Lessons from the Weekend

Hey! Did you know that if you happen to completely submerge your cell phone in water- say, just for a random example, by flipping out of a canoe while the phone is in your pocket- you can take the phone apart, put it in a bag of rice, and it may SORT of come back to life? With a weird upside down, funkily colored screen that reads backwards, but that the nice cell phone store people can hopefully at least extract the contact list from?

Now you know. Bag of rice.

And also! Maybe next time keep your phone in a plastic bag when BOATING, you genius. Just a thought.

My sister did this to my phone once. She tried to answer it while getting a pedicure and dropped it in the little jacuzzi tub that her feet were soaking in. Two days in a bag of rice and it was completely fine again. I was lucky.

Oops. Glad you are ok! Hope the rest of the weekend was fun!

The rice works best if you remove the battery from the phone and let them both dry out in a bag of rice.

Anonymous- yep, already did it! Based on what Jess said, i think maybe I didn't leave it in the rice long enough. It's only been since last night around six, so maybe it needs a little longer.
