Our sunpass statement has us going through Ft De Soto (correct) and Massachusetts in the same day. Has us as an 8 axle vehicle when we are 2. Also has us driving through New York and Maine. Racking up all these fraud charges and after agreeing it was suspicious over the phone now claim after a two month investigation that we are responsible for paying. I’m not even sure how it’s possible but now I feel like we can’t even take a toll anymore without worrying about this crap.

Storm cleanup, serving food, handing out supplies… where and when can the community continue helping? Tampa, st Pete, SRQ area… I know we got another system coming this week, so I’d love to help the community before the next storm hits!

Dennis Phillips won’t be sleeping much this week.

I’m headed out of Tampa in a couple weeks and have a bunch of furniture that I was originally going to sell, but now I want it to go to WNC to help somebody rebuild their life. I have a queen bed and frame, 2 couches, 3 end tables, 2 night stands, 1 table with 3 chairs, and 2 lamps. Can anyone direct me to someone accepting this type of aid for the area? Some of these people in Appalachia were hard to get to even before the floods and now I just can’t even imagine the state their in. Please help.

So me and my partner love Halloween and the alternative scene. I remember last year or maybe the year before that there were some great markets that had witchy stuff, oddities, and other spooky stuff for the Halloween season and now I’m having issues finding them. Does anyone know about these type of markets or just some general Halloween events for this year?

I have a family member who may need to call an ambulance at some point. They would want to go to a specific hospital that is about 7 miles away. However, there are 2 other hospitals that are closer.

If they call an ambulance, will they be able to choose where to go, or is it like vehicle breakdown insurance, where they’ll cover a tow only to the closest dealership?

This was on the wall of an old automotive garage.

Can anyone recommend a good cleaner/organizer? Not so much a traditional maid - I don't need my floors cleaned so much as I need help undoing the depression den that's built up with weeks of travel for work, my ADHD killing me, and surgery. I'm not about to be on an episode of Hoarders, but it's also not a very comfortable situation and it's stressing me out a lot. If you know anyone that does that in the area, it would be a total game-changer for me: I really need to get back on top of this, but recovery is absolutely killing me, so I think it's time to bring in a pro (or someone who does it as a sidehustle.)

The few times I have used a Verizon sim in my phone, I rarely have 2 out of 5 signal strength bars. Calls constantly drop. Has anyone else experienced similar QoS with Verizon in the Palma Ceia area of South Tampa?

Our landlord withheld our deposit past 30 days. When she finally cut us a check after 40 days, there was no explanation for the sizable chunk withheld. Do I have any recourse?

TLDR: Bad accident, scared of surgery, would like a PT or Spine specialist that starts with conservative treatments.

So I was in a rear ending in 2022 and have been to the chiropractor, Spine Institute and Neuro for multiple bulges and herniations.

Thankfully the guy has amazing insurance which I intend to utilize.

Insurance settlement offer was a joke btw. But what did we expect? Them to do the right thing….ha!

So….I am in chronic but not debilitating pain. 2 advil and I can go about my day, but without or after light work it hurts.

I see/read success stories of healing herniations but everyone wants me to have surgery.

As I stated , scared of the knife and unintended consequences.

So….is there a person in the Tampa area that starts with a more conservative approach?

TIA.

Update: thank you everyone for your suggestions. For clarity, I do have a lawyer.

We have been working together on this for some time. At the deposition and mediation my attitude was “if I’m going to live with this constant nagging, but not debilitating pain I’d do it for X amount” but they came back with X that was light years away from what I think it’s worth.

So, that set us back on the path of recovery. If they’re NOT going to pay what the injury should be worth then I will seek care and they can pay for that instead.

Yes, this was before the Tort reform in fact the day before it was signed we got it squeezed in so the limitations are not an issue.

I have an appt at Bio-Spine in a week. Does anyone have good/bad or ugly on this location? I landed there based on their approach from conservative to aggressive in an order that made sense in my head.

Again, thank you!

I emailed Dr. Johnson about a load of Cuban Tree Frogs I've had appear in my area. They like to hang out on our porch, every night. While I love them, they're not good for our local ecosystem since they are invasive and eat lots of local creatures, ranging from lizards to snakes. I inquired about how to humanely eradicate the tadpols and adults and he almost immediately responded back. To keep things short, I'll post the link. It'd behoove you to just scroll towards the bottom and you'll see a section regarding control and prevention. Apparently, according to him, this year has been a rather bad year as they are breeding like crazy and growing in exponential numbers.

These are not good for our ecosystem and I feel like too many people don't know how destructive they are here in Florida. If you're anything like my partner, you think they're cute and cool. They're not.

You can build "homes" for them in your yard out of PVC pipe and they will breed and live in them allowing easy eradication. Also, significantly like mosquitoes they can lay eggs in very small, shallow pools of water, like SMALL amounts of water.

Please, for our local ecosystem, familiarize yourself with what they look like and how to get rid of them!

If anyone needs help, feel free to reach out and let me know!
