I must warn you this is a rather tragic story about a girl without an ipod, the only girl in this country without one. As if you're not crying already I'll continue with the story. It was a Monday morning I just finished a rather satisfying workout at my local gym. Me, my sweat towel, water bottle, and this little nano made a stop at the restroom before picking Milly up at kids Club. (The restroom visit I would later regret.) I placed my towel and nano on top of the toilet as I finished my business I flushed the "toe toe" (as my grandmother would call it) and grabbed my towel which caused my nano to go diving into the toe toe while it was still flushing. I saw it all happen, my motherly instincts kicked in and I grabbed the headphones which were wrapped around my little nano, and I've never been fly fishing but I swear you would think I was a pro as I yanked the ipod and saved it from it's urine soaked despair. I came out of the stall and ripped off the nano's blue cover and began to pat it dry. The nano was weak due to the traumatic incident, saying it had no battery connection. Not to worry nans I'll get you home where it's warm and dry and we'll get you all charged up good as new. Exhilarated by my first rescue I called Mason to tell him. His only reply; "If that thing has your pee on it I don't want it in my house." Seriously how insensitive can you be?! Little did I know the faint battery warning would be nano's last words. Little nans and I met while I was in college and we've seen eachother through a lot; long runs, bike rides in which he was tucked in my bra, boyfriends dowloading music onto him. Little nans you will be missed dearly. So unless any of you know how to revive a urine soaked ipod than I guess I'll just be here singing to myself.

Ode to the ipod

My little brother dropped his original gameboy in the john way back in the day. It came around had three lines out of pixels. Back in the day, he had no choice but to play it. I think your hubby is right, maybe it's time for an upgrade! Funny story though and sad at the same time. Priority mail Santa a letter, it's not too late!
ReplyDeleteMy ipod touch had a fatal run in with some pink lemonade- it was a sad day. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that if you get an appliance wet the best thing to do for it is put it in a jar full of dry rice. The rice will absorb all of the moisture once you've topped off the jar leaving the electronic device nice and dry. Try it!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but this is funny! I drowned my nano in blue gatorade the lid popped of in my purse. I had a dead sticky ipod and i cried and then I baked it on the lowest setting in the oven and guess what it sill works. If you have a wooden cutting board or bowl to set it on thats the best. A friend who works with computer circuits told me this and I have done it with my ipod and a phone that fell in the hot tub and it has worked both times.
ReplyDeleteWho is this ipod baker?! I must know more! How long should one bake it for? Any chance of it working after the fact?
