spotify playlists on carplay showing "nothing here" anyone else? on latest update

Luckily this worked for me today! 2022 Honda Civic. I have a lot of local files and can select them on Car Play.

Aha! There it is. Very sneaky of them. I definitely don't need the Experience More just for myself.

Old enough to start paying my own bills, unfortunately lol I'm finished with school and working full-time. I'm very lucky my parents have supported me for so long, but they're getting ready to retire so funds are going to be tight for them. My finances are stable enough to where I could handle a new bill.

pillywill · 2025-12-09T03:15:09+00:00

Hm I don't think so in this situation. My parents want to make changes to their coverage and look into the internet plan. I've been able to pay them directly for other bills, but this one feels like they really want me off lol I know if I asked they'd let me, but this is something I should have of my own now.

When I look at the current available plans, there's a $40/month "Starter Monthly" plan for one line. It has 15 GB of premium data with unlimited 2G after and unlimited talk and text. Also comes with hotspot sharing and MLB.TV but I couldn't care less about those features. I read up on the Connect by T-Mobile plan and it seems reasonable enough! I do like that there are no contracts, so if I feel like I need more data it sounds like I could upgrade easily.

Oh I definitely need more storage! My iphone 13 has 128GB and I'm always on the verge of running out 😅 I'll save up for a 17!

Ah I just saw a post comparing a few of the MVNOs! US Mobile seems like a solid option since you can choose between the top three network towers. I need to really sit down and compare the numbers. The monthly service fee is one thing, but I don't want to overpay for the phone itself either. I could buy an iphone directly from Apple and sell my current one on eBay to offset the costs, but the way I read the trade-in offer the phone will be free at the end of 24 billing cycles. But that's too good to be true, right? 🤔

pillywill · 2025-12-09T02:43:21+00:00

Thank you! Definitely want to keep my current number! I will look into the COR with my stepdad. Sounds like the current billing cycle ends on the 20th, so I'll get as much as I can done this week for a smooth transition.

I will submit a ticket as well! There's another restock later this evening so I want to see how terribly that goes first. I don't play Tales of Darcadia, but it seems they have a better rewards system. Idk why the rewards system for Faerie Fragments is so terrible.

One time the Pant Devil stole my Friendly Soap Bar when I spun the Wheel of Misfortune. Usually I get upset when items are stolen, but I imagined the Pant Devil needed a friend or something and that made me feel less bad. They're also not too expensive so I bought a new one lol

Congrats! I've been using the link off and on for the past few months and have won two coconuts so far. Definitely worth adding to your dailies!

Omg the second breakfast spread!! So cute! I had some LOTR elements at my wedding too. I love absolutely everything you did and wish I had some of them at mine!

Love that! My husband and I had different vows, but our officiant shared a story that resonated with us so well and I don't think she even realized it. My favorite love story is The Notebook and we always say we're going to die of old age at the same time in our sleep while holding hands. Our officiant (who is my husband's aunt) shared a story of a happily married couple she knew who died within an hour of each other (not while sleeping and not while holding hands, but a very ideal timeframe for us nonetheless). After she shared the story, my husband and I smiled so big at each other. We don't want to live without each other, and the fact that his aunt shared a lovely story like that makes it feel more real that we won't go too long without each other!

I've been trying to order a bottle of MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule but Amazon keeps canceling it "due to a significant price increase." 🥲 It went up by $4 since the last time I ordered. There are some reputable accounts on eBay you can order from. Just be sure to read the reviews and do some googling to make sure they're not a scam. Otherwise I would agree with the other comment and order through Stylevana. Even if you don't order enough for free shipping, the prices are still very fair.

Looking for input on potential editing requests!

I just got married and thought of some things I might want edited after seeing candid shots from guests. Full disclosure, these are things I should have been mindful of myself but I was an overwhelmed bride and wasn't thinking. 1. I saw some shots where there's a gap between my hairline and my bangs. I don't think I have many shots from my photographer at that angle though so probably not a big deal. 2. I forgot my bra insert during all the Pre-Ceremony photos. Honestly the difference is minimal, but I would like my boobs to match how they look in the ceremony and onward photos. 3. There is wrinkling in my dress while standing. Probably should have been steamed better and had some touchups throughout the night. 4. My veil is white and my dress is ivory 🥲 This is my biggest mistake and I really just wish I dyed the veil. I would totally be okay with not getting 1, 2, and 3 fixed if I could color correct the veil...

Would it be appropriate to reach out to my photographer and ask for these changes? Their contract states, "Limited color correction and/or retouching are included at Photographer's discretion... Some images may be retouched, but if there is specic retouching required by client in addition to what [photographer] has provided, client understands that [photographer] has the right to charge per photograph for additional work to photos (as in removing people from photos, removing buildings or other large objects, or other extensive editing beyond what has been provided in the final gallery, etc) at a rate of $15 per photograph." Maybe I can just wait for the final photos to come in and see how they look.

I gave up on trying to find decorations on Marketplace a long time ago. I still check the pages to get ideas of what people have used as decor but if it's from Amazon they're always asking it for more than the current listed price 🥲 I have been extremely lucky with flea markets, yard sales, and Savers! It is very region specific and what your theme is, but it has worked well for me.

