It's not uncommon. Generally it's caused by a polarized flux on the feedback pin causing a negative pixelation which results in counter rotational stress on the cables thumb screws leading to complete detachment.

Just re-allign the dilithium crystals.

Well, as long as there is a reasonable explanation...

I wrestled with a blister pack for 10 minutes before noticing the big perforated panel on the back labeled "easy open".

Technically the "stupid thing" happened yesterday but I could not post about it until I made it to work today.

A line of thunderstorms knocked out power to a few hundred thousand homes in my country, Casa de Moonie included. That was around 4:00pm yesterday.

My Cell phone was not charged. My Laptop was not charged, My Kindle was not charged, I realized I no longer own a battery powered radio and since we use Fios our home phone died somewhere about 11:00pm. Doh!

I did have a tube of 100 glow necklaces which actually work fairly well for getting around a night.

Hopefully power will come back on before I get home tonight but it's not looking very promising.

And people wonder why I've always been so reluctant to switch to any sort of digital phone line at home.

I hope the power is back on when you get home. We have had instances where it was off for a couple of days. {a stolen car in a chase knocked out a major power box}.

We have a cordless phone but we also have a regular phone nearby {oops, where?} for during power outtages.

The stupid thing I've done today? Not sure yet. I have to call my job and see if I still have it. I've put my trust in my HR person and I am thinking they've screwed me over. Pretty stupid. I don't work a lot {nor do I want to} but I told him I did want to have a job to come back to.

And for my Double-Doh! moment of the day. I totally forgot when we made the switch to a digital phone line I was worried about this very issue so our fax line is still on copper. Meaning that I do in fact at least have a home phone line that works.

Can you charge your cell phone in your car?

Yeah, about that. I lost my keys over the weekend as well.

Moonie Jr. had to drive me to work. I'll probably have to take the bus home.

Even for a Monday, today sucks.
