What kinda dipshit does that?!?

I put it in freezer for 24hrs.
It evaporates the water I guess or brings to surface. I wiped insides, let it dry out some more * threw in freezer again for close to 24 hrs. Again, I let it dry out, charged it thereafter, & it's like it never happened.

Normally, my bro said just 1 24hr. period is enuff. He said this worked 1 outta 2x he tried it. Who knows where he learned about it. He said know his success rate is 2/3.

All I know is I'm pretty happy, cause last thing I need is to give a communcations co. more $ than they already have. It's $ I don't have to spend on a phone I woulda otherwise needed if I didn't at least try this.

I'm pretty when I try to contact individuals, & they don't return my calls. When I really needed answers, I was let down. When I call a business, before they close, & there's no answer, simply burns me up.
If I have to call multiple times, & those calls are not returned, I get even more irritated. Even more so when they're closed on weekends, & I call before 5PM on a Fri.

I hate counting on people.

When I rely on others & the more I'm let down, the less I wanna rely on anyone going forward & the less faith I have in humans.

Sometimes I have to. I really prefer just to do things myself, that way I know who to blame, I know I can rely on myself & I know my limits.

Does anyone have this **** happen? Or am I just lucky?

I'm there with you buddy...honestly, I hate phones (you'd never know it by how long I stay on them when I have good conversation lol)...but my phone always rings when my hands are deep in a sharp dashboard, or I just soaped them up, then when I stop what I'm doing and try to grab the phone I miss the call, so I call back...and they don't pick up!!

I hate leaving messages and not getting called back, why bother having voicemail if you're not going to check your messages or return calls???

Gotta say, I've always gotten through to FLT and Circle-D, or gotten my calls returned...always a pleasure making those calls. ****, I have FLT's number saved in my cell for quick access

I hate being on phones, esp. cell phones w/. all the "things" u hear, they cause this...

I make exceptions for trucks, automotive, good people & hot chics. If u fall in that mix, well, here's to you.

BTW, FLT & CircleD are both in my phone as contacts.

A great time for a callback is when I'm on *******. Even better, wiping.
