Hello? Can anyone hear me? This is Nathan and I'm stuck in the land of the lost, purgatory, limbo. Whatever you want to call it, I'm here and I'm surrounded by weird messages like, "Hey babe. U up?" and "HI JOHN ITS DAD JUST WANTED TO SAY WAT UP HAHA JK LUV U TALK 2 U SOON LOVE DAD." Please send help. I don't know how long I will last.

Story of the day:

• Apple iMessage update may fix bug that keeps texts in purgatory
• Escaping iMessage hell
