Can I talk about my BGG auction in here?

If I can't, feel free to delete this. In short, i'm an idiot. The long story:

This was one of the dumbest things that ever happened to me. We were on vacation with my dad and were doing tons of fishing. On the last day, we docked the boat and I attempted to get out of it onto the dock. I didn't get high enough and started to fall. I fell head-first into 3 feet of water. I'm 6'4" 400 pounds. I'm lucky I didn't die! As I did a quick scan to make sure nothing was broken, I realized that my Moto Z2 Force was in my pocket. We let it dry for two days. Plugged it in. DEAD. So now I have to replace my $700 phone which totally sucks. Help a brother out.

I only caught four fish all damn weekend.

Asking if you can talk about your auction is talking about your auction.

Did you try putting your phone in a bag of rice? That sucks the moisture out of it. Might be too late now.

Can I buy Gloomhaven from you outright without fooling with the auction?

Motorolas are notorious for not dealing with water well. I saw one bricked on an amusement ride.

I tried rice for 2 days. No luck. It's bricked.

Uba, thanks for moving this.

Barnes, you can absolutely buy outright. I see you PMed me on BGG.

Yikes! I love getting on and off boats at docks but I often look down at the green mossy water between the dock and get chills what it must be like falling in that.

Glad you're both okay. That's a bad and dumb way to go out.

It’s really a good idea to avoid boats in general.
Nothing good ever comes out of boating.

Falling off the dock next to the boat is surprisingly common.

I get on a boat a few times a year and haven't had any issues. Boating is fun and everyone should do more of it.

Steve, give me a call; if you still want to sell your pedals I’d buy ‘em to help you out.

Lis has a spare IPhone 5 too, if you want it so you don’t have to be out a phone.

Dang, that's no joke! In my mid-twenties I spent six weeks in a back brace after cannonballing into a shallow lake. If I had gone in head first it probably woulda been sayonara.

All this to say: water, the outdoors, boats, and docks are all actively trying to kill us. Best to stay inside forever.
