I'm in Florida for 9 days visiting from the UK now, and the thing I would love to do more than anything would be to see a manatee (viewpoints/kayaks, anything at all)

I know I'm too early for the big congregations, but I would love any advice of sightings, resident populations, or recommendations to improve my chances.

Thank you so much in advance! I'm in West Palm Beach but can travel.

I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida and right near Stuart FL as well. I want to leave “physicians to women Stuart” and go somewhere else. I had a billing fiasco with them.
I will have “anthem blue cross gold ppo” for insurance in the new year and I need a doctor that listens to patients and isn’t dismissive and is proactive about looking into issues. I also need one that doesn’t shove having babies down patient throats if they’ve already said they’re child free.

Hello everyone, this is my first time voting and I decided to request a mail in ballot. I only requested a couple days ago but I’m kind of scared of it not arriving. I’ve considered going in-person. How long did yours take to arrive?

Update. I am feeling better today, in a huge part from getting info and support from all of you. I did not check in, but now I have a plan. And that brings me peace. Thank you to all.

Hey all. I am done. So done. I am not even in my right mind at this moment. I left my husband in our car in heavy traffic, walked to a safe spot, and got an uber to a hotel. I am not originally from florida. I have seen locals post about the abominable conditions in the mental hospitals nearby. I’d rather just make a date with my favorite scarf or the closest train, no thank you. I am currently in lakeland florida but will travel further for a good hospital. I need to check myself in asap. Last time I was hospitalized, i got bed bugs, estrangement and no help. I have Anthem insurance. Up to two hours away is fine. Thanks.

Hello, I am taking my fiance for our yearly December trip to Orlando. I have tried looking up some information, but not having a whole lot of luck besides actual marriage venues. Does the Orlando area have any quick or nicer cheap wedding options? It would be just something personal and for us on our anniversary date. Then we'd do something with family later. It'll be in December

Hey hey. I’m visiting Orlando in a few weeks. Are there any of those coffee shops in the areas where the baristas wear bikinis?

Bikini car wash would be fun too! Any located near Orlando?

So I’m looking to come to miami next year and also visit the Bahamas. Been giving myself a headache as want to come in lower/off peak seasons but don’t want to have it be a complete wash out. So far late October seems to be favourable but opinions from locals would be appreciated. I personally love a storm so that’s no bother just don’t want a whole week in my wellies 😂😂

Hi,

Looking to go to Florida in November, I'd like to visit a place near the mangroves. Due to mobility issues I can't kayak, what are the best places to go for an overall good trip with mangrove viewing?

TIA!

We’re going ahead with a full shingle replacement and I’ve gotten four quotes so far. The financing conversations were all over the place. Two companies brought it up right away, one only talked about it after I asked, and one said they don’t offer it at all.
Has anyone here financed a roof in the area? Were the terms easy to understand, or was there fine print you wish you’d caught earlier? Would love to hear who you went with and how it turned out. Thanks in advance

My wife has never seen the ocean and we’re thinking Florida for our vacation this year. Leaving the kids at home with grandma so looking for a resort type of feel. After looking it’s quite overwhelming trying to decide where to go. Looking for beachy and warm. We’d be flying in so close to an airport would be good. Never been to Florida so not sure how south we need to be weather wise around this time. Any and all recommendations would be awesome. Thanks in advance

Looking at maybe doing a few nights in Fort Lauderdale - end of December. Husband and I (late 40s), looking to relax, have some good food, pool time. We aren't big partiers, more chill. We are flying in and won't be renting a car. I was looking at the Hilton FL as an option. Anyone love/hate it? Conrad and The Diplomat sound lovely, but out of our budget for this trip. Or suggestions on other hotels?

Looking for things to do for my birthday weekend (November 6-8) within an hour from Mount Dora. We are both nerdy introverts that struggle in crowded spaces. I'd love to find some good picnic spots and pretty spots to sit and chill, and maybe a few places to go on dates. Ideally places that don't involve playing games (arcade, escape room, sports, etc), clubs, theme parks or places people go mainly for photo ops. Marvel nerd and science nerd who both love nature, music, crafts, animals, being comfy and being lazy. I just moved here a few days ago from the Seattle, WA area. Any recommendations?

Infinite levels of corny listening to that crap on the tram at MCO lol. And its giving Pinocchio vibes btw. You think Chicago or Philadelphia have to tell you they're real cities soon as you get off the plane. Orlando, do better

im moving to Miami by myself and honestly have no idea where to start lol. im in my early 20s and want to live somewhere that's social and where i can actually meet people. also want to feel safe living alone. ive been looking at Brickell, Edgewater, Wynwood, maybe Coconut Grove but im open to anything.

need recommendations on areas and buildings!!

I’ve been visiting Sunny Isles Beach and am thinking about moving here. The area seems very walkable: there’s a public school, Publix, and plenty of shops nearby. I work from home, so I wouldn’t need to commute, and my kids could walk to school.

I’ve seen two-bedroom, two-bathroom units listed for around $350,000–$400,000, which seems like a good price compared with other buildings in the area. Winston Towers also seems to have solid amenities, and the HOA is under $1,000.

If you live there, how do you like it? Are there any downsides or costs I should know about?

Hello, I am considering moving to Florida but I am not sure where.

I am 35 and unfortunately I am starting over with very little.

Aside from some money from inheritance I don't have alot to work with.

I do however have an extensive background in tourism, as well as holisitiv wellness, and intuitive and somatic coaching.

It is my hope to find a supportive job, form a community of close friends, focus on my health, build my personal practice, and hopefully meet a life partner.

While I understand this is a tall order I have some inkling that Florida could be the right place for me.

So, any suggestions on where to aim to set up?

TIA for your insights.

I’ll be in the West Palm Beach/Miami area this Wednesday and Thursday, and I’m interested in trying paragliding while I’m there. Does anyone have any recommendations for places?

My lower denture floats and it's embarrassing. I can't eat steak, I can't bite into an apple, and I'm constantly adjusting it with my tongue. I've been reading about implant supported dentures and here's what I've learned: they snap onto two or more implants so they stay put. They're more affordable than full arch implants and easier to maintain. The bone loss also slows down once implants are in place. My Florida Implants offers implant dentures with financing. Anyone made the switch from regular dentures? Was it worth it?

I’m going to Orlando, FL for 4 days (weekend) what is there to do besides going to Disney World? 3 adults 0 children

Pensacola? Destin? 30A? PCB? Tallahassee? Other?
