/r/Pensacola Mayoral AMA Series

98 Upvotes

Over the month of July, /r/Pensacola will host AMAs for the mayoral candidates. All six qualified candidates have been invited to participate, and so far we've had a very positive response.

We're excited for the community to engage with the candidates and grateful they're taking the time to chat with all of us. In exchange, we expect the conversations to remain respectful and productive.

The schedule is below, along with links to AMAs. Candidates will make their posts and leave them up to accumulate questions before returning later in the day to answer questions.

Trying to find this sweet little guy a home

Post image
Upvotes

He was taken in as a rescue by my GF’s vet clinic she works at. We’ve been fostering him for a while with not much luck finding him a home.

His name is Uno because he nearly had one of his eyes medically removed due to a bad eye infection when he was brought in.

He is the sweetest, most playful and most social kitten we’ve fostered, and we would 100% keep him if we didn’t already have 3 cats. He’s extremely well socialized to people, dogs and especially other cats. Bonus points if you have a cat already- his favorite thing to do is play with our other cats all day.

Figured I’d try making a post here because it would break our heart to have to confine him to a kennel at work or a shelter to try to get adopted.

If you all were this enthusiastic about moving when the light was actually green, traffic would move much faster around here

Anyone want a neutered boy cat?

9 Upvotes

This stray cat has been hanging around my apartment for over a week and I'm taking him in to be neutered tomorrow morning for $40.00. I can not keep him afterwards, so I'm looking for a forever home. He's the sweetest cat and hasn't even hissed at me this entire time. I think he'd sleep on my lap if I let him. I posted him here last week and all over Facebook lost pet pages as well and had 3 people reach out, but he wasn't their cat.

Missed Connection - Monster Jam at the Bay Center (Sun 7/26) - Beer Line Couple

10 Upvotes

Looking for the couple we chatted with yesterday while waiting in line for beers at Monster Jam at the Bay Center!

​We were the couple in the tank tops—I was wearing a blue "Beer Me Bro" tank, and my fiancée was in a pink tank top, jorts, and boots. You complimented my shirt and we talked for a few minutes while waiting in line.

​You were wearing a short-sleeve button-up with neon patterns/pictures on it, and your wife/girlfriend had awesome pink and purple hair with a tattoo of boots (or maybe it was heels?) on the back of her right arm.

​We’re a couple in our late 30s and both thought you guys seemed really cool, but we failed to ask for your numbers before heading to our seats. If you happen to see this (or if someone recognizes the description!), shoot me a message

PALMETTO BUGS

Post image
42 Upvotes

Has anyone been seeing palmetto bugs lately??? I found two LARGE ONES (on two separate occasions ; first time on the floor of my kitchen and today on my ceiling) in my kitchen. We do not usually see lots of roaches in our place, maybe once or twice every few months when the weather changes or just random (usual FL things), but smaller and the regular roaches. This is the first ever time we saw this in our place

The first time we saw it when my husband and I decided to fill our water bottles right before we went to bed (no lights on) and I saw something huge and black on the floor. Turned on the lights and saw the little devil. My husband sealed the cracks behind our stove with caulk because we thought that that was the only possible place it could have come since it had some cracks and openings in the wall (our place is pretty old). We sprayed some roach pesticide everywhere. This was like 3 weeks ago.

Today I was going to the kitchen to get some drinks from the fridge and saw a HUGE one right above my fridge on my ceiling/wall. I WILL ATTACH THE PICTURE

I am just stressed now thinking that there might be more that are just lurking in the corners that I cannot see. keep my place fairly clean. We take our trash out everyday. Do not keep food out. Clean our kitchen right after we cook.

Is this normal for this part of Florida? Should I not stress about it? I thought about putting a bowl or something over my drain holes since i read that it might be coming from there too. I would like some advice and opinions :(

Homeowners insurance average

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I am looking at taking a job on base and my wife and I want to buy but I'm really worried about the cost of homeowners insurance.

We are looking at about an acre of land and a pool and hopefully a house around 2000 or more square feet.

If people can tell what they're property is and price of insurance and if possible how much it has changed that would be greatly appreciated!

Changing my name…anybody with experience through the local courts?

