I grew up in Central Florida and have retired back here. We had loads of the Mom & Pop 1 story motels from the 50’s. Parked in front of your room, swimming pool out front with palm trees. Many have survived and quite a few have been restored and are very cute and many families would stay in these ...

My 82 year old neighbor drives a PT Cruiser and absolutely loves it. She’s also got a Lexus but recently gave it to her daughter because she prefers driving the PT around town. She’s kept it immaculate and no complaints in the years I’ve known her. ...
My ex let a couple move in his house that he had just purchased in Orange Beach before Sally. They were supposed to help him repair damage. They moved in, didn’t do anything, wouldn’t leave and he couldn’t evict them because of Covid. I think it took over a year to get them out. It was a real nightm...

Brother-in-law is I assisted living in Citrus County and they contacted us Monday to say they were evacuating everyone Tuesday to another facility in Orlando. If they did, they’ve put themselves in a big mess. ...
Lady we sold our house to in Louisiana was killed when a tree fell on her car while driving to work. It was a right after we had a hurricane drop a lot of rain. Tree uprooted and she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. ...

Really helpful! Makes me feel much better with it dropping off so rapidly by landfall. That’s such a shallow area from Tarpon up to Cedar Key. We lived in Crystal River for quite a few years. I know it’ll cause them some flooding problems there. ...
Thanks, I’ve been up that way before. My brother will probably be with me but I’d prefer driving him as he has some health problems. He used to know all these little back roads, he was a Matco tools distributor. I’ve just moved back the last 5 or 6 years. Spent most of the prior 30 years in Louisia...
I’m in Ocala and have a sister-in-law flying home from Dallas to Tampa on Tuesday. I’m concerned about coming back to Ocala from the airport. A friend is supposed to pick her up but I’m pretty sure it’ll end up being me. No big concern in Ocala but losing power....
We have a very old Mitchell Gold leather chair and ottoman. I picked it up from an estate sale 5 or 6 years ago. Love estate sales and consignment shops for great high end furniture. ...

A pair of Felco F-2 pruners. They’re Swiss made, can be taken apart and cleaned, sharpened. Love mine. They have other models if she’s a lefty or has small hands. They’re the most important thing I have in my garden. Be careful that you order from a reliable source to get the real thing. Other thin...
