Saved by Rice!!


So most of you know that Josh's cell phone got dropped in the ocean when we were in Hawaii, it was only a few weeks old, i was pretty darn mad!! Well he has been able to get it to work for a short amount of time then it would freak out and stop working, or start calling people on it's own or something weird. He had to go back to his old cracked screened crappy phone, and was on our case constantly about getting a new one, which, with all the crap he has been pulling lately i was NOT giving in, not even for a second! Well the other day he came home from school and got our big ole Costco bag of rice out and started pouring some in a little baggie, not to mention all over the floor. I know he isn't going to make dinner, so i get after him, what are you doing? He said someone at school told him to put his cell phone in a bag of rice over night and it would totally dry out the inside of his phone, I was like whatever, cant hurt. So that night i looked it up online and found that other people were saying that this worked, so i was kind of excited to see the next day if it worked or not. Well IT WORKED!! He was one happy kid and so was I, I wasn't going to be tortured by the question, "when can i get a new phone" anymore!! Yea!! It has been about a week and the phone seems to be working fine! I have always loved rice, but now i have another reason to love it!! Thank you, Thank you!!

Just remember to pull the battery out of your phone as soon as it gets wet!! That is the main reason why phones die, they short out!

The same thing happened to Court except she dropped it in the tub! She has been driving me crazy about her phone. We tried the rice trick and no luck so far....

Well we were better prepared this time, the first time he dropped a phone into water was in the toliet and we didnt take the battery out right away, it didnt make it! live and learn. He was texting and peeing at the same time!! If we live threw this kid it will be a miracle!!
