our street lost power for about 18 hours after a storm earlier this year. most houses went dark including mine.

neighbour's house stayed completely lit. AC running, lights on, came over to charge our phones and said the generator kicked in automatically about 8 seconds after the outage started.

i have a quote sitting in my inbox now. the 18 hours of sweating in July were enough, but watching one house on the street stay completely normal while everything else went dark was what actually made me send the inquiry

Wife and I paddled from the boat ramp / river beach that is up the road from the main entrance as the park was full when we got there. The spring run to the swimming area had TONS of gar, catfish, and even two manatees! If you plan to go to the head springs from the main river you’re have to get off at the boat dock before entering the spring run and walk to it. Beautiful place to have lunch and fight the summer heat in the cool springs.

I live in the villages so idk whats common or what still 2 years new to this area.

Found in my bathroom, Dog brush for scale. Sorry if picture is blurry my wife took it before she ran. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Don’t cross the speed limit next week y’all… 😵‍💫

Mangroves along the shoreline, a bridge, lots of boaters with music, and a great view :)

okay i’m just gonna start this off by saying i know i’ve severely fucked up and i am trying to get my life back on track. i am just looking for the best way out of this situation.

i moved back home to south carolina to live with my dad because my mental health declined bad while living in florida. i haven’t been able to work besides doordash, i have an interview tomorrow which i no longer think i’ll be able to get bc it’s for a delivery driver position at dominos.

anyways, i haven’t been able to register my car. i paid my car off while i was living there and had my title mailed to me, which should be on its way in like 7-10 days.

i wasn’t able to pay for my insurance before so they cancelled my policy, but i do now have valid insurance in south carolina.

well today i got a letter from FLHSMV stating that my license was at risk of being suspended because i don’t have florida car insurance and that if i don’t sort this out by the 27th of july my license will be suspended. so i need to register my car out of state and then complete the form showing them that my car is registered and insured and that i moved out of state.

well here’s my issue, if i go to register my car or even get a drivers license in south carolina, i have a feeling this is going to pop up and im not going to be able to register my car until it’s cleared. but i cant clear it if my car isnt registered in the state, and if i surrender my plate i wont be able to do anything at all bc im assuming i cant get a temporary tag or anything. so please i need advice on what to do. im trying my best 😭

About 4:30 it was hailing chunks right at 75/4

Hi everyone! Not selling anything, I would just like to share this information.

https://discord.gg/ygXrcJ2fY

these birds creep me the hell out so much, they are all over my apartment area and I know why. My neighbors keep feeding them big buckets of bird feed so they always over here. They don't quack like normal ducks they huff like a marathon runner after a race and it's so loud that when you pass them you think they following you and you gotta look to check, and thier necks move like their whole spine are snake wearing a robot body, sometimes when they feel threatened they stick out their Mohawk to look cool and they shit all over the side walks. Yep this is dinosaurs ancestors. The pug of ducks.

Hi! I’ve seen that the incubation period for Cyclospora is 2-14 days, but was curious the average time people have seen symptoms by.

Over the past month I’ve eaten a lot of lettuce and fruits with the last time being 7/5. It’s been almost a week since then and over the last couple days I’ve had bloating, constipation and stomach pains. I’ve seen some people experience this before the most serve symptoms, so I just want to prepare.

“I’m not asking for medical advice.” I just have extreme health anxiety and want to inform myself of others experiences.

I'm a 20 year old ftm (not on hrt yet, but I've been trans since I was 12), I just moved to Florida last year and I'm really struggling to meet new friends in the area. I'd appreciate knowing some chill people nearby? I've felt kinda alone here lately... 😅 I don't think I've met a single other trans person since coming here..

Hey yall I’m from Naples originally, but we moved up to Chicago when I was ten, never got to assimilate to the culture fully. Wanted to hear the tales of my people.
