The Perils of Pockets

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go to the toilet with your cell phone in your fleece jacket pocket!  Nearly flushed fancy schmancy Sidekick down the john this morning!  Now it is all wonky, I am hoping and praying that a few days of drying off will save it...

it's probably toast - and you are the 4th person I know THIS MONTH whose cell has fallen in the toilet - you might try burying it in kitty litter for a few days to see if that will pull some moisture out . . .

Oh sad. You should get cell phone insurance maybe? I think I keep Verizon in business with how many phones I break.

Laurie said...

NOW I get the insurance. Gak. 300 bones down the crapper.

Literally.

Bob was mentioning that is one of the most common demises of most cell phones (I think he has done is three times so may be running up the #'s on his own!) The toilet shown isn's something at your new abode is it?

Laurie said...

God I wish it was! That is a Victorian toilet. Pretty!

Sue said...

isn't that the same calico you used at your wedding to T??? hmmm . . . .

Meg said...

I could put a foley in ya...no more cell phone pee-pee suicides. But with bundles, you'll be on your own.

Laurie said...

yes that does look the same as my calico! I need to get that toilet! And Megs, I think I'll just try to remember not to go to the potty with the phone in the pocket. But you might need to Foley your dad...

Katie said...

you'd probably want ME to do the foley anyways, not Meg - she's been working with little kids and i only see old people... Not to mention i am incredible at the female foley (quite the feat)! :)

Laurie said...

now that I know you have 99% love and 1% hate for me, I am not letting you get anywhere near me with a catheter. That 1% might be acting up that day...

Meg said...

Yes, that is quite the feat! One of my first foley's, when we used to do CBI before Mesna was FDA approved, I put the foley in what I thought was the urethra. I was feeling mighty proud of myself because EVERY woman has vastly different shaped parts and as I blow up the balloon Pat said (yes, this was 8 years ago, but I still remember her name) "what's the purpose of this?" And I go on to explain why we do continuous bladder irrigation so chemo won't stick the bladder wall, blah, blah, blah...and she says "then why is it my butt?"

zaideafraidey said...

okay now I am worried, a urethra from a butt??? And I have always been so proud of the WSU nursing school.

Meg said...

Mom, you have no idea how differant all our lady bits are.

Laurie said...

seriously, you can't tell the diff? Hopefully you can now, bc those little kids aren't going to know.

Katie said...

Meg, you tard. i love it. i can definitely say i've never done that! LOL

zaideafraidey said...

sorry Meg I cannot imagine an anus looking like a lady bit...are we going to have to have one of those 90's ladies parties where they all sit on mirrors to check themselves out???

Sue said...

it could have been a hemi - they kinda look that way don't they?? NO MIRRORS -

Laurie said...

omg that is the WORST party idea EVER. Is there an e-vite for that I wonder?
