Congrats! We always had issues in the old house coming up with $700 to fill the oil tank. Inevitably we would loose heat at night and wake up pissed off at the world. The new house is on electric so progress! It’s the worst not being able to feel your toes.
My garage door shit the bed yesterday and I have NO IDEA as to how to fix it. 50 years old and this is my first garage and I feel idiotic.
look at all the moneybags over here keeping their heat at a comfortable temperature. we're set at 62 at the moment.
I feel like I've made it as an adult, now that I can set my heat how I want it. It's usually 72 in the winter.
I grew up with either no heat, heat during the good years, or a fire burning stove. However, I was able to turn off all A/C for the last two months and my bill was cut in half. I didn't realize how much of the bill was from the HVAC system. It's set on 70 this winter and I'm wearing clothes :/

I keep it at 65 from 8pm - 9am. It then lives around 70-71. Also have a fireplace which I would prefer to the heat, but I need it to be swept before we can use it. The cover on the roof flew off during Ida and I think birds made a nest at one point. I only want a fire in the fireplace, not one that can burn down the whole house.

When I and one of my best friends were roomies fer a few years, and we had shit jobs, we didn’t turn the heat on until the temperature in the house was below 60! And we would steal a lot of firewood from gas stations, too.
Currently my wife has our heat set to 67, just like LD. I never much mind the cold, as long as it’s not brutal. But fuck I hate the heat. Like anythin’ past the 80s is just awful.
It's like playing Russian Roulette with walking into my room. If it is a sunny day, it gets boiling hot in the afternoon but if they never turn on the heat (took them a full month of nagging) - it's an ice box. Then when we tell them that it would be great if you put the timers to 2-6.... they put it on at 2-6pm, therefore the hottest part of the day. So I have to have the fan/AC on to survive in here. I feel like they are trying to do every shitty thing to get us to move out honestly.
edit: context, My desk is in front of three thin paned windows with black out curtains. I routinely open the window on the the right side too because no air moves to the back of the room.

75 today. It’s damp and rainy and 40s. I want heat in the apartment.
bruh. You need slippers and a sweatshirt.
Haha. I got a jacket on and shorts inside and there’s still a chill up in here. I don’t want to crank it up more - except I kind of do. I’m usually okay once we get a few weeks into cold. But until then I’m a bitch.

I went to Walmart to get a couple plain sweatshirts without hoods or whatever. They didn't have any in men's or women's in my size, but husky XL boys for the win! I got two for $7 each. I don't ever get used to it, I am in slippers, joggers, wool socks, sweatshirt and when on the couch under my blanket too. Heat was on 70 until 8p, it's currently set to 65. I am ready for the temps to raise 20 degrees already.

I think it’s Tuesday til we get back to the 60’s. You’re in my boat but under covers. Haha. My mom used to do that shit with the thermostats though. She was a depression era child. So even though my dad was a lawyer, and so we weren’t poor, she was a nazi about coupons and energy bills and shit. It was 68 in the winter and 78 in the summer. I prefer the mid 70’s as a compromise for both.

My mom set some weird habits for me, the thermostat is one for sure. thejeremy will crank that shit down in the summer if I am not home. Drives me crazy. I don't say shit because I know with his MS he gets really hot easily. The winter is a different story, he doesn't like to be cold like that so 71 is fine. LOL
Asking for a friend, how many times is a normal number to cry uncontrollably in a work shift because your job is killing your soul?
How long is your friends shift? 0 if its < 8 hours. 1 if its >8. (I cant do anything for more than 8 hours without crying anyway) I feel for you. Is it a necessity you stay at that job? Any alternatives? Work is a crappy enough concept without feeling like your soul is being sucked out of you.

Most shifts are 8 hours, I have like 1 10 hour every other week. It's always been an annoying job but the pay was really good and the coworkers are amazing. only recently Has it gotten super duper soul killing. I haven't been able to find anything yet that would pay anywhere close to what I'm making here. Once I do though I'm def out of here without looking back.

My mom has had a meningioma in between her brain and her skull for a few years, it was discovered during a scan for something else and her doctors have been on a "wait and see" and checking it every 6 months since she wasn't having any symptoms. It started slowly growing so they did radiation a while back, and it seemed to stop the growing.
But last month she started experiencing neurological symptoms due to swelling in the area, so they put her on a buttload of steroids and antiseizure medication. We thought things would be improved but even though the swelling stopped her neurological symptoms have gotten worse.
It fucking sucks how quickly my mom has gone from being her normal self to being a shell of herself, in just a matter of weeks. I hope we can get her back.
They've done a million scans and medication switches but nothing is clear or conclusive. I'm pissed at her doctors for not just removing it when it was found like she wanted them to do, because she wasn't experiencing any symptoms (My reply to that was... "are they WAITING for you to have symptoms?!")

Just needed to barf all that out somewhere.
I’m so sorry you and your family are dealing with this! That sounds so scary and awful. Sending lots of love and hope like hell that she gets back to herself.

Well cool, they don't have an appointment with her neurosurgeon for 3 weeks. My dad thinks maybe that means it's not (medically) urgent and is a good thing, but the situation is definitely urgent to us and I'm pissed they won't have any answers in the meantime. The healthcare system is such a joke.

Well, I just made a 5-inch crack in the face of my Taylor acoustic guitar. I was playing for the baby when the dog started going nuts at something outside the window. I jumped up to calm her down and, in the process, banged the guitar on something. I knew it was cracked the second I heard the impact.
Ugh, this sucks. I know it’s just, like, a *thing*, an object, but I’ve had that guitar for 20 years, I went into debt for it when I bought it because I loved it so much, and it’s been a part of my life for so long. Most every song I’ve ever written, I wrote on that guitar.
I’ll probably be able to get a patch job, although, to add insult to injury, my old go-to luthier, Rudy’s Music Stop in Manhattan, who were absolute geniuses at acoustic guitar maintenance and repair, is out of business, now. But the instrument won’t ever be truly whole, again, and that is hitting me kind of hard right now. And I have no one to blame but myself and my carelessness. Ugh.

Fuuuck that sucks. So much of yourself has gone into that guitar, so to see it damaged must hurt. Here’s to hoping you can find a competent luthier to make her nice and pretty again.
