Mike, I heard if a phone gets wet put it in a zip lock bag with rice in it.
I’m glad your friend stepped up to the plate and helped you get the new phone and that the apple store was able to help you get what you need on your new one. Good luck at the convention.

So early this past Sunday morning, while doing my impression of Marathon Chef Challenge; I must of inadvertently bumped my 16 gig 5S into the kitchen sink. It actually fell into my half full of sudsy water crock pot. Of which I used to slow cook some caramelized onions. Well of course I didn’t hear the splash, nor the little fella’s cry for help. Note for a great way to make some big mega dollars: come up with a “Help me I’m drowning” IOS app! So anyways by the time I found to my horror and shock that my IPhone was doing its floater in the pool impression, he was beyond resuscitation. I went through a fantasm of rage and anger, I did come up with a couple of really great new cursable phrases. Finally coming up with a very harsh realization! How in the heck am I going to get through the Florida Council of the Blind Annual Convention this weekend in Jacksonville Florida? I have absolutely everything needed for the weekend on my 5S! I mean everything to run the annual FCB raffle, including taking in all of the chapter’s sold ticket stubs, recording all of the respective info, keeping the raffle winning tickets organized during the Saturday night official raffle drawing and pulling the winning tickets, plus the whole convention agenda and finally, besides all my Amtrak tickets in my Wallet app, all of my dialysis info. As I had to set up dialysis up in J-Ville. I had several heart palpitations and couldn’t even swallow my heart to keep it quiet! Talk about a big brick exit and a half! By the by; the mac and cheese with caramelized onions with sliced hot dogs marinated in soy sauce, turned out like rotten garbage! Talk about a bad day. So Mike this sucks, what did you ever do? Well Virginia, I scheduled a ride with a good friend of mine from Church. Carl picked me up Monday, yes Memorial day, and drove me down to our local Apple Store at Coconut Point Shopping Mall. I ended up buying a brandie new 128 gig IPhone SE! They pulled everything out my ICloud and it went smoothly and $500.00 later; my new 128 gig SE is ready to rock and even all my Straight Talk stuff is good to go. I can’t tell you how helpful those folks at the Apple Store are! Way cool indeed! I was originally planning on buying an SE of the same capacity, but in perhaps a month or two. My good friend loaned the $500.00, and I told him I’d pay him back $100.00 a month. He was cool with that. Of course, I didn’t pass the required credit plan to buy it from The Apple Store on payments, so good thing my friend stepped up to the plate. So here’s a big time thanks to Carl, you and the Apple Store saved my bacon and the day! Michael D.
