How to salvage a wet cell phone:
1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN IT ON-this could end up short circuiting it, and then you're really screwed.
2. Remove the battery and wipe it dry-I've read that most batteries are constructed so that they are pretty water resistant (but not proof!)
3. Wipe off & shake as much water out of the cell phone as possible, then use low-level heat to dry the remaining drops of water inside the cell phone-I used a hairdryer on the lowest possible setting, but I've read a lot of sites that don't recommend doing this. If you're skeptical, skip straight to the next step.
4. Place the cell phone to dry for a day in a bowl of rice-yes that's right-rice! Uncooked rice can supposedly absorb moisture well, so turn the phone on its side and submerge it in some dry rice.
Only after you're pretty sure the phone is dry should you attempt to turn the phone back on.
OTHER STUFF
- I am totally not attending my high school reunion. Seeing only a few people and having them compare who has accomplished more in the past 8 years (ie - who has the bigger dick?) makes me want to hurl. I don't even remember who the hell you are, WHY are you bragging to me about what you've done and telling me that I should do what you've done with your so-called life? Ick ick ick.
- Birthday was fun - most people mistook the date & thought it'd be NEXT Friday instead of this past Friday and so it was a smaller crowd this year, which was PERFECT. I wasn't really feeling terribly social (as if that's different from normal??). Next weekend - bbq :)
- I have a new perspective on luck, but I will write about that next time. TIME TO SLEEP. :)
