I'm actually proud, sometimes... BAM! Up against the wall, full speed...

Push the 'on' button.... Its back! :D

I know what you mean. All of my devices are in an abusive relationship. :D
I might be able to stomach a tablet; they're bigger.

If the issue is not being able to navigate well on a small screen, a tablet is definitely the way to go.

You can also set one up so that most of what you need to do can be done through voice.

I drop and step on mine. Ares is the one that kicks and throws.

That scares me...

With the emotional response touch screen sometimes brings out in me, I don't want to see what "go **** yourself!" brings out in a search engine...

(That thought actually made me lol, though.)

I drop and step on my stuff all the time. Or my phone will fall out of my pocket when I'm climbing a tree to set my solar panels.

One of the reasons I have two phones is so I can use one to call the other one and follow the ringtone when I lose it in the woods, which happens enough to make it practical.

Pfft, I swear at mine all the time. They don't take it personally.

Although when I was still using Google Assistant I remember swearing at it and having it say something like, "even though I'm a program, your words are still hurtful".

I was so happy to discover the 'callmylostphone' website... But of course, I use my laptop for that.

I wonder if there will someday be an option to have the technology swear back.

I like swear words.

I didn't know about that site. Now if they would just come up with a callmylostkeys app.

"Your programmer wears combat boots"!
I like swear words.

Sticks and stones can break my bones but swearing is an art form.

:D

Another drawback no one knows what to do with them if they do come out.

Other than Ares, strangely, who assures he'll take care of me.
Maybe you can set up a "go fund me" to visit a therapist. I'll contribute if you do.

I'll bet at some level he understands that part of you because he has a part of him that's similar.
My 'in person' buddy has been unavailable lately(through no fault of her own), and I think that might be taking a toll.
That sucks of course.

I looked up how much it is to pay out of pocket recently...

I about excreted a brick.

Maybe I'll contact my old one and see if she ever does a sliding fee.

He doesn't generally want people to be unhappy. Even if he can't stop himself from actions leading to unhappiness at times(who doesn't, I suppose).
That sucks of course.
Indeed. Hoping that resolves eventually.

I've never understood that burn either. But it was pretty common when I was a kid: ''Your mother wears combat boots".

Actually, my mother should have worn combat boots.
I have got a whole collection of boots. Think there's a pair in there that could qualify. I'm somebody's mother.
Bathroom wall philosophy is sort of my forte'.
My favorite, though no longer applicable, was "here I sit, all broken hearted... I paid a nickel, but only farted" from the days of pay to use public toilets.
A song by "Two feet" and another by Roxanne featuring "dUg Pinnick George Lynch. Elon Musk telling advertisers off. a book "Go F#ck Yourself: How to deal with any situation life throws", And more.
Well, that seems safe enough...

I'm putting together a posse. We're kidnapping the whole family. Except for George. ( Kidding )
No, no! Reverse it!

Kidnap me and take me to the zoo!

You can bring me back after I chat with the elephants.

My mom's late husband was patching the roof.

All the sudden, he burst in the door. Mom asked what his trouble was.

"I farted, but it wasn't."
