An Unexpected Lesson and Thursday Favorite Thing link party
An Unexpected Lesson and Thursday Favorite Thing link party –
I posted on Facebook the other day that I had dropped my cell phone in the….toilet! That’s right I reached in without thinking to grab it ( please note the toilet had not been used yet) I dried it, sanitized it, and filled a bowl with rice to cover it. All to no avail, my cell phone was not able to be resuscitated. I have a new phone now, it is a Samsung J7. Why on earth do cell phones cost so much!! I had my cell phone in my back pocket, which I rarely do. But, lesson learned, do not put your cell phone in your pocket! Where do you keep your cell phone?

Sorry about your phone. The same thing happened to hubby’s but it fell in the pool. I dried and put it in rice also and did not work. Thanks for hosting!..Christine
Thanks for the featured post of When Seasons Change, God Does Not, Katherine! I’m honored! So many amazing writers and inspiration at this link-up–I’m so honored to be featured and pray hearts are comforted in my words!
Sorry about your cell phone, milady. Hope you got a nice upgrade for the price!
Joy!

Sorry to hear about your phone!!! I’m just waiting for a kid to smash mine hunting for Pokemon…..
Thank you for hosting today!

Wow, sorry about your phone! They do cost an arm and a leg.
Thank you so much for the linky Katie! 🙂 And sorry about your phone! 🙁
I dropped my phone into the toilet at work several years ago. It was ruined and I had to get a new one:( Hope you like your new phone. Thanks again for the party, which I am usually late to:(
Awww, I’m sorry. You need a waterproof cell phone case. My cell phone is getting old and needs to be replaced. I am not looking forward to that…they are expensive.
Sorry about your phone Katherine. These things always seem happen that one time we do something out of our usual routine don’t they?
Katherine- another fantastic turn out!
Thanks for hosting a great party!
Michelle
Lol, my daughter (also Katherine :)) did the same thing a few months ago…thankfully a day in rice saved the phone. I’m looking to get a new phone and the prices are ridiculous!
Thanks for hosting…haven’t blogged in a few months and happy to be back!
Oh Katherine, I recently dropped my phone in the toilet as well…because it was in my back pocket (which I rarely do), but I had just used the toilet and saw my phone in there as I was about to flush. Ugh! Gross! Fortunately I had invested in the $80 life proof case which is definitely toilet proof because my phone was fine. But absolutely lesson learned for me, too…no phone in the back pocket!

Sorry to hear about your phone, that’s horrible, but I’m glad you were able to get another. They do cost a lot. Mine is waterproof, so I’m thankful for that!! I hope you’re having a fantastic week so far xx
Hi Katherine! I’m so excited to be linking up and sharing with you, again! As you know, it has been a while for me. But, I’m really enjoying getting back in the swing of things! Your Blog is as beautiful as always. Thanks for hosting, my Bloggy Friend! I know it’s a big job and truly appreciate being able to share with you and your readers! I hope your week has turned around for the better. Those phones are too expensive! I know it’s wrong…but, I do keep my iPhone in my bra. 🙂

I never keep my phone in my pocket anymore. I learned that lesson a couple of times! The same has happened to me twice!
Thank you for hosting x

Katherine, so sorry to hear about your phone. When Mr. Deanie got his new phone from our local Verizon, they told them if he got his phone wet that he should bring it in. They have some special machine that you can put your phone in and dry it out. I hope we never have to try it! Hope the rest of your week is better!

Ack on the phone! Hope the rest of your week goes better!
Thanks so much for the party!!
Hugs,
Debbie
This is one of my worst fears! I want to know why smartphones are so expensive too???
So sorry about your phone! I’m always afraid of dropping my phone into water… I try to be careful, but it can happen so easily…
Thanks for the link up!
At least you hope, that doing that once, will keep you from doing it again. I have heard that the rice thing is only a myth—bummer!!

Thank you so much for the feature and for hosting such a wonderful link up! We hope your week is wonderful 🙂
I did see you post something about your phone and got to tell you I learned this very expensive lesson a year ago while I was in Disney on vacation. I dropped it in a clean toilet, as well getting bathing suits that were drying on the clothes line in our bathroom. Rice didn’t work for me either and I ended up having to pay a cab to and from Disney resorts to the mall and the Apple Store. I wish I knew why cell phones were so expensive and I also now will not go anywhere near the bathroom with my cell phone. Just glad you got a new working phone though, but sorry it was such a costly lesson for you, as well. Hugs and wishing you a wonderful evening ahead, as well now!! xoxo <3
