I find myself stuck in a precarious situation. The home I'm currently in is going to be sold to the Hasidic community, and the owner and I had a comfortable rent situation worked out that worked within my means to rent 1 room in his house for roughly 800 a month.

I'll be real, my take home isn't great but I've been trying to find better paying work and a new place to live and even roommates for a new place and I feel like I'm about to start living out of my car.

I have a varied background in hospitality, retail, call center and tech support and logistics warehouse operation and I can't find places hiring that would be sustainable for the wages offered.

I've tried finding roommates and most ghost me, I am endeavoring to take online classes to expand my job prospects.

There are no gaps in my resume, I'm currently gainfully employed in new Windsor for many years but I can't find a place to live.

If anyone knows of anyone hiring for an actual living wage, or has a room for rent or is looking for roommates within 45 minutes of new Windsor I'm nearing the end of my rope.

I feel punished for being low income, and yet I'm stuck in a situation where I'm too poor to move and too.poor to stay.

Is there any hope?

Man do I wish I realized I needed to fill my tank before the cold comes. Local company just went from 5.09 to 5.29 to 5.49 overnight. It‘s not going down below 4 bucks anytime soon huh. I guess I’ll bite the bullet now before it hits 6+. : P

Super El Niño is going to cause a mild winter at least.

Hi all,
I'm planning on staying in Esopus for a month or two this fall near Shaupeneak ridge. My question is how often does the train that passes through Old Post Rd run? I'll be driving into Kingston daily so wondering if this will become a problem.
Thank you in advance!

anyone of Greek diaspora in the area that have sent their kids to Greek language school through any of the Greek Orthodox Churches? I live in Kingston but for a high quality program I’m willing drive 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min each way (so like up to Albany or down closer to the City). I don’t know anything about the program at the church in Kingston so if anyones had experience with them I’m super interested to hear about it!

Hello! I'm looking for an exterminator who services Ulster County. I'm really looking for someone who can come by monthly or quarterly in particular to manage mice which have started to become a problem for us recently and I'm worried it will get worse as the weather gets cold. I suspect I have some openings into the house that I'm not aware of. Someone had suggested Pestmaster to me and told me that they charged $60 per monthly visit but when I reached out to them I was told that they would charge $105/month which seems excessive (though of course everything now is more expensive than one would hope...).

Does anyone have any recommendations for someone to do this kind of pest control?

Did anyone else submit to the county fair? I would love to see recipes! My recipe is here in this r/pie post

I sometimes see condos for sale in that complex. Has anyone lived there? What should I know about it?

I've found reviews of it, but they are often many years old and complain about very mundane things.

Hi! We usually use the Espous transfer station but have ripped out some carpet/insulation/floorboard and have some old twin sizes mattresses that need disposing.

I’m thinking there may be a local service that is cheaper than renting a van and doing it all myself?

(I’m in Highland)

Looking to explore some logging roads, limited use roads, gravel roads for scenic rides on my dual sport motorbike.

I'm in Kerhonkson so ideally not too far from here (southern Catskills / Ulster County). I’m new to riding and have a small bike (KLX300).

No private property.

DMs welcome if you prefer not to share publicly.

TIA!

I'm looking for a photographer who can help with dating app profile photos. Natural shots instead of something formal like a headshot. Do you recommend anyone?

Hi! As the title says, my wedding is next September in Hudson, NY and we want some fun, alternative ideas for a rehearsal dinner. We were thinking something like bowling, or a free concert series where more than just the bridal party can join for a lowkey, fun, pre-wedding event. Thanks!

What is the deal with the constant fireworks this summer? Multiple nights every single week I’ve heard them anywhere from 8-10p. Seriously, does anyone know what is going on?

Are these just randos setting off fireworks in their backyards…in the city??? Is this legal? I’ve been here for a few years and this shit is new.

My kids hate them. I hate them. I’m just glad I don’t have a dog right now.

looking for electrician recommendations to install a level 2 EV Charger in Monroe area? we reached out to Jones and ASTAR but would like some local quotes

I did not realize there was a little food bank (take something, leave something) between the Orpheum Theater and Stewarts. So for those that have, hopefully donate. And those that can use, hopefully use it.

I am not sure of this belongs here or there is a better sub.

I am a ham radio operator, we want to operate from Middle Ground Flats which is a POTA park. MGF is the island that sits right off Hudson.

I see camps​ on the island with shacks, picnic tables plastic chairs etc. How do I get permission to land at one of these camps to operate radios for a few hours?

We plan on renting kayaks to get there.​

Any help appreciated.

I know it's early, but I *need* to plan a winter trip now so I know I have something to look forward to in January (my least favorite time of the year!)

My family is me, my husband & our 3 year old son. We're looking for a spot thats:

-within ~3 hours driving of Highland, NY
-got lots of indoors activities that are family friendly
-not crazy crowded/chaotic for a long 3-day weekend (like I looked quickly at photos/videos of Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos and immediately decided *no*)

Before having kids my husband and I liked to go to spots like the Berkshires or Adirondacks in the winter and read books and drink wine while the snow fell, but the toddler wouldn't *love* that itinerary.

My husband *does* ski, I do not. I'd be willing to spend a bit of time outside tubing or something like that though.

Whiteface Lodge in the Adirondacks looks nice but it's definitely just on the outside of *far away* and expensive too.

Any thoughts are welcome!

So I’m having trouble finding any good hairstylists that can do what I’m looking to get. I’m trying to find someone who can do quality wolf cuts. I’d love some solid recommendations to places near beacon or Newburgh or somewhere not too far from there. This sub is my last resort honestly so any help is appreciated
