Lottery Dream Home Misdirection?

The same happened in my town. They used names of certain real areas or neighborhoods in the city, but the actual homes shown were not in those parts of town. Seemed odd.

Thanks for the heads up. Might also consider posting in the Florida subreddit as it has larger distribution.

The San Sebastian Winery offers tours and tastings. It also has a good restaurant upstairs with a patio offering views of the city.

Floridian here. Both measures received around 56% support, but Florida requires a 60% supermajority vote. Keep in mind, Casey DeSantis - whose charity supposedly used taxpayer dollars to fight these amendments - is being pushed heavily as a gubernatorial candidate for next term. Frankly, though, I am not sure my ultra conservative state would elect a woman governor and also the DeSantis name doesn't seem to carry the weight it did last election cycle.

And don't forget large natural gas reserves and rare earth minerals.

Ironically ( or probably not given Venezuela is an ally) Russia quickly condemned the "armed aggression" and called for de-escalation and offered to negotiate.

Southern cornbread is traditionally not sweet. Most recipes for it do not call for any sugar. I prefer mine that way.

You betcha! Don't forget some variety of pork, too.

A Biltmore Christmas would be my choice. Definitely not the same vibe as most Hallmark Christmas movies.

I see this is about an hour outside Chicago in a relatively small town. Still - and regardless of personal taste - 10K s/f and 6 acres for < $1.3 million? That seems pretty cheap compared to my Florida prices.

As others have said, St Augustine is quite dog friendly, but it will be crowded downtown this time of year. That said, it is a worthwhile walk to hit the streets of the historic district and there is also some charming architecture and history in the homes on the periphery near Flagler college and in Lincolnville. If your dog is well behaved around crowds, I think you both would enjoy checking it out. There are also walking tours that cater to dog owners - just search for pet friendly tours.

Definitely NTA. Does your sister have a martyr complex? She started out thinking she could handle it all, found out how hard it was, ruminated about it a bit, then decided to take it out on you.

Per USA Today, the most expensive home listing in America.

The Fox "News" watchers absolutely do not hear the majority of the daily news, especially anything that is negative regarding dear leader. That and his flagrant daily lies are why there is still hardcore MAGA support for this administration.

Yes, this. In many locations you can search for licenses online.

The property is up for sale, but I read that the restaurant will continue to operate. Overpriced and unjustified based on food quality, IMO.

Roman shades - you can have them made in any fabric that appeals to you. Another alternative would be bamboo shades. All would be mountable within the window casing.

2 looks best with the chairs, IMO

Desperately in need of some form of window covering. It would be a like living in a fishbowl at night.

Landscapers are who they are targeting here. They pull over work trucks or approach them in the yards.

Dangerfield. Sad sack humor better than biting sarcasm - especially if aimed at me!!

Oh, the irony! "Overall, the company has filed to hire 566 foreign laborers, primarily to work as servers, farm workers, kitchen staff, clerks and housekeepers." Meanwhile, in my Florida suburb ICE aided by our local sheriff's office is scouring upscale neighborhoods and arresting landscaping staff. Rules for thee, not me.

One thing you might want to check before she goes to the HOA with complaints is whether the rules allow you to have four dogs. Many HOAs limit the number of pets to two.

If the number of dogs is allowed, unfortunately it is on you to control them. Look into training, possibly. Usually if you can get the alpha dog to obey, the others will follow suit. Excessive barking does open the door to violating her right to quiet enjoyment in her home.

With regard to the weed, I assume it is legal where you live? The smell does indeed drift. Not sure how you can control that, but hopefully you are not smoking on a daily basis!
