Happy New Year, all. Our Favorite Sunday Columnist takes a look back at 2021, and doesn’t seem to be much amused by any of it. Grab some coffee and enjoy.
Understood. I pay my mortgage directly from my checking account. Some of my bills I pay by credit card – insurance, for example. I get points for those.
I know that I’m not necessarily the sharpest pencil in the drawer, so could someone use really small words, speak slowly, and ‘splain what this little midget is trying to foist upon us, once again. Advocating testing for the asymptomatic…..I thought that meant you didn’t know you had the ‘rona. And Brain-Freeze has already said his testing sites won’t be ready for three years. Does this mean we have to stay home some more?
Well, this is interesting. I talked to someone else who lives here in my Apt. complex and she got a notice that her lease was due in two months. There are changes. We now have to give them 60 days notice when we are going to move or pay two month’s rent. Also, they are going to start charging us for water which they have never done before. They said they were going to charge us for the water we use and then went on to say the amount would be determined by the number of bedrooms and people in the apt. They can’t charge by our usage because we don’t have individual water meters. Also, the complex has always included basic cable, and they are stop that. My guess is that our rent will also go up at the same time. We may be looking at $150 or $200 more.
My kids are in Montana now and want me to move up there. I have seriously been thinking of doing that, but figured they needed to get settled in a permanent home. They are in a rental now and looking for a place to buy. I figured they could get settled and then look for some place for me. So, it might be another year before I went. But, this change here might make it more urgent for me to make the change this summer.
My friend here is concerned about me moving to a place that has such cold winters. She has spent her whole life here in Florida. She actually grew up in the Miami area. I guess I figured the same way before I moved to Upstate NY. LOL. And, most of you here know almost all, maybe all, of my weather complaints are about the heat here, never the cold. I think I would manage it. After all, I would be with my son, DIL, and granddaughters.
Sounds like you may be forced to move. I hear that rental costs are skyrocketing, especially in Florida, so maybe your apartment management is pushing people out.

Mornin’ all ya’all! Wee’s weather is coming to us next. We already fell from the 60’s to 50’s and will go to 27* tonite if they are correct.
No snow, however. So here are some creative snow people for your entertainment. I laughed out loud several times.

I think it is just my rent. It costs more to pay it online. Also, they want to hook onto my checking account.
