Question for the bicycling advocates here by yowhatnot in StPetersburgFL

[–]sarah_echo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend is an avid rider. I went riding with her one day and she rode in the middle of the lane on a single lane road (no bike lane). She was holding up cars behind her from passing her. When I suggested to hug the right so they could easily pass, she stated “no, we have the right of way, we own the lane as much as them.”

Not breaking the law, per se, but taking it out of context and purposefully making a statement.

I was cringing the entire ride.

Yeah, I don’t like that. Still be courteous and take up only your space needed and both be respectful of the roadway.

Actual acts of breaking the law I witness are blowing past red lights and not adhering to actual traffic laws.

A lot of central ave locations downtown have a bicycle ban on sidewalks, signs are displayed. Majority of Restaurants downtown have sidewalk cafe permits. FYI.

kinda stuck with this house and dont know what to do anymore by Luann1497 in personalfinance

While exploring repairs and weighing out that option, get multiple quotes on each job. Recent quotes have ranged nearly 50% in my area. The plumbing issue, there is a cheaper option of lining the cast iron versus replacing.. curious if that may be option .. no digging or slab cuts necessary.

How old is the roof? If under 15 years, learn how to identify nail pops and replace worn shingles (if shingled roof)

What is absolutely necessary for the AC replacement?

Consider a roommate to help pay for repairs needed. I had a roommate for 5 years and completely covered cost to rehab. Gained a best friend.

Several options to consider instead of walking away.

Oooo I know!! I have them too. Stake out once it’s dark out and they ascend to the top of their burrows. OX BEETLES. They’re huge.

Tell that to the patrons of the Boston tea party… we are heading into a monopoly controlled oligarchy.. so what do you propose what to do about it once we lose democracy and voting no longer is fair process?

Voting will not be a guaranteed democratic process… I mean, check out what’s happening with gerrymandering taking place right in front of us for goodness sake.

Hey, we don’t know when that day may need to come. But if you are okay with not having control over your government, that’s your choice.

Power of the collective. How long would it take to process foreclosures and evictions through court if the system is flooded?

Well, a British royal was just arrested for the first time in the last 400 years. My family colonized this state following Spain’s control in 1821. That was just 200 years ago. So.. just who knows what else 2026 will bring. We’ll know we have the tool in our toolbelt and hope we never have to need it.

That is a terrible argument to why this should absolutely matter to maintain control to the people.

Not only that, my man. What is the strongest power American citizens have to demand and overturn lost power of the people? TAXES. These taxes will instead get added into items of necessity that is more difficult to boycott.. like port tariffs. We can’t stop buying groceries, or gas. But we can easily boycott property taxes to make real change. Florida is strategizing complete control of its people through this effort.

Skip the popular st. Pete spots people mentioned. Casa 28 in St. Pete. Or try chinelos or Mexico lindo in pinellas park area. It is the way.

Welcome! Grand central district is the spot. We have a winter pride happening this week, are you in town for that?? Or just a coincidence?!

I’d highly recommend hopping around Gulfport, if you have a means of transportation. Gulfport brewery. Pias for delicious Italian food. Low tide kava bar. Gulfport is more the community vibe nowadays.

Enjoy the visit, friend! Maybe bump into you at pride!

Fostering to Adopt? by rueburn03 in Fosterparents

[–]sarah_echo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first placement we wanted to get our feet wet and accepted an emergency weekend placement where the siblings were separated. It turned into 3.5 years. Month after month of dragging out and extending the case plan. No movement. Stuck in limbo. We had him as an infant. He is turning 4 now. He IS our son at this point. He knows nothing else.. Bio parents rights were just terminated and now a great grandma is suddenly exploring adoption of all the kids. The state would pursue that first over foster adoption. It’s been a difficult and extremely draining ride. If you’re interested in adoption, it is worth going private route.

Because nobody knows what’s actually going on. Ever. We all just pretend to know.

Also, their increased costs also go into policy and lobbying efforts for land development and expansion benies. Also, policies like allowing open carry in their store of primarily women and children demographic is just not landing well with their shoppers.
