The massive hot dog I just ate is killing me already. I should have doubled up on my Prilosec.

I found my ipod in a cup of water. I suspect the dog did it. 

bright(ish) side of complaint- I have Best Buy additional warranty for 3 more years.

not so bright side- I dont think my best buy addt. warranty covers water damage but I will take it in to BB and find out today.

You can always dry it out in a bag of rice and "forget" about the water issue. Unless it's dripping with h2o, BB will probably exchange it anyway.

Does that really work? Also it is about a 18months old but I did buy the extra warranty do you really think best buy will exchange it?

I think if you bought a 3-year warranty you have 3 years no matter what.  And the rice trick does pull the water out.  Won't repair the damage, nor make it play, but will draw the water out.

IMO-they should, or I mean probably will  if the iPod isn't functioning properly or not at all. I don't know what the warranty covers, but unless it's obviously wet....
It might cover accidents, I don't know.  I know several people that have dried out soaked Blackberrys with the rice trick. Pour white rice in a zip-loc and put the iPod in there for at least a day.

Ok I was hoping (but not sure) if the 3year warranty covered water and accidental damage completely. I have the ipod in the rice now so maybe if it draws the water out the ipod will work

OK thanks so much for the tip. I now have the ipod in the dry white rice. Hopefully if the water gets drawn out then maybe the damage wasn't too bad. Its worth a try before my trip to best buy. Thanks again, today my complaint taught me something new.

My husband dropped one of our cordless phones in the pool last week.  Put it in a bag of dry white rice and it works like a charm.  Hopefully it will work for your ipod!

I should be working on my taxes.  We filed an extension which is due in 11 days.  I think our accountant is going to fire us.

If you are talking about the Federal extension filed using form 4868, that gives you until October 15 to file the return. (I'm assuming a personal return, here.)

I still think you should get it done sooner rather than later. . . .but you may not be as much under the gun as you think you are. . . .

Whenever I'm about ready to start complaining, I think about people living in the various famine-struck, dictator-run, and/or war-torn areas of the world, and then I just shut my mouth.

Really? I wonder why all the pressure from the acct then...

Maybe for our business return. We have an s-corp and filed an extension for that also.

Yes, I do want it just done but if it doesn't have to be done right away I'm going to enjoy the last week or so of my kids' summer break.

He/she probably has a whole bunch of clients on extension who all will expect it done in the same 2 week period. . . .I don't blame him/her for encouraging you to get it done sooner rather than later, and I wouldn't be surprised if he/she said, "I need all the info by x date or I can't guarantee it will be done on time."

And would expect him/her to charge more the later it gets.

Besides, maybe he/she's got a vacation scheduled, too.

Business returns are on a different schedule and the extension works differently, but that's not my practice area at all so I don't know any more than that.

My hubby dropped his razor phone in water and he took it all apart and put it in rice.  It worked!

Last time I checked, business extensions were either for five or for six months depending on the kind of forms you needed to file. So, since business tax forms are due 3/15, that would be either mid-August or mid-September. Your accountant might be right...
