El Zen Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Just stopped at a small, rural supermarket and needed a piss before I did my shopping. I was guided through the storage room, downstairs to what can only have been the last remains of the 1970s and found the customer restroom. It had a shower cabinet. I’m bringing a towel next time I’m shopping there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted October 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2022 A little side story here. The cushions are for a patio set that includes a sofa, 2 chairs and a bench seat. I ordered covers for it except the bench as I figured we would just sit that under the table. Got the proper Hartman ones. Anyway, the sofa cover was missing an anchor point from one corner. I wrote to the seller to explain the issue but that I had already had the covers out in use for a couple of days before I noticed the missing elastic. I admit I was hoping they would just refund the money, I can fix what's wrong easy enough myself. Anyway they said it was a manufacturing problem so would refer to to Hartman. Pretty much immediately I got a message from Hartman saying they were dispatching a new cover to me. Oh well, no refund but I've got a spare/additional cover, fair enough. Anyway, when the new cover arrived it was a bench cover, the one thing I didn't have. Now I'm hoping they just send me the correct cover and let me keep the bench one. I'm certainly not paying anything myself to return it. So anyway I will probably end up with 1 spare cover and another cover for an item I didn't previously have. Little wins.

KentVillan Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 A friend died unexpectedly a few months back. We had several shared playlists on Spotify... we both had very similar taste in music and we'd both kind of communicate just by leaving songs on our lists. I wondered what would happen to them when his account got wound up, but I just discovered that those playlists will stay on Spotify. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/Family-member-died-want-to-keep-lists/td-p/4987220 Quote I'm sorry about your loss. But don't worry, all the playlists will remain active, as well as her account, even after you remove it from your Family plan (the account will then turn to Free instead of Premium). You can also make a copy of her playlists, selecting/copying/pasting all songs to a new playlist created by you, so you can add songs to if, if you wish. Listening now. It's a nice little legacy to leave behind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 It's strange to have these little digital fingerprints of lost friends. It's a bit like having a lost friend in your address book in the old days, I guess. I've got a couple of friends on Steam who passed. One of them last logged in 5 years ago, and I see his username on my friends list every so often and think back to the good old days. **** miss that guy, and I'll never be able to bring myself to remove him from the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that mate. I put it in this thread because I think it's actually really cool that you can revisit these things... kind of uplifting. Definitely made me feel better anyway.

il_serpente Posted October 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2022 On the flip side, I had a high school classmate who took her own life a number of years ago and her facebook account never got deactivated and people would find her among their friend suggestions from facebook or friends would get prompted to send birthday wishes. Not exactly a cheerful reminder. There must be millions of active social media accounts of deceased people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
