Unexpected reunion
I posted an item on trash nothing and someone responded who wanted it. When she came to my house to collect the item, I discovered she was an old friend with whom I had completely lost contact. Thanks trash nothing for putting us back in touch.

Melt down avoided.
I was reaching desperation for a particular connecting cable, but with all stores closed, no chance ! A quick request on here and I had 3 rapid replies and got what was needed making another unusable item usable once more ! Thanks to all you users it is appreciated.
