The "Oh, Crap!" Moment

But I didn't say "crap."
And I know who the culprit is.
It was the one who didn't say "crap."
Ah, crap.

    I did this once...and it wasn't even my phone.

    And it did dry out, and it worked afterwards.

    Cue the choir of angels...

    Take it apart and submerse everything in uncooked rice...I've seen it work. It supposedly draws the water out. Good luck!

    Crap would have been the last choice of words had this been me.

    I can safely say - haven't done this one yet. Dropped mine a million times yes - but no water submersion.....yet.

    Maybe it will dry out. We put our wet phones in a can of rice for a day or so. Some have actually worked again.

    I'm BIG on pocket checking. I'm terrified of doing this very same thing because I am sure my kids don't think to clean out pockets before putting clothes in the hamper.

    I hope the phone still works. It's possible. Maybe?

    Rice is your only hope. Once, it took a phone of ours a whole month to dry out after it fell into a certain circular water repository (clean) that we have in out home. My experience is that the washer is particularly tough on electronics, but my fingers are crossed for you. And I am sure that I would have used socially unacceptable language.

    I did that to Jarin's i-pod. The kids KNOW I don't check pockets - it's a job I refused a long time ago. I put it out in the hot hot hot garage for three days and it resurrected. hmmm.... coincidence? I think not.

Pioneer Trek

Utah was founded by the Mormon pioneers in 1847 after enduring unimaginable losses and seeking a place of peace. July 24th marks the anniversary that the first wagon trains arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Their numbers were greatly diminished by crossing the country in wagons and handcarts, dying of scurvy, tuberculous, malaria, starvation, unidentified fevers, and freezing to death. This, they found preferable to facing the extermination order put forth by Governor Boggs of Missouri. I believe this is the most courageous act of faith - to leave all they had that was familiar and travel the rough terrain in the unknown in search of a place where they could worship in peace. My daughters left this morning for a small re-creation of what the pioneers experienced. I don't love the idea since I know so many of the pioneers died but it is a way for many of the youth to connect to their ancestors and understand what many of the early members endured for their faith. The youth were asked...

How To Be A Dedicated Neurotic

Going through old files from graduate school, I found an invaluable pamphlet. Be a Dedicated Neurotic Remember the Past. . . and Regret it. Abhor the Present. Dread the Future. 1. Become preoccupied with the body, and make a long list of symptoms. Make them sound very clinical and professional... 2. BLAME your boss, your spouse, your partner, your neighbor, your kid. THEY are responsible for your miseries. 3. Feel trapped. You couldn't possibly declare your own independence without hurting someone's feelings. 4. Overeat. Rationalize and eat! Eat an insulated wall around yourself. Diet for a few days and say it doesn't work for you. 5. Self-pity. No matter what, feel sorry for yourself. Agonize over things about which no one cares. 6. Don't ever try. That way nobody can really accuse you of failure. You can always say, "But I could have done it." 7. Stress how shy you are. Insist that the world must come to you. You're special. 8. Your agg...

Flu

The flu has been making its way through our family.  The first to be hit was the 15 year old.  She was very, very angry.  At me.  She had been begging for the flu shot for the past three months.  I kept forgetting.  She got better but it's one more thing to discuss on her future therapist's couch. Today I picked up my 5 year old from school.  He told me about making valentine's for his friends and how he gave his valentine to his best friend, Chase.  Chase is the little boy who grabbed my scarf on my way to my car today, looked at me earnestly and yelled his telephone number to me so fast I couldn't process it then ran away. "Today I felt so sick." "Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" "I told Teacher but she didn't call you." "What did you say?" "I told her my head hurt and I felt dizzy." "What did she say?" "She told me I wasn't sick." I took mental note to talk to his teacher about c...
