My cell phone charger is dead. Finito. Finished... So, I am without a cell phone until tomorrow. Whatever will I do? How did we ever survive before technology?? Maybe I will find something "real" to do with my time tonight... By the way, what does "dead as a doornail" even mean? Were door nails ever living things? Hmm... Lol.

So you had to spend an evening without your cell phone. Oh. My. Gosh! Yes, I'm being a(n) _______ (you fill in the blank). I have a cell phone but I also have a landline. So I only use my cell phone when I leave the house. I have always heard, "Deader than a doornail," but they mean the same thing. I have no idea where that came from.
