I will never laugh at anyone who drops their phone in the tub again.

We have all heard the stories. Smartphones being dropped, smashed, run over with the car. Dropped in the tub or toilet! I have always thought how careless! I am very aware at all times and go to lengths to assure the integrity of my personal belongings...

      But I had to load up a new phone today. I both lost and destroyed mine in an instant of carelessness. 

I didn't smash it or drop it in the tub or toilet. God forbid. I know exactly where it is too! It is (or was) still powered up in it's resting place. It had a very soft landing too but I am not going to attempt a recovery.

        Years ago on Christmas eve, our sewage system backed up and completely stopped. It was awful. Just one of those things. I had to dig and intercept the pipe in the frozen ground. We have a septic type system with a tank, and I had to figure out where it went in and out as well there. After that situation, I modified the tank entrance for easy access when things "stop".

Today they did. As I was working on this MY phone saw fit to enter the abyss. Like a high tech Titanic it gently sunk down into the muck forever. Can you hear me now ? Nope....It made for a "crappy" day but I got a replacement up and running pretty quick.

       I will never lambaste anyone for dropping theirs in the tub or toilet again.. I topped that today. Perhaps bottomed would be a better word.

         Before I transferred my number to the new hardware I did do a little experiment. I went out with the cordless phone and placed a call to the submarine phone just to see If it would ring. Alas no... No one to answer down there anyways.
