Cell phone misery-

[Nephythys]

Ok- as some of you know my phone charger died during my trip to Cali- I made a one bar charge last 4 days by keeping it turned off all the time except to check messages.

I bought a new charger- still no go, so I figured it was the battery. However, when I got home my car charger worked just fine- yippee! Just needed a new desk charger- right?

I wish.

Wednesday I flew home, got picked up at the airport, got rear ended on the highway (yes, I got into an accident on my way home, no damage- thankfully!) and that night I took Rose to see Lion King at the Denver Center.....on the way home I used my phone, all was well. By the time we got home it was about midnight- I was exhausted.

Next day I went to work- could not find my phone. Anywhere. So I called home- they tore the place apart- no phone.

Guess what day that was? Yea, the big snow storm. So sadly I concluded I had dropped it on my way into the house the night before and it was now lost under a lot of snow.

Turns out I was right. :(

The snow has been melting and every now and then we would look though the drifts, melt some with hot water, shovel it around.....no go- today the snow melted in the right place and revealed the corpse of my LG.

It charges and I should be able to get the numbers off of it- but the phone is toast. Going to call Verizon and see if they have any great deals to get a new phone-

Guess that fixes the battery charger problem huh?

I had my phone sit in the bottom of a pool for 3 hours (got thrown in and didn't realize it fell out). If you take the battery out and dry it with a hairdryer and let it sit for a few days, a lot of times they turn out ok. Maybe that would work for you too.

It's actually not the battery- it's charging- but the screen got wet, froze and cracked. They already tested it- the "phone" function does not work, but the charge does and that way I should be able to get the info off- which is something.

I guess :(

Yeah, freezing is a whole other story.

...but off topic, do you like the avatar ;)

[Not Afraid]

I do! That was good fun.

[Nephythys]

well- we had an extra LG phone at home so we called Verizon and activated it- woot woo!



Needs a new battery too :) but it works- so I am connected again.

Hey Nephythys, is that carrot cake that you and Lisa are eating in your Avator? I love carrot cake! Can I be a cake hore too? PLEEEEZE?

The carrot cake they use to have at Plaza Inn (a couple years ago- and I think it came from the Cake Box in HB) was the best! Too bad they changed sources!:mad:

Sorry, off topic again.:D

Glad you got a phone working again.

Lisa had churro- I had a small piece of churro, strawberry cheesecake and chocolate banana-

But sure- you can be a cake whore. :)

I am very happy about the phone- yippee!
