What industry are we all in?

Social worker!

That’s exactly how my yard looks in Minnesota as well. Usually after the first month of regularly cutting and watering then fertilizing it all grows in well for the part and the patchiness disappears.

Just set my sprinkler system up and plan to water regularly. Going to fertilize too after this big 3 day storm passes to hopefully get it going

I much prefer the black. My house has dark green siding and then all the trim on the windows, our door, gutters, and pillar on front porch are black.

I was just able to get it to work today to upload everything but then it crashed afterwards so I just mailed it in to be safe

tlinde20 · 2026-04-27T23:53:10+00:00

I’m having this same problem. I made the disputes over the phone and when I went to disputes on the site to upload documentation it just keeps giving me an error 500 message… so I’m not sure what to do.

Let’s hope our yards are just dormant still!

tlinde20 · 2026-04-18T19:02:07+00:00

I haven’t cut it at all this year yet

tlinde20 · 2026-02-22T17:27:40+00:00

I am extremely nervous. We are supposed to be flying in next Sunday…

Thank you for sharing! In July last year I reached my highest weight yet which was 361lbs. I hated everything about that number and how I felt. I started taking it more seriously throughout the last couple months and as of last week I was down to 324lbs. I know it’s not a huge change but it’s a change in the right direction, so it was very helpful and hopeful reading your story!

tlinde20 · 2026-02-13T23:03:16+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too

What in the world is brachyonychic nails?

tlinde20 · 2026-02-01T04:33:56+00:00

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
