It might be true. But we haven't lost hope yet. A lovely night out on the town in lovely Salem turned into a traumatic and most devastating event. An accidental slip of the hands, a splash and 10 seconds later....Jfay was without her lifeline. Literally. Under normal circumstances, no biggie, Buuuut the fact that this was her pride and joy, hard earned and very hard paid for blackberry, and also not to mention that her babeska is currently across the world in Aussie Land, this could make for a ROUGH few days we have ahead of us. We thought our friend was crazy when he suggested to put it in rice and let it sit. Yeah. Ok. But when we walked into the AT&T store this morning, where the guys already know our weirdo faces from the day the original purchase went down, we were suddenly the crazy ones. They always have the look on their faces, like, uh oh, what are these girls doing here again. After having a most socially awkward conversation with one of the workers, which included, but was not limited to, asking us more than once in a 5 second time period if we had insurance on the phone. How many ways can we get creative with the answer No? And proceeding to ask us where did we go?What do you mean where did we go? Where did the tragedy take place? What does The Can Can have to do with anything? His detective work was making for a very odd face to face conversation. But alas, we arrived at the conclusion it was either fork over $200 bucks, orrrr, as previously suggested, put it all in rice! To soak up the moisture I guess. Should have listened to JTT the first time around. Now when you think of putting these parts in rice, we definitely had very different mental pictures of what this would like. Chelsea, assumed cooked rice. What? The guys saiiid to warm it up. Warm rice....warm cooked rice right? Wrong, way wrong, obviously wrong. Feels kinda stupid wrong. Why would you cook sticky wet rice, and then proceed to put an already water infested phone it it. Good thing Jfay was on their level, and first time around understood the dry rice concept. So after a quick trip to WINCO, and $2, not $200 later....the wait is on. 24 hour experiment here we go. I mean, the guy at AT&T DID say 48 hours, but after we freaked out on him and probably scared him shitless with our response to what it would be like to have to wait a whole 48 hours without a phone, the poor guy broke down and with a scared smile and a look of regret said, ok maybe just 24?? We'll of course let you know how it turns out. We're hoping for the best for baby blackberry....any prayers and words of encouragement are highly appreciated.....
