  I like to blog about my friend Diane and her 5 boys (2 sets of twins)
  whenever I get the chance.  She’s an inspiration to moms everywhere and
  a personal hero of mine!

  You missed quite a sight this weekend!  While attending Jaden’s baseball tournament in the lovely, resort town of Pasco, WA, my darling son, Cole, proceeded to run and jump into the deep end of the pool, thinking it was the shallow end.   Being that no one else was swimming, this Mommy instinctually jumped in to save him…clothes, shoes, cell phone and all!  All the while as the parents and coaches watched in shock (& hysteria I’m sure).  Wet t-shirt contest post 5 kids…NOT a good look I assure you!    Never EVER a dull moment when the our gang is around!   Needless to say, my phone is toast and I need all of your contact numbers again…home, cell, work, etc.   Thanks,   Diane

  OMG, you’re a hero   I want pictures!!
  In the meantime, remember this from last year?

  The other day, while
  cleaning my bathroom with my phone in the pocket of my hooded
  sweatshirt, the damn phone fell in the toilet (it
  was a fresh  bowl).    I went online to see if there was anything
  to do without having to buy a new damn phone.  Turns out the
  phone companies have this big conspiracy when the phones get
  wet. They know about water damage because there’s a paper
  dot on inside the phone or on the battery that turns red,  so they always make you buy a new
  phone (because water damage isn’t in the warranty).  BUT,
  several websites said something crazy:  If you take out the
  battery and the SIM card, and put the phone in the oven for 5
  hours at 125° it will dry it out.  I tried it, and
  lo and behold, it worked!  I still have that phone,
  and it’s like nothing ever happened.  The hardest part about
  the whole thing was trying to find the right wine to go with the phone
  .  Also found out the phone companies have big
  drying bins, ovens basically, where they dry out phones and
  resell them as refurbished!  Bastards.  Imagine how
  much money they rake in by making people buy new phones then
  reselling the wet ones.  I’m not sure if it works for every
  phone, and salt water might be a different story, but it worked for me
  (though some of my friends would rather not touch my phone, knowing
  where it’s been, LOL.

  you know what is so funny… i read that posting of yours when you posted it a year ago..i thought of it after my “incident” but i didn’t have an oven in the hotel.  anyway, my phone was a piece of shit so i needed a new one anyway.  what i didn’t realize was that i never saved my contacts to my sim card…only to the phone so i lost everything….ugghhh..unacceptable!   gly
