       I hope I didn't offend with my post: your initial post states
       that your relative is female, which I picked up from the start
       -- I wasn't sure about your own gender (if that is indicated in
       your post, I missed it).  I was just unable to resist remarking
       how, in general discourse in very many places in these times:
       this is a matter on which it is opined with great frequency that
       "in the main here -- men tend to do / be A; women, B",

       Just a hint for anyone else who smashes their phone screen, I
       also dropped my phone, on cement. There was a spiderweb of
       cracks all across the screen, but the phone still worked. I
       replaced it because it was older. However, until I could replace
       it, I placed plastic cling wrap around it.

       I always wrap my television remotes in cling wrap (plastic wrap
       for us Americans).  Since I live alone, 100% of my meals are
       eaten while sitting on the couch in front of the TV (No dining
       room anyway - that's where the treadmill is).  So, cling wrap
       keeps the remote clean of crumbs and icky stuff.  Change the
       cling wrap when you replace the batteries.  This has been
       working for me for over a decade.

       Limmershin,
       I wasn't offended at all. A gender difference may have explained
       part of the differences in outlooks. Immediately wanting to
       think of a solution to a problem (as opposed to only addressing
       the feelings involved) is a tendency I have noticed in myself.
