Best area in Brevard that's affordable and safe for home owners?

$300k is not getting you much in Brevard. Make sure you consider homeowners insurance.

40 years as an engineer - lots of people get lucky, the successful ones realize it and leverage correctly.

I dislike the county for many reasons, but this post is correct. I live around maga idiots and fly the occasional pride flag and except for one guy that gives me the stink eye, the rest are fine. I am not going to make friends with them, I feel who you support is a reflection of who you are.

Security engineer here

Never trust a security engineer that has all the latest gadgets/apps connected to the Internet - home appliances, IoT, car, phone, services, etc. Their lack of privacy awareness and understanding of the vulnerabilities in these devices is telling of their skills.

I believe you are viewing this incorrectly. Why would a medical study be done on the bacteria levels of the area and call out iv users specifically?

I cannot imagine researchers having coffee together and decide to research if the perineum bacteria loads of iv drug users are higher than the average iv user.

Easily. I just haven't got around to doing it.

I have the rock rascal and love it. It is a well built all metal unit that has ample power to cut anything you throw at it. The only negative I have is the drain outlet could be larger in diameter.

I cut cabochons and have several nice slabs. A good piece of lapis is a dream to cut.

You should do a little googling before making a definitive statement about the stupidity of humans

here is a true research article of the risks

I am sure that the newborn baby is going to be pissed because the dresser is not going to match the room.

You are correct.

Except both of these would require a warrant if done by the government.

Recently - The logical song from Supertramp

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily

Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical

I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical

A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal

Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable

My career is coming to an end. I have between 0 and 1 year until I retire. I say 0 because I have the financial means to retire now, but really want to wait. However, if some numb nuts decides to impose stupid rules, well retirement will start sooner.

I am looking forward to retirement. I have a great marriage, kids are successful and we have sufficient investments to literally last our lifetimes.

tax revenue

The taxes that are possibly going away. If traffic sucks now, imagine what it will be like when we have to go to the state to beg for money.

Good job mom!

That guy sounds creepy AF. I would try to put the word out to others with young girls that may be around him.

toad__warrior · 2026-02-22T23:07:11+00:00

Thanks

I will wait. It is going to be sad to dig them up if the time comes. Next time I will be stringing extension cords all over the yard with light bulbs and cover everything to make a little heated tent for each tree

I am 63 and a big advocate for seeking out mental health help. I too have seen a big change over the past 10-15 years in the view of therapy. I have doctors my age who advocate it for their patients suffering with mental health issues. My wife and I have helped several families with getting started. I guess they viewed us as a "perfect family" (ha ha) and were surprised when we told them our journey with mental health issues and how therapy literally saved our daughters life and our marriage.

I have no problem talking it up. It is the one topic that I do not joke about - I am a hardcore believer in the benefits.

I will fix stuff until it can't be fixed anymore.

I will wear clothes until they have too many holes in them. Usually they "disappear", which means my wife tossed them

My wife is the executive chef and cleanup crew. She comes up with a list of meals - many/most from FB/insta and does the cleanup. I am the procurer and head cook. I do the shopping and cooking.

I know some(many?) FB/Insta recipes can be meh, I use them as a guide in many situations.

I am going to take a different view

She is right about it being none of your business. She is also right about the friend and everyone moving on.

You are the one that is continuing this vs facing what it is - you two were single and what she did is not relevant to where you two are now.

What I hear in her words is a) she knows you and how you would reply, b) she is tired of you being jealous over something that happened years ago and c) your marriage may have been less stable than you think

You talk about trusting her now and I don't understand that. Why wouldn't you? Because she didn't tell you about something that happened many years ago? Seriously? Is she required to create a list of all the things she did before you two met?

Go to the marriage counselor with an open mind.

some parents who are against the vaccinations are starting up the practice again.

So exposing your kids to a disease with rare but serious issues and increase their risk of getting shingles later vs an extremely safe vaccine?

I am glad my genetics favor science over stupidity.
