Sometimes you just have to stray off the path and take a pleasant detour. Fish Hooked is the very thing and its 261 followers are not wrong. As a Piscean I took straight away to the fishy cartoons. It was a nice break, a pleasant surprise and it gave me a chance to stop being so serious! The site also welcomes fishy jokes and puns if you want to actively engage your brain and contribute to the mirth. The Net can be very encouraging like that. It is very much about shared experiences, knowledge and engaging with others. The mobile floating at the top of the bowl reminds me just how many people seem to get their phone wet! I dropped mine into the bucket of water I was using to wash the car. I never panic when I do that sort of thing. I took it indoors and opened it up. Took out the sim card and wiped it. Blotted as much water out of the phone as I could then propped front and back of the phone up with the open side facing the fire at about a meter’s distance. I rested it on a tea towel. I let it dry for about 3 days. I don’t cry if I lose access to a phone. I have the internet! I have Facebook…I have other phones! When I put it all back together again it was fine. Same with the cordless that I also dropped onto the bucket of car washing water! Don’t let them get too near to any heat source. Just gentle heat and plenty of careful blotting.
