My sister can get into my phone but beyond that I need to do better on this. My dad has a sheet with dozens of passwords recorded, and he had me added directly to his checking and savings accounts last year.

I definitely need to get my passwords written down somewhere my mother can find them in case of emergency.. Luckily, I know all of hers already.

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Steph. Hope Tim's case is mild.

Did not sleep well last night. Woke up several times for no reason(either that, or I dreamed I woke up a lot and looked at the clock, in which case-what the hell, brain?). Also Mr. S has been whiny a lot today, and has had a few meltdowns. sigh...

Can I just note how crazy viruses are? My uncle ended up in the hospital last week with Influenza B, and I don't know how the hell he caught it, not doing anything, and I really don't know how his wife and son didn't also get it!

Speaking from experience, make sure that you're STILL on your parent's accounts. My mom moved her accounts to a different branch of her bank and in the process I was dropped from her accounts. Had to get the lawyer involved to get access to her safe deposit box to get at an official copy of her will. Which took more time and yet another trip home at a time I was already stressed out.

Lots of health~ma to Tim and Steph and Hil's aunt and uncle and frankly, everyone.

My husband and kids all know my usual passwords and how to get into my computer which has all my lists. They can all get into my phone too, although they usually hold it out for me to fingerprint open it because they are lazy.

Vaccines here are mostly being distributed by Publix, most likely because of corruption and favoritism from DeSantis. I go nowhere, except to the grocery pickup spots and my SIL's to get my nails done. Not an essential worker by any stretch of imagination. I'll just wait until I make it to the top of the county queue that I signed up for weeks ago. Who knows, maybe it will be after the one dose variety is available.

There have been a lot more cases at his work, where those assholes don't wear masks regularly (although Tim always does).

That is infuriating. I hope Tim recovers easily and that you managed to escape infection, Tep.

I mean, that's how I got Covid (with bonus hyponatremia and seizures) too. So I've already got the furious on tap. Thanks, non-Soldier coworker! I hope your unmaskedness was worth it.

Ugh, Tim tested positive for Covid.

Oh, no! I am so sorry. Sending you both all the health vibes. Stay mild, Tim's Covid, stay mild. And that you don't have it.

They have shakers of brewers' yeast (same thing, basically) at movie theatres in Milwaukee and it drives me nuts you can't find it anywhere else. Back when movie theatres were a thing, you know.

Cool. I have never seen that!

Longtime dream of mine is to buy an old theater and convert it into a home and small theater for old movies.

Which is to say, I’ll have it there should it ever happen.

That is an awesome dream. I would like to go to there.

Dana, it kind of tastes like Parmesan cheese? Or that's how I think of it.

Yes, to me, it tastes cheesy. Yum.

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?

No, but now I have a new project! Matt can get into my phone, so contacting people, getting into FB and e-mail are within reach. Still, who knows -- my phone might go with me (you know, in the crypt, with my terra cotta army) so would be of no use to him. Yeah. I need to make a document and share it on Drive.

I hope your aunt and uncle are doing well, Hil.

Enjoying watching the snow fall. Well, technically, not snowing right now, but still.

share it on Drive

I am not that trusting of online infrastructure or security.

Have an offline physical backup of some sort.
