TauntonBlizzard2013

Gas has been pinned at 4.39 at the station near my house for well over a week now., even with crude dropping over 30 dollars a barrel. You can bet if it rose 30 dollars a barrel they couldn’t get those price hikes out fast enough, but now we can’t even get a small decrease

I’ve got about 35% of my propane left. I usually fill up in the spring but this year I’m going to roll the dice and probably wait until late summer or fall

Right place, right time in my case for sure. We bought in March 2019. Paid 405k…. And the value of the house has skyrocketed ever since. A couple houses on my street have sold in the last year. First house on my street had an open house in October. 18 offers by that evening, all over asking. It’s insane. My wife and I could never afford to buy now , so we consider ourselves very fortunate

My house is “valued” at over 600k right now, and we owe 265k on it. So even if housing prices tank, it’s pretty unlikely we would be underwater. Regardless, we are pretty happy to stay here for the long haul. I’m happy to just have the mortgage taken out every month. Set it and forget it.

I think it’s just incompetence for the most part. Her benefits took almost a month to kick in, so we were trying to get that money that she was owed. Someone made a mistake, and clicked the wrong “button” or whatever, and instead of getting a check for what we missed we get a demand letter saying we owe 15k in overpayment immediately. Of course, as is the case now, it took hours and hours to get ahold of an actual person, who was probably hired 10 minutes ago, and didn’t know what to do. And when it’s escalated to a supervisor, they admit they know what happened, but there is nothing they can do to fix it. it’s a pretty helpless feeling. We had to fight to prove the mistake they made was actually their mistake. Over a year later, and threats of tax intercepts and the whole lot, it got worked out, but not before it caused us a ton of grief. My wife is just happy it’s over, and understandably so, but I told her now that this is settled we should circle back and try to recover that month of payments she’s entitled too. Now I’m pissed off and want to get every penny we are due.

So I remember posting about my wife’s unemployment issue here a few times where the state suddenly was requesting 16k back in unemployment she received in 2020. After fighting tooth and nail for over a year now she finally got a letter from them admitting they made a mistake and they are not going to be collecting that money. Absolutely ridiculous, but glad it got sorted out in the end

We spring. Warmed the soul to have the sun out later last night

Bob, Matt and I were talking about this last week. Definitely have heard a few here on the edges of the hockomock. Theyll become very vocal pretty soon.

Pants tent spring week coming up

About an inch here. Pretty nasty out… roads are a mess

Nasty out. Snowing hard.. roads and grass coated up

Bare root 12-24” https://www.michiganbulb.com/product/lynwood-gold-forsythia-hedge?p=0819680&pid=73426&gclid=CjwKCAiAg6yRBhBNEiwAeVyL0Fz2O3-E-oUMZUTvhEEQfxwisxPylfrYM59ui7Vio7MQDVSg0hsM4hoCiQwQAvD_BwE instructions are sparse

I don’t… or not really. If it won’t kill them, I’ll plant them

Gasoline should do the trick, but at 4.50 a gallon, use sparingly.

So if I get them next week plant em? Even if frost is coming?

Anyone have experience with bare root plants? I was looking at buying a couple bare root forsythia. When can those be planted and how fast do they grow?

Isn’t rising prices futures as well? If Brent rises today, why do prices rise today, but no vice Versa? The gas is already in the tank at the gas station. That gas isn’t costing more

Zzzzzz

Should be vaporized by about noon

I wanted to do it in the fall, but was never able to get around to it. Is this absolutely a no go in the spring? It needs to be done, badly.

2” 54.6” on the season

It’s absolutely maddening that when crude rises, prices at the pump rise the same day… when it drops like today, no movement. Guess they are only in a hurry to raise prices, not drop them

We’ve reached the point where it’s pretty much powderfreak and Phin talking to each other

Snowing pretty heavily in mattapoisett
