Can someone help me? What is wrong with me?
I came home from Japan days ago I live in Texas, I had been there a month. The first few days I had serious jet lag and after that I started getting really sick. Now I am really tired, even though Ive rested a lot, I am throwing up a lot, coughing, my nose is running, I have a fever, my eyes hurt really bad when I look at light, they hurt worse, my ears are sore too, I have a headache, and my muscles are tender too..

Answer

It really sounds like some sort of virus fever, headache, congestion, fatigue, etc. If you have had it for more than a week, see a doctor, but dont worry too much because most of what you describe sounds like a good old fashioned virus. The only things that seem out of place are the painful ears and the vomiting. You might very well have an ear infection at the same time, because inner ear infections will definitely make you throw up I know Ive had a few. You will need to see the doc for antibiotics if you have an ear infection. I dont know who is going through here giving all of your potential helpers thumbs down but theyre an idiot.

I dropped my cell phone in a bucket of water. will it work again?

Question

I dropped my cell phone in a bucket of water. will it work again?

Answer

Believe it or not, Ive actually had this happen to me a couple of times. The first time I dropped it in a lake and had to swim down feet or so to retrieve it. The second time I was fishing for striped bass on Block Island, and was in the water up to my waist. I forgot that I had my cell phone attached to my belt.brbrIn both cases yes, even with the salt water from the ocean I was able to salvage the phone. The first thing to do is remove the battery from the phone. Also, remove the antenna, as water can be trapped in there as well. Then wipe all parts of the phone with a dry cloth. Now lay the parts out with the phone upright so that water can drain out of it. After a few days of drying, reassemble the phone, and it should work.brbrBest of luck.
