Got It!

                                                                       Hello All

Well here's the story for the week. I called and got an appointment for the Covid 19 vaccination  shot for march. I was surprised because every place I tried to get a shot they said no appt was available. Glad me and my partner both were able to get an  appt, But I had to get a doctor's  note stating that I was a diabetic even before I could make an appt. Really I think if you have the  vaccine and you know we all need it.  Everybody no matter the age or heath condition, where you live, what you look like  we should  all get it. Without being put through the ringer first.  Anyway it's my  D**n Furnace again!!

My hot water was not working right. It gave me super hot burn you skin off water. So I called the furnace company to fix it. And you know they told me that I had a valve problem that  needed to be  fixed  at the cost of $600. Hey didn't I just pay you $1800 a minute ago for a coil for this darn thing??  This machine is not even 10 years old and already It's costing me a pretty penny.  I am so done with repair bills and fix up. You just don't know. 

                                              That's my story what do you think?

My Heart

                                                                         Hello all 

Well here's the story for the week. My heart goes out to the people living in Texas. Not only do they dealing with snow, ice and below freezing temperatures. They are also dealing with busted pipes that are now flooding their homes. It's crazy and true when they say life is so unpredictable. My heart goes out to them and my prayers.

                              

Been feeding the stray cats in my neighborhood. Between me and my neighbor who is also doing it. These strays are living the life. They have to nerve to pass on my less expensive cat food to eat the better food that my neighbor puts out. But they still need me because I give them water which they drink  quick fast. Oh well like my mother use to say when you get hungry even the less desirable food look good to you.

Well that's my story  what do you think?

Come On Now!!!

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. My shower was not getting any hot water. So I called my furnace company. Since my furnace provides my hot water. After several calls they  sent a man to look at it. The  repairman tells me that I need a new heating coil for the furnace.   and it will cost $1600!! Really that much? I said damn every time someone comes to fix something in this house it cost me over $500. Luck thing I had vacation money that  we did not use to pay for this fix, but what if I did not have the money. The furnace company would have had to put me on a payment plan which would have been $100 a month with no interest. That's why I say it pays to have a house emergency fund because you never know when your going to get an emergency.

If It had not been for my partners income I would have had to  wait to get the  furnace fixed, because I could not have afforded to pay for it without him.  If it was my only income I would have either  a few choices.  First  put me on a lower plan like $50 a month instead of $100 or  I could charge it to my credit card  and pay it out with the high interest rate  or  I could go with  out  hot water until I could find the money to pay for it. Crazy right. 

                                         So that's my story what do you think?

Darn You Snow

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. NYC got a lot of snow 18 inches. So you know what I had to do. Yes shovel 2 houses no less. First shoveling the first house the one I live in I fell in the snow and could not get back up. Snow was to deep. Thank god for my neighbor he came over to help me up.  My rental home I shoveled the next day and my neighbor next door bless her heart she's about 80 came over to help me. I kept telling her It's ok by she said no and helped anyway. She's Korean and don't speak or understand  English . But we get a long fine with the language barrier. She's so sweet.

So for 2 days of deep shoveling I am done. Also I got an estimate of my property taxes for both homes. One is $9768.00 the rental is $5700.00. That's close to $16,000 for property taxes for 2 homes in New York city. I really live in queens outside of the city. One is getting sold soon. I do not trust renting my second home out anymore. Especially with everything going on and people can not pay the rent  now for the places they are living in. So what chance do I have of getting a good tenant. Truthy I really don't want my rental to suck up all my saved cash. So she's gota go.

               Well that's my story for this week. Hope your staying safe and warm.

                                                          So what do you think?

Not Bad

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am waiting on all my information so that I can file my taxes. Why is it that company's are so slow to send out tax information. Knowing that the government needs it. I really look forward to doing my taxes this year Not! I know  I am going to owe Uncle Sam some money with the unemployment I been getting  and stock that was sold.

Speaking of stock sale I purchased dunking donuts stock years ago because I liked their coffee and they were popular.  I got a notice yesterday that somebody purchased all the company stock and therefore I had to sell my shares. The company went private. I looked at my bank statement and I had a nice deposit from the sale of the dunking donuts stocks. I  did not pay that much for it when I purchased it for about  $30 a share back then  it was selling for $106 last time I checked. So let's just say I made a nice profit on that.

It's cold in new York 20 degrees and I am trying to play catch-up with shredding all my papers and cleaning up . To be honest this first month of 2021 I am been pretty lazy.

                                               So what's my story what do you think?

Got It!

 

 Hello all well here's the story for the week. I got it! my $600 dollar stimulus check and here's what I spent some of it on. First I gave $100 to charity I feel if I am eating and I can I will give another  person or people  meals to. That's just me. I spent $8.99 on a  banana pie. I love Banana Pie. Did not get the cloth mask yet but I saw them 3 for $8.99 at my local drug store. On amazon they have the fancy cloth mask but they want to much for them. But I will be buying cloth mask soon. Lastly  I spent $10 on lottery tickets because who could pass up a chance to win 760 million  dollars. Heck I could win 2nd prize in Mega  Million or Powerball  and I  would be just as happy. The rest went into the bank for emergencies and house repairs. Oh yea I did  treat my partner to his  2 favorite things in the supermarket which cost me about $10.  Even though he got his own stimulus check.  So what have you done with your stimulus check?

Also good news all my check ups for the breast, throat, diabetes  all came back good. So I am happy about that Thank you lord!

                                                That's my story what do you think?

Happy

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am Happy! Here's why I just did my end of year finance report . I am happy to say that I am up a couple more dollars then I was last year. I also got a good heart rating from my doctor. I told you that  my heart doctors told me that my heart was not function has it should be. When I went to him this week he says the heart is better .  I thanked God for that.

Also I went grocery shopping this week and found some pretty good meat sales at my local  Stop & Shop. Chicken was 89 cents a pound. My sweet Italian sausages was 2  for $7. Which normally a pack would be $5-6 dollars.  So yes I am very happy and blessed.

Also I been feeding the stray cats and squirrels in the neighborhood. They are eating good everyday. I consider them my outdoor pets.
