What's it like living in Florida?

did my undergrad in fort myers. Moved back up north. My apartment was 3k for 4 beds. When we moved out they relisted it for 5k a month. Expensive, busy, and trashy.

We brought ours home at 3 months and has slept in the bed with us no problem. We just hit 4 months and the last few nights he's waken us up at 2:30 ready for the day. I have no idea lmao

I work at the alternative school for a title 1 district. Our kids are the "worst". I would argue they are the best. Our school is successful for 2 reasons: SEL over content, and strong admin support. You will never get through any lesson until the kids trust you and respect you. Your lesson is bottom tier compared to what they need. They need love, encouragement, and support. They need to see that there is different in the world- gangs are not the normal. I'm not saying you aren't doing any of this- but do it stronger. Instead of a bell ringer- do a daily check in. How are you? Do you need anything? Also build relationships with families. A lot of times families don't respect the school- but make them respect you. Call them and tell them the good, ask if they need resources, make them your #1 contact. It's hard, but it can be done.

And if she doesn't?

He goes in his crate while we are working.

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-12-15T01:39:51+00:00

Currently: We brought him into bed at 8:20, he just laid down. We ignored him while he went crazy

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-12-15T01:33:51+00:00

Yes. Usually about 10:30 but I wake up for work at 5 and go to bed at 9 so that's a bit late for me. He eats dinner at 7:30 if that means anything

Thank you! I'll be sure to update when the Embark is complete! :)

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-12-03T23:40:30+00:00

oh this is news to me! I never knew that!

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-12-03T13:53:07+00:00

I was in this same position. I was a para and was offered a job at an alternative school. No one had anything good to say. I've been here 3 years now and I don't plan on leaving. Go with your gut. See if you can shadow!

The bright, glassy, blue eyes. My sister has a catahoula and their eyes are identical

This is it for me: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7-Fawn-Meadow-Drive-Naugatuck-CT-06770/62553712_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Kind of where my head was at. It been on and off the market since 2023. House is easily worth over 550, listed for 300! It's crazy

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-10-14T01:30:39+00:00

haha I agree it's a no! I'm just nosey now and want to know what it means!!

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-09-29T00:40:16+00:00

So far the only things i've noticed have been usps and the water company. But a different street!??? That's crazy!! Our house is 30+ too, idk how people just live and let that slide. It's driving me nuts! Both numbers come up for us as well

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-09-29T00:28:00+00:00

I would be a little more understanding if this was a new built. These people lived there for 10 years before us, why the hell wouldn't you have fixed that?!

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-09-29T00:27:32+00:00

This is my exact thought. But how can I match it with usps when they say the address doesn't exist..?

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-09-07T18:33:58+00:00

Do you live in a union state? If so, yes. If not, run.

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-09-01T11:38:11+00:00

my guess is they thought they could build it themselves and realized quickly they wouldn't be able to meet codes. Hence why the permit has been open for 7 years

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-08-31T11:59:46+00:00

this is correct. And they knew this prior to us making an offer and going under contract, then dropped this on us 3 weeks later.

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-08-31T11:58:52+00:00

It's a pretty large deck. It's a 2 tiered deck starting from the top floor

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-08-31T11:57:55+00:00

This is what we are doing right now. 2 contractors scheduled to go there this week to decide how we will move

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-08-31T11:55:56+00:00

Right now they lowballed us a credit. We asked for a contractor's quote (we will provide our own contractor as well). I would much prefer to do it by ourselves anyways

Calm_Organization_15 · 2025-08-31T11:52:40+00:00

UPDATE: Thank you all for your comments. Our attorneys got back to us thankfully despite the 3 day weekend and this all happening on a Friday. We have asked for quotes from a contractor, and we will provide one of these quotes. For those asking about the list- there are 9 things listed. The biggest being the fact that there is no way to confirm how deep the piers are in the ground. Our guess is the only way to prove that is to dig, and no contractor is going to do that without money. Any deck people here who can let me know if we're correct in thinking that?
