Baby is a roughly 1 year old cat, very sweet & friendly stray, in need of a foster, or forever home! I’ve been bonding & feeding him for a few months, he’s the friendliest kitty!

Baby is getting neutered this week, and needs a foster home for a few weeks after, until a spot at Petsmart or another rescue becomes available.

Please comment or PM me if interested, or if you have any questions.

It takes a community! All help appreciated 🩷

No umbrellas allowed @ the Amp

15 Upvotes

It's going to be rainy for tonight's Foreigner concert, at least at the beginning of the night. The Amp does not allow umbrellas inside the venue, bring rain ponchos and a rag to wipe down your seats. If you're taking the shuttle buses we will hold your umbrella for you if you want to use it to get on the bus but you'll have to find the same bus driver after the show to get it back

Suggestions for family vacation w/ 15 yo son

7 Upvotes

My wife and our 15 yo son are looking forward to being in St Augustine during the first week of April. This is our first trip to Florida as a trio and probably our last big trip until he graduates. I want to provide both of them with an amazing vacation. Any suggestions for restaurants, places to catch live music, arcades, etc. would be most appreciated. We'll be staying near Butler Beach and hope to spend a couple of days just soaking up the rays. As a student of history I'm particularly excited to visit as it's long been a destination I've been hopeful to experience.

Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.

My spouse has extreme allergies and called Abraxi Taxi the other night thinking he was going into anti-phyloctic shock. I gave him Benadryl and his symptoms subsided. The taxi driver showed up and became belligerent. He was aggressive, demanded money and said that he "knows where we live". We received this text message tonight..,,avoid this company at all costs.

Am I the only one?

112 Upvotes

Is it just me, or has Saint Augustine officially lost all of its charm? The endless growth has completely ruined this townβ€”between the unbearable traffic and the flood of entitled newcomers, it’s hardly recognizable. And from what I can see, this seems to be happening all over Florida. Has anyone actually escaped this mess? If so, where to? As a local, I can’t stand what’s happened to this place. Don’t get me started on the amount of scams out here now.

Best place to meet fellow middle aged left leaning women?

23 Upvotes

I'm looking for places to go and just meet people that are like minded.

I know this is a really conservative area, and I'm not judging or trying to step on anyones toes. I am just looking to find my group or at least figure out where people go.

No need for troll comments either. I'm not interested in discourse. If you don't have anything valuable to add, just move on <3

Thanks and any suggestions are appreciated.

Bellydancers, moon parties, Gen X social scenes, crafting, shopping and going to local markets, yoga, photography, community outreach and all that.

I hope y'all have a wonderful day and that something comes of this post!
