Mixed Emotions

Today is a day of mixed emotions.

Ya see, yesterday I did something you are NOT suppose to do with your
16gig white 4S iPhone ....

Wash it in the washing machine with your daughter's school uniforms
I'm sure you're not suppose to wash it in any clothes.

YUP, a FULL cycle.
Warm water. Detergent. Softener.
The WHOLE sha-bang a bang.

And wouldn't ya know it,
water damage is NOT covered under the warranty
AND there's a water sensor built into it so they would know if water was the cause
of the phone not going on.
DARN-IT!!!!!

So The Hubby and I scrambled looking on the internet to see if there was a way we could fix it.
I have only had the phone since the beginning of November, so not long.

We found that you can place it in a bowl of silica (which I did not have)
or dry rice (which I happen to have plenty of) and leave it for 48-72 hours.

SO, I'm crossing my fingers that it turns on on Thursday : /

Today however, I went to Moffitt Cancer Center for my check up
and I'm cancer free. I've hit my FIRST year.

YAY !!!!

Kicking cancer's butt and takin' names....

That's right sucka : )

How you doin'?

Phone-rice I know it's worked for others. Sure hope it works for you.
Jamie washed the hubs iphone right after they got married. Yikes! I don't think they even tried the rice. pretty sure he was ready for a new phone.

How wonderful is that? I am so happy for you. But the phone thing, I just recently did the same thing. But I didn't know about the silica or rice treatment. Hubby was not happy! Found you on Red Hen Home for the giveaway.

Do you see me jumping up and down applauding wildly and hear me simply yelling "Thank you, Jesus!" at the top of my old and tired lungs? I love that you are a year free! And I love your sale finds! especially the chair!
