It wasn&#8217;t one of those ones that you had to stick in your ear which just gives me the creeps.<br \/>\nIt was suggested that I should charge it and see if it still worked.<br \/>\nLow and behold after a good charging it worked!\u00a0 I swore I would NEVER put it in my pocket ever again.\u00a0 2 cell phones and countless tubes of lipstick, lip gloss, and chapstick have been destroyed in the washer and dryer.\u00a0 I also have the cleanest driver license, atm card and lighters in California.<\/p>\n<p>The other day I was flip flopping the laundry and at the bottom, there it was&#8230;my pink bluetooth.\u00a0 &#8220;DAMN IT!&#8221; there is no way that poor thing could survive a second washing.\u00a0\u00a0 I remembered last time I found it in the dryer and so with a &#8216;what the hell&#8230;it worked before&#8230;what can it hurt?&#8217;, I tossed my blue tooth into the dryer with the wet clothes.\u00a0\u00a0 After the 40 minutes, I took it out with the clothes and plugged it in to charge.<br \/>\nYeah&#8230;IT WORKED!<\/p>\n<p>Now I promise to NEVER wash it again, because my odds of it working again after 3 washings is just tempting fate.\u00a0 I&#8217;m telling the story of the most awesome bluetooth to my hair stylist and as I am getting up from the chair, it falls and hits the floor&#8230;hard.\u00a0 It broke.<\/p>\n<p>Distraught I go looking for a replacement at Fryes Electronics and Best Buy.\u00a0 Because it&#8217;s an &#8216;older model&#8217; they don&#8217;t have it. I found a replacement on Overstock dot com.\u00a0\u00a0 The thing is&#8230;it&#8217;s red. It&#8217;s not pink.\u00a0 AND, I have never had any luck with the &#8216;replacement&#8217; things in my life.\u00a0 Examples, My Motorola Razor phone. The first one had the best reception and the battery lasted forever.\u00a0 I replaced it after some fucktard stole it when we went to the coast. The replacement&#8230;sucked.\u00a0 My Samsung phone that vibrated into a sink full of water was the best phone! (before the swim) and the replacement has NO reception.\u00a0 Sucks.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m hoping the new bluetooth will prove to be different.<\/p>\n<p>That is the Christmas present I bought for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to next year&#8230;getting what I want and accepting the things I didn&#8217;t want but were handed to me anyway.\u00a0\u00a0 To allowing replacements into my life and not questioning them.\u00a0 Maybe replacements is exactly what I need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas this year.\u00a0 &lt;removing snarky comment&gt; Last year Dan bought me a pink Motorola blue tooth from the girls for Christmas.\u00a0 In this last year that poor thing has survived so much.
