When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

move out and draw fire

Hil, I'm so sorry to hear that! Hospital is not a good place to be.

JZ's brother was only able to find a hidden safe in their dad's house after his death because he found a cryptic note in a kitchen drawer that looked like a combination. It was. Thousands of dollars and essential car papers were found.

This sounds exactly like an escape room I played a few years ago.

The DH and I both have official and unofficial "If I get hit by a bus" stuff in order. We have wills and power of attorney forms filed and living wills. This is all recommended by State, since they are sending us to random places that may have high violence, interesting diseases, and terrorists who want to kill us.

But none of the official guidance takes into account how much of life is digital now, so he keeps a spreadsheet of passwords (not that I know the password to his computer, but I know people who know people who could get me in) and I use LastPass and he has both the password to that and my computer passwords. He'll never be able to access my phone for contact info, but my son can.

He's aware he needs to notify the Buffistas if I die.

I also have an "If I get hit by the lottery" file at my job.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So I guess I'm asking, Does everybody have a "if I died tomorrow my estate (such as it is) would not be a horror show for my surviving family members (including passwords)" file or folder designated as such?

I do not but I'm aware that I should.

Hey. New board.

A large portion of my important personal documents are save in Lastpass, and I have family sharing set up with many family members.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This sounds exactly like an escape room I played a few years ago.

Bonus: The safe was in the basement, but an unfinished portion behind a weird small door, with a padlock (fortunately not locked) on it, set in the concrete floor.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Ugh, Tim tested positive for Covid. There have been a lot more cases at his work, where those assholes don't wear masks regularly (although Tim always does). Anyway. His symptoms are basically like a cold or sinus infection right now, but his doctor, who is extremely vigilant with Tim's health, wants him to go get an infusion of the monoclonal antibody treatment, since Tim takes immunosuppressants. Which is a smart idea.

I made an appointment to get tested tomorrow (the soonest I can get tested). Since Wednesday, I've had what I assumed was a cold, but I guess we'll see.

God damn it.

Oh damn Steph. I hope it passes quickly and easily.

So far, it just seems like a cold, so I hope it stays that way.

Silver lining is, once he's negative, he can go back to working days, since he was working second shift to try to avoid getting Covid.

Thanks, Assholes of Ohio! Fuckers.

It can take that turn ten days in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eep, hope Tim's case is super mild and you don't have it at all, Tep! Glad his doc has a treatment to try
