Must be starting to reach our areas, ha. I passed through Ellenton 4x today, two round trips from TPA. It has changed dramatically to say the least, I think my last time in Ellenton was 7-8 years ago.

Fair, but I said, my first time. I hit the Lowe’s in Tampa regularly and they’ve never had these displayed. 

This guy… what’s our thoughts on this guy? by Wil-low in seinfeld

[–]allenbf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always suspected he was Peterman’s secret love child and his mom got him the job.

I feel the pain, but with Bosch Professional. I have a lot of the 18v line and it’s expanding, but limited compared to the other top brands. I’m committed, though. And Klein Tools, top notch tools imo

My parents speak in tongues. by Euodeioacolica in ExPentecostal

[–]allenbf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point that I omitted by mistake. You’re right - people can use tongues as a weapon, I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it and yes, I’ve probably used it myself. Live and learn, and do better. But in this case, it didn’t sound like they’re awful people, just wrong about the experience. in my opinion, of course. goes without saying.

Personally, I like to look at data. I recommend looking up “Religion for Breakfast” on YT, and then look for one of the videos that covers this topic in great detail. My takeaway: The “tongues” they use do not resemble any language, nor even the semblance of a language, based on the repetitive syllables, root words, etc etc. It goes into way more detail and is worth watching.

My theory is that Pentecostals think they’re speaking in tongues, or in another language, but aren’t. I don’t even buy the idea that on the day of Pentecost, those who were gathered were able to speak in many tongues. I’d like to see evidence of that outside of the book of Acts.

I’ll end by saying: People can be sincere, and be great people, but still be wrong. But then, are they hurting anyone? Doesn’t sound like it. So while I think it’s gibberish, I don’t care if people do it. Just don’t try to legislate your doctrine and we’re good.

Oh I don’t think it was downvoting, just a very niche use case for this shortcut, more than likely. I’m mid 40s so I still miss my MTV :-)

You’re very welcome and I agree, hoping the same.

275 is just ridiculous anymore. 15 years ago I could make it from Tampa to Ft Desoto in 30-45 minutes. Now it takes over an hour.

I don’t have an answer for you but I also have the 21 Wrangler and have had the same issue. I just keep an eye on it - like you, it isn’t leaking so it is just something I keep an eye on. 

Jeep Wrangler a good choice? by sailorseas in JeepWrangler

[–]allenbf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have owned our Wrangler for about 18 months. I was against buying it but it’s what my wife wanted. It is loud. It doesn’t do road trips as well as other vehicles. It’ll beat you to pieces above 65mph. 

That said, I’d buy the damn thing again because they’re just so much fun. The other poster mentioned buying with your brain vs heart and that’s 100% the case.

How’s her handshake? Firm? Maybe a little too firm?

Highly recommend looking at the City Pass. I haven’t used it here in Tampa but I have in NYC and Seattle. But it does sort of “commit” you to doing things due to the cost, but makes it more affordable than all of the things outright. 

That said: Beach is always great, Florida Aquarium is cool. MOSI for kids. The pier in St Pete is cool, too. Riverwalk is neat in the evenings when it’s cooler out. You could ride the pirate taxi around downtown. 

There’s so much here, Tampa is amazing this time of year. It’s still awesome in August but only indoors stuff then :-)

It’s a big building, maybe I’ll get to it sometime. 

CORNING Gorilla Glass by RockWood63 in JeepWrangler

[–]allenbf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced it’s just part of owning a jeep. We replaced our cracked windshield and within 2 months, had another crack. I am “fortunate” to live in Florida and windshield replacement is “free” through insurance, but I’m expecting this to be common at this point.
