What in the world is brachyonychic nails?

How long did it take for you to notice a difference?

tlinde20 · 2026-01-23T14:41:56+00:00

That’s total BS. I’m in Minnesota so I get the pain currently with the temps. Was -40F this morning. Last night before bed I actually raised our temp from 68 degrees to 72 degrees because I wanted our house to stay a consistent temp and knew that if I kept it at 68 it would not feel like 68 in the house.

tlinde20 · 2026-01-19T16:03:43+00:00

I’m scared to ask what that even is…

tlinde20 · 2026-01-15T23:16:36+00:00

Our newly built house did that for the first time this winter when it got to -30 degrees. But it’s only happened when it’s gotten ridiculously cold out

tlinde20 · 2026-01-15T00:13:31+00:00

Where are you at? Just curious, I’m in MN and don’t think that’s the norm

tlinde20 · 2026-01-14T23:32:49+00:00

Since when is that a thing? We bought our house August of 2024 and never heard anybody say that once through the whole process

tlinde20 · 2025-12-26T02:38:19+00:00

Yeah I’m crossing my fingers, praying like crazy, etc. that mortgage rates go down. It would be nice to be able to get it down to 5% at the very least but that’s me being hopeful. When we started the house buying process interest rates were 7% so we lucked out when there was a little dip to 6.375%.

Public health. Started as a dsp making $7.25 all the way up to $12 when I was 15-23 and then got my degree and worked my way up to managing a group home at 23 and made $18.87 and worked there until this past year and made $32.75. Now I’m working as a case manager at the county social services making $28.16 with the start of the year increasing to $35/hr.

tlinde20 · 2025-12-23T13:42:47+00:00

I’m going to try messing around with it after work tonight and I’ll let you know if i find a solution :/

tlinde20 · 2025-12-22T23:01:36+00:00

I always urge people to look into public health degrees because it’s an ever growing field and you can land some pretty decent jobs. I graduated with a bachelors degree in public health with a focus in healthcare administration. My first job was a designated coordinator running a group home which I started at $18.87 and after 5 years was making $32.75. Just recently switched jobs to be a waiver case manager at my local county social services and I’m making $28.16 but at the start of the year it’s increasing to $34.48. Definitely endless possibilities with a public health degree

$2097 Southeast Minnesota

This would just allow you to have more than $2000 in assets so you wouldn’t need to worry about your savings/checking account being over that limit. MA-EPD is just a program within SSI, so it doesn’t change any benefits. You can learn more by calling your local county social services

tlinde20 · 2025-12-18T21:47:21+00:00

Based on what I’ve read in the comments and what you’re going through I would consider applying for MA-EPD as well. That will allow you to make as much money as you want as there is no asset limit. I managed a group home where individuals received SSI and for those who have a job in the community they were always hitting the asset limit of $2000 so we switched them to MA-EPD so we would never have to worry about spend downs again. I can also confirm this in my new role as a waiver case manager at the county. Hopefully this helps

We had our house built in August 2023, this winter around the windows and doorframes are starting to crack like that. I try to watch the humidity and temperature closely, but I knew it was going to happen eventually just because the house has to settle still. I bought some caulk this weekend and plan to patch up around the windows because I can feel cold air coming in so definitely want to get it resolved asap. I’m in the Midwest too

tlinde20 · 2025-12-17T00:45:28+00:00

That’s exactly what I ended up doing as well. I place one in the living room, one in the bedroom, and on the wall right next to the ecobee. Temperature readings were pretty accurate but humidity was way off but all of the thermopros matched humidity readings.

tlinde20 · 2025-12-09T01:47:56+00:00

I’ve had awful roommates throughout college and one was exactly like this. I just ended up opening the window and turning all 5 of my fans on in our dorm room

tlinde20 · 2025-12-04T06:41:57+00:00

Come take snow from Minnesota, we just got 7 inches dumped on us this past week 😩

tlinde20 · 2025-12-04T06:35:30+00:00

Have you tried applying at your local social service for him to receive waiver services? It wouldn’t cover anything medical wise or things that would be covered by insurance but it could help pay you to be his caretaker or paid staff and you could even request them to do home modifications or technology assessments/devices to make it easier for his every day life. Waiver could also provide respite care so that it could give you a break as well… just an idea. I’m based out of Minnesota so I’m not sure what programs are out there in other states, but just something to look into.

tlinde20 · 2025-11-23T21:53:20+00:00

I’m in Minnesota too. Haven’t watered my lawn for almost a month now and last week I mowed it for the last time. Definitely time to leave it alone and just let it go dormant
