    I just found my SanDisk U3 USB drive at the bottom of my dryer. Slipped it into the USB port and viola! it still works. Man, I'm one lucky sm'b*tch!

        I had one of those too. Unfortunately, they don't handle being run over by a car very well. I was changing a tire in my driveway last week, and mine fell out of my pocket. I found it, somewhat thinner, after I moved the car :(. The good thing is I don't use it for permanent storage; it's just for getting stuff from machine A to machine B.

              yeah, I accidentally washed my husband's LG phone...twice. I was not so fortunate.

                  I'm feeling inspired. *idea* A new t.v. show that combines guided meditation with tech reviews. The show will broadcast 40 relaxing, repetitive minutes of the wash going round and round. There will be soothing voice overs. Then some commercials. The last five minutes of program will be some techs trying to get the eq that just went through the wash to work. What do you all think? Should I perhaps refrain from posting on message boards after being up for 20 hours? Regards. -- modified at 5:54 Monday 7th May, 2007
