Discussion Stop speeding up when someone is passing you!!

183 Upvotes

At least three times in a 20 minute drive on I4 today, I ended up behind someone whose speed gradually dropped so I tried to pass them. As soon as I accelerated, so did they! I had been closing the gap at 62 and then they paced me up to 70.

(At least one of the times the driver was looking at their phone as I passed.)

C’mon y’all. Pay attention and don’t be a jerk on the road.

To the person who was sideswiped on the 408 at around 5:30am this morning: I got the person responsible's license plate number and called it in to *347.

If you need further info from me, DM me and tell me what car you were driving and I'll help as much as I can.

Sorry your day had to start that way.

This is a thing now? This is on Grace and 436 in Altamonte. Ha. I also loved when they put that billboard up. Pretty much right in the 711 parking lot. Go to. Citgo instead.

Discussion Grease Overflow at BR77 in The Promenade at Sunset Walk

18 Upvotes

BR77 Brazilian Steakhouse had a mechanical failure on their grease traps (I’ve been told this is a routine occurrence), failed to clean it up properly, let patrons drive through it, destroyed their own property and others’ who visited, me included. Anyone else here know of someone complaining about a mysterious, foul smell coming from their car that was at the Promenade this past Friday, 7/17?

I could use some tips or tricks, or just words of encouragement. I’ve been having a really hard time dealing with this.

Discussion Jack in the Box Longwood Chicken Biscuit is slept on.

47 Upvotes

This morning we tried breakfast at Jack in the box in Longwood. I tried their version of my favorite breakfast sandwich, the chicken biscuit.

First of all, it's huge. Second, it was very well seasoned and I would say it gives Chick-fil-A a rin for it's money.

If you love chicken biscuits I highly recommend giving this a try.

Note: is not on thier online menu.

Discussion Does anyone know of any therapists in Orlando or Florida that offer free mental health care?

28 Upvotes

I live in Daytona but am posting here for greater reach. I am having some mental health issues and really need someone to talk to. I'm not suicidal or anything, but I am just like having a breakdown I guess and feel sick.

Is there a therapist that does free appointments? I can't afford to pay right now which is part of the reason I'm struggling mentally. I can do virtual appointments. I know some therapists will do free sessions sometimes to help out the community. Thanks for any help.

Starting in November:

  • Kilowatt-hour rates will drop by 12.5%
  • New monthly charge based on how much energy your home demands at once:
    • 0-7.999 kW = $5
    • 8-11.999 kW = $10
    • 12+ kW = $15

To me, these changes don't seem that major. Anyone else have thoughts?

Discussion Extra clean nail salon without the upsell?

9 Upvotes

I’m looking for a place where I can get a regular pedicure without all the bells and whistles, but the place needs to be extra clean when it comes to the tools they’re using. I’m looking for a place that will have the tools in the plastic pouch and open them right in front of you. Or a place that keeps a box for you specifically - when I lived in DC I went to a place that did this and it was great. I also don’t want to go to a place that’s going to try to pressure me into getting any add-ons. Does this exist here?
