My (very nice) neighbors, just stopped by. They have a massive dog and a mid-sized bundle of electricty, They kindly asked that we not set off our Publix fireworks. Before they came over, we set off the ones that don't go "boom". Fireworks are going off all around, but we respected their request. Being neighborly isn't so hard. Happy Birthday America! :usa:

Came from LA, after 33 years and live in SWFL, now for 12. This is paradise. Amazing roads, awesome infrastructure. quick construction on roads, no potholes.
Too many people that drive from so many different places, but I live 8 minutes from the beach in a place I don't even think about crime, have beautiful palm threes lining my commute to work. We don't suck.

Yet I’ve never seen a wild bobcat
My husband and I paddled our canoe across the pond so I could fully commit to the role of a barefoot, 5'0” feral swamp goblin, shrieking at a bobcat to drop our duck from its jaws. The bobcat glared at me with pure, uncut hatred and absolutely complied, after a pause — and the mamma duck, Tina, lived to quack another day and raise her ducklings.

I left BTR in 2014 and grew up in 70805. I now live in the land of golf courses and billionaires. Anyone who advocates for BTR is a moron. The last of my family is now dead and I will likely never return. You live in a third-world city.
re: itinerary on vacation: yes or no?

Absolutely not.
I hate planning. I want to explore and wander. I don't want guided tours, I don't want to be somewhere, on vacation, at a set time. Give me the ease of just being relaxed. And, you will discover all of those "off the map" places, with fun locals.

I did not know that.
My mom wanted to call the coroner for my aunt, to have her committed, who soon after drank herself to death at 36. My grandparents were in denial. It's possible the call to the coroner could have saved her life. Oh, the irony.

This sounds like my cousin and a lot of that side of the family. Programmed for disaster.

Bingo.
He was the Prodigal son. Called me after a decade+ (no idea how he found me), just getting out of prison. Gave him my grandparents number, and he thrived, for years, did really well, got engaged. But relapsed. Threw away everything he and others helped him build.
He will be cremated, no funeral, no obit. 45 and just gone. Because he couldn't get past his demons.
Young(ish) Relative Dies

My 1st cousin, last I heard, was on life-support and they were pulling the plug.
Background -
His Mom, my Aunt, turned him over to his bio Dad, as an infant, who got re-married. She (step-mom) had 3 daughters. I visited them in CO when I was 11. He had a pretty good childhood.
Saw him again when I was 16 and in my 30's & 40's
He decided to conduct a "transaction" that left him paralyzed, for 6 years. He is brain dead because of high blood pressure rupturing an artery. He is an organ donar, so not sure if he gone yet.
How can one/same family be so different?

Always have flowers delivered to their work or social group location. Never to their house. They want the big show in front of their friends and coworkers.
Let me break down why your post is awful (and I feel for the man that needs to follow your advice).
1: Flowers die and are ridiculous purchases.
2: Social group location? A table full of women I barely know is so polarizing and awful.
3 So, she is so needy she needs to show off your purchase to a group of superficial women?
A woman that "needs" to "show-off" a gift, or thoughtful moment from her husband, is indoctrinated, by other women. Actually, that isn't a woman, that is a 30-50 year old woman, who never grew up.
Marriage is not a pony-show. It is gratitude and thankfulness, with some servitude thrown in (that should ruffle some feathers).

This is old, but I don't think it's lost its charm. And condolances.
quote:
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolf hound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ‘I know why.’
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, ‘People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life – – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?’ The Six-year-old continued, ‘Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.’
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy..
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
I have to admit, I’m growing awfully tired—not of the news itself, but of the people entrusted to deliver it. There’s a particular kind of fatigue that sets in when you’re trying to stay informed, and the very folks reporting the facts seem a little… unacquainted with them.
Today a reporter announced, in all seriousness, that the two earthquakes were “hundreds of thousands of miles apart.”
Now, bless their heart, but the Earth’s entire circumference is only about 25,000 miles. You simply cannot get “hundreds of thousands of miles apart” on a planet that size. It’s not even mathematically possible unless someone left Earth entirely or lives on Jupiter, and I don’t believe that was part of the story.
It’s the sort of thing that makes you set your wine down, close your eyes, and take a long, steadying breath. I’m not angry—just weary. I’d like the news to be delivered by people who at least know the dimensions of the world they’re reporting on. Is that too much to ask?

I think we have a LOT in the 50-60+ range.
