We still haven't turned our heat on yet this year.
We are switching from AC to heater and back again about every other day right now. It was 46 this morning and it's in the high 60s now. I wish I didn't have to turn my heater on ever.
Lowest temperature I've ever experienced was -16, stepping out for a smoke in the Polar Vortex.
I've been in -40s wind chill for too many years. No fun. I'm from the Upper Peninsula of MI just north of you, to the tip, surrounded by Lake Superior. I think I may have mentioned it before, but I try to suppress those memories.
Dead Man Winter (Guitar Dave from Trampled by Turtles) and Strand of Oaks are playing Phoenix the same day in the Spring. My mind initially says oh I'll decide which one to go to by who i can see the most at festivals this summer. Oh wait...

Friend in Texas sent me a local article which has a mugshot of my drug addicted brother and a story about him being arrested. Between me and my older sister, we pretty much raised my niece and she still comes over almost nightly (she has been helping me everyday with the new house). He told her a bullshit story about how he got the current scars on his head at her college graduation on the 10th, and told me and my younger sister the "truth." The article is completely wrong, starting with his age...It really doesn't matter what is correct in the story he told us or the article because basically someone (probably me) will have to tell my niece and he will sit in jail since nobody is going to bail him out (it is set at $20,000). As if today wasn't already bad enough. All I can hope for is that he gets his shit together.

Sorry to hear this. Sendin' internet hugs.
Thanks. My niece came over very upset. We talked, it's better. He's out and hadn't called anyone. Basically, if my friend hadn't sent me the article we'd never known. He doesn't even know that we know! My brother is a jerk.
Everyday I search inforoo in hopes that maybe the fascist mods have come to their senses and unbanned The Big Capp Dogg, and every night I go to sleep sad and disappointed.
When will this nightmare end?
edit: Sorry, is nazi still considered a bad thing? Are you all nazi's now? I want to make sure I'm being insulting. Way things are going south of th boarder, I'm not sure where things are sitting... maybe I'll stick to fascists. Yeah, editing it to fascists.
ALL I WANT IS TO GET MY ANNUAL EXAM AND A RE-UP ON THAT SWEET SWEET BIRTH CONTROL.
WHY IS THAT SO HARD WHEN YOU HAVE MEDICAID!?
I really miss my old gynecologist.
Did you try Planned Parenthood? I got all my exams and birth control there for years.
Yeah, they're not in my network apparently.
I'm frustrated with my experience with Medicaid/NY Health Exchange in general. It's better than nothing and I'm grateful for any health insurance, but the coverage sucks, the premiums are sky high and the deductibles are even higher.

I didn't know they worked in/out of networks! When I went I had zero health insurance coverage, though, and they only asked for a donation (if I could afford it) when I left the office after a visit. They did me a solid many times over the years when I was in that space between being on my parent's coverage and finally getting my own.

I made my appointment online. After I entered my insurance info it said something along the lines of "This is out of your insurers network. You may have to pay an additional fee." Which is fine, except for the fact that on their website it says they work with my insurance fully. I'm assuming it's something weird with how NYS works with Medicaid through the exchange. My old provider wanted me to ditch my doctor and go to PP just to get my BC covered by Medicaid exclusively. Since using the state health exchange, I've had 4 different plans and only one was actually affordable. So over this whole insurance business. I just want to make sure I have a healthy cervix and all that. Maybe get an IUD.

Gosh that sounds confusing. Maybe give them a call?
I sent in my notice of 30 days to my landlord on December 23rd, through certified mail. She didn't sign for it and didn't go and pick it up from the post office. As per my expired lease (which makes me month to month now) I did everything in that she requested to give my notice. She started hounding about the rent yesterday and I asked if she got my 30 days notice with the pro-rated amount that I would be paying. She basically bitched me out in the text messages about how she didn't get the notice and that I have to pay the full moth for January. I have proof on my side. I have all the paperwork and I have the USPS screenshot showing that she got a notice of certified mail.
She finally apologized, said that she found my notice and made it like she was accepting that I am moving on the 23rd and taking the pro-rated amount.. at least until this morning. She is now saying that I still owe her money, that she does not agree with the pro-rated amount and I owe her for the whole month. I know that she is going to try to withhold it from my deposit, and now I have to send ugly text messages threatening to take her to court if she withholds my deposit. . I am trying not to be a complete asshole and just cancel the check, tell her to fuck herself and to just keep the deposit, but I know all she has done is: 1. prove to me that she doesn't have the mortgage for the rental which is why she is freaking out about the me paying the whole month and 2. she definitely will not have my deposit and is going to do everything in her power to not give it to me, and definitely withhold what she feels is the remainder of the rent.
I have lived in a rental where the landlord refuses to fix anything (including termites and a leaking roof) and does not allow me to fix anything and take the cost of the rent. I am so ready to move out and all she is doing is stressing me the fuck out and pissing me off.

What's the difference between two? If it's not that much, you may have to bite the bullet and let it go, for the sake of your sanity.

The deposit is $1050 and the prorated amount is $780, leaving $270 that she is telling me I still owe. So she is going to try to hold the $270 and then anything else out of that $780 that is left over. I am not letting $1050 go. I will take her ass to court. I have the screenshot from the USPS, I have the certified mail receipt, I have a copy of my lease. I have everything that she has said and threatened me with in text messages and the proof that I have told her multiple times that I have termites and a leaking roof. New Orleans is all about tenants and don't side with landlords 90% of the time. Plus, if I take her to court and win she will also have to pay my court fees. My landlord thinks she can bully me and pressure me into giving up. She obviously knows nothing about me and has no idea who she is fucking with. My best friend is also a property manager so I made sure that I was all on the up-and-up before I even put in my notice.

Thought it might be a small amount and not worth the fight. But that is definitely worth it. Just try not to stress too much over it and give her hell.
Sad we don't have any lawyers on this board that could give you some advice.

I am trying not to stress too much out of it, but I am a dweller and it is hard to let shit go. All I can constantly think is, who even says it doesn't matter if you sent in the notice as per the lease and you have to pay the full month? Especially to a tenant that has taken better care of your property than the landlord and is doing everything the right way. How many other people would just not pay last month's rent, trash the place and gtfo? It is very frustrating. And I honestly don't want to go to court but fuck I am not letting go of my money just to avoid dispute.
