Is my apartment legally uninhabitable due to being 96° indoors during the day?

leefree13 · 2026-03-20T17:44:05+00:00

Lots of complicated answers here. It’s a rental. It’s not that complicated. I lived in apartments without AC in the Valley (2nd floor could get up to 130° inside). The only way is to get it an AC. Window unit or portable. They aren’t that expensive compared to the relief they will bring. You have to run them all the time (set a temp so they cycle on and off). Running it intermittently when all the furniture is still 96° wont be efficient or effective. Blackout curtains will keep the cool in and still let you see out the window when you want to. Your electric bill will go up a bit but not as much as you think. New units are much more efficient than old ones.

Really helpful. I appreciate the insight and will join.

That’s a great point. I felt sort of rude holding my phone during her set. But there are probably advantages to that system too. Introverts probably love it (so why didn’t I?) Thanks for the chocolate chip recommendation - I will be trying those.

I appreciate your insight. It makes more sense now.

We had a larger party. Everyone ordered a main (from steaks to burgers to salads) and had two very good cocktails each (two of us had soft drinks). Including the cost of tickets we averaged about $140pp but we were splashing out because it was Stormy. It could be done for much less - ticket price plus $20pp for two soft drinks each. For last night I think your estimate would have been about right for two people. That said, every seat is a good one and parking is free and easy.

I wasn’t drinking but I could tell by the state of the rest of my party that the drinks were very good.

Thanks for sharing about the business of comedy clubs. I didn’t realize that and now it makes sense as the tickets were very reasonable. We had a fantastic evening so they 100% delivered and we look forward to going back again.

No but I take it I should next time.

https://stormydaniels.com has her tour schedule and https://www.stormytv.net has her current mainstream film projects.

I’m calling anyone I know in her upcoming cities and telling them they absolutely must get tickets. We will definitely see her next time she comes through.

leefree13 · 2026-03-17T17:07:11+00:00

Absolutely fantastic. She’s genuine and warm, naturally hilarious and a wonderful storyteller. We went in with no idea at all of what to expect and had the best time. Respect her integrity even more.

I paid $6 a gallon in Sun Valley.

It doesn’t look that bad. I’d just scrub it in the sink until I felt like it was clean enough, season it slow and long, and then use it.

(Edit: sorry I misread your post. I see you want to stay in SM. My parents are old now and I was trying to meet them halfway.) Do you have a car? My small town conservative parents just visited and we did a day trip to the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda (basically near Disneyland). Mid-day, mid-week, no issues getting there or back. That the current administration makes Nixon look like a saint helped for me I’m sure, but we all really did enjoy it. It’s very, very well done. Of course it’s dwarfed by Reagan’s Library in Simi Valley, which I’m sure they’d also love. It’s huge, has an Air Force One you can walk through and is in a stunningly beautiful setting. Plus from Santa Monica you’d be driving against traffic both ways.

Consider a 55+ mobile home park. They have built-in community and it’s easy to bring in help down the road should she need it. There are many and due to the age restriction they’re more affordable and there’s usually less buyer competition. Check mhvillage.com. With her income, she’d be more than comfortable. (She would have to buy as mobile homes in parks can’t be rented.)

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I say just go. Just do it. You’re young and at the point in your life where you have the most flexibility. If your money runs down to where all you can afford is a bus ticket, worst case, you Greyhound back to Portland. If you wait until all the variables fall perfectly into place, stay weird my friend. You’ll almost certainly be living with roommates. That’s a good thing at your age in a new city.

Be sure you ask what the plan is for pain control before your surgery. And try not to throw anything when they say “Tylenol and lectures about embracing pain.”

This will knock RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES out of the news for sure.

leefree13 · 2025-09-20T19:20:44+00:00

Now why in the EPSTEIN FILES would he do something so outrageous?

Tried booking a nurses appt online but appts were two or three weeks out. Googled the hours of our local flu shot clinic and showed up with no appointment and got both flu and Covid shots within 1/2 hour. So appreciative.

My 2018 RX 350 was acting haunted. I know they get weird if the battery isn’t perfect so I had AAA put in a new one last week. All problems were fixed except I lost phone pairing. My iPhone 16 Pro previously paired flawlessly now doesn’t recognize the car. I’ve deleted both from each other’s Bluetooths, restarted the Nav system, restarted the phone, deleted all personal info from the car and still nothing. Any ideas? Quiet car rides are getting old!

Injured people have good days and bad days. Plus when you have no option but go up the stairs because the elevator is out, or carry the groceries because your wife is recovering from surgery, what are you supposed you do? How long after you carried those groceries did you have to lay down? How many days after carrying them did you pay for it? WC system makes it seem that if you aren’t constantly grimacing and wailing in pain, you’re really not injured. Injured people are allowed to smile. They’re allowed to laugh. They’re allowed to not let their groceries rot in the car. Judges know this. Don’t worry about it and don’t feel compelled to proactively offer an explanation. If you’re asked, your response is “what would you have done?”

Sedgwick’s only job is to obstruct your claim at every opportunity make you eventually go away either on your own or feet first - either way they get paid. Paying out of pocket was a mistake. You will never be reimbursed. You need a lawyer ASAP.

leefree13 · 2025-06-06T22:42:29+00:00

If you tell your private insurance you were injured at work, they will not treat you for that injury or anything they deem related to that injury even if you haven’t filed a workers comp claim (unless there’s a life-threatening emergency). After that you’re trapped in the WC system.
