Your Questions About Shingles

How often do thank GOD?

Ingratitude

“Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

— Romans 1:21

A man who was nailing down a loose shingle on a roof lost his footing and began to slip. Working three stories above the ground, he was terrified at the thought of falling to his death. He started shouting, “God, help me! I am falling! God, do something!”

Just as he came to the edge of the roof, his belt loop caught on a nail and stopped him long enough to grab hold again. He shouted, “It’s OK, God! I got caught on a nail.”

That is how we can be. We cry out to God. He answers our prayers. Then we say, “It’s OK, God . . . everything seemed to work out.” But do we ever stop and think that God might have worked through certain circumstances to come to our rescue?

My point is, we need to put as much zeal in thanking God for what He has done as we put into pleading with God when we are in need.

I heard about a hospital chaplain who kept a record of some 2,000 patients whom he had visited, all who seemed to be in a dying condition and showed signs of repentance. Among those restored to health, he felt that only two showed a marked change in their spiritual lives after their recovery. In other words, when these people thought they would die, they repented. But when they recovered, they forgot about God.

What would you think of a person who always wanted things from you, but never offered a word of thanks in return? We can be that way with God, can’t we? Let’s remember to thank Him.

Can mold make you sick? Is it possible that the water leaks we had during the summer are making us sick?

My fiance and I have been living in our apartment for about a year and a half now. Its a fairly new building (less than 5 years old), but there were what we now know to be water stains on the ceiling in the living room when we moved in. Last winter a blizzard blew some shingles and siding off the building and they didn’t fix it till the fall. We had water damage in our living room (a leaking ceiling with new water stains and the growth of an old one and a leak under/around the a/c which damaged the paint and drywall slightly from what we can see). I don’t even think anybody actually did take a look at the damage and if they did nothing got done. This happened before new management took over.

Anyways since this summer both my fiancé and I have been having health issues (mine are minor, his are severe).

My question is this. What are the possible health effects of mold and should we be really pushing the apartment people to fix this before we sign our new lease?
I’ll add a bit about the health issues we have been having.

For myself its been a slight worsening of regular allergies, a new severe allergy to minocycline (but I took textracycline no problem, i’m also allergic to amoxicillin), some chest congestion that doesnt seem to be going away, a bit of coughing once in awhile, a fungal skin infection i have had for a long time, some bumps under my arms that look like pimples (tetracycline didn’t work, and i was allergic to minocycline, so off to the derm I go), a bit of concentration issues, sleep issues.

As for my fiancé, his were worse. He had a kidney stone in october that was misdiagnosed at first in september. He ended up having to get it surgically removed. They put a stent in and he got an infection, was allergic to medicine they gave him. So they gave him a different thing.

He’s has some problems since then, with a heart arrythmia with chest pain, worsening of his poultry allergy, tired all the time, feels kinda icky lots.
He also has had a very severe reaction to a new asthma inhaler (same chemical as his old one, just different brand, He hardly uses it since hes mostly outgrown his asthma). He has always had allergies. Hes been having stomach pains again lately. Also is complaining of coughing once in awhile, his immune system is shot, his doctor thinks it might be chronic fatigue for lack of anything else. Is it at all possible these problems (or at least some of them) are due to possible mold in the apartment.

We clean regularily and he is a clean freak. Vaccum, wash floors with swiffer wet jet every week, clean bathroom, kitchen counters, coffee tables, wash towels floor rugs and sheets every week. We have a dog that we got this summer but that isn’t the issue because we both had dogs of the same breed before without being sick. Our dog also is having allergy problems we think.
Yeah we had dripping water from one spot in the ceiling for a day after the bad rainstorms and it poured in (soaked a towel in maybe 15 minutes) around the air conditioner, which was improperly installed in our apartment in the first place. Unfortunately the place was built crappy. Its still a lot better than a lot of places in the city and since the rental availability in the city is only at about 0.6% (since they have had a big boom here with lots of condo conversions without city council stopping them) and we have a dog, finding a new place to live would be hard. Especially since rents have gone through the roof here. Our rent has increased almost $300 in the last year and a half. That’s been the average here. Our 2 bedroom apartment is now renting for $1060. Renting a house would cost at least $1300/mo. Our apartment is in the area we like where there are few apartments (most have gone to condos) and the only open apartments don’t allow dogs or are rundown.
I actually used to live in a house with a seriously mold infested bathroom. Our place seems like spotless compared to that filthy pigsty. I never had allergies until I moved in there. I lived there for 2 years. they still haven’t fixed it maybe this summer they will fix it. It’s a family owned house.

Anyways, we can’t see any mold in the apartment, but we know there is water damage and I got to thinking we might have a mold problem after reading stuff online.

No Lease Was Sighned When I Rented Now I am being evicted!?

I live in a rent house in Virginia. There was no lease to sign at the time we moved in. We got behind on our rent 2 months because my husband took a pay cut. We did not get a 30 day written notice to leave. The landlord took out a unlawful detainer anyway and lied on the court paper that she had given written 30 day notice. The house when we moved in was suppose to get new sideing that has been 3 years ago the sideing is asbestos shingle sideing and the wireing is not up to code either. I had to call the Building Code Inspector out to the house he told me we had to move out right now the house was unfit to live in my kitchen floor is about to fall in we have told them of the problem they will not fix it. We have tried to give the back rent payed up and she refused to take the money what to do?

What can I say about a company who will not take accountability?

Recently had a roof shingling job done with the roofer doing some eaves, etc… Roof is done and no complaints but where the contractor did work on the eaves all of a sudden I have raccoons ripping aapartmy fascia, etc… and the roofer is not accepting responsibility. After the pest control inspected the fascia was not reinforced which even a ssquirrelcan rip out. I want to make a sign to put on my car, what can I say so I can avoid being sued?