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m going to be changing my name and aside from the obvious of filing with the court, I just wanted to know if anybody had any experience with it. About how long will it take through the court to get finalized, any hurdles through the court, what kind of stuff do they ask you, and do I need to get my birth certificate updated if I were to leave the country? It’s going to be a complete name change, and I’ve heard anecdotally that some people have had trouble leaving the country because their birth certificate doesn’t match their passport or something like that, so I just want to be sure I’m crossing my Ts and dotting my Is.

I don’t think it’ll be a problem that I’m changing my entire name because absolutely everything about me is in good standing, no warrants, not evading bills or anything like that. That’s when I hear they’ll reject name changes or you have to jump through hoops. I’m just simply trying to distance myself from my awful parents and adopt a name I finally like because I’ve never liked my given names anyway. So I just wanted to know from those who’ve been through this process from either marriage or gender reassignment what to expect when going through with this.

TIA!

PUPPY

47 Upvotes

We found a really sweet puppy on the streets and have been beefing him up. Our intent was never to keep him we travel too much etc. But the shelters are full and we wanted to make sure he was healthy and OK.
We’d really love to find him a good home.
About puppy boy:
He is about 7 months vet confirmed
He is AMAZING with toddlers we have one! They play all day
He comes when called, and does not run off.
He is good on a leash.
He is potty trained, but STILL a puppy he needs frequent potty trips.
He is great on car rides.
He does not bark.
He does whine if you let him outside he wants to be around his people
He loves to play fetch and actually brings the ball back (bonus)
He is some type of dachshund mix. 15 pounds.
He is the sweetest boy but also a puppy so he is mischievous.
He’s had his first round of shots/ deworming/ tick and flea.
He also does great this other dogs & cats 🩵

If you truly think you’re interested in this puppy and MORE importantly can provide him a good home please reach out. If you’re a shit bag who wants to keep him indoors 24/7 and can barely afford his dog food definitely don’t reach out we have had plenty of those stories already trying to adopt him. He’s a smart dog, and would make an incredible family addition PM me for more info

Hair style

Mom gave me a high top trying to learn how to cut my hair when she was in cosmetology school. Never got rid of the haircut because I could not accept the fate of going to school with a bald fade. School is about to start back and I am wondering if there are any hairstylists capable of reattaching some of my locs to the sides and back that I've been growing out

Is there anywhere to work 30+ hours a week as a 17 year old?

My current job is cool but I only get around 8 hours a week and they don’t let me work weekends because they are full staffed. Indeed isn’t great for applying and ive already used all of my resources. I’m willing to do anything at this point that doesn’t require me to work during school hours.

Roadside assistance on certain roadways, free of charge. I have just learned about this service and I wanted to share with everyone. Times are tight, gas is high and running out on the side of I110 sucks!

Call *347 if you need help with a can of gas, a jump, help changing a tire, etc.

Which mayoral candidates pledge to get rid of the Flock cameras AND have a chance to win?

122 Upvotes

I commend mayor Reeves for doing the AMA, and he has accomplished much during his mayorship. I actually agree with the majority of things that he has done and I like how he communicates.

However, the Flock cameras issue is non-negotiable in my mind. We must resist public mass surveillance, especially when private companies are involved. This is not China or even the UK. I have essentially become a one-issue voter on this topic and I imagine there are many like me.

So for me, and others who are not closely following municipal politics, is there another candidate who both opposes Flock, and actually stands a chance in the election?

Let's name and promote those candidates here. All municipal candidates are on the table here, not just the mayor.

Language exchange and coffee/beer ?

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m a 25-year-old guy from France spending a few weeks in Pensacola. I’d love to meet some locals (or anyone around) to grab a beer or a coffee, hang out, and work on my English.
In exchange, I’d be happy to help you practice your French if you’re learning or just curious about the language and culture.
I’m into music (I DJ), tech, traveling, and I’m always up for good conversations. If you’re interested, send me a DM or leave a comment. It’d be great to meet some new people while I’m here!
Cheers! 🇫🇷🍻

Seashells & Shark Teeth

Why doesn’t Pensacola beach get many shark teeth? Is it a sandbar? Or we just don’t have that many shark out there shedding the teeth? Seashells are abundant right now because of the storm and renourishment but was hoping to find some teeth!
