Well, she did get her phone back, but I wonder if she thought it was worth it?

Personally, I would have left it!

She wasn't too worried about it since it fell in her own pile.

I really don't think I could have done that either. I would have figured it was gone; there's worse things to lose (and would have thought that even if I did get it back, it wouldn't work after that). But then, I'm not addicted to my cell phone. Would have been a real pain to replace all those numbers; but, I think the most important ones I have already on other cell phones that have broken over the years. Yeah, I'm thinking definitely would have figured I've done lost that one for good! Onto a new one. Maybe she was a nurse and was used to that kind of stuff? One of the reasons, maybe the only reason, I could never be a nurse (though I love caring for people); just can't deal with that gross stuff--not voluntarily.

I'm not experienced with the mechanisms of an outhouse, but I thought there were other people's in there too. Even if not, that would be enough to gross me out too much.

Ugh, I really need to set up the automatic back-up for the photos on my phone.

Ditto regarding the gross stuff, except for my kids. But I even had trouble watching them get a shot!

Yes, and that is why she was advised to seek medical attention afterward.

Simple solution, quit playing on your phones in the john. Honestly I get grossed out when I realize the person I'm talking to is sharing a BM with me. Flushhhhh!
