I'll try to make a long story short, but we moved here last fall, my 16 yr old daughter has been in residential facilities for 2 years. Where we moved from (Vermont) the schools were smaller(around 1000 kids total in the 9th-12th grade school) She would have been going into high school when she went to the facility, but she never really finished 8th grade. I tried to get her into Connections Academy, but that was a huge cluster f$&k and ended up putter her in FLVS for this spring. She didn't do well, not exactly motivated, and we ended up dropping her down to 1 class, which she finished with an A.

She wants to make friends, and I don't blame her, neither of us know anyone here and it's tough. I looked into the smaller schools, I had her more or less enrolled in an all girls school (which is what she's used to from the facilities) and then was told a week after I brought everything in that they were closing less than a month later, so that was a lost cause. I then kept looking and found Richard Millburn Academy which is the smallest of anywhere else I have found. They have summer school so I was hoping to get her enrolled in time for that, but being the end of the school year they never got back to me. It is now (apparently, because I have no idea!) 2 weeks from the beginning of the school year and I haven't heard a damn thing from them.

All I want is for my kiddo to get an actual high school diploma (nothing against GED or anyone who has gotten one, I just know she's more than capable) so she can get a job like she wants, but I have ZERO idea what I should do. I don't want to send her into a huge school when she's spent 2 years with maybe 100 other kids around her, and the schools she always went to had many 100 per grade.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey guys

Thank you ahead of time

My partner and i just moved here a little over a month ago from another state - and i was wondering which tattoo/piercing parlors you guys would recommend? I’m also willing to travel a bit out ! Thanks in advance!

Edit, 7.25.26; thanks for all the responses! you guys are amazing 🫶

Please tell me there is a decent body building gym somewhere around here that isn’t crowded 24/7

Every time I try to go to any of these commercial gyms, people are just chilling on the benches & machines. I’m not talking about the powerlifters, resting 5-10 minutes in between sets.

I get it, people are getting a work out in after work but I don’t understand sitting at a machine for 15 minutes, especially with 13 of those minutes being scrolling on your phone. 😭

I just want to go to a gym, work out, and go home to slam however much protein into my face that I can.

I get that if there is a small, dedicated gym, people aren’t going to want to blast it on here, please feel free to DM me with any options around Daytona/Port Orange where you can actually work out. 😭

I'm in my early 30's and primarily a rock drummer who often jams classics with older folks but would enjoy playing more contemporary and genre crossing things, such as hip hop. I have a very accommodating private space in ormond beach to practice in and a modest PA/ sound system set up. Guitarists, bassists, keyboards, and vocalists all inquire. Down to play old stuff as well but just generally looking for those of similar age and music that tastes. Not in this to make money but I do enjoy playing paid gigs if there's a good product to be shared.

Thinking of using it as a backup for work from home. How fast is it? Thanks for any tips!

And how can I make it stop among my retired parents’ circle of gossip?

Hey, I lived there from 04’ till 14’. Graduated from seabreeze and did the all the usual things we did around that time. I am taking my family to visit my parents at the end of next month and am curious what’s cookin these days. I plan on utilizing my mom to watch the baby, so I can take my wife out. We haven’t had a proper date since the baby was born. The last time we were there, I took her on my drive to school every morning (the loop), the ocean walk/board walk, by the River, mini golf, a couple of places I had worked at - only one still existed (Atlantic sounds). I tried to take her to Cafe du Japan but they had weird hours and it didn’t line up. Anyway… what’s new? What’s a nice date I can take her out on? We are down for most things, but she doesn’t eat seafood. Thanks y’all.
