Read Replies (4) | Respond to So here is how my morning started off... After not sleeping all that much last night (again), I got out of bed, cleaned up, and gathered my laundry together to bring downstairs. Our washing machine is a top loader with a large open drum that makes it easy to simply dump the whole basket of clothes in it, press a button or two and it goes happily on its way. As I went into the kitchen to make coffee, I hear the machine making a slightly different sound. Not concerning enough to make me run over to see what it was, but enough of a sound that after I poured my coffee, I curiously strolled back to go check. As I looked down through the clear plexi window lid, I see my iPad Pro in there. At first my brain said to me, "Hmmm I don't remember wearing my iPad yesterday. But even if I did, I would think it would require drycleaning." Then I remembered putting it on top of the clothes basket and must have covered it with more stuff I found. Dumb me. I pressed the button to shut down the machine and "patiently" waited for the lid to take its time to unlock as I frantically yanked on it fifty times before it unlatched. I pulled out my freshly cleaned iPad. Water (and perhaps a bit of soap) was dripping out of all of the little ports and speaker perferations. It did not auto-awake. I looked for where I might initiate mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The foul taste of soap helped me to decide to take my lips off of the charging port and instead shake it until it stopped dripping water. I know for sure I don't have any rice other than a 10 year old box of Rice-a-Roni in the far back shelf of the pantry closet. Right now it is resting in a verticle position with the section that dripped the most water, facing down. Pretty sure this thing is done for. Not sure what else to do at this point. It looks so sad. Like a puppy dog that was caught out in a rain storm... -aye yie yie pad
