but what about all those veterans in training (kids)? fire up those video games!
Dur, I admit it took me a while to get this. A bit slow on the uptake, I am. Have lost lots of brain cells somewhere along the way.
i'm operating on a different chemically induced level right now. been sleeping a lot, which is good. back to work tomorrow, not good. have to fight with the leave people as they took my short term leave for surgery off my intermittent leave that i use for chemo etc. not right! these people are incompetent. luckily my manager is being cool about it. think he knows i have 1 foot out the door & i do a real lot of work for him. also, i have never taken advantage of situation regarding the days off for medical stuff. he has had other employees that have totally gamed the system. i show up even when most people wouldn't.
Get Your Ashes Made Into A Vinyl Record When You Die
BY RIOT FEST / MARCH 23, 2017 / MUSIC
If you’ve always dreamed about having your own record, now you can actually be a record. UK artist Jason Leach’s company And Vinyly will press the cremated ashes of you or your loved ones into a vinyl record.
Leach says, “Personally, I would love to own a record of my great great grandfather for example on which I can listen to his voice, hear what he liked and the music and places that meant a lot to him. To hear the actual sound of someone’s voice exactly as they sounded, vibrating the air in my room, speaking of things that meant a lot to them all that time ago is profound and exciting to me. I love the idea of my future generations being able to fill their room with my voice in 200 years time by running a needle through the spiral groove of a record which I made for them from me.”
How much does something like this cost? About $3750 for 30 discs.
“When the album that is life finally reaches the end wouldn’t it be nice to keep that record spinning for eternity? Offers you the chance to press your cremated ashes into a vinyl recording your loved ones can cherish for years to come.
Basic Package – Up To 30 discs
Includes Standard R.I.V. artwork with your name, d.o.b. & d.o.d. on cover & labels.
The audio must be supplied by you. This can be music, a vocal recording or complete silence to let loved ones hear your pops & crackles and should be no more than 24 minutes. (12 minutes on each side with additional charge if you exceed this amount)
Price: £3000 (approx. $3756.35)
Please note that www.andvinyly .com accepts no responsibility for any copyright violations committed by material you supply.”
For an additional fee you can also get a custom painted album cover, or even music specifically written for you.
If you would still like to be buried when you die, body parts are accepted. Please cremate them beforehand.
Contemplating installing a towel warming rack in my small bathroom to save on space, and hopefully have nicer showers in the winter...but I'm not sure if they are worth it. They are not very common here in the States. Opinions? Overrated? A necessity? Help me decide if it's worth the bother, please.

They will act as a radiator & also warm the bathroom (if it's small). I've had them in previous places & the towels are gloriously warm when you use them

I think it depends on how much installation will cost and how much work will have to be done to your existing bathroom to get one put in.
We have them in our bathrooms because our apartment came with them. I like them, but I definitely don't feel they are life changing. One of them is too narrow, so you can't put a bath towel and a hand towel side-by-side. The other one is wide enough.
Pros: Warm towels, can be used in winter as a drying rack for wet mittens, scarves, etc., and as steve said, keeps the bathroom toasty.
Cons: You can burn yourself on them if you accidentally run into them (at least ours get that hot), just one more thing to break (we had boiling hot water and steam shooting out of ours once; resulted in a nasty burn to someone's hand)
If we didn't already have them and I had to pick and choose home improvements to make, I wouldn't bother. Just my two cents.
Thanks steve and @notkristie Very useful things to consider. I really like the idea...especially because this winter looks extra wicked. But I am actually concerned about burning myself (small bathroom!) and would I even remember to turn it on before my shower? Hmmm
Pretty sure you won't be able to get a serious burn off one unless it's broken like NK's If you opt for one that's plumbed into the central heating, you'll not need to worry about turning it on as it'll come on when the heating does. But if you already have a radiator in the bathroom, I wouldn't bother as you effectively already have a towel warmer. Electric ones are cheaper & you will need to turn those on but they don't take very long to heat up. Some even have a programmable timer switch, but timer plugs are also easy to come by & use if you go for a plug-in type.
Driving to Berlin tomorrow in my car. My friend wants a ride (her husband lives in Berlin), and I said okay...
Texted her earlier text and messenger, and she doesn’t reply. Sometimes she does that, when we have planned stuff, and she can’t manage it anyway. She is having angst and some other mental things.
I have decided, that if she doesn’t reply, I just go without her as I planned first...
Am I an arse, if I kinda hope she doesn’t reply?
I was looking forward to drive alone with the Cure on the player for all 7 hours driving... but if she comes, she pays half of the gasoline though...

Currently wondering when our flippin' elevator will be fixed. It's been 7 weeks.
I feel really badly for the guy who owns the unit above us, as he wants to put his place on the market. Nothing like trying to sell a 6th floor walk up.

What the heck?! All the tenants should get together and take $100 off each rental check until it gets fixed. The only way to punish the landlord for their inaction.

It’s now been 8 weeks. Problem is, sang, there is no landlord. We’re all owners, and it’s a self managed building, so there’s no management company to complain to. We’re going to discuss withholding payment to the elevator company now, though.

Def sounds like time to stop paying them maintenance fees if that’s what you all do. I hope no one in your building has a physical disability I’m sorry you’ve been waiting this long!
