So Stressed!



 Hello all  well here's the story for the week. I am so mentally stressed out. This week and last week has been nothing but doc's appointment. I am trying to coordinate my surgery with my partners. I have mine first and his is last. That means doctors and hospital visit before hand with a lot of medical instruction and medications. We have been running so much  we both are mentally and physically tired.

I use to have faith in the medical profession  now not so much. I see that the hospitals and doctors  are lacking compassion and organizations. Everything now is do it yourself from  making sure you get all your medical documents in order  so   all your doctors and specialist get what they need. To making sure your insurance company  get's their paper work so that you will not get a big medical  bill. Stress on top of stress.  Medical situations is now a do it yourself job. My how times have changed.

I will be glad when this is all over we both need a vacation and no more medical problems god willing.

Expensive Feburary



 Hello all well here's the story so far. February for me has been an expensive month. Here's the breakdown. First I was told that my rental unit need shiny wood floors  so when  people come in to look at it to rent. It will rent faster this is coming from a rental agent that I wanted to use to rent my house. I got a quote and the floors plus some other things will cost me $1000. I have to have surgery and the cost out of pocket for me will be $750. ( thank god for insurance if not my surgery would be costing me $30,000. wow!!!) My car broke down repairs cost $1400. You see where I am going here. I am glad that the months almost over that way maybe in march I could save a few dollars.

Love this Show

Hello All..

Here's the story for the week. I am hooked on Watching Downtown Abby it's a pretty good show. I get on channel 21.1 on my tv. I have been driving myself crazy and here's why  I have to have surgery in March and before I do that I need to have a pre-surgery appt. From last Friday  the pre-surgery dept  called me to make one. When I called them back I get a machine.  The pre-surgery dept in the hospital where I need to go never calls you back. I have called 10 times and when they do call I am not home. So  what do they want me to do wait home all day to see if they will call or not. I don't think so.

Then the pre-surgery dept had the nerve to call my surgeon to tell them they have a hard time getting incontact with me. Well if you return one of my 10 voice mails we would have no problems. I tell you our health care places have gone to H*ll. What do you think?  

That's my story so what do you think?

Few Things



Hello all well here's the story so far. The Post office sucks. I send a package in December and get it returned to me in January. The package is damaged and the contents are no where to be found. I shipped a video game to someone. When  I went to complain about the package the  postal guy asked me if I had insurance. I told him no. So he said sorry I am Sh** out of luck.  To say I was mad would not be correct I was hot! The postal service damaged my package  and admitted in writing they damaged it . Then they  had the never not to return it all to me. I just got the damaged case what happen to the game and booklet that was inside??? I fussed so much they allowed me to file a complaint now let's see if I get my money back. I seriously doubt it.


 Got the  results of my court case that I told you about. You know the one where my tenant sued me for her security deposit back. Well the outcome is  I only owed her $14.50 because her damage and the amount it cost me to fix her damage which was more then the $2000 deposit was a wash. The only reason I owe her $14.50 was because I had to pay for her court cost.  Which was $20 minus my court cost of $5.50 makes it $14.50 I owe her. I can live with that!

                                          Well that's my story so far what do you think?

Darn New York

 

Hello all well here's the story for the week. I just got an estimate on my property tax bill for 2020-2021. The house I am currently living in will be $9875.00 coming this year and next year's property taxes. That's a $2400. jump from last year. That's crazy.  This is why New Yorkers are leaving in droves  because of the high property taxes, quality of life, high food cost, rental cost  need I go on.

I can not at this point move so I have to go on a  tight budget.  So I can pay the bill when it comes due. Because if I don't between the water bill & property taxes if these are not paid the City of New York will take your house with a quickness. Time to start looking for cheaper places to live in the near future.

                                                  So that's my story what do you think?

Court

 

Hello all well here's the story for today. I am finally finished with my court issue. I went to small claims court yesterday because I had a rental tenant who wanted her security deposit back. So they took me to court. We went to an arbitrator  instead of a judge because if we had to wait for a judge we might not get seen until April sometimes. I felt that was way to long for  a case that's  under $5000.

So the arbitrator wanted to call it a wash I keep the security deposit and I would not charge the tenant for the last months rent  that she owed me plus the damages to the house she made. which happen to be more then her $2000 security deposit.  The tenant said no she wanted all of her security deposit back. So the arbitrator stated that they would send me a letter in 14 days of the decision. I said fine with me. I have gotten to the point that life is to short to argue over money.

No Plastic


Hello all where to start?   First I read where my Con Edison bill will be going up to about $20 extra this year. It sucks living in New York. I really live in the suburb's but it's all the same the prices of living in New York has gotten out of hand. I am paying $260 a month now for Con Edison which includes my Light & Gas but now I will be paying $270 and I am on a level billing plan. Is that crazy or what. What if I was on a fixed income I would be driving  myself crazy trying to find that extra $20 in my budget.

No plastic bags what is this! Come March 1th  2020 they are not giving out plastic bags in my grocery stores anymore. What no plastic what am I going to do when I buy groceries. The cashier told me bring my own bag. Now I have to make sure to bring bags with me everywhere. Really!
