What a pain it is to break a phone [View all]

We were on a trip to another country. My wife was holding her phone while I was heading down the stairs in the tour bus and teh phone hit the back of my elbow and fell out onto the street. Ooops. Cracked screen and display. Whole thing not useable.

Do you realize what a problem that is these days?

Social media, dead. Email. Dead. To use my phone or tablet she needs to get a security code to use a new device... SMS or email goes to her phone...... Argh.

Repair store don't have the display in stock. It is Easter week. They can order but won't come in until Friday, Closed. Good Friday. Closed the whole weekend. Saturday since they normally work half days not going to open. Of course Sunday closed. Easter. Monday closed Easter Monday.... Plus replacement part is more than half the cost of a new one....

We should see a new phone this week.

And life goes on.
