PDD-NOS strikes again: Stephen the Minion Blur drowned my Sprint Rant in the toilet...

Stephen the Minion Blur in one of his infamous PDD-NOS moments drowned my Sprint Rant in the family toilet. Look at him. Napping all innocent with Mike and Noah as if the death of my electronics never crossed his tiny little PDD-NOS mind. I have said it before and I will say it again. They may look innocent but don't let 'em fool you. Living with Autism and PDD-NOS is a trip (LOL).

I can't believe I don't have a friggin' cell phone again... That really whomps because I live on my cell phone. My mind just short circuited with the thought (LOL). I'm trying to blog but the distraction of hunting down telephone numbers is too great. Late night with the CA crew just got ruined. Oh well... guess I'll have to go jack a blog later if I want to be entertained... If I ever calm down long enough to pick a victim post (LOL).

That freakin' kid killing the electronics makes me wanna dive into the ice cream. Seriously... Ooooo NO BonBons. This is bad. Very bad... I am also out of Hagen Daz. WTF? When did that happen!?! Breyers is good but shorty left his DNA in it. That's HIS container now. (LOL) ;-)

I can't believe all my info just went poof begone. Mikey discovered my phone decorating the bowl while I was minding my business working on my fan page search engine optimization project. I have to confess this is freaking me out because I have a lot of appointments to keep on Sunday.

Bummer... I was wondering why it was so friggin' quiet. That thing routinely rings past midnight (LOL). That's what happens when your friends are in different time zones. I am going to be in voice message hell for the next couple of days... Oh well... This should be very interesting. At least Step didn't try to toast it like he did last time. Remember that bit of mischief? (LMAO) I don't think I will ever forget that. Even when I have a senior moment. That bit of mischief will stick (LOL).  I have soooo got to bring you guys up to speed on my wee people. Your virtual nephews have been quite busy. :-D

Look at him... How can someone so innocent looking be sooooooo devious? At least my three year old is consistent (LMAO). I could have sworn pumpkin was sleeping in his room in the crib when I started serial commenting. My guy pie and I are going to have a loooooong talk tomorrow. Seriously! Then again... well... um... maybe not too seriously. After all, he is speech delayed and the conversation may be just a wee bit one sided (LOL).

Maybe I should just be grateful he didn't decide to spill his drink in my shoes again and should stop whining because he could have thrown it out the window like last time. Is that a toddler sport? I am beginning to think so... At least I can do CPR with a hair dryer and try to get this puppy to live. ;-)

So - any suggestions for my next upgrade? Feel free to post some links for me to check out your phone models. A user review would be very nice, most appreciated and MAD USEFUL. Time to go borrow a hair dryer and see what I can do with this puppy. Maybe it isn't dead and will wake from an electronic coma. After all, hope springs eternal. I am going to be an optimist. We shall see. Will update you all in the morning (LOL). Last thought of the gentle mini-rant as blog post therapy once again comes to an end:

Life with wee people can be very interesting... BTW, that may be an understatement.

Business Blog Fan me. It will make my Outside Blog Minion Report Facebook morning (LOL).

Carolyn, they do make a water proof camera. Cannon makes a little point and click which I have dropped into whirlpool tubs and still work. Surely they will survive the plunge into the toilet...

LOL @ Amy. Why do I have underwater scuba gear images with that statement? Geez... my brain is on the fritz. I just woke up (BTW, 8AM is my version of sleeping late - I need caffeine - LOL).

Michael, it was in there for a couple of hours (Oh horror!). Waiting for it to dry out. The myth is you can't turn it back on for three days to find out. I think it's a repair shop rule or something. Old wives tale perhaps? Hmm... I am soooo temped to place it on the recharge... but I'll wait. I really like my Sprint Rant. :-)

Ugh...over the years I have dropped my new one in the toilet, dropped on in the lake, I forgot a put it in my bathing suite and dunked under the water washing the boat, dropped on in Panama City walking and hit a sink hole.

So frustrating....

Great photo though.

Thank you, Sheldon. I appreciate that. I am going to be cranking up the campaign for the bay-bays business pages. I have to post a tally page and update the numbers while linking back to the FB sites. I am determined to win for the sake of winning. I am competitive that way (LOL).

My cutie pies are adorable. I love to watch them sleeping. Sometimes, when I am having my morning tea I just sit, watch and smile... enjoying the quiet and anticipting madness later on (LOL). ;-)

Missy, you have my sympathy, empathy and laughter. ;-)

The image of the sink hole boggled my mind. I actually feel a little bit better while being morbidly fascinated and just a tad horrified (LMAO). It's the cartoons in my head. They're having a field day with you. They are just as strange as I am when we haven't had our required dose of tea caffeine. I may have to hunt up a donut for my sugar addiction. :-)

Count your blessings...it could be worse. Good thing your computer won't fit in the toilet!

ROTFLMAO @ Lizette. Seems I was remiss in blogging about how the IBM ThinkPad died? I shall have to rectify the situation regarding the laptops...

Yes, there is an "s" on the end. I had to recently replace my beloved Sony, remember? Lets see how long the Toshiba lasts. Never had one of those before and am clueless about Windows Vista (LOL). The tub and shower have seem some very interesting little minion activity.

Someone wanted to watch a DVD while the other was playing raining safari with the miniature animals in the shower... Seems they decided they needed the Lion King music. Need I say more?

Now you know why I nap instead of sleep through the night... :-D

C - great photo, your line, They might look innocent...... somehow reminds me of the movie They Only Kill Their Masters. Hope you at least save your SIMM.

The Sprint Rant does not have a simm card. It's a hard drive to help cut down on the theft of phones. Can't swap out a card and use it on the swiped handset so it gets stolen less. I have the drive backed up on the server but can't remember the last time I updated the information. Bummer. That'll teach me not to be lazy again (LOL).
