funny!
I couldn't think of anything plastic in my files, and was/am in such a foul mood that I didn't feel like getting out my camera.
ReplyDeleteSo just posted some eye candy pics instead.
Hope your weekend is more cheery than mine.
love ya,
mo
I thought your phone was broken, two funny
ReplyDeleteVery creative take on the theme, Linda!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
poor amanda...
ReplyDeletesmiles, bee
Hi Linda. Sorry about that broken phone. Hope it can still be fixed.
ReplyDeleteI followed the link and I'm glad that Amanda had the lovely opportunity meeting some of the artists.
Thanks for visiting.
Thanks for coming by my photo hunt today! Your daughters phone was the perfect choice for this weeks theme! Has she gotten an ew one yet? lol..with a broken phone, its like a broken arm these days!
ReplyDeleteand how we depend on those little plastic encased phones!
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cute blog here- glad I followed someone else's comment links and found you!
Is there a technical definition for "Glomp"
ReplyDeleteYour broken cell phone was more exciting than Mr Bankerchick's, it fell into the toilet! He now has the cheapest one he could get and actually likes it more than the ones with bells and whistles.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would like to know what exactly is a glomp? Inquiring minds and all that....
ReplyDeleteNice shot, although I too am curious about glmp! Happy weekend
ReplyDeletevery neat photos. Check my entry too if u have time. TC
ReplyDeleteGood choice of photo! Mine is up too. Hope you can visit me :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGlomping , interesting. Cell phones are a bane on the world, at least the prices are.
ReplyDeleteYep plastic is everywhere these days - quite a good invention I guess!! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. That's something that would happen to my hubby.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great mom to give up your upgrade.
Have a wonderful weekend.
That is a great take on the plastic theme! Sounds like you had a great time at the concert!
ReplyDeleteYour FL furiends,
As long as we enjoy being hug, who cares about the handphone? :P
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I bet she will be more careful when glomping in the future!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of glomping before but I love stories behind a picture!
ReplyDeleteI have the oldest cell phone in the family...everybody gets the new technology but mom *sigh*
Happy weekend!
