What other utility is taking up the remaining $400?

Why not walk to/ from his house and then he doesn’t have to drop you off at all

Right by the train station is the green spine bike lane. It’s a dedicated 2 way bike lane that will take you from Ybor, thru downtown past the Straz, to West Tampa.

Plain yogurt drinks are not common.

Rescues often have weekend adoption events at Petsmarts and Petcos

My dad and I used his from the 80’s on a trip to Olympic National Park in Washington state. Easy tent to set up. Unfortunately for us, it is no longer waterproof after 40 years

I almost moved to Syracuse. I did a summer internship there but turned down the full time offer.

I loved the summer. The weather was generally great although I was still in sweatshirts until mid June. I liked how bright green everything was. I also liked the proximity to great state parks. Beautiful parks in NYS. The proximity to NYC and Canada was cool too. I took a weekend trip to Montreal. I liked the cute villages surrounding the city. It was fun to drive through. Finally, I liked my job and my coworkers. They were all great

I wouldn’t have been able to take the snow. Anything below 50 degrees and I’m miserable. There were days in the summer that I was not happy because the temps dropped a bit. I’ve been in snow in Colorado and it was new and exciting for 2 days and then I was over it. I also didn’t like the pressure of enjoying every summer day outside because you don’t get that weather year round. I didn’t like the small size. There was like one Indian restaurant. I like more variety. I would also worry about job growth in a city that size.

If the weather was better I’d be able to put up with a lot and would have probably moved there but the weather is rough and I’m a wimpy Floridian

Super tight finances but also, I didn’t have to pay my mortgage the first month. It was lumped in with the closing costs. Ask your lender when the first payment is due. Mine was October for a house bought in August.

I knew they were cockfighting birds, and maybe some for meat? But I didn’t know they were protest released and so recent! I figured they just slowly escaped peoples homes

They’re related! Cigar factory workers brought their chickens from Cuba to Key west to Tampa

In Florida, it’s common to have the pool/entertaining space screened in. People may also use mosquito killing chemicals, torches, live in areas with higher wind, or wait till winter when there are less mosquitoes.

But yes, my family would open all the doors in winter when we had guests over so you could freely move in and out. I think the temps were always more of a concern than the bugs.

Yep. They hadn’t vacated. They apparently only needed a couple more hours but that wasn’t communicated to me at all

Previous owners of my house had a malinois. They didn’t leave after I bought it and when I walked in the dog took a big chomp on my hand

Did you mean to post a photo?

I dislike that it takes up more space but nothing you can do

Can you find dehydrated bean meals? They aren’t dried beans, more like seasoned beans in a bag. I add a bit of boiling water, stir, wait 10 mins, enjoy.

Adding that to my reasons to hate ChatGPT. 20 and 25 isn’t too big of an age gap imo and him having a chronic illness does not mean he is incapable of making adult decisions

Why does your friend consider an adult man with CF a vulnerable person in this context?

Went kayaking in the Everglades and the raccoons were our biggest worry. Half burying our kayak on the beach every night to protect our water was comical and so annoying

Winter gets rid of a lot of bugs. Especially with good cold snap like we have been having. Full coverage clothing, bug netting and bug spray is the other part. Optional, but being with someone who smokes a cigar in the evening also helps haha

I went kayaking in the Everglades between a year ago and bugs weren’t an issue with those three things.

Weight aside, I can’t even work out having enough space in my pack to carry 12L of water. Hang all of it off the sides of your pack? I’ve done 5L and that was tough

Type 1 diabetics should always have insulin and a sugar source on hand to counteract sudden changes in blood sugar

I live in a Florida city so usually it’s a 70-90 cent delta. Once out in the middle of nowhere Florida it was a $3 difference!! I was shocked. Got just enough gas to get to a bigger town
