I've heard that one also uncooked rice will work. Have never had to try that but did try to wash my phone with my cloths and it took awhile to dry out then it quit just as I was phoning relatives to announce the arrivial of a new baby to the family. That was almost 6 yrs ago and about 2 yrs ago bought an iPhone to use on the net when I do not have my laptop with me.

I was told to put a wet phone in a sealed bag of rice. It worked the first time, the second time was just to much. I was wondering how you were doing, just thought you were having so much fun, you didn't have time to get on-line. Did you ever get the FW table?? You haven't missed much here except for the giant skeeters.

A few days later, it fell out of my pocket, into the river. . .no insurance. . .3 days later, still not dry and not working. . .went back to AT&T and updated my second phone for another $100 (added insurance and a special water resistant holder for another $50). A couple of days later, my old laptop died with absolutely no warning!! Another one hour trip to the big city to buy a new laptop-what an expensive summer this has been!!!! But-I'm back on line!!!!

The real issue is regular status, right? I'm wondering why and who decided comments constituted regular status. I check this board every day and enjoy checking it out, but I don't always comment if I can't add a comment that hasn't already been expressed. It seems often you read through redundant comments that just take up a lot of time, time better spent quilting. I would like to see it based on how long you have been a board member.

I agree! Why do you have to comment on everything you read to become a regular?? It takes too much time when you want to sew and quilt! Not fair that you have to have a title!

Welcome back, kind of expensive for u for sure....we are all worth it though right.......sorry u loss your status, I think u need to let them know what transpired and mayb u can get it back, ask a moderator

Sounds like things have really been rough....hope it gets better and stays that way. :D

What a story!

I lost mine because I went back to work. Not nearly as eventful.

you know these things run in 3's so hopefully you are on the mend for some good luck.
