another accident victim

so the cookies melted/burned, now there's been another in-home accident.
My cell phone drowned.
It seems it took a swim in the washing machine this morning, escaping my fairly vigilant screening. I have missed some alcohol wipes, a pair of scissors/hemostats, my employee badge, and probably my license and debit card a couple of times before. But up until now, except for dropping it on occasion, I have been cell phone accident free. The phone went out with a TKO in the first round (I'm glad I didn't go with the, I'll wait until it rings plan to find it). I went to the sprint store and promptly got a replacement (which doesn't have the rubber, so sadly this one may not be so resilient to the dropping as it's predecessor) that has the same number. The contact list could not be salvaged, however.
so, moral of the story
1) don't let your cell phone go swimming, no matter how much it likes your pants
2) have a back up contact list, because no matter how well you follow moral one, there's bound to be a drowning, crushing, or dropping accident at some point
and
3) neither cookies or cellphones can be resuscitated once declared dead

there is your public service announcement for today.

That is really funny...not the part where your cell phone drowned, but your organization name (Toad) :)
