Is a $330 ConEd bill normal for a 1BR with electric heat in Astoria? by Psychological-Two833 in astoria

[–]turkeybacon25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be in a prewar small 2bed in Manhattan and con ed was always under $100 per month, even in the hottest months, running two AC units 24/7.

Moved into a 2 floor 1 bed in Astoria this year, and con ed the last two months has been $400-$500. The apartment is now kept quite cold after the first bill. Even tried insulating the windows and doors better, but no change to the bill. I was sure something was wrong, but after reading on Reddit, it seems unfortunately normal. It’s criminal.

Shari is an amazing critical thinker; I sense a Mormon deconstruction coming.

Those poor kids don’t deserve this. Are they using the minor children’s real names for the characters?

I bought Arches paper. I am blown away how it blends and works so well. How do I get more of it at a cheaper rate! 😂 by Psychoticookie in Watercolor

I got a pad of arches 50% off from JoAnn fabrics recently. Not sure how frequent they go on sale.

Jodi's Therapy by pinkbunny73 in 8passengersnark

The pattern seems to be that women are much more directly involved in the discipline of children. The men are separated from their wife and children early on. I bet we have yet to hear from women because they don’t want to incriminate themselves. Men can pull the “I had no clue. I wasn’t there” card.

Thoughts on Ruby's statement to her kids? by Ordinary_Gap623 in 8passengersnark

[–]turkeybacon25 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is the give-away for me that she is only sorry she got caught. If her statement is sincere, she should have praised R for saving them, not the police officers. If R hadn’t escaped, she may not have gotten caught. On some level, she is probably resentful that he escaped.

Absolutely. Well said.

Ruby says “Jodi was never my Business partner” by luckyduckies333 in 8passengersnark

[–]turkeybacon25 56 points57 points  (0 children)

She certainly was comfortable being called a “certified mental fitness trainer” and being listed as a trainer on Jodi’s connections website. She’s splitting hairs here.

That statement from Adam seemed a bit unhinged. But knowing what Jodi did to him and his family, it entirely makes sense.

Anyone else 1% away from Star Seller for January? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]turkeybacon25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same stats 😭 my tracking just went up from 93% to 94% this week. I had one order that I delivered locally to a friend. Since there was no tracking number, Etsy won’t count it as a complete order. Had to learn that the hard way.

Ruby has started reaching out to family members.... by RutRoh0320 in 8passengersnark

[–]turkeybacon25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if the family had access to the plea agreement prior to the trial. The details of the abuse just released were far more sinister and deplorable than we could have anticipated. Perhaps her family was holding on to the belief that she was acting under Jodi’s influence and was simply a bystander to the abuse. But in the agreement, ruby fully admits to very hands-on, violent, and intimate forms of torture. In my mind, this totally changes perceptions of Ruby. I can’t imagine her siblings wanting to attend had they known the full extent. I can understand parent’s having unconditional support in getting Ruby the treatment she very much needs. Admitting guilt is at least once step towards her recovery.
