Did you know that today's wireless phones are so rugged that the walkng texter can walk in front of a moving bus

and she will get squished to a pulpy mess but the phone would survive?

    Sure, but drop in in the toilet one time and it's toast.

    almost did that tonight.  As my phone is my sole internet source at this time...I nearly had a meltdown...lol

    (Note to self:  quit putting your phone in your back pocket!)

    lol That's how I've done it, too. However, I've put it in a front shirt pocket to avoid that and have lost it into a tub while bathing the kiddos, so it's a no-win situation. If I manage to avoid those things, the phone eventually winds up in the washing machine.

    Not true. My stepdaughter dropped hers in a rain puddle and I rescued it by placing it in a baggie with some calcium chloride. The next day it worked fine.
