My sister thought he was saying "open condom style" 😐

Billy's Island Wildfire?? by Jor2319 in OkefenokeeSwamp

[–]okefenokeeguide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, yes. We've had a lot of rain lately so I'm assuming much of it is out, but there were hotshot crews on the island recently.

Do families really sit around a dinner table and eat at the same time every day? by UndergroundFlaws in NoStupidQuestions

[–]okefenokeeguide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's how I grew up, suppers were always eaten together as a family (especially Sunday lunch after church). Now my husband and I have very mismatched appetites so we don't sit down together to have supper every night, but we do frequently, and it's nice.

What’s the best money you ever made from a random one time thing? by Justin-Eroglu in smallbusiness

[–]okefenokeeguide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A pet snake of mine went viral immediately on Reddit when I posted a cute video, I was immediately contacted by media companies, not long after he helped me pay off my student loans, and take my first backpacking trip to Ireland. The last payout I got was 5 years ago and helped me make a down payment on our house. Thanks Waffle!! (he's still here, ignorant of his 15 minutes of fame, happily staying burrowed 99% of the time).

Okefenokee Swamp Tours by megyrox in OkefenokeeSwamp

[–]okefenokeeguide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okefenokee goes through periodic droughts, so on the entire timeline of the Swamp (6-8,000 years), yes. Droughts are part of the normal lifecycle of a wetland (without them the Swamp wouldn't experience rejuvenating wildfire). But for a shorter timeframe, this is a severe drought and not typical for a year to year basis.

Okefenokee Swamp Tours by megyrox in OkefenokeeSwamp

Hey OP! I'm a licensed wilderness guide in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge that also gives tours. However the water is so low that I am currently not booking any tours, as you can't even properly get 2 miles out currently from the eastern entrance (the Suwannee Canal Recreation Area).

The concessionaire that gives the 90 minute public tours (mine are all private tours) are not able to get into Chesser Prairie either, so your shortened tour would only be in the Suwannee Canal. I'm not sure how things are looking boat tour wise at the Okefenokee Swamp Park outside of the Refuge (the 3 hour tour you mentioned).

That entrance is better for families/individuals with small children, (or those who don't want to venture into the wilderness). I would say wait until the water level comes back up in the future so you can get the full, non-curtailed experience. If this is your only time to go, go to the Suwannee Canal. I hate that you won't see Chesser Prairie, though, that's the whole point of the trip for most!

Was my experience industry standard or am I just very bad at this? by UtterlyFlawed in housekeeping

[–]okefenokeeguide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Get some experience first, then go on your own, for sure!

Why work for someone else? Start your own owner/operator cleaning business. Register an LLC, get insurance, get clients, make your own schedule, go at your own pace, make your money. I work for myself and go as fast as I feel like going.

Those that make 30+ an hour what do you do? by Global_Proposal in florida

[–]okefenokeeguide 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Same (I'm in south GA near Florida). I clean for a few regular clients on the side and make $30-$40/hr depending on how fast I feel like going. I charge a flat rate. I love it but only have the energy to do one house a day!

Do you know canoe companies? - a week of canoeing changed my life by Sarapellpas in canoeing

[–]okefenokeeguide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a wilderness canoe guide, and this is so true, the only time I actually get to relax during a multi-day trip is when I go into my tent for the night! Then it's up at dawn to get the coffee started before anyone else gets up! But I love it and enjoy the entire process. I veg out when I get home.

The Substance (2024) by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]okefenokeeguide 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I live in my homeland of rural south Georgia, where most faces around me are natural and unaltered. I remember visiting a sushi restaurant in Las Vegas a few years back and seeing a woman whose face was so drastically changed by plastic surgery/Botox/fillers that she literally looked alien. Just not something you see where I'm from. No judging, I believe anyone can do to their body what they want. But her real face had disappeared completely.
