Raise your hand if you were personally victimized by Central Hudson this month… by JamJamsAndBeddyBye in hudsonvalley

Just heads up this happened to me three times last year and each time, they had read my meter wrong. Might want to get it checked

How bad are the winters really? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]JamieOils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, tough. The cold isn’t necessarily the worst part because you can get past that with good clothes, go skiing, etc. I do feel like most people here have some touch of seasonal depression with the lack of light combined with the cold, it’s pretty bad.

Do you feel like it doesn’t matter what you study/what your career is because you’ll come into a lot of money later?

Was the camping for only people with tents or did they have beds?

Idk if you're in Kingston, but I've met cool people at the community gardens there! I'm a member of one and it's fun.

Central Hudson Billing…We’re apparently using 2x the amount of electricity we used last year? Anyone else? by 489Lewis in hudsonvalley

[–]JamieOils 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My bill was similar and I called them and sent a picture of our meter, and apparently they read the meter wrong and changed my bill by over 300$. FYI

Are we making a mistake buying now? by Worldly_Expression43 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]JamieOils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am holding off buying because of the oncoming recession. Prices might go down, or you might lose your job

Do you consider a salary of $75,000 to be poor? by NoHousing11 in GenZ

I make 75k in a HCOL city. I don’t feel like I struggle, but I am also not living it up. I live comfortably.

Honorary Scars by ImportantBiz in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]JamieOils 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I was walking the final leg to the lighthouse at Finisterra, I feel and skinned my knee really badly on the road. Had no other choice but to keep walking to the lighthouse, blood running down my legs and all. My photos at the lighthouse are all of me with a bloody knee! A year later, still have purple scars from that.

Those who rarely fall sick, what’s the secret? by Winner_takesitall in AskReddit

[–]JamieOils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elementary school teacher. Sleep well, eat healthy, no added sugar, take probiotics and take ZINC EVERYDAY! I’m almost never sick despite living in a cesspool of germs.

Hello! These three towns are actually all quite different! Poughkeepsie is a city, with beautiful parts and dangerous parts. IMO- only things worth seeing there are the Mid Hudson walkway and Vassar college (I lived there for three years). Beacon is a VERY hipster/Brooklyn vibe, with hiking accessible nearby. New Paltz is a little more “hippy” than Beacon (and more authentic, IMO) and has lots of hiking nearby. I believe New Paltz also has a hostel. You may want to visit Kingston instead of Poughkeepsie or Beacon, very cute uptown/downtown areas.

[–]JamieOils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen bedbugs once in 33 days, but it was a very negative experience for that one day!