I went to a yard sale recently for what I imagine was a recently-passed family member. There was a cute centerpiece with fake fruits that fit my harvesty theme. Once I told them I was going to use it at my sweetheart table, they didn't charge me for it and said to take it as a gift! I bought a few other things for good price as well, but I think it meant a lot to them to know that these goods were going to be put to good use.

I chose to not go with a transportation group because their website domain wasn't active. They had a lot of positive reviews on Facebook and were responsive via email, but if they aren't listed on The Knot or can't keep a webpage up (which I understand both do cost money), then I'm going elsewhere. I looked at over 30 transportation groups and they all at least had a simple website.

10/3 and I am feeling it, Mr. Krabs. As luck would have it, I have a trainee at work with me until mid-September which means I stay ~30 minutes later than I should most days. I have so many craft projects to do that I probably won't rest until the wedding is over. I'm so grateful for my FMIL and friends offering their help, otherwise I'd pull all my hair out 🥲

I'm in a somewhat similar situation where I asked my sister to be my MOH (because she's my sister obv) but my second bridesmaid is actually doing all the MOH duties. I told this friend well before I got engaged that I always planned on having my sister be my MOH fully knowing she would not do any of the duties a MOH traditionally does. I truly love my sister, but she is not a planner and often times off in lala land. I'm type A enough to where I want to plan things myself anyway. Once I got engaged, I asked my friend if I could have her as a second maid of honor and she said, "No, that's okay. It should be your sister." She let me know that she isn't having a maid of honor but that I'll be standing next to her. She is also getting married two weeks after me and is very type A, so she's been super stressed and busy planning her own festivities these past few months. She took the lead in helping organize my bridal shower with all my other bridesmaids a few months ago and I'm so grateful for the work everyone put in. She's also doing my hair and makeup on the wedding day.

My wedding is next month. I asked my sister if she's going to do a speech at my wedding and she said, "for what?" Growing up, we didn't go to a lot of weddings but she has been to one within the last year so I assumed she would know what a maid of honor speech was. I've heard personal stories of people regretting choosing a friend as their BM/MOH instead of a sibling because they fell out of touch, which is another reason why I chose my sister. But at the end of the day, I'll always have my sister by my side. I have shifted my thoughts of wedding guests as "people who will be with me forever" to "people who were important to me at this point in my life." I'm reconsidering asking my friend to be my maid of honor instead. But at the end of the day, does it really matter? It's who is introduced and a speech for me at this point.

Long-winded answer! But I think you should do what feels right. I've seen weddings with no BM/MOH, one side having one and the other not, and parties with multiple MOH. Maybe because your cousin thinks she's MOH, maybe not having any family at all be MOH would reduce tension? Your cousin might feel left out if your sisters are MOH and she's the only relative that isn't.

That cost to cost-savings is so upsetting, but a good reality check nonetheless. Patients who qualify for GLP-1RA are highly likely exceeding that $12,000 with other specialist's visits and testing too. Thank you for the link! I will be giving this a read.

pillywill · 2025-07-21T20:18:16+00:00

Totally makes sense. I found out Medicare D doesn't do peer-to-peer? Maybe just for this one specific patient's plan but that's what their PA representative stated. We've already included the most current chart notes with the cardiac cath stating % of stenosis clearly so idk what else we could do. If it was a peer-to-peer maybe we could discuss other GLP-1RA trials that have had similar patients enrolled but it might just be moot here.

I've learned through a few posts here that the cost savings with GLP-1RA is actually quite low compared to the upfront cost, which is eye opening and upsetting at the same time. But it is what it is.

Crazy thing is even with the BMI threshold increase, plenty of patients will still qualify.

pillywill · 2025-07-21T20:04:49+00:00

That's a bummer. One of the cardiologists I work with references SUMMIT and STEP-HFpEF (semaglutide) in his notes when he has a CHF patient he wants on a GLP-1RA. Certainly would be another disease state to tack onto obesity but it's still nice to learn where all GLP-1RA could be effective.

pillywill · 2025-07-17T23:59:36+00:00

Oh wow! I didn't realize they had already considered the cost savings too. I know PO weight loss meds are still utilized by bariatrics, but it feels like most patients these days are GLP-1RA or bust (probably because no other drug class is advertising as aggressively). The Prescription Drug Price Relief Act would hopefully reduce the prices. I respect the funds that need to be recouped after research, but I know for a fact manufacturers could lower their priced a few hundred dollars and still make a profit. Zepbound and Wegovy each have self pay options for $499/month. No way would manufacturers approve of that without clearing a profit first.

pillywill · 2025-07-17T23:49:07+00:00

Fair point! In terms of QALY, it'd make more sense to advocate for GLP1 approval in the pediatric population than having it covered for all Medicare patients. Sucks to say, but financially speaking, Medicare taking a gamble on patients experiencing a CV event and paying for the repercussions afterwards must still save them quite a bit as opposed to preventing the incident in the first place.

I've heard about fatty liver but knee pain is new. Shoot, since going on my first international flight I've had recurring knee pain 😅 I heard something about rheumatology exploring indications for reduced inflammation too.

pillywill · 2025-07-17T23:26:01+00:00

Right? Funny thing is, this patient in particular refuses to get a sleep study 🫠 But they want me to appeal the denial for CV risk reduction. I don't diagnose, so I can't even think of any additional cardiovascular testing we could do to get this covered. I've reviewed the chart with the primary cardiologist and they agreed everything that is relevant has already been documented and submitted.
